I'm not sure you need to go to that extent. Probably just some of your settings arent configured correctly. I'd say just to lookup documentation that came with your laptop on wireless networking, test it in a free wifi zone eg, starbucks, some hotel lobbys, etc to see if its working there and if still not working at home lookup the netopia manual.
But if you feel you need to do a clean install to get rid of other bugs go ahead and see if that helps but personally I think its just incorrect settings.
Best of luck. |
