Recently got a new modem. It connects to everything in the house except my laptop. It runs windows 8. The new network does not show up to select it to connect to. Restarted computer, restarted modem and router. Did a hard reset on modem. Nothing works.

Your machine also has slow wired LAN : Integrated 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet LAN
