Hello people ! This is my first post ever here and I don't know much about computers, so take it easy on me.
I was given this nice Gateway laptop. The only problem with it is that I can't get it to work with my Netgear wireless router. I have another PC and laptop that work fine connecting to the internet, so I know there is nothing wrong with the router. The laptop does have a WiFi card. I have no clue how to troubleshoot this problem, or what steps I need to take to try and connect it correctly to the router. Basically, I don't know if the problem is with the laptop or with something I am doing (or not doing) to make it connect. Many thanks.
