You need to have what they call a wireless capable Network card. With the wireless capable card and the software that goes with it, you can have the Wireless Internet access.\n\nYou need to find out which model of Wireless card you have. You can refer to the manual or call the laptop company to find out what model of card you have. You can go from there.\n\nHope this answer was helpful and please leave me a feedback.\nThanks,\n\nGuru

Some older laptop have a switch on its side, turn it on to use wireless.\nIf your wireless hardware on you laptop is not faulty, you should see more than 1 host showing unless you dont have a lot neighbour around\nOr check the following info and you have to know how to check them on your laptop too\nmake sure your laptop have the same setting with the router\n1. the channel\n2. the wep key \n3. the ssid \n4. the router is not filtering out other machine by MAC address, otherwise you have to get your wireless MAC address to add in the router setting\n5. use release button and renew button on router config. page to assign address.\nIf still no, use a cable instead of wireless link to access the router config page, check the above again, do necessary change.\nIf your laptop detects signal, go to start run type "cmd" ok, then in the black window type "ipconfig /release" enter, then "ipconfig /renew" enter you should get connected.

so the router is connected to your internet modem, your PC is wired to the router, and your notebook connects wirelessly?\n\nIf that it the case, it sounds like your wireless connection might not be working so good. Have you tried connecting your notebook by wire and see if the surfing is better?

It is because your computer is unable to get an IP address from the DHCP server, which is part of the router.\n\nI think you are in a home environment so here is the way; \ncheck your wireless router and try connecting it through ethernet cable. If the device seems to be fine then look for devices like microwaves, cordless phones and other devices which share the 2.4Ghz frequency range because they interfere in your wireless connection. If the device is not connecting even with the ethernet cable then try resetting your router.\n\nIf all fails, my friend, you need to maybe get it thouroughly checked by somebody who has knowledge.

You have to set-up a connection with the wireless internet you're trying to connect to, since each is different. Not sure how to do it since I don't know what computer you're running, but there should be Network settings somewhere where you have to create a new connnection. You'll probably have to find out a certain name/password depending on the network you're trying to connect to. Whereever you are there should be some help somewhere on how to do this.

If you believe that you have a "wireless connection"  most likely you do have a "wireless pc adapter" already built-in.\n\nTo verify, go to the command prompt:\nstart->run\ntype cmd and hit enter\nat the c:&#92; prompt type the following:\nipconfifg /all\nif you see anything there that says wireless\nyou are in business.

There should be an icon on the right bottom corner that has a bubble that pops up when it detects wireless internet. Apparently your computer has a built-in wireless card so it should pick up signal. It is probably turned off, you can turn it on by going to the bottom right corner and looking for the icon with the little signal bars (sort of like on ur cellphone). Right click it and see what the status is, you might be getting low connectivity that does not allow you to connect. If it's not on, turn it on (enable). Your internet should work, it might not the first couple of times you open internet explorer (or whatever browser you use), but it will. Try it out at a library, coffee shop, or any place that offers free wi-fi.\nHope this helps

Use a wireless router and use a wireless card in your PC. It will work.

Has this been happening ever since you set it up? Could be bad hardware. Check the manufacturer website for any firmware updates that could resolve the issue.\nhere's some research from google\nhttp://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=RNWK,RNWK:2005-50,RNWK:en&q=wireless+signal+keeps+dropping\nalso, where is the wireless access point located and how far are you from it? does this seem to happen even when you are in the same room as the WAP. If it does, then take your computer ( I assume that it's a laptop) to another location where you can connect wirelessly and see if the computer does the same thing. If it does, then reload/update drivers for the wireless card. You could also contact the manufacturer to see if this is a known issue (they wont disclose that it is a known issue and some times they won't post info on the customer support site, so just ask them to trouble shoot and determine the best course of action).

Go to www.cnet.com and type in the model number of your wireless card.  Many times you will be able to get the drivers there.  \n\nYou can also try going to the Netopia website and looking for their downloads section or support.\n\nGood luck!

G'day,\n\nUnfortunately you did not mention the brand and model of the laptop.\n\nTry these 3 steps:\n1. Check the network properties (Start-Settings-Control Panel - Network Connections).  Find your wireless network card icon, right-click and select Enable.  If you cannot find the wireless network card icon, it means that either the laptop does not supplied with one, or the driver is not installed (in this case, install the driver).\n2. If step 1 does not make it on, check your laptop casing.  It may have a switch to turn the connection on or off manually.  Switch it on.\n3. You need to check the laptop documentation.  Most laptops come with the network connection management software and this software may give you problems in enabling the wireless connection.\n\nHope this helps.  Good Luck!

Make sure that your IE or Netscape is configured properly with your connection settings - the Router & Wireless Card should have info on how to do this.\n\nIf you're certain that both the card & Router are configured properly, call your ISP - they can walk you through your settings and see if there are any changes that need to be made.

You said that your computer unable to connect internet so how you can See my opinion.\nThough Atfirst goto the add hardware wizard. If any net kit , or hardware disable than enable it.\nIf it doesnot work then goto Network connection Wizard.\nYou can find something will be wrong.Some Data will be missed.\nFilled it. your connection will enable . I hope so.Have a nice day.
