I have a Lenovo G50 laptop, which since some days, cannot connect wirelessly any more. CPU: Intel Core i3-4005U CPU @ 1.70GHz, I run Win7 32bit 4GB RAM. I am using a BBox 3 modem, Modus 802 11b/g/n, provided by Belgacom, Proximus, my internet provider.
Noteworthy is that my wife’s PC has no problem connecting wirelessly. So I suspect it must be my wireless adapter. When I run SPECCY I get info about what’s what in my laptop. I get the following info for the wireless adapter:
Qualcomm Atheros AR956x Wireless Network Adapter
Connection-specific DNS Suffix lan
Connection Name Wireless Network Connection
DHCP enabled Yes
MAC Address 5C-93-A2-EA-E1-D1
Of course the adapter may be physically damaged, but I thought maybe it’s the driver. So I went to:

and then I got confused. Which driver to choose. Can you help me ? Thanks in advance.

You can download the driver for your device here, just filter by
Component = Network wireless LAN
Operating System = Windows 7 32 bit

not sure exactly how to enable/disable the wireless on your laptop, but you should have a F key are the top that has a wireless symbol on it, if you press the FN key and the wireless key at the same time it should toggle the wireless on or off.
You can also check your BIOS to ensure that the wireless LAN has not been turned off (if the option is there)
You can also go into control panel, network and sharing and check that the wireless lan is not disabled.
