So, I'm having an issue with my laptop that I'm out of ideas with.

It's a Samsung laptop with a basic wireless adapter and integrated wired LAN port. It runs Windows 7 64-bit.

I've never had problems with the laptop connecting to my local network before. However, I tried bridging the wireless and wired devices so that way I could use my laptop to bridge my Xbox to my network wirelessly. Not only did it not work, but now both adapters fail to connect to the network.

I of course removed them from the bridge and deleted the bridge. When that didn't work, I tried manually going into the adapters to ensure that everything was set back the way it was(IP set up automatically instead of static). When that didn't work, I uninstalled the devices and let the computer re-detect them, and installed the drivers for the system. None of this has fixed the problem. There is not an issue with any of my network devices(modem, router).

Usually I'm able to figure these things out, but I'm at a complete loss, and I didn't have much luck finding a solution online. Does anyone have any ideas on some things I can try? Please and thank you.
 


Did you by chance turn off the wifi switch on the laptop? More info on laptop model would be useful.

It's a Samsung RV511.

I checked to make sure that the switch(which is activated by pressing the Fn key and then another key) was not switched off. All devices are enabled.
 


Do the ethernet and/or the wireless show up correctly in your devices tab in device manager? No yellow triangles, etc?
