Unable to Connect Internet through Wireless router modem

Hi,

I'm using Windows7 on Dell vostro1500, I'm unable to connect to Internet through wireless modem router, let me know whether I need to Install any driver separately for the same. If yes Please provide me the link for for the drivers.

Thanks in advance.

Does Device Manager show a WiFi device under Network Adaptors? If so, Windows 7 has detected the hardware and installed the driver.

Under device Manager, Lan card details are there, still I'm facing the problem

 

You should see two devices, LAN (wired network) and WiFi (wireless). I understand that you are trying to make a wireless connection to the router so your need to have a WiFi adaptor. You may need to turn on a hardware switch in the side of the computer to enable the wireless.

Not working that one, Is there any other option to connect thru wireless

 

o the WLAN adapter hardware device must be installed and connected to an internal antenna;

o the WLAN device must be enabled in the machine BIOS;

o any machine switch for enabling wireless devices (WLAN, Bluetooth, etc.) must be switched ON if it is configured in the BIOS to control the WLAN device.

o the WLAN device software driver must be installed so that the device is present and working as seen in Device Manager;

o a Windows wireless connection must be defined with settings to match the WLAN router/access point wireless settings... SSID (wlan name), security encryption/authentication/key. Channel # and mode abgn negotiation should be automatic assuming both ends support/enable these to match. Configure to connect automatically even if WLAN AP is not broadcasting its SSID.

o would be good to know how the WLAN router/AP is configured, that it is working, that its DHCP server will issue an IP address, and that it is not configured to filter/deny connections such as by MAC address.

Can you connect to a wired port on the router and see the Internet?

-What hardware or software changes recently occured? (i.e. just purchased the notebook, just installed Windows7, recently switched internet providers, have never used the wireless modem router before, etc...)

-Can you connect to the wireless modem router? If yes, what type of internet service do you have? If it is DSL sometimes the gateway device needs to be configured.
