I have an Asus laptop, model U50A, using Windows 7 32 bit. It will not connect to internet wirelessly. The wifi card is: Intel (R) WiFi Link 1000 BGN. Currently I am using an ethernet cable directly connected to the modem. It seems like the driver might need an update or maybe the wifi card needs to be replaced. I'm not all that knowledgeable about computers. What do you all think?
 
Can you take a screenshot of device manager with the network entry expanded to show all devices? Its possible it got disabled or you have a wifi switch that is turned off. When you try connecting to wireless are there any error messages?

I disconnected the ethernet cable and went to the bottom right part of the screen. The second pic shows no connection available when I try to to connect to internet.

It looks like you may have a driver issue. See how its got yellow triangle next to your wireless? If you right click on that and click on properties it should tell you whats going on with it. You can post more screenshots if you wish. Does it connect to any other wireless network and just not yours or will it not connect to anything?
 
It will not connect to any network other than the ethernet to modem. I'm getting this text after right clicking and going to properties.

This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)

If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system.
 
I haven't came across that error message since 95/98/XP days

This google search may help with some fixes available.


Was it working fine before and then just stop working all together? Did you add any other hardware to the laptop?

I'll take a look at that link. Thanks. It was connecting wirelessly, then stopped. I don't know why. I have not added any hardware.
