Networking can be a tremendous pain, and almost every home that sets up a wireless internet connection will occasionally have problems with it, ranging from the slightly annoying to the downright frustrating. To fix Internet problems with a wireless connection, computer users rarely have to do more than reset a few devices, but it’s important to know how to do this to avoid time consuming Internet issues.
Resetting a modem is often the first step to fixing an Internet problem. Whether you need to fix an Internet connection that comes from a cable company, a satellite company, or a telephone company, they’ll usually tell you to turn off the modem, along with your wireless router. What many customer service gurus leave out is that both the modem and the wireless router need to be powered off for about two minutes. Once both have been unplugged, plug the modem in first, then wait a few minutes. Plug in the wireless router. This simple process will fix most Internet problems, as it resolves IP conflicts and other issues that plague home and office networks. Some wireless routers and modems also have a reset button that often needs to be pushed with a paperclip. This can be another way to accomplish a reset, but be aware that you’ll need to go through the router’s settings menu in order to fully fix Internet problems if you hit the reset. This is because the reset button often fully resets the router’s memory.
Always keep the instruction manual for your wireless router nearby to help you fix Internet problems, and if you’ve already lost it, search for another manual on the Internet and print it out. Remember, if your wireless router is having Internet problems, you’re not going to be able to cruise the net to find a manual, so keeping a copy in an easily accessible place is always a good idea.
With all router problems, the best tip is to be patient. In order to fix Internet issues, you may have to call your Internet company and the router manufacturer, but a bit of patience will help you fix the Internet quickly and knowledgeably.

Unplug Your Wireless Router?
If the Internet stops working in your house, you should start trying to fix the problem by unplugging the N wireless router and then plugging it back in again. This will force it to reconnect and reset. Often, this is enough to get it to work. You may also have to restart the modem. If these things do not work, then you can assume that there is a larger issue with the router or the provider.

Why Wireless Internet is not working when Ethernet LAN enable?
If your Wireless Internet is not working on your computer and your router (HUB) is connected to the internet, there are two possible causes for this dilemma. Either you cannot connect to your wireless network, or you are connected to your router(network) and your computers network settings are causing the problems. To Fix this, you can try resetting your router by unplugging the power and plugging it back in. Once you do this, it is best to also power down your cable modem for a minute or so to reset your IP (assuming it is static IP address). If you still cannot connect to the internet after your modem is reset, try reconnecting to your network and typing in the correct network key. If that does not do it, then try accessing your router via the internet browser and configure it to your needs. To access your router, instuctions should be in the products manuel. (eg. D-Link Routers are accessed by entering 192.168.0.1 in to the address bar). Once you enter in the routers firmware options, there should be a setup button and it's striaght forward from there.
