The router is connected to a HP laptop already thru the router wirelessly. I can see my SSID and when prompt to enter my security key, it says "windows was unable to connect", and when I click to trouble shoot problems, it says window can't identify the problem. I'm using windows 7 with the Lenovo. Thanks.

Hi
I presume that your internet was working fine before you bought your new laptop. Unless you've done something to change it it should still be working as before.
You shouldn't need a CD - if you think about it you don't need a CD when you log in in Starbucks so why should you need one at home?
The only thing you need to know is the router's wireless name; Talktalk 12345etc, and its password - which is the password your son is using.
I can't explain why you can't connect when your son is connected - as the router should be able to host 253 laptops (very very slowly mind) - unless the router has been set with an access list that only allows his laptop to connect.

Hi,
Please note that this router is compatible with Windows 7. Please perform the below steps on your Windows 7 computer to connect to the wireless network:
1. Click START, Click Control Panel.
2. In the main screen, open up NETWORK AND INTERNET.
3. Click on Connect to a network.
4. Select your network and connect to it. If you have a Password setup on the router enter the security key.
5. This should setup the wireless network.
I hope this information allows you to resolve this issue.

SOURCE: cant access internet but can connect to wireless TP-link router
Your friend is able to go online using the same wireless network. that means the wireless network is working properly and there might be a problem with your computer .
You said that you can connect to the wireless network but you can not go online.
Check the IP address and the default gateway of the computer.
Try to ping the router and DNS server and check what happens.
Make sure that there is no static IP address on the computer.

It could be the router which is giving you issue. Press and hold the reset button for 30 second and this makes the configuration to go back to its previous settings. The reconfigure the router with a new SSID and security key. Try connecting to the wireless network, the computers will consider it as a new network and will connect without any issues

I know the security key is correct because I went intohttp://192.168.1.1 and checked.
What encryption are you using? WPA,WPA2 etc. Some laptos will only recognize WEP, WPA personal or WPA2
I'm using WPA. Do I need a driver for the new laptop? It shouldn't, right?
Ok, it's fixed. I had to change it to WPA 2 and it worked. Hope this helps others.
