Wireless Internet Issue

kevinglano1970 · 07-09-2009, 05:18 PM

I just got a new laptop, and i connected the wireless internet to the network, it worked, but now it only works after i disable, then enable, the wireless on my laptop, if i dont do it, it wont work about half the time. When i run windows diagnostics, it says it cant find a problem.
I hooked the laptop up to a cable, and it worked great, it works great with the wireless when it actually works.
I think that some program or setting is blocked the wireless connection sometimes.
Does anyone know what the problem with it is?
