No/poor connection to Router
Hello,
so... I made the mistake and had my heat sink cleaned by 'professionals'. I had to bring it back again, b/c I couldn't play any games after they had done that, now I really don't wanna bring it back a third time, b/c when I brought it home yesterday I was unable to connect to the internet.
I thought it might be the router since it has been giving troubles for a while now, but a house mate of mine had no problem connecting to the Internet with her phone.
The problem that I have is that I don't get a connection at all and when I sat right next to the router yesterday I had exactly 1 bar in the connection thingy. I would also like to mention that I have had 0 experience with the type of router I currently have, it is connected with a DSL cable and I have only seen those way back in the day when I had 0 experience with computers!
I checked my Event Log and the only thing that keeps showing up is a 7x079 error telling me that the dhcp couldn't give me an ip adress (i think it was, I'm not on my computer right now).
Does anyone know
a) how my wifi adapter could have been destroyed while cleaning a heat sink and reapplying thermal past and
b) how to fix it? What do you need to know to help me?
If I'm slow with answering I want to apologize in advance but I can only get online when I'm at work and I have tomorrow off!
