My wireless was working fine this morning. I checked email and then took the kids to school. When I got back, the wireless icon in the lower right corner of the screen says "no wireless connections found in range" ?? They were there 10 minutes ago! I have rebooted everything I can think of. I can connect via a cable so it's not the internet connection. Is it the router or the computer?

The router may have been reset by a power surge. Some models default to wireless OFF -- so connect by ethernet cable and look at the wireless settings.

Back at the computer -- if it's a laptop make sure you haven't nudged the wireless switch.

On both laptop and desktop check Control Panel, System, Hardware, Device Manager to see if the wireless adapter is present and no yellow flag.
