My laptop will not connect to wifi and the wifi bars have a red cross on it?! help

it could be your wifi card, you can check it in device manager. you can use a usb wifi dongle in the meantime.

If you have a laptop you may need to check your wifi cards antenna connection, Or you may need to replace the wifi card or get a USB wifi card they are relatively cheap.

That indicates your wifi is on but not active, pull out your owners manual to make sure you did not overlook something, right click on the wifi icon, what do you see? The WEP key is assigned by your internet provider so long as you clicked on the right one you should be connected. If you still have problems contact your provider and have them give step by step instructions.

first you have to be in a wire less hot spot starbucks library etc then you click the wifi icon on desktop then click it to power off (trust me i own one)you will see a wifi icon appear in task bar if it has no red bars next to the icon your on if it does double click the wireless icon in task bar and click wireless connections and click on the ones that are available to you if they ask for a network password you will need it ask who you are trying to connect to (also go to digi gadgets.com they have a free download update for the wireless system good luck

On the right bottom corner of your screen, you should see a message/icon about wireless networks.

Select the icon and you should see a list of wireless networks. Select your network, add your password (if you set up a password) and you should be connected.

Open your browser.

Hope this helps.

Hello
You might have physically switched on the adapter, but in Windows it is still disabled.

In Windows XP, click the start button, look for CONNECT TO (don't go in the all programs menu), and click SHOW all connections. A window opens showing all the connections available. If the wireless connection icon displays a red X crossing it, it is disabled.

To reenable it,

Point the mouse cursor to the wireless connection and right click mouse button. Click enable or repair.

One question though. If your computer is toshiba, you must have installed the configFree software that came with it.

If so, look to the left right of the task bar and click the ConfigFree Icon. Choose Connectivity doctor. It will diagnose your connections. If one is disabled or has a problem, a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark ! will appear on the connection.

Use the device setting thumbnail, select your WIFI adapter . A button at the right bottom side, will show either Enable (if your adapter is disabled), or disable i(f adapter is enabled). With that button, you can toggle between enable and disable. After that click the close button, and hopefully you will be able to surf the web.


Hope it helps

Your wireless card is not picking up your wireless router, the fault could be that your wireless card did not get a IP address from the router and therefore won't allow the laptop to get into the Internet. Two things to try, if the wireless icon is on the task bar with a red X on the icon then right click on the icon and click on Repair (this will force the wireless router to issue the wireless card with a new IP address). If you don't have an Icon then go to Control Panel - Network Connections and right click on the wireless connection and then click Repair. If this dosen't work then power off your wireless router wait for 30 secs. then power up the wireless router and the reboot your laptop. Get back to me if you still have problems with all error messages.

You can tell iPhone is connected to the Internet over a cellular data network if you see , or in the status bar at the top of the screen.

Do you have problems connecting to any other wireless network with your iPhone?

Have you tried using the forget this network option on your iPhone for your wireless network followed by trying to connect to the network again, and/or using the reset network settings option on your iPhone which erases all previously saved wi-fi connections that you have successfully connected to with your iPhone?
