    "Problem with wireless adapter or access point" I cant connect to wifi


    Ok, first off I would just like to say that this is my first thread post on this forum so sorry if I have done something wrong or am missing vital information. My problem is that I am trying to connect to my college campus's wireless internet. I will give more specific details in a bit. Basically, I was watching YouTube before going to class and shut down my PC before I left. I was connected to the internet then and it was working fine. When I got back is when I started getting problems. I booted up my computer as I usually do but instead of automatically connecting to my school's network, it didn't connect at all. When I go down to the wifi signal on the bottom right and choose the network and hit connect, it fails. This is what it reads: "Windows was unable to connect to (network name.)" I have tried going to Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network Connections and disabling and enabling everything and that did not work. I should also tell you that all the devices in this window have a red "X" next to them. I also tried all of Windows "troubleshooting problems." What I don't get is that my phone connects just fine, as well as everyone else on campus. I'm getting a bit frustrated because I am quite knowledgeable when it comes to computers and this sort of thing. I even custom built my own desktop at home. Here are the specs of the laptop I am having trouble with:

    Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
    CPU: Intel Core i7-4810MQ @ 2.8 ghz
    RAM: 16.0 gb

    Not sure if you need this info but these are all of my "Network Adapters:"

    Bluetooth Device (Personal Area Network)
    Bluetooth Device (RFCOMM Protocol TDI)
    Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260
    Killer e2200 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20)

    Please let me know if you need any extra information and I will try and add it as soon as possible. Thanks for any and all help!

    Can we get a screen shot? I know what you mean but a pic would be nice.
    In the meantime uninstall all the devices from device manager and let windows find them again. (you don't have to remove the driver for now)

    Cyanna, I'm sure he's meaning this although his will also be for a Wireless Connection:
