Trying to connect my laptop to wireless connection in there a switch somewhere on laptop to put wireless on

Hi there,
Does your printer connect to your network ok? Have you connected it to your wireless network before trying to "find" it on your laptop?
Does your wireless network have a router/switch/firewall?

Turn the wireless switch on. Look on both sides and in front of the laptop for the wireless switch.

Once the switch is on make sure you put the password or network key in correctly otherwise it will just continue polling trying to connect.

Hi

Ist you need to make sure that your wireless switch is switched on i think the switched could be
somewhere on or around the front of the laptop some models its on the left and some its on the right they quite often have a small picture on or beside it which looks like a satallite

when its on hopefully it will glow orange

then look down on the bottom right hand side of the screen and hopefully there will be somekind of picture telling you that there are wireless connections available or it may be a little tv sqare box with a cross through it

if its there click on it to open the box and hopefully your router will be in there
if it is then click on your name or router then click connect
and hope that you didnt put a security key on it that you can not remember


good luck

Make sure that your wireless adapter is enabled and your wireless radio is turned on (sometimes on a laptop there is a small switch that can accident ly be turned off). Also ensure that your wireless router is on and functioning (I am assuming you are trying to access a home network and not a wireless hot spot somewhere).

If you have another wireless device try that to see if you are picking up anything.

firstly does it have a wireless indicator somewhere on the laptop?

most of the indicators located next to bluetooth switch and other indicates. once you identify the indicated then you can solve this problem.

check you wireless network settings. if not the device is disabled or drivers not installed.

if your device is ok, then you check the software for the wireless network. most computers do not indicate that the wireless device is working, try to install a wireless application driver for your laptop and try connecting it a wireless device to see if there is any connectivity.

thank you

Was it a wireless connection?
Perhaps you have accidentally switched off the wireless function? Many laptops have a wireless on/off switch, either as a pushbutton above the keyboard, or a slider somewhere on the side of the laptop case. Consult your laptop's manual if you can't find it.

Just looked at your laptop.
You will need a usb stick for internet.

Your wife's laptop is setup to connect to another wireless network. It must be set up now for the wireless network that you are trying to connect to. This means that your wife's laptop is trying to connect to the wireless network somewhere else. You need to let the laptop look for available wireless networks. It should be able to see your wireless network. It will then require you to enter the password that you have set in your Zyxel. If you don't know the password, call Zyxel.

Hi Alirahmani26,

From what I've gathered here, you're trying to use a wireless card on your laptop to connect to the Internet through your desktop computer. Are you using a wireless router somewhere in there? Or are you wanting to connect to the Internet FROM your laptop THROUGH your desktop computer? If the latter, are you planning to connect the laptop with a Cat-5 cable or with the wireless connection?

you can go to control panel, network connections, right click on your wireless network adapter icon, and select enable.
I have heard if you take the battery out and put it back in, it seems to reset that. There is also an interal switch as a last resort....so try those first
