laptop's network card broke, aparently

[Awkwardsaw]

so yeah, i'm unable to get onto the internet on my laptop. it says there are networks available, but when i try to connect to my home's router is says limited access :(. i know its my laptop, because my xbox, and mom's laptop still works fine. it also said so in the diagnostic scan :p

how much are network cards, should i replace it myself or have a profesional do it? i've had the laptop for a little more than 4 months.

also if it helps, it's a gateway

Check if your warranty is still valid first off.

Network and Sharing Center > Change Adaptor Settings
Disable your LAN connection. Should work, cant remember why it errors though. Some conflict that can come up sometimes

Time to upgrade to a new, better wireless card? ;)

E: also if you have a smart phone with 3g/4g internet, have you tried internet tethering?

Nah, you run the USB cable from your smart phone over to your computer and use your phones internet, with the droid I think there is a way to use it as a wireless router (cordless)

Have you got the settings to get the I.P automatically from your DHCP or have you got it manually set in?

Try to go to network adapters > Right click your adapter > properties > Scroll down and go to "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) > Click Properties > Change it so you get an I.P automatically and DNS automatically.

Then, after that right click your adapter and click "Repair". See it that works

call up gateway and complain.
they also make usb wireless adapters.
