I don't have the instructions to my wireless router and i know nothing about them can you help

Hi,
I did a factory restore on my Toshiba because after I did a system restore to an earlier date it still was not working like before nor could it pick up any wireless signal. But I could and still can connect through ethernet cord. How do I get my laptop to pick up any wireless signal?

Side note: I have unplugged my modem and router for several minutes. Maybe like 15 min or so. Also turned off my laptop then plugged in modem, then router then turned on laptop....nothing still.

I have tried a few other things suggested on here but still nothing.

*I remember seeing on a screen that wireless was not enabled* I did try the "FN+F8" nothing.

I share a supported links, visit and follow instructions.

Thanks,

This post is dedicated to describing the process of fixing an orange light on a Belkin router. But, first, it's important to know about the reason for the orange light. The orange light on the brilliantly-designed Belkin router provides an indication that either the particular connection had not been developed or the router is not capable of detecting the Internet. It might be due to the defected router, unplugged modem, and so forth.

To connect to your wireless router, the router's wireless settings needs to be configured with the SSID, encryption etc. and also the wireless cards in all the laptops/computers needs to be configured with these router's wireless settings. Then the laptops/desktop computers can communicate with your wireless router.
Connect a LAN cable from the Linksys to the LAN port on your computer.
Open a browser and enter the Linksys configuration URL
http://192.168.1.1
The default login = admin
The default PW = admin
You can protect your router by changing the default admin PW (write it down and put it in a safe place)
Go to the wireless configuration and set up the SSID and WPA or WPA2 encryption to protect your wireless network and Internet from unauthorized access.
Now apply these settings to the wireless card in your laptop/computer.

Some later model wireless routers have the Password(ie.Encryption key) and the SSID already configured in the wireless router andthis information is printed on a label on the bottom of the router.
These settings can be used to configure the wireless card in yourcomputer/laptop.
If these settings do not suit you, then go to link and follow my instructions. http://www.fixya.com/support/r10267861-network_security_key

One thing to try is to hard reset the modem and the router. This will work on an unprotected router that won't connect most of the time.
This link is to the data sheet d-link gives for this router. ftp://ftp10.dlink.com/pdfs/products/DIR-655/DIR-655_ds.pdf
This one is to the software and instillation guides they provide. Select your country from the three. Then there is a link to a FAQ below the two download links that will help you find which of the two that you need.

Check the power supply of your wireless router if it is OK if you know how to used tester check it. If it is OK then checked the software driver of the router if it is properly installed if not re installed it again,make sure to follow the instruction of the manual of router properly.Checked also the settings of other computer you want to link in the wireless router if it is in right settings of wireless connection.
