Can't Connect to My Apparent Hidden Network (Wi-Fi)

So when I try to connect to my wireless internet Windows tells me "Can't Connect to this Network".
I have also tried to troubleshoot and this tells me that the network is hidden, when other PC/Laptops in the house can connect as well as phone and multiple other devices being able to connect.
So I need to know how to reset this driver, or any other way to fix this, although I can connect, as I am now, via Ethernet.


Other Info!
My wireless adapter is the intel centrino wireless-n 2200
Laptop Lenovo Y580
Sky router
If there is any other details you need let me know, sorry if I don't reply instantly, this laptop is my main internet access.
Thanks!

Unplug the router and plug it back in. You can open a Command Window and enter: netsh wlan show all

That command will show all available Access Points that your wifi card can pick up and what channel they are on, along with signal strength.

This did tell me what you said it would tell me, although I still can't connect to my WiFi.
Thanks any help would be great.

You need to first run the command I posted and then post the results of it on here. If you have hidden the SSID, unhide it in the Wifi settings for the router/gateway.
