Answer 2

Ok, assuming you were a client of mine, and I was sitting down in front of your computer, here's what I would check and in this order: 1. Bypass the wi-fi router. Plug the cable directly from the modem into the back of the computer. Connected to the Internet? Proceed to step 2. If not, reboot the modem, or else contact your ISP to find out why your Internet is down. 2. Plug the ethernet cable from the back of the modem to the Internet port on the back of the wi-fi router. 3. Plug the ethernet cable from your computer into an available port, any of the numbered ports, in the back of the router. Make sure the other end is plugged nice & secure into the back of your pc. 4. Try to get connected to the Internet. If you can open IE just fine, surf just fine, then you can put in the ip addy of the router and have the html interface page open up and you can configure your router (I strongly recommend encrypting your network to keep out prying eyes). If you can't connect to the Internet, unplug your router, give it about 5 seconds, then plug it back in. Since you're still connecting through the Ethernet cable, you should have an Internet connection still 5. Configure the wi-fi settings in the router. Set the SSID (name of the network), encryption level, etc. I highly advise you either print out the settings or write it down. 6. Follow the links to reboot your router. Once it reboots, unplug the ethernet cable from your computer to the wi-fi router. 7. Configure your computer's wi-fi adapter to match the settings you specified in the wi-fi router setup. You should be connected! Good luck!

Just double check the procedure you have done with the actual quick guide if some thing is missing you might have to reset the router.

The other computer / Laptop which you need to connect wirelessely r u using windows network utility software or they have their own some times there is a software which comes with the wireless adaptor and that actually disables the windows wireless detection tool to check if there are any other applications running for wireless connection

Answer 4

Have a look here: http://kbserver.netgear.com/ and see if: "No internet access through router" provides an answer. What model is your netgear? Did it come with a user-guide?

Answer 5

You need to configure the router.If have done so and your still having the same problem,i would suggest you undo the configuration and re-configure the router
