Windows 7 - Wireless: "No Connections are available"

Ramesh,

I'm sure you're a great guy - but please don't cut and paste an answer without reading the question.

(Too many answers in this Community answer a different question, which adds to frustration......)

How does this help?

"The wireless networks will only appear if your PC has a wireless network adapter installed, the adapter is turned on, and the wireless access point is in range"

I explained that the two Network Adapters have been uninstalled and re-installed - and both claim to be working normally.

Perhaps I did not spell out that the Router (why confuse with "network access point?" was 6 feet away - although I did mention it working via cable/ethernet

If you have any insight in to how an Adapter can be "on" yet the laptop not "see" the router, then I would appreciate the info.

And why send me a link to Win XP when this subject header clearly says "Windows 7" ?????

Then, having found the Win 7 equivalent, it provides no insight about a Network Adapter being "on " but not "seeing" the router.

I asked a question about Wireless LAN in the BIOS.

The lack of answer supports my theory of answers being "cut and paste".

Sorry - but that's my impression.

I would be really, really appreciative of anyone that can help explain how to get this one laptop to "see" the wireless network - and join the other devices that connect fine by wireless.

Hello Julian,

Welcome to Microsoft Community Forum,

As per the description, I understand that you were facing “no connection available” error message while connecting to the wireless network. The issue could be if there is some network settings corruption or network drivers need to be updated.

I would appreciate if you can provide us the following information to help us understand the issue better.

1. What happens when you try to connect? Do you get any error message?
2. Have you checked running Windows network troubleshooter?
3. Was the driver for your new network adaptor installed successfully?

Let’s try these methods below and check if that solves the problem.

Method 1:

There can be a number of reasons why a computer is not able to detect a wireless adaptor signal. The wireless networks will only appear if your PC has a wireless network adapter installed, the adapter is turned on, and the wireless access point is in range. Many network connection problems are caused by hardware that isn't set up or the drivers are not installed properly. Follow the steps in article below to check on every aspect and troubleshoot accordingly.
