How can I connect my laptop to a wireless router?

There are two ways to connect your laptop to a router, wired and wireless. If your laptop is fairly new, it will likely support both types of connections. The easiest way to connect your laptop is wired. If your router is in the same room as your laptop, or if your router doesn't have wireless functionality, then you should wire it. Just get a standard ethernet cable, with the length depending on how far you have to connect it. However, if you want to be able to walk around your house or even go outside without cables holding you back, set up a wireless connection, if your laptop and router support it. You have to use network connections to connect to an available network, which you will have to set up using software that comes with your router. Once you are connected, you can go anywhere and receive internet as long as you are still in range of your router. Getting a more powerful router will increase your range.


Your Laptop is not connecting to Router what do you do?

Any problem like this should be approached by testing step by step, so:Can other laptops connect to the router? If not then, it may be the router or the connection to the ISP.Can you connect with a network cable? If that works, then there is a problem with the WiFi - the configuration may be wrong, the connection may be too weak, it may be turned off in the laptop or the router. It may actually be broken in the laptop or router.
