I have had a faultless wireless connection since i bought my laptop six months ago when suddenly the connection began to faulter. It started with the 'limited access' and 'local connection only' signals which would start and stop totally randomly with the connection going on and off likewise.
Sometimes it would be on for a few minutes then go off,other times it would last a few hours before deciding to lose connection. Now the connection has gone completely.
In the network and sharing center it shows 'This computer-----Red X-----internet' and 'Not connected' underneath.I am not great at computers so any help in the simplest form would be great. I'm stuck!

Interestingly,i can get connected directly to the modem/router but not by wireless. Also a second laptop in another room picks up the connection perfectly. (HP530 too)

It seems the problem is on the laptop although i am not aware of making any changes. I am using HP530 laptop,Vista Basic and the router is a Belkin G+ Mimo.

Please can someone help me?
