Does the laptop get connected to the wireless but no internet. Or does it not get connected to the wireless

 

It connects to the wireless router strong signal there is internet
connection to the desktop all setting are ok on laptop but no internet

 

Are you using DHCP. If not are youre settings for ip adress subnet gateway and dns set right

 

Using DHCP thier ISP is Aol

 

1.what browser are you using to connect to the net
2.Are all the settings correct for AOL in the routers config

 

Using IE as browser the have also install Aol on laptop so have tried both settings for router are correct given by Aol I still think it the wireless security alarm but Imight be wrong

 

If you have a CAT 5 cable just hook youre laptop up with that and see if you have the internet when its connected via a wire

 

Good idea did not think of that shall give it a try on monday let you know the reult thanks

 

take a look here , let us know how you get on.

Si

 

Thanks for that will let you know

 

I was able to connect to the internet wired up to router no problem the AOL proxy settings were all cleared so that was not the problem so internet connection ok wired. some other factor using wireless signal still think its the wireless security alarm so I am going to try 802.11a router with card instead of 802.11g.b. unless any more ideas to try.

 

If you're convined it's the alarm, have you tried a different wireless channel?

 

Yes I tried that when I first suspected the wireless security system but with no result

 

whats the make and model for the router?

 

I am now going to install a belkin pre-n mimo router with the option for 802.11a they have had two other wireless routers installed before by other computer repair firms but with no results both have not been able to connect to the internet but can see the wireless router I still am covienced that the wireless security alarm is the problem has any one else had this problem before

 

Can't you temporarily switch off the alarm to check?

Harry.

 

Its a belkin Pre-n mimo
