I've had it for about 4 years now and up until about 4 months ago it could not detect any wireless networks, at all. I know that they are there because I can find them with my iPod. My house has wireless and it used to connect automatically. I know it isn't our modem because my iPod connects fine so it has to be the laptop. I read online that there are a lot of issues with HP and this is one of them but I searched and searched and still no results. Could anyone who knows please help me with this issue? I really need my laptop. Also, I have tried using the Ethernet cable from the modem itself, and still no luck. It works fine for our desktop computer though...Please someone help.
