ok, im really new to this forum, and i'm not sure if this is already asked/solved, so please be gentle X_X
well about a week ago i bought a new laptop - Lenovo ideapad Y460. Setting it up on the 1st day was easy and all, and my internet connections worked perfectly fine. Then within these few days i've been surfing the web, and sometimes my webpage just doesn't load and it says my internet connection is cut off. Just this morning i had the same message, so i thought i'd try removing the networks and try connecting again. here's the problem. whenever i try to set up a new connection, it says 'Choose the wireless router or access point you want to configure" and "It might take up to 90 seconds for unconfigured devices on your network to appear." but then nothing shows up. i've tried reformatting my laptop, and it doesn't solve the problem.
i've searched on many many MANY sites and forums and none of their 'solutions' worked. i've tried so many methods that i cant remember what i did to my computer. well i'm not sure if this helps, but on the 1st day i tried setting up my laptop's wireless connection, i could even detect my neighbour's router. so i suspect that its the problem with my laptop, rather than my router. my router is 2wire 2701hgv-E (if that helps).
also, my laptop runs on 64 bit windows 7. and i can connect to the internet when plugging the ethernet wire to my laptop. please help me!
