Hello tech experts,
Read on the forums first and tried a few of the fixes, didn't see anything that worked so I'm posting here.
Running a custom built desktop PC with Windows 7. Intel i5-3570K @3.4 GHz. 8 GB Ram. 64 bit Windows. Asus pce-n15 wireless card. Netgear N600 WiFi Cable Modem Router Model C3700.
Okay so this wireless network had been giving me no trouble before I left for vacation and once I came home the wireless card was having trouble identifying the network but after a long period of time with many tries it would eventually connect by what felt like luck. Today however, it was unable to connect at all so I attempted the standard unplug, plug back in of the router to no avail. I have since tried some of the command prompt fixes with no results. I've tried forgetting the network, reinstalling the wireless card driver, removing and readding the card in device manager, restoring my computer to day 1, and ritualistic sacrifice, but still with no results. My computer recognizes the network and names it with excellent connectivity. But is stuck on identifying network and will no grant me internet access. There is also a new and strange "Unnamed Network" listed in my wireless networks with strong connectivity.
Not sure if this helps but when we set up the wireless router, there was a 3G and 5G network broadcasted by the router that's now gone and I just have my standard 1 wireless network and this "unnamed network".
Here are the windows troubleshoot details:
