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.
 
Hi,

Your router drivers uninstalled as a result of installing this new
prog.

They came back with system restore.

They were gone again when you restarted.

Sounds like this new prog. is causing the problem when it , or your pc
restarts.

Uninstall it. Then system restore ( to a point before you installed
the new program) and check your wifi drivers are installed.

If , when you restart , the wifi drivers are still there - this new
program was causing the problem.

Hope that helps

I did delete the yesterday, but I still had to do the system restore
this morning, but now when I do the system restore the wifi drivers
are still gone. 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?
 
You may need to set up your wireless connection again.

Unplug from the router - keep it switched on.

Click Start>Control Panel>Network and Internet>Network and Sharing
Center.

On the left, click Set up a Connection or Network>Connect to the
Internet>Next.

Choose your wireless network (you may need to input your password -if
it is a secured network if so, use the same one you had before ) click
Connect.

Hope this helps
