Unable to connect now to my wireless internet.?
I have a Belkin Wireless G Plus MIMO router and adapter setup on the two terminals here at home. Everything has worked fine since I installed it (about 2 months ago) up until just yesterday. I did a restart and since then I am unable to connect. I have checked all connections with the router and adapter. I believe the problem is with the firewall setting on the main terminal that the modem and router are hooked up to. My sister ran several updates and did a virus scan late yesterday among other things which somehow resulted in my connection working again. Late last night though when I powered up and logged on I again received the error message, and it continues today. Neither of us is sure what exactly she did that got it to working again temporarily or why it isn’t working again now. I’ve been advised not to completely power down my system in the future, but I don’t believe this problem is the result of any missed updates. Any advice on how to get this working again?
Before moving forward, make sure that the laptop can connect to the Internet via a Ethernet cable (wire). If that works, then you can debug the wireless part.
Can it connect to the access point? If so, does it obtain an IP Address, (can be checked by start > run > cmd > ipconfig [enter]).
If it does have an ip address, try:
ping google.com, if this works, disable your firewall and reset your IE settings.
If that does not work, try to ping your router..if this does work, then it can be a dns issue or something else.
