Things to Check:
1. Please check if the wireless switch on your laptop is ON?
2. Are you able to see your wireless network in the list of connections?
If the answer for both of the above is yes, then Turn OFF & Turn ON the Modem/Router.
Please delete all the connections that are stored on your laptop's wireless settings/Wireless connections and retry connecting to your network.
On your modem/router, please remove any security passwords and make the network accessible by any one any try connecting to the network.If the connection is successful, then reprogram the modem / router with a password.
Another easy fix to find if the fault is actually with your laptop is to go to a free public wireless hotspot and see if your laptop connects to their network.If it dd, its not your Laptop but your wireless modem/router.
Sounds like someone renamed the router and gave it a password from within the Router settings. You will need to ask the people that were messing with it what the password is. Or you could do a factory reset on it to remove the password. Note: It is best to have a password for it in order to connect to it. Otherwise others will be able to connect to your network, like neighbors and such.
Who is the "System Administrator" for "My Network" ?
If it is you, and you are trying to make a "wireless" connection between your router and your laptop, then you can use an Ethernet cable to connect your laptop to one of the LAN ports on the router, and then reconfigure the router to set a new password for your wireless network.
Does your laptop even see the network? If any security has been set up on your wireless router, you'll have to set up a new wireless connection on your computer. The easiest way to find the settings (SSID, encryption, password) is to look under the wireless network properties of a computer you already have running on the wireless network.
I'm not exactly sure as to give you the right answere as i dont have enough info on laptop and wireless modem. But in windows on your laptop ,look for SEACH FOR WIRELESS NETWORKS. On your pc when you set up your router you should have put in a password. This password you should have to use when your laptop finds your network, its as simple as putting in the password and away you go.If in doubt, contack dlink (usually toll free number) and give them a call. But remember to write things down as you might find yourself having to do it again (lost files,power outage.etc) so might be a good idea to keep a record. good luck JLS
For wireless connection you need a wireless adaptor in your laptop. Most of the laptop comes with wireless adaptor. If you have one then go to control panel--> network connection--> right click on wireless connection and view available networks in your area.
Please note : If you see a lock sign in front of a network it means that network is secured and you cant access it without password.
