Well about two weeks ago my wireless internet suddenly stopped working on my laptop. I thought it may have been due to viruses so I did a full factory reset. I wiped my hdd, reinstalled windows 7 and reinstalled all my drivers. The problem is still there. My computer will connect to the wifi and say that there is no problems, but the internet will not work. I can only get online if I plug my laptop in with an ethernet cable. Not a router issue as I'm the only one in my house having this problem. I'm running an ASUS laptop model K53E and windows 7 Ultimate.

I'm really stuck here...please help
 
Solution
While there are many possible issues and solutions, I usually try just changing the wireless adapter MAC address with THIS free tool first, since it is a quick first step.
