chk of you get the link light if not then contact the ISP if yes then shut down the system unpluged the modem from the system and remove th power cable from the modem and press the power button and hold it for 7 sec or reset the setting of modem by presssing the reset button and turn on the system without connection the modem to the cable once you see the the windows is loaded completly connect the modem and try it (leave the modem unplugged atleast for 3min) or try to run msconfig and disable the startup items and try it agian

Could be a variety of reasons.
Assuming you have not had it working before
Assuming the wifi is broadcasting it SSID
Assuming you have laptop connected by ethernet cable to hub:

Assuming you have XP:

Go to start/control panel/network connections/right click the wireless lan icon and select properties/select wireless connections and delete ALL previous entries.

With Vista go:start globe then

Control Panel\Network and Sharing\Manage Wireless Networks and delete all entries

Now:

press windows key and R
type cmd and enter
type ipconfig and enter
note lower set of figures ie 192.168.0.1
open browser and type in those figures and enter
should now open router firmware
When asked for log in use defaults of admin - admin or admin - password

navigate to wireless security and set encryption to WEP 64bit and create a simple encryption code - save settings

Change broadcast channel to 8

make sure wifi is set to open and not shared

Save all settings, allow hub to reboot and now see what happens
