There are many reasons. One of them is you are trying to connect to secured network without knowing the pass phrase. Also your network adapter might not be compatible with the network. Another thing is that you mac address can be on the black list of blocked mac addresses. It's possible that the router which you are trying to connect to is using so called white list and your mac is not on that list.

∙ 14y agoMake sure that your router does have access to internet. You can ping for instance Google from directly from google. If it does not work, your router does not have internet. If you get response from google, it's easier. The shortest way is just write down setting for your ISP and reset to default setting your router. If you do not want to that, check security setting, make sure that mac filter is off, check setting for DHCP settings. Also it's a good idea to check your router itself. That it actually does work with wireless adapter. The best way to do that, it's to connect to computers to the router and try to transfer a file.

Your laptop doesn't have a wireless card!
The switch for wirless is 'off' (or the Fn key needs pressing).
The driver is disabled.
The driver for the wireless card is not up to date.
If using Windows XP, make sure SP3 is installed.

Do you have the instruction manual for the router? It will tell you the system requirements for connection.

What do you do when you can connect to the access point but not the internet with a linksys wireless internet adapter?
Check to make sure the router is connected to the internet. I had a problem like this once. Make sure you put in the correct wireless key. It will still say that it can connect to the router but you wont really be connected to it.
How can I hook up a wireless broadband internet in my home?
An internet connection from an ISP. And a router. A very popular router is the Linksys WRT54G. It takes all of 5 minutes to set-up and in a few months if your router breaks (not that they do, their usually reliable but hey), so when it goes down and you are back to a wire for a few hours you will feel so crippled you wont believe it.

How two network 10 comp with internet using switch?
If you are running a modem that has an Ethernet port, plug the Ethernet port into the switch, along with all the computers. Actually you may want to get a "Router" for the extra "Hardware" Firewall and in case you get a wireless Printer, etc, make it a "wireless" Router. Most Wireless Routers come with a 4 port Lan also. They're coming out with Gigabit Routers (Lan ports) now so you won't lose your "local" Lan speed, IF you need it. (it wont make the internet faster) DSL/Cable modem------Router-------switch------computers, printers, etc. -------(wireless part of Router----wireless Printer, wireless computers, etc.)
Why won't my internet work when i just hooked up a linksys wireless router?
If the internet connection going to your router is connected to a modem then you mght want to turn it off. The modem will have the MAC for your PC stored in it and when you plug in the router it sees its a different MAC and it wont work. Switch the modem off, take a break and then power it on again. When you leave it off for a while it looses all its data, including the MAC address and the next time its powered on it checks for the MAC and finds your router and then it will work. Hopefully.
What does my wireless for your laptop wont work on your password protected router you put the password in but it wont work its works on other routers that use passwords?
You need to make sure that your wireless adapter supports the security. Check if the network requires WPA2, if does and you cannot connect to it, it means your adapter can't work with and the router has to configured to work with first generation of WPA.

I recently switched to at and t uverse it wont allow my dslite to connect to WiFi with the new modem and router does anybody know how to make it work?
First thing to check is the encryption, a 'new' router would be using WPA encryption, but a DS Lite only supports WEP. You'd have to log into the router's settings and change it.
You have a desktop with broadband internet bought a PS3 and router so you can use it online and your PS3 wont let you connect?
The internet connection needs to be made before the connection to the computer the router goes between the broadband and the computer. Try a wired connection with a purchase of an ethernet cable that goes from the back of the PS3 to the router or modem. A wired connection works best with the PS3 so that it doesn't have to maintain a wireless signal. Try using your connection without the router or computer and then adding them after your PS3 has already been connected. Just plug an Ethernet cable into the back of the modem and the Back of the PS3. After that works add the router between the modem and the PS3 and finally plug in the PC into the back of the router. You really don't have to do it this way but it will allow you to gain confidence that the problem was never with the PS3 and just your setting up of the connection.
