I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly

If you are unable to connect to the Internet from a wireless computer, please check the following items:

1.  Look at the lights on your Router.  If you’re using a Belkin Router, the lights should be as follows:

• The “Power” light should be on.
• The “Connected” light should be on, and not blinking.
• The “WAN” light should be either on or blinking.

If this is NOT the case, please follow the instructions at this link:  The Easy Install Wizard completed, but my web browser doesn’t work

2.  Open your wireless utility software by clicking on the icon in the system tray at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.  If you’re using a Belkin Wireless Card, the tray icon should look like this (the icon may be red or green):

3.  The exact window that opens will vary depending on the model of wireless card you have; however, any of the utilities should have a list of “Available Networks” those wireless networks it can connect to. 

If you are using a Belkin 802.11g (54g) Wireless Router, “Belkin54g” is the default name.

If you are using a Belkin 802.11b Wireless Router, the default name should be “WLAN”. 

If using a non-Belkin router, please consult your router manufacturers user manual for the default name.
