I have a strange situation happening. I have a wireless router broadcasting the signal throughout my house and it works for both my personal and work laptops.
All of a sudden last night, my personal laptop shows no wireless networks available, but the work laptop still works fine.
I have no idea why the personal laptop dropped out. Any ideas on a remedy?

Hmm...could be a variety of things but here are some to try.
Make sure you wireless is enabled using Fn+F2 key.
Go into your wireless settings and move that network to the top of the list.
Restart Windows.....might sound simple but it solves ALOT of problems.
Its hard to tell exactly what it might be without some more info. What did you do with your laptop prior it to the wireless network not showing up?

Off the top I can tell you my experience. I have 4 working PCs, one of which is a laptop. The PC directly connected to the cable works instantly.
When I use the laptop on the table, the connection changes with the direction the laptop faces.
The PC upstairs and around the corner has a "low" connection. It has cut out several times.
Therefore, it may be that your problem has to do with the proximity to the connection.

Why not try the obvious? Shut down your personal laptop, unplug your modem and router.
Wait 30 seconds and plug the modem back in. Wait until the lights stabilize (1 minute), then plug in the router. Again wait until the lights stabilize, then boot up your laptop.
If that doesn't help, tell us what else changed since you last sucessfully got online with your laptop.

all of the subnet mask are an analogous and are appropriate on your community. as quickly as you determine that ping the router from all computers and notice in the event that they are in a position to talk. in the event that they are in a position to verify your default gateway putting interior the router and on each computing gadget. The computers might desire to have the default gateway putting pointing in the direction of the router or the router's IP address. confirm you first set up that a under pressure out connection is attainable, then verify the PPPOE settings inclusive of your ISP (often your login and password are used) whether that's needed you will might desire to set your router to PPPOE and enter the login and password. as quickly as you are attempting this it is going to connect. as quickly as the router is hooked as much as the internet then chase down the relationship issues to the router from the different computing gadget. After this is all working turn your protection on one merchandise at a time and verify out it every time. each so often it is going to take a couple of minutes to reestablish a connection as quickly as you have made protection adjustments. while you're working 2 the two internet enjoying cards on your computing gadget and one is hooked as much as the modem for the internet and the different connects to the router you will might desire to bridge those 2 enjoying cards at the same time. observing the way you have it connected in case you probably did this you want a crossover cable to connect the router to the the two internet interior the computing gadget no longer a straight away by cable. it is what a hub does by reversing the Rx and Tx lines. or you have the transmit hooked

Could be a virus.
Could be a TCPIP setting. Have you used the laptop anywhere outside the house?
