Hi,
We need more info.
Do you have any errors in the Device Manger (yellow! or Red x)?
Is the wireless card installed?
Do you "see" the wireless card lsted in the Device Manager?
Is this Linksys router wireless?
Make and model of the linksys router please.

Are you able to get On-Line if you directly connect this laptop to the router?

Thanks,
Bill
