  I would recommend that you follow these steps and check if the problem persists.

  Step 1:

  Start your computer in safe mode.

  A message in the small window that says connected wireless does not mean that you really have a valid functional connection.

  Above everything is OK, you must be able to connect to the wireless router. (WIFI hotspot).

  Linking the means of router you can enter the IP base of the router in an address bar in one go, being able to connect, see and configure the router menus (extended to the wireless router manual should explain how to do).

  If it will not connect to your wireless router, journal newspaper from any computer that can connect to the router wirelessly with a wire, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless SSID broadcast is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

  Enable security wireless after you eat to make a functional connection.

  Firewall software can block traffic Local to the network that you are trying to use because it is not set to the network Zone Trust.

  Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

  Some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible set up the firewall correctly, otherwise totally uninstall and get rid of its remaining processes that permit the own local network traffic flow.

  If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  party like Hello and NetMagic 3rd network managers can block local traffic too.

  Right-click on the wireless network connection card, select status, details and see if she got an IP address and the rest of the settings.
