Look at the "alternate" labels on the F1 through F12 keys on your keyboard. Is there one of them labelled "Turn WiFi On/Off" (or something like that) ? If so, hold down the 'FN' key (bottom left of keyboard) and press the key to turn the WiFi on.
Or, some laptops have an On/Off slider somewhere on the edges of the case?
Right click on the wifi icon on the taskbar by the time, then click Open Network and Sharing Center. On the left side of the window that pops up, click on "Change Adapter Settings". You should see your wireless adapter listed here, and can enable or disable it from here.
Maybe you don't have your wireless turned on. Look onboth sides and in front for the Wireless Switch and turn it on.
Also once the wireless switch is turned on there are keystrokes that can togglethe wireless on or off. Normally you would Press and Hold the FN functionkey located at the lower left of the keyboard, then hit the correct F1 thru F12key that toggles the wireless. The correct F1 thru F12 key to hit willhave the wireless signal icon )))) on it. Or it might have the icon of a towerwith the wireless signal icon )))). Normally the screen will displayWireless On or Wireless Off when you toggle the wireless.
Press and Hold the FN function key then hit F2 while holding the FN Key down.

Why not? What is happening? Is the wireless turned on? Are you connected to the router? Do you know the password if the network is secured? Has the wifi worked before? There are too many variables that could cause the wifi to not work and you gave us no info as to what is happening.

make sure you turn the wireless switch on. It should be on either side or the front of the laptop.
Did you configure the new router and set the wireless on it?
If your internet provider is a phone company such as AT&T did you configure the router to be PPOE (and set the userid and password) and bridged the modem that goes into the router?
If your internet provider is a cable company did you set the router to be DHCP?
Does the Sony even see the wireless network in the View Available Wireless Networks list?
Did you put the wireless key in correctly?
You didn't by chance happen to hit the FN function key on the lower left portion of the keyboard + the key (F1 thru F12) that toggles the wireless on and off? The correct F1 thru F12 key to hit will have the wireless signal icon )))) or it will have the icon of a tower with the wireless signal )))).
Your functions key on the top of the keyboard will have a blue antena icon on it. Most of the time its F9. You will also see a function key on the bottom left of the keyboard, a blue "Fn" key.
Press Fn and F9 (or the key with antena) together. Your wireless will be on.
Below is the image of the Notebook keyboard, the key to be pressed in highlighted in Red.
look across the top of the keyboard @ your F keys,their will be a picture of a wireless symbol that looks like this...... Hold down the FN key which is @ the bottom left of your keyboard & press the wireless symbol.
Is this working well before? Do you think your wireless adapter is installed and is working properly?
If it is so, then just turn ON your wifi radio receiver by holding down the FN key on your keyboard and pressing a corresponding FUNCTION Key. Look for the function key (F1 to F12) with the wifi radio wave icon on it like ))) or ((( ))). Example, if F10 has that wifi icon, then hold down FN and press F10 to turn your wifi ON or OFF.
