    I can see other wireless networks in my neighborhood but not mine. I know my router is working fine because my older Dell laptop with G is connecting right now and my new Dell with N is connecting right now. But I can't even see my network on my new Toshiba. The wireless must be on(it says so) since I am picking up other networks. Any suggestions????

    I have no idea what my router is in terms of wireless connectivity but when I got the netbook I was having a small problem connecting to wireless. At first it wouldn't see the network in my house but then it did.

    Perhaps you can try rebooting? I'm not that knowledgeable about all this so I can't really help you there. I wonder if others are having this problem too.

    Do you have "Enable SSID Broadcast" (or something similar) checked in your router setup menu? If you have it turned off (for added security) you will not see that wireless network BUT will be able to see others.

    I'm having a problem getting on wireless. I just turned it off and for some reason I can't get a wireless signal. My other computer can. I'm currently using wired right now.
