Laptop can't connect to home network
I have an HP laptop with wireless. I usually connect to my parents' network. They have Cox Cable. I recently bought a roku and spent some time figuring out how to connect to the network from that and well....pretty sure I messed something up. The roku works though! :/ Now, however, I cannot connect to the network from my laptop. I can connect only when I am plugged into the router directly, not wirelessly. I CAN connect to other networks (unsecured neighborhood ones) but not mine. I know I have the password right and everything. When I try to connect without being wired it says that the network is unidentified and I have "limited connectivity" or something. I did ipconfig/all and this is what I got: Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6002] Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
