Does it work minus the router?

Direct connection?

havent tried it directly into the modem but i connected it with ethernet to the router and it didnt work either!

i have seen numerous people having problems with routers not connecting in the last few months and they have had to buy a new one,would the lan cable you tried been faulty?

can you try the laptop some other place to see if it picks up other wireless connections in your area.

Try it direct and see, it at least eliminates the router if its still not working.

No point doing a format if the modem gives you a connection.

Try unistalling and re-installing the drivers for the WiFi

look at the securty settings in the routers setup pages change to anoter type ie wpa or something different had this with one laptop did not like the encryption! just a suggestion

hi guys i have a laptop that will not connect to the internet via wireless or wired. the laptop sees the router and the internet but the the browsers dont load up even my antivirus wont update either.

ive tried restarting the router and modem ive uninstalled and reinstalled the adapters but still the same.

im running windows 7

Is this a new laptop on your network, did you have internet connection before with the same OS that is running now?

All I think of is that;
your Internet provider has limited amount of ip addresses
corrupted OS install
a Virus which prevents you connecting

I think this choice must try first...if the problem still happen and then you clean install windows
