Internet won't connect to laptop but wireless will to ipad?

Hi. We have a dlink wireless adsl router connected via cable to our asus laptop and we connect our ipad in via wireless. When we turn our computer on it will not connect to the Internet but our ipad will still login. If I open the network info on the laptop it says it is connected via wireless network connection but we can't open the Internet? It worked perfectly until yesterday and to my knowledge we've changed nothing. We have tried restarting, disconnecting router and reconnecting and different cables. Any ideas?

"It is likely a driver issue. If your network adapter has the incorrect driver or doesn't have one installed then you will not have internet access. You can use the device manager in the control panel settings. It will show you what driver is installed and if the device has any conflicts or if it is running smoothy. Your laptop likely has two network adapters. One for wireless and one for the wired. So device manager will help you see if they are working properly. To access the device manager go to the control panel menu and then hardware and sound then device manager. In device manager locate your network adapters and click on them to see all the driver info, ect. I've had this happen before and I noticed my driver was missing(not sure why?). I downloaded the driver, installed it and my internet was able to connect.

If you need a driver go to the Asus website and find the driver downloads section for your particular model. Download and install the correct drivers if needed. Hope this helps."

"For driver download and install, I'd like to recommend a driver finder and updater tool that is powerful and functional to find outdated and missing driver and then install the drivers with one click.

Plus, the tool is totally free and safe, so I recommend."

When I click on both adapters, both were said to be working properly. So, what now?
