I have a belkin wireless router connected to the modem, somehow recently I am connected to the wireless router but I do not have any internet. I followed these steps and I was back online. I believe somehow the wireless router lost the dns server info from the modem.

1). Disconnect the wireless router from the modem.
2). Power off the modem.
3). Connect the wireless router to the modem.
4). Now power up the modem.

Now try to disable/enable the wireless connection and reconnect, you should be able to access the internet.

Hope this works for all of you

hi,
search for available wireless networks first.
right-click on the wireless icon in the taskbar.

Make sure DHCP is enabled on your wireless router. Mine somehow became disabled when a new highspeed connection was installed (new ISP).

1. Click the Start menu button on the Windows taskbar. 

2. Click Run... on this menu. 

3. If the computer is holding a current IP address, type 'cmd' (without the quotes) in the text box that appears. A command prompt window appears on the screen. 

4. Type 'ipconfig' (without the quotes) to view the status of the computer's IP address(es). 

5. If the computer is holding a current IP address, type 'ipconfig /release' to let go of the address. 

6. Type 'ipconfig /renew' to obtain a new IP address (whether or not the computer is holding a current address).
