Hello,

I recently bought a new Compaq laptop and am having trouble connecting to my wireless Netgear Router. I have tried everything - configuring router etc. My laptop can see the router and has strong connection but wont allow me to connect to it. Am lost please anyone have an idea??

No it says - cannot connect to Network "NAME"
but it shows the network and it has a strong signal and I know its the right network (router) because I changed the routers name and it has identified that but it just wont allow me to connect.

when you mean connect to it.. do you mean being able to access the internet?

Have you been able to connect to the router?
No I cant connect to the router or the internet - I can connect when I plug in a cable but not through wireless. I can see the router (name that I updated) but I can connect to it at all??
