    Second NV52 I've owned, first time I've encountered this issue:
    A few days ago, it stopped connecting to our wireless router. The card is the stock ralink 802.11n and shows no issues, and is running the 3.0 driver. Tried to direct connect it with Ethernet and still couldn't get through. Windows recognizes that there are routers available, but refuses to connect to any. I tried not only my own Netgear router(I would give specs but it's currently locked away in my roommate's room) as well as some neighbors' open routers, all with the same result, so I don't believe it's an issue with the router. I'm currently using my old gateway desktop with a wireless adapter and having no issues,so that just seems to add more fire to the idea that it's either windows or some part of the gateway itself. I tried to search the forum for any similar info but had no luck with results. Any help is appreciated.Thanks.
