Al Lustie's Tips and Tricks

So simple, but easy to miss.  When your computer, particularly a laptop, cannot connect to your wireless network, check for one of the following:

• A function key that turns the ability of the machine to connect on or off
• A switch on the front edge or side edge of the laptop.

If that fails, reboot the modem first by unplugging it for 15 seconds, plugging it in and then waiting 2 minutes.
Then reboot the wireless router by unplugging it for 15 seconds, plugging it in and then waiting 2 minutes.
