Wireless will not work constantly disconnecting. Never have more than 1 bar. I have updated the wireless adapter driver to latest and checked router as well. I also brought laptop to other locations to test. Still not functioning. All other devices laptops, phones and ipads work fine. I decided to replace the wifi card and installed the most up to date drivers. Still getting one bar and will not stay connected. Again tried multiple locations. Ended up having to use a usb wifi stick which works fine with full bars. What else can be causing internal cards to not work?

Try this....

First, make sure your laptop is 'not' connected to the modem/router via an Ethernet cable and follow the steps:

1. Go to "Control Panel".

2. Next go to "Network and Internet" and then "Network and Sharing".

3. Now click on "Manage Wireless Networks".

4. On this screen, remove all wireless connections by "right clicking" on it and select "Remove network" from the drop down menu.

5. After doing this, close the oepn windows and reboot the computer.

6. Once the computer is fully reloaded, scan for the "Wi-Fi networks".

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

8. 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.

It should now be connected.

NOTE: If this doesn't work, you may want to reset your modem/router, and then once it is fully loaded again, repeat the above steps.

If this doesn't work, test seeing if your laptop will connect via Ethernet. If so, then your WiFi card may be going. You can either look to replace it/have it replaced, or get an external (plugs in via USB) WiFi card.
