P.S. my other pc connects fine on wireless network My ISP is NTL nad my modem is NTL:250 Model No. E08C007 The laptop will connect to other people's wireless routers with only a small signal but not mine with a strong signal

you can access the router's wireless settins so that you can check the wireless password or the network key for you to connect your iphone to the internet

If you have lost the password to access the router page then you have to reset the router

Ensure that you have all the details regarding your internet connection before resetting the router

If you reset the router you can run the smart setup wizard and get connected by entering correct information in all the pages of the wizard

If you are looking for the wireless password:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Access your router page ( Open Internet Explorer --> Type 192.168.1.1 and enter it--> Login name(default)-admin, Password(default)-password) --> GO to wireless settings,under Wireless settings you will find the wireless password.

>Switch on your laptop wireless..
>Goto Network sharing center from network connection settings menu from control panel..
>Search for New Connection and select your Wifi router And mark it as shared..

See what ip,gateway and DNS its getting from the access point.If its getting the right ips then your network should work. If it is not getting the right ips then there must be some problem in the DHCP configuration of the access point

I am in the UK and have found through experience the Netgear's seem to work perfect on a BT line (equivalent of AT & T)
but not on the cable.

I would suggest purchasing a Linksys by Cisco WRT54GL Wireless-G Broadband Router as these seem to install in minutes,
saves me hours of wasted time when setting up wireless networks.

Make sure that your computer is getting a valid IP address from the router. If your wireless network is secured, you might as well consider checking the wireless settings.

are you using the same settting as the other laptop:
ssid, wep/wpa, wireless channel, and/or encryption key?

is it able to connect to your network? if not then try to directly connect to router using an ethernet cable.

As you say that, you are able to go online with the modem, connect your modem- router and laptop witha cable and check if you are able to go online with the router wired first, if yes, then the w/ls settings has to be checked..open your w/ls network connection, remove your preferred wireless network and then try to reconnect again and check.. if you are not able to gon online wired with the router, disconnect power cables from modem- router , wait for 10 sec, and reconnect it , wait till all the lights come up and then reconnect, check if you are able to go online if not your router has to be reconfigured,,

plz check and revert back in case of any issues
