I have a problem with my notebook, I can't connect to a WiFi network from my notebook.

It finds all the wireless networks around but it is unable to connect to anyone. I've tried deleting the password of the network and trying to connect without password but it didn't work either. I know that my WiFi network is working because I can connect to it from my smartphone. I also tried pinging 127.0.0.1 and I received the reply. I don't know what to do to make it works, is there something wrong with my network card? I also tried it on Linux and faced the same problem.

What happens when you try to connect? Do you get an error message? If so, what is it? – David Schwartz Jan 12 at 2:31
Was it working before and suddenly stopped working? – CharlieRB Jan 12 at 3:13
I don't get an error message, it only say: please wait while windows connects to the network... and in about 30 seconds the message disappears and nothing happens. – cracq Jan 12 at 3:19
Not suddenly... One day I turned on the computer and it didn't connect – cracq Jan 12 at 3:23
When you say 'connect', do you mean connect to the network itself, or in regard to internet access? FYI: Pinging 127.0.01 should work in most cases because that is an address for your computer (localhost). – iglvzx Jan 12 at 4:18

Have you try connecting to non encrypted network? Have you try using an external wifi adapter?

yes, I've tried connecting to non encrypted network and I haven't used a external wifi adapter – cracq Jan 14 at 18:40
If you can't get your hand on external wifi adapter then you can try uninstalling your wifi adapter in Device Manager. Then reinstall it again with the latest driver. – chmod Jan 16 at 1:50
