Connectivity Issue

My brand new, $1000 HP laptop from costco wont connect to the wifi at the motel where we are at but my daughters $300 acer will...

I have had this computer for a few months and have been in many hotels and all of them connected fine as it does at home, but here it wont, i have to move to another location closer to the router for it to work

This is extremely frustrating that her very cheap computer will and mine wont, i ran the program that tries to resolve the issue and it just tells me to find the router, etc., meaning that it isnt connecting..

Any ideas how i can make my allegedly far better computer work as well as the cheapest computer in the world? can you tell i am frustrated ;)


someone said something about "search for networks" being shut off, but if it was it wouldnt connect for me when i move closer to the router, so that cant be it, right...


both have windows 7

Try finding an updated driver for the wireless card. Most of the time that works.

No, I'm not talking about one of those. I'm talking about the wireless card inside the laptop. What model of Hp do you have?
