Alright, well I got a new laptop at the end of last summer because I was leaving home for college, and everything worked fine. I brought it to college, and everything worked fine. After I came back from college, everything worked fine (for awhile), and all of a sudden my laptop stopped connecting to my house's wifi. Originally I thought that it might've been a problem with my laptop, but I went back to college and my laptop connects to the wifi there just fine. I then thought it might be a problem with our router, but the thing is my siblings' laptops connect to the wifi just fine. I tried resetting the router, turning my laptop off/on, but that's not solving the problem. My laptop recognizes that our network exists; it just won't connect to it when I try to. Do any of you have an idea of what might be the problem?

You could try removing your home network from Control Panel\Network and Internet\Manage Wireless Networks and then re-adding it manually.

Windows 7.

Also, when I reset the router and restart my laptop, it will reconnect to the wifi, but only long enough for me to get to my browser's homepage before it disconnects again. And as I stated before, it only happens with the network we have at home; at college/any location with a wifi network that I've tried it at, it works fine.
