Problem (for Laptops only): Wireless broadband was working perfectly but suddenly stopped - and now you have only a message "not connected - no connections are available". The network, router etc are all fine - your other computers and mobiles all connect without problem.

Solution 1: Unplug battery and turn on the laptop with direct power cord. (In this case, you will quickly know that the issue is due to power/battery. You may try out solution # 2 as well if you want to keep using existing battery)

Solution 2:

Go to Control Panel
Click on Device Manager
In device manager, expand Network Adapters
Double click on your wireless adapter
Go to the tab Power Management
Uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power", if that is enabled
Restart your laptop

Possible Reason: This happened to me cause the battery had issue with charging and the computer decided to turn off the device thinking it could save power.
