C205 Internet/WIFI is on but won't connect to web.

So, my C205 was working fine yesterday. The computer is mainly used for playing video games and in the recent months had a RAM upgrade. Anyway, I was playing a game on it yesterday and after I stopped playing it, it usually causes my PC to slow down afterwards. So the typical solution for me is to reboot it and it'll be fine. Well. I rebooted it last night and it said the wifi wasn't connected to the internet but it was on.
Okay, that's weird.
I turn it off and go to bed. I wake up about 9 hours later and try it again. Wifi is on but the internet isn't connected. I tried it with local and local doesn't work either.
Tried resetting and disconnecting my router/modem, disabling and reinstall drivers, running a full virus scan (and discovering nothing) and even system restoring but it won't fix the problem.
The Lenovo PC is the only one in my household that has this problem. Every other device with internet and wifi seems to be working but the Lenovo. Is there anything I could do to fix it? The PC will be a year old two days from now. Also, this is the first time it's ever had this problem.
I'd really appreciate some help. Without the internet, the games installed on it will not work and I need this computer for school.

Hi Heosphoros,
Can you try updating by using ThinkVantage System Update? (my support site is not coming up right now, but I will post a link to the update software asap)
*edit* http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=migr-61432
I would try uninstalling the graphics driver and reinstalling it if that update doesn't help.

Anyone know why my wifi sees 5G but won't connect?

I have an Air Port Extreme router, the new tall one. Full 2.4/5ghz Dual-Band. Of course all my Apple devices will connect and activate 5G and I see between 800mbps to 1200mbps connection speeds. However I've tried THREE different brands of Wifi AC Dual-Band devices for my Windows gaming rig and while ALL will see both the 2.4G and 5G router wifi connections, any attempt to connect to the 5G will just see it ignored and it connects to the 2.4G. Signal quality for both is 100%.
I even have the 5G set to 40mhz (channels 48-187) and it won't work. If I set up the router to split the 2.4G and 5G as two access points, the 5G won't even show up for my Windows box.
Has anyone run in to this? Is Apple up to shenanigans or am I not understanding how this works? For now my rig is on 2.4G and seeing 144mbps instead of the 800mbps I am seeing on my Apple's 5G connections.
Thanks for any help.

Are you using SMB compatible names, ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Obviously a different name for 2.4ghz and 5ghz.
Try removing the security.. just for a test. If it won't connect with name correct and no security then there is something wrong in the computer.. but each wireless device should have a different driver.. if not make sure you download the latest driver for it.
Put the wireless security back as soon as you finish testing of course.

We use an Airport Extreme in my office, which works fine for me. Occasionally we need to have more than one computer running on it, but for some reason it won't connect to the internet. It says we have internet, but won't connect to wifi. What's going on?

I use my computer everyday in our office and have no issue connecting to the internet/wifi, but when my boss comes in and tries to connect it doesn't work. It tells her she has internet, but won't connect to the wifi. We've tried a few different tactics(the basic ones I've seen on here), but nothing seems to be working for us. My computer automatically connects to our wifi.
Just recently the Airport Extreme has started with the blinking amber colored light on the front, which I believe means something is wrong? Can anyone help us figure out what's going on and why we can't get my boss' computer to connect as it should?
Thank you!

Here's an update:
Now the light is not blinking. It's a solid, consistant green. I don't know if it helps to narrow it down or anything, but I just figured I'd mention it.

My hotspot won't connect my computer to the internet since I upgraded my phone to ios7. The PC sees the hotspot but won't connect. The op sys on the PC is windows 7 ultimate. Can anyone help?

Glad to hear it is all straightened out. You are right about the upgrade cost. That is one reason why Adobe switched to monthly licensing—no more upgrade cost <g, r, & d>. Of course we do have nearly monthly product upgrades. It is almost like playing whack a mole.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

We want to bring back the control over your data access, LeRoyN! Thanks to rcschnoor for offering this support. Also may I ask what type of error messages are you seeing when attempting the connection? Have you been able to connect to these same networks in the past?

Just got new ipad2 and can't connect to internet...recognizes wifi network but won't connect

just got a new ipad2...recognizes wifi network at home, but can't connect to internet...help???

I just had a similar problem. Both the ipad 1 and ipad 2 in my household quit connecting to the network even though it seemed to recognize it. if you think it is recognizing your network, just not connecting, check to see if bluetooth is turned on. i had to turn bluetooth off and then manually enter the DNS number.
My solution also came after I re-started my network and reset all the settings on the ipad2. The DNS number then showed along with IP submet Mask and router. I used that dns number to enter into ipad1 after turning bluetooth off on it.
Totally unscientific fix that may have been more coincidental than correct but you might try it. BTW--no idea how bluetooth even got turned on to begin with.

Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power to it for 30 seconds.

Connected to wireless network in home, but won't connect to internet....

I have a Linksys WRT54GS wireless router. We have (1)PC hardwired to the router with (1) laptop PC & (1) iBook G4 connected wirelessly. All was working fine.
Wife opens iBook in the morning and it won't connect to the internet. Airport bars are full and says it's connected to my network, but that we are not connected to the internet. It won't even connect if it's hardwired directly to the router. I've tried reconfiguring, resetting, etc. and nothing works. But the PC's are working fine.
I admit that this is my first iBook so be gentle with the comments and my limited knowledge.
Thank you in advanced for the help!
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

same problem - the ibook was connected and doing just fine wirelessly to the actiontec router - had been for months - then I accepted the recent updates (using the wireless connection which was working flawlessly) and immediately upon rebooting afterwards - bam - no more wireless connection.
airport shows 5 bars strong connection and name of network is still checked in the list - but nothing will actually connect.
the pcs in the house are still connecting just fine wirelessly so the problem is not the router.
the ibook will connect using ethernet cord (that is how I am typing this now) but cannot get a wireless connection going.
somebody - PLEASE - what is the secret to fixing this?

This website says to turn your airplane mode off and then on then reboot your iPad.
I did this and it works, however I do lose the connection again later.
So while it's not a permanent solution it might get you started again.

Forgot password.Tried to wipe by using Find my iPhone but won't connect to wifi even though it is turned on in the lock screen.Then tried to restore through iTunes but couldn't because Find my iPad on. Removed the iPad but iTunes still not working. Help!

My daughter stopped using her iPad when she got an iPhone for Christmas. It has been over one month and she has forgotten her passcode. I tried to wipe it via Find my iPhone but it won't connect to the wifi even though wifi is switched on on the lock screen. I then tried to restore it through iTunes but was unable to becuase Find my iPhine was switched on so I removed the iPad from the device list only to find that it didn't solve anything with the iTunes situation and it still won't connect to the wifi. I ahve tried turning wifi on and off, tried leaving the house and re-entering all to no avail. Is there any other way to restore the iPad????

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTune (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTune and plug (very important)
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTune has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTune.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note: Data will be lost
