My new laptop which could connect to the Internet yesterday no longer can. When I turn it off an on again it connects for a short while and then turns off. When I try to reconnect it asks for the key again and tells me it 'cant connect to network'. All other devices are working.

I've tried 'forgetting' the network to reconnect but again no joy. I've done a virus can. Nothing.

6. Click on the available network that you want to access and select "connect".

7. It takes a moment, but then you will be asked to give a password for your Wi-Fi connection. Type in the password and click the "connect" button.
