There is a difference between Wi-Fi being on and Wi-Fi being connected. In Settings you can turn on Wi-Fi. All this does is turn on the Wi-Fi radio receiver.

With the receiver turned on you should then be able to view a list of Wi-Fi routers. You will probably see a little lock towards the bottom of the virtual radio signal symbol. These locked Wi-Fi stations cannot be connected to unless you have the right password to log onto them. Most people these days have secured their Wi-Fi routers so unauthorized folks cannot use them.

If you are using your own home router or wireless hotspot from a telecom, you will still have to select it from the list of Wi-Fi routers shown and click connect. If you haven't already entered a password, you will have to enter one.

This can all be done from them Charms menu that slides out on the right. Click Settings and Wi-Fi available.

Why do webpages load so much more slowly on my laptop than on my phone when both are connected to the same WiFi?

The Laptop web browser and mobile web browsers are different interfaces. The mobile browser is designed to load faster and only load a section of the webpage. whereas the laptop browser loads the entire page. Hope I make sense :)

I cannot load Web pages but wifi is on. Am using windows 8. What can I do to solve the problem

Wifi might be 'on' but make sure you are connected to a network.

If you are then make sure that any other wireless devices can connect to the internet first.

If they can then on your laptop do the following:

Hold the windows button on your laptop (it looks like a flag) and press 'R'.

This will open a black command prompt window. Inside this type the following:
ping www.google.com
and press enter

If the result shows it receives 4 responses then you have an issue with Internet Explorer and I would download Firefox browser onto another computer, save it to a memory stick and install it on your laptop.

If the result shows no response then you have some kind of networking issue. Try plugging in a network cable from the back of your router into your laptop and try again. If that works then you will need to try reinstalling the wireless drivers, if it doesn't, then I would reinstall Windows.

Wifi internet connected, internet explorer will not load web page

Get a new internet browser, download Firefox from here:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%2031.0.exe

Then make sure your computer time clock is correct, you can adjust the time and date by right clicking on the clock and then read the rest.

If that doesn't work you need to check your wifi router, you might need to unplug it for 1 minute then plug it back in.

If that doesn't work you need to check your Proxy settings in Internet Explorer. Do this by opening IE, then go to Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings > Uncheck all boxes then click Apply/Ok and exit IE and try again.

Just use Firefox, it is much better than IE, for many reasons.

I have upgraded from MS windows 8 to 8.1 Now I have lost my internet connection. The router is working fine

Sounds like your WiFi isn't connected. Pop the charms bar out of the right hand side by putting the mouse in the upper right hand corner, and go to settings.look for the WiFi icon, click it, is it connected?

I wish to download internet explorer 8 on windows 7...help

According to Microsoft Answers page:

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie8-windows_other/is-there-a-way-to-download-internet-explorer-8/0b10cfdd-ba6e-41d2-a3c1-6c045cf7b860

Internet Explorer 8 is part of Windows 7 and can be re-activated using the steps indicated in that page. Try them to see if them can help you solve your problem

Microsoft had just released Internet Explorer 9, with some new features, like a minimalist look browser interface, download manager, add-on manager and allowing the use of video card GPUs to accelerate the image, video and audio processing when loading the web pages to make the loading process much faster. If you want to try it, you can download it from

I have lost the use of internet explorer - I get a run time error. I have tried to download from their website but my system says there is a newer version already loaded so it won't load the one I down...

Steps for Windows 7To uninstall Internet Explorer 8, follow these steps:
  1. Close all programs.
  2. Click Start vistastartbutton.jpg, and then click Control Panel.
  3. Under Programs, click Uninstall a program.
  4. In the tasks pane, click Turn Windows features on or off.
  5. In the list of windows features, clear the check box next to Internet Explorer 8.
  6. You receive a warning message in a pop-up window. Click Yes.
Internet Explorer 8 will now be uninstalled. The system will restart after the installation.

if that fails then there is a manual way to do this using the CMD prompt...
  1. Carefully select and then copy the following command: FORFILES /P %WINDIR%servicingPackages /M Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-8*.mum /c "cmd /c echo Uninstalling package @fname && start /w pkgmgr /up:@fname /norestart"
  2. Click Start, and then type Cmd.exe in the Start Search box.
  3. In the list of programs, right-click Cmd.exe, and then click Run as administrator.

    Note If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.
  4. Right-click inside the Administrator: Command Prompt window, and then click Paste to paste the command that you copied in step 1.
  5. Press ENTER to uninstall Internet Explorer 8.
  6. When the uninstall program is finished, restart your computer.
You cannot uninstall Internet Explorer 8 if it is set as not removable. This occurs if you install Internet Explorer 8 before you install Service Pack 3 (SP3) for Windows XP. If this scenario applies to you, then you must uninstall SP3 before you can uninstall Internet Explorer 8.

Pocket e800, Internet Explorer problem

The presumption that your Wifi Compact Flash Card work with Windows Mobile 2003 is higher than working with Windows Mobile 2002. The new Windows is supporting much more hardware than the old one.
