I have tried almost everything on the internet(driver install/uninstall,remove/change SSN,router configuration,system format).I have even get it checked by HP service center guy just to make sure its not hardware issue, even he couldn't rectify.

Please note , i can connect all the other devices using same router.On Laptop it throws an error message as follows: "windows was unable to connect to .........."

Laptop : HP G3 250 OS: windows 7 Router : netgear n150 wireless adsl2+ modem router dgn1000 Broadband : Mtnl Mumbai

  • does the problem persist in safe mode? (To get into safe mode, press F12, F10, DEL, or another key repeatedly until you enter the boot menu.

USB dongle is possibly the best method, but before you do - Download the ubuntu ISO, place on CD/USB (Rufus is great for USB) and start the installer - Don't install, just see if ubuntu picks up your wifi card and can join your network - If it can then your laptop has a driver issue with the built in adapter - Then you are on your way to fixing the problem.

Last time I had this problem with a HP laptop it was a hardware problem in the laptop. I bought a USB WiFi dongle and the problem was solved. -- Just a thought of a possibility.

Thanks for your answers/suggestions.

After all the research on internet and on laptop, problem was with wifi/bluetooth card(Had to pay around 2000 INR for new card & installation charges). Please keep this also in mind if anyone ever come across such issue.
