Hi, the network I connect to almost always comes up after a starting up my computer or rebooting my computer. However if I become disconnected I cannot find it again until a reboot (almost always). The connection is always very strong when I find it so weak connection is not the problem.
When I go into the control panel under manage wireless connections the network comes up under different names. For instance I will have "Pinecone" "Pinecone 2" "Pinecone 2 3". The network should just be called pinecone.

Its a secured network and it does have some minor security functions, like it comes up as Unnamed Network.

What going on?

Hello,

First off, let's try removing all your wireless profiles then re-add Pinecone, make sure that you type in the correct security key.
Removing an existing wireless "profile"

Automatically connect to your SSID which is Pinecone.

Okay, I removed the existing profiles and then I found the network connected to it and saved it as a new profile. Is that what you meant?
I noticed if I manually disconnect the network will remain as pinecone, there will also be another network under it called Unnamed network which is also just pinecone, I dont know why that is. However if i close my computer (it goes to sleep) and open it again I get disconnected and I cannot find it still.

Thanks for helping..:grin:

Type in google finding wireless networks in windows with google. Its the first link i think on microsoft.

Another thing for your to do - Disable the problematic Wireless Network Adapter's power saving mode from Device Manager, locate the Network Adapter=> Properties=> Power Management Tab, in here you may disable any Power Save mode options by unchecking them off.

Re: Trouble picking up my network

It seems to be working now just from removing the old profiles and creating a new one, if it happens again I will just repeat that.

Thank you
