See if the wireless router's light for Internet connectivity is on. Double click your network connection icon, right bottom on task bar. Click the tab support. See what your ip address is. Your ip must be configured by Manually DHCP. It's a function from your wireless router that has to assign the IP address. If it is not assigned by DHCP then you probably has a static ip addres specified on your laptop from being on a network at work or something like that. Now, if so, you have to go to your network connections properties. Click on network icon, choose properties, scroll down to Internet protocol - TCP/IP, set the tab to Automatically assign an IP address. Then it ought to work. If you still use a static IP address at work then you need to fill in the IP address, Subnet, and Default gateway in the network properties, Internet protocol - TCP/IP, alternate configuration. Then it will use the DHCP ip on your wireless and the static ip on a hardwire network. Hope it helps.

There probably a few matters flawed. Make certain that your wirless IP settings are set for DHCP, and no longer a static IP cope with. Or, you may also ought to improve your internet browser (i.e., Internet Explorer), do Windows updates, and ensure you will have the entire ultra-modern plug-ins (i.e., Java, Flash participant, Shockwave, and so forth.). When used to be the final time you probably did any of those? You would additionally check out putting in an additional browser (you probably have IE, check out FireFox), to ensure that you just honestly do have an web connection. It'll aid assess whether or not or no longer there is some thing flawed along with your present browser.

Is the signal from the router encrypted? Your wireless card must match the encyption key of the router. Also, for initial connections, disable your firewall to rule that out. check the wireless networking forum at dslreports.com for tips and techniques.
