hey guys my laptop will no longer conect to the net wirelesly
since it first happnd i hav changed router it detects the new router
shows full signal but fails to connect
any ideas or is it fucked

doesn't sound too far off working... what version of windows and what's the router?

Any clues in the messages that come by as the network tries to connect ? Try disconnecting and reconnecting and watch then.

If you open a 'cmd' window and type the command "ipconfig /all" that will give you a definitive answer on the state of the wireless connection.

What's the security level on the router? If's it WPA2 you may need to update your drivers depending on the age of your laptop. Although if it was working before then its clearly not the issue.

It could be a neighbour etc has started using some wireless equipment that intereferes with yours. Baby monitors, video senders etc.

You can download tools to help you track down the issue.

Handy bit of software that will display all the visable wifi networks in range including what channel of the wireless frequency ther'e on amongst other things. If yours clashes with another, you can spot it. What it won't do is show video senders etc (you have to buy hardware for that) but it could be worth checking.

il look into that

the massage it displays just say try connct again
and trouble shot low wifi even thou it displays full signal

i was using a bt homehub 2.0 when it first happnd then i changd from bt to talktalk
on tuesday and pluged in the router they provided whitch th laptop picked up but failed to connct

laptop is just over a year old my netbook conncts fine
i use a video sender and hav for a while b4 the prob my direct neubour is dead
so house is empty lol

So the netbook connects to the new router/modem via wifi and can browse the internet ok?

Is the router a "EchoLife HG520s" ?

Does the connection hang at the "Acquiring IP address" stage ?

From your netbook, I think you will be able to access your router status screen via your browser by putting in the web address "http://192.168.1.1" (user admin, password admin). My guess is the laptop is choking on some encryption setting on the router and you might have to turn that off.

Have you got the security set up right?

Called talk talk and got it sorted now all it seemed to
Take was reseting the network name and password
