Hi. I have just formatted the hardrive on my computer and installed everything again. after installing the Wireless i cant find my own wireless network. i have another laptop witch are connected to the internett with wireless, so i know that my router or the internett modem is not the problem. i cant find anything wrong with the setup either.Wireless is enabled.("this device is working properly") can it be a switch on the laptop? where is it? have i installed the proper driver?

Hi. make sure that you installed the drivers for your wireless network card since computer is newly formatted. Double checked the wireless switch also if it is switched to ON position. You can also press Fn + F5 key to disable/enable wireless adapter.

1. I assume that you mean you cannot see your wireless network in the "Available Networks" list?
2. Yes, there will be a switch on the laptop to enable/disable wireless.
3. Is your router set to broadcast SSID? If it isn't then you won't see it in the list of available networks.

The problem tat u r facing is tat after the format the drivers of your wireless card is missing.u need to know the name and the brand of the wireless card u r using,,and install the drivers again,,u might have a cd called resource cd from ur computer manufacturer,,that contains the drivers,,or u can call up tec suppoort of your manufacturer to know the name of the wireless card and how to download the drivers from the net,,best of luckk,a good rating plz

check whether wireless drivers are installed.
check wireless is enabled.
check in network connections whether u can c wirelass lan connection.

i cant tell you too much because i dnt know too much about your situation but try completely resseting everything and try sending something again
if its allwireless c if you can pick up the wireless points if you cant there's your problem

ok, the problem is that your wireless adapter of your notebook has not been installed yet. locate the cd that comes with your notebook and install the wireless adapter.

re-install your driver either if problem will not solved then format your p.c. and again install properly the drivers and check the valid i.p. address

the wireless switch is a button on the front of the casing, which is in the form of a push button which lights up orange or a little slider button.
