How do I set up my Laptop onto a wireless network?

I have my home wireless network set up. But at my Gran's house, It just day's ';limited connectivity';.


I am using Windows Vista Home Premium on my laptop. If that helps you help me?


My gran has a BT-home-hub 77af.


I think I have the right security code In.


But can anyone please tell me what to do?


I have diagnosed It, and It comes back with nothing.

First, make sure you turn on the wireless function on your laptop. There is usually a switch, or buttone somewhere on the laptop. (Probably marked with a symbol of an antenna) If you don't have a wireless card built in, that would be a problem. Also, what is your SSID? You will need to know this to be able to connect. In addition check to be sure that you are connecting to the correct network (If you live in a populated area there may be more than one in range.) To check and see, click on the icon of two computers in the bottom right hand corner of your screen. A box will pop up, click on the link that says ';Connect or disconnect';. Once you have done that post everything that it says on this thread. Alternatively, if you have MSN or some other instant messenger, I could give you live help through it.

Have you tried unplugging and repluging in the power cord for the router? Also try click on the computer icons and clicking ';Network and sharing center'; Then there should be a window that pops up. Click the ';Customize'; link, and make sure the network ';Location type'; is set to private.

Do you by any chance know your IP address,How do I set up my Laptop onto a wireless network?
This is normally caused by an incorrect key, or setting the incorrect type of encryption (for home hub you want 64 bit WEP), and the key is he top of the 2 numbers on the hub label. If you are too far away from it this can laso make the connection fail.
