Why do I have to do a "repair" to connect to my wireless network...?
My laptop has been working fine on my wireless network for many months... but has now developed a problem....
When I boot-up my laptop (and press the "wireless" button) it no longer detects my wireless network. However, if I right-click on the wireless network icon in the system tray, and choose "repair", it then works fine.
Background: my laptop is an E-System 3086; my router is a Netgear DG834PN; and I have excellent signal strength.
Thankyou for your response.... Here is some supplementary info. The E-System range is distributed by PC World in the UK. The wireless button has to be pressed after booting each time (it is some sort of power saving feature)... and worked fine for a couple of months... but now I have to "repair" each time.
I've never heard of an E-System 3086 (who makes it?). In any case, you shouldn't have to press your wireless button every time you boot up. That is, on most laptops, you just press the wireless button once and wireless stays on, even if you shut down the machine and boot it back up (that is, the system should remember that wireless was activated when you shut down and resume the wireless state when it comes back up).
Are you sure the wireless is off when the machine comes back from being booted up? My thought is, maybe the wireless is actually on when you boot up, and when you press the wireless button, you're actually turning it back off. Then, when you do a repair, you're turning it back on again. Is there an indicator light on the wireless button that comes on when wireless is on?
