Well, I actually went through many days of troubleshooting the software until one day I just noticed the little light near the wireless switch was off. Geez! Well, at least I figured that one out. :p

My cause of this problem ALSO was as simple as wireless switch of my notebook accidentally went and was in OFF position!

After spending 4 hours on reading forums and complicated situations I found this out myself

My be the moderator could place this reason to the very top of the thread, so that the simplest and probably most frequent reason for notebook problem is given first

A link to a page with this info was given already 8 years ago in one of the posts above.

Quote:"Many new Laptops come with a physical switch that disables the Wireless (helps to save battery power if the Wireless is not working).

Consult you computer’s manual and make sure that if you have such a switch it is On".
