Wireless connection problem

by pangb - 4/14/12 1:29 PM

My wireless has been working fine for the past months until today. I hibernated my laptop in the morning, came back in the afternoon and I cannot connect to the wireless. It says "The connection was unsuccessful. This computer currently has limited connectivity to "name of my wireless""
I do not think my router has an issue because there are 2 laptops and phones are connected to it with no problems. I have tried resetting and restarting my router and my laptop.

My laptop is a macbook pro 2010, installed with bootcamp and windows 7

I tried to do system restore when I found out there was a restore point saying "Device Driver Package Install: Desksoft Network Service" which i suspect is the cause. I could not however do system restore, it says "System restore did not complete successfully... Details: Incorrect function. (0x80070001)

Also, I tried to connect to other wireless that are unprotected with passwords such as a BT-Openzone. The same problem comes up "The connection was unsuccessful. This computer currently has limited connectivity to "name of wireless""

I tried uninstalling my network adapter, the broadcom 802.11n network adapter but same problem occurs.

Please advise me, thank you!

I have to go with hardware failure. Do try a free WiFi hotspot to finalize the test.

If there is no way to turn off and back on the wifi feature and that does not help then it's time for the shop.

If price is an issue, I'd consider one of those gaming wifi bridges since it can stand in while you think over your options.
