I suggest going into Norton and making sure that none of your Norton
settings are preventing your wireless from working. Possibly disable Norton
till the wireless is working and enabling it afterwards will resolve the
issue.

Apologies for not mentioning before, I have "very good" signal
strength. I think the problem has to do with Norton Antivirus. I
installed it the same day, that this problem starting occuring.
I read in one of the previous links that they fixed the issue by
uninstalling Norton (Symantec, now?), but that is the only virus
protection I have?
Any suggestions on how to proceed?
