Can it connect to a wifi anywhere else?
Did it ever work?
When did it stop and did you make any changes at that time.
Open Device Manager and see if the wifi device under Network Adapters is ok, no yellow or red marks.

Click on Start then Run or press Window key (next to left Ctrl key) +R and paste the following into the Run box, exactly as shown, including double quotes:

cmd /c "ipconfig /all > postme.txt & ping yahoo.com >> postme.txt & notepad postme.txt & del postme.txt"

and press ENTER.

A file will open in Notepad. Please copy and paste the contents here. Close the Notepad window and the file will be deleted and the Command Prompt window will also close.

If you don't have a Run selection off the Start menu, see here: Enable Run Command on Windows 7 or Vista Start Menu, or How to access the 'Run' box in Windows® 8.1 - YouTube or just press Windows Key (next to the left Ctrl key) + R, or open the Modern desktop, type run then click on Run that appears.

Is the adapter on? Most laptops have a button to physically turn them on and off.

Can you post a screen shot of the device manager showing you wifi adapter?

That's 1 out of 4. What about the other 3?
