I installed a program and somehow lost the ability to access the internet through my wireless router. I did a system restore from a day before and the wireless drivers came back. But then the next day when I started my computer they were gone again. Is there any way I can make this change permanent? I've never dealt with this kind of problem before. |

Is there any way to get them back? |

just an update. I reinstalled my Linksys router on my computer so now I can get online when I'm plugged into the router but If I disconnect the wire I lose connection. I try to go into my connection tab on internet option and it only gives me an option for Broadband and Dialup but no wireless. How can that happen. when I click on help it tells me to click on wireless if that's what I want but it's just no there. How do I get that back? |
