Hi spitfire46,

a) Are you using a desktop or a laptop?

Make sure that the WLAN switch is turned on.

For Windows 7, you may try the following commands.

  1. Click Start
  2. All Programs\Accessories and right click on Command Prompt
  3. Select "Run as Administrator" to open a command prompt.

In the command prompt window that opens, type the following commands, each followed by the Enter key:

Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults: netsh winsock reset catalog

Reset IPv4 TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log

Reset IPv6 TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log

Reboot the machine. This should help.

Later try to get the IP address, you will get it.

    I have a desktop.  Acer aspire.  It originally had windows 8.1, but it now has windows 10.  Last night, it automatically updated.  Today, when I tried to get online, it wouldn't connect to my wifi.  Won't even show any connections.  I went to the command prompt, and it gave me 3 media state...media disconnected messages.  What can I do?
