Hi Fred! I have checked the specification of your laptop here and found that your laptop is Wi-Fi capable and wi-fi drivers are available and can be downloaded and installed here. (if required) Most Gateway notebooks have a designated multi-function button or function key to turn your wireless on and off. There should be a tiny slide switch or button with a small antenna
symbol. There should also be a light with the same symbol to show when
it is on and from the keyboard Press Fn+F2 to enable wireless.
Let me know if any further clarification/ assistance is required.
Good Luck! Dont forget to appreciate the solution if I could have been of any help! CreativeTECH
your internet gateway (the modem)if you have att you must turn on the the wireless inside your 17XXhg gateway modem if you don't then you have another system I gave you a example to clear your question if you need more help please repost with more information
You wirless switch has to be turned on for that to work. If that is not the issue then sometimes it it best to plug it in to the router and set it up that way. the computer already recognizes the computer and it finds it easier to set up the wirless.
If you want to make it real easy to manage your computers and the internet. Download a network manage ment program. I will help you connect you computers to the internet and much more. Network Magic Pro or Network Magic Essentials $30-$50.
I hope i have given you information that has helped you.
Thank you for the chance to help as well...
Sounds like the router may need a firmware update as the DHCP service is failing to run correctly.
You can however just use a static ip address.
First of all find out the network address in use.
eg. 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.2.1
to find out, - start menu - run - cmd - ok - ipconfig
1.
Log on to the client computer as Administrator or as Owner.
2.
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
3.
Click Network and Internet Connections.
4.
Click Network Connections.
5.
Right-click Wireless Network Connection, and then click Properties.
6.
Click the General tab, click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) in the This connection uses the following items list, and then click Properties.
7.
In the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box, click Obtain an IP address automatically (if it is not already selected), and then click OK.
Note You can also assign a unique static IP address in the range of 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254. For example, you can assign the following static IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway:
IP Address 192.168.0.2 Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 Default gateway 192.168.0.1
