Laptop not connect to router
8 Answers
Hey there.
Well, I have an Dell Inspirion 2200, with Wireless inbuilt. I've had it about 2 years, never been wiped (yet). But about 6-8 months ago, i've noticed I can't connect or find my router (linksys).
I got my uncle round to see what he could do to fix this problem, he set up the router again, and when he went on my laptop he noticed an "Internet Connection" in the "Network Connections" He said that he's never seen that before, and that it shouldn't be running through a gateway.
He doesn't know how to fix it, or what would happen if he unistalled it or something.
Help Please.
Thanks for people who post.

If I try to connect with wireless to the router, its low. stays for less than 30 secs.
But if i connect the laptop to a wired connection using the ethernet cable, wireless will pick the router up straight away, with great signal.
And yes Cazzz. Im using Windows XP, and Yeah we have done a search.

sounds like you need to move your router or your laptop to a different area (much like an aerial) in order to pick up a better signal.
If you plug in a wired connection it will ignore the wireless connection. So if you are searching for your wireless connection dont have the wired plugged in to your laptop.
What series router do you own, (ie B, G or N) a better router makes the world of difference.

I'm not certain what you're saying - having gone 6 or more months without internet and just noteced??
anyhow - each adapter is nameable .... so "Internet Connection" isn't particularly odd it could just as easily be called anything - but if you think about it it's pretty accurate!
the gateway is the router ..... (ip address 192.168.0.1 - or similar?)
so again ... no problem
it's not likely to be anything with the router .... more like the wireless adapter - d/l drivers from the dell site (I know .... no internet!!!!!)
try connecting by wire
