    Im having a really strange issue. My 7811 is not picking up any wireless networks all of a sudden. I reset the modem, even tried a different router but i cant pick up anything. Its not a network issue because i can pick up the signal just fine on my psp. The wireless switch is on, but could there be some kind of software issue with it? Thanks

    You can try FN+F2 and also go to Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Network Adaptors > Your Wireless Adaptor > Right-click and go to Properties > Go to the Advanced tab and make sure it says Wireless On. You can also make sure it is Enabled in Control Panel > Network Connections.

    I had the same problem and found this through search.
