Why won't my wireless internet connection work?
Author: admin // Category: internet connection wirelessI have just bought a new laptop and wireless starter kit. After installing the router, the internet connection will only work when the ethernet cable is connected between the router and the laptop. I have a wireless LAN switch on the laptop which is on. Why wont the wireless connection work without the ethernet cable. Do I need a wireless card or something? Any help would be appreciated as I have no idea what I'm doing! Thanks.
if its not connecting at all,reboot and go into you wireless settings. there should be an icon on your taskbar on the right of a computer with a red x. right click it and choose connect to wireless network. if your network isnt shown click the refresh button. if it still isnt shown you know the problem is with the wireless router. make sure youre settings on it allow wireless connections. then unplug both the modem and router for about a minute to let them reset. then plug them back in router first.

You need to ensure your laptop has wireless capabilities… You also need to ensure that wireless is configured for operation on your router. You may then want to consider some form of security. If your laptop has wireless, you should be able to perform a scan. In the System Tray, if yuo have a little screen icon, with three bars next to it, double click on it.
But if you have no idea what your doing, i suggest you ask someone you know who may be able to set it up for you

You need to configure the wireless settings for both the products like the IP(s), if u wana use DHCP or not, or you want to secure the network or not.
You can have a look at the manual of the router fot the config help and then u can use the settings on the laptop to connect to the router.
After you connect, you wil lbe able to use the INTERNET via WIFI
