Assuming that you DO have an active WiFi card in your computer, I would suspect that the card is capable of interfacing with certain frequencies but the wirless router has been set to broadcast over a different frequency. Under these conditions, both the computer and the wireless router are working properly, but neither can see the other.

Common frequency bands are:

2.4 GHz (802.11b/g/n/ax)
3.65 GHz (802.11y)
4.9–5.0 GHz (802.11j) WLAN
5 GHz (802.11a/h/j/n/ac/ax)
5.9 GHz (802.11p)
60 GHz (802.11ad/ay)
900 MHz (802.11ah)

You will need to check the specifications of your particular computer to see what frequencies it can use.

Ofter, a wireless router can be switched to different frequency bands and be able to sync with your wireless circuitry.

Hello,
Do you have a wifi card in the computer? It is a hardware part that you need so that the computer can connect to the wifi. If you have that but can't find it in the operating system. I suggest that you either install or update the driver for it.
You can use RadarSync to scan your computer for the available updates of your wifi driver. Make sure that you connect to the internet first using your ethernet so that it will detect the available driver updates somewhere in the databases of the manufacturer.

SOURCE: Wireless internet connection problem

the cause of your problem is that you have disable the device from device manager.

you should try uninstalling it and the re-installing, but you should only try this if you got the drivers with you (they might be on the cd that they gave you when you joined them).

SOURCE: I am not getting internet

The Ethernet is still can't use for WiFi so far,but it isn't not a problem for the WiFi connect matter because there is a Net Work card itself for most Laptop today including Dell Inspiron 1525 PC Notebook, it may be the Drive matter for the Net work system,you can update it ,or there is no WiFi Net work in your place obsolutely.

SOURCE: I just purchased a sylvania

Please try and follow the suggestions below.

It is looking for a password (WiFi Network Key) You have to double click on the little computer icon down in the right tool bar area, the one with the two side radiating arcs, and possibly has a small red X under it. The red X indicates that it is NOT connected. When you double click on that icon a window called RT28701 opens up, then you click on Wireless Information tab, then you cursor down to the name of your WiFi and high light it and click the connect box. Then another window opens up called Network Properties. Uncheck "The key is provided automatically" box. This will allow you to type in your "Network Key", the password that protects your network from outsiders. This "KEY" was set up when you installed the router on your server computer. If this does not work at first, turn the machine over on it's back and using a toothpick, insert it into the little hole about an inch diagonally from the right corner of the data plate, this will re-load a new copy of everything including the WiFi RT28701 driver.

sometimes this driver gets confused. See my TIP at: http://www.fixya.com/support/r7350901-fix_synet07526_wifi_flashing


Additional Information


When I try to sign on with the red X showing, I get "The page cannot be displayed If I then double click on the icon down in the right corner I elucidated above, RT28701 opens up to "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) with all zeros in the IP address field, and Subnet Mask, with no entries in the default gateway. That is a clue to me that the auto sign on has not found a viable network or needs something else. If I then click on Wireless Information tab, The list of available networks appear in the box. The machine keeps trying to associate my previous entered name site with my prefered site and tells me the signal is good, but it cannot link up. This is a signal to me that it has lost my Network Key or that the software has failed or both. I then click on advance and delete my prefered network and hit OK, this will force the software to ask me for my network again, and notice that the prefered is missing. I click on the name of my network again and then hit connect., then the Wireless Network properties window opens up and I can insert my Network Key again after I uncheck the "The key is provided automatically" box. I enter the key and hit the OK button. I still do not get a connection, so I reboot the machine, and wait for about 30 seconds and the machine synchs up because the little RED X under the icon has disappeared. Now the machine will hook to the internet as long as I want to, but sometimes when I turn the machine on it will not synch, so I go through the above sequence again. The secret is once you have entered your key and ask for the machine to synch up you have to reboot. Why? I do not exactly know, but I suspect that the WiFi driver looses it

That sounds like your WiFi card has failed. Try installing new drivers before sourcing a new Board.
The part number for searching is; V000121760
They are usually very reliable.
I have spares if you need any.

LG smart TV already WiFi. Can ethernet connect to another device as a router

It is not going to work. Both wifi and ethernet are for internet connection only. Ethernet is much faster than wifi. Also there is possibility to damage tv by plugging ethernet cable which is connected device using POE (power over ethernet). You need to connect your dvr via hdmi, component or composite cable

We are getting a wifi is not connected message from our unblock tv box even though the ethernet cable is connected and functioning properly.

If wifi is enabled and your TV shows it is connected, the problem lies upstream from your TV. The problem will likely be at your router where the internet first enters your home.
You could try to restart your router. Otherwise you internet service provider may be having a problem and you need to talk with them.

Netflix App on Windows 8

what if it told you the truth
you trying to use wifi with netfilx ?
try wired, connection to ethernet first.

first off there can be many causes, no need to blame ATI/AMD at first blush.
the correct question is not how to guess, but to test.
1: run ethernet cable, connected. works now? bingo>?
2: run speed test on the Ethernet, type that into google and do that next, if this fails download speeds, mines 200MB/s 2 is no good
netflex even publishes min, bandwidth , for movies, at 2 selected
resolutions HD HDX.?

you could update that amd driver, from amd.
go to amd.com and do that, i bet its not that.
3:; are you lacking PC memory free, are the loads of software running, in memory, empty the startup folder.
4: is the CPU showing overload in taskmagers.
5: is PC infected.
6: run netfix in firefox v56+ browsers. it works great.
i stop here, there are more tests, PC's are complex.
7: one more does PC #2 work? using your routers
wifi or ethernet, connections./?????? sure it will.

I can no longer get a wireless online connection. The wireless signal strength says "excellent", but the connection is "Local Only". It does work however with the Ethernet cable which...

ok so wifi fails we all know why the 100reasons,
why not use a 2nd PC to see if wifi fails there too
easy no/, ends all guessing what's up.

your post is not clear at all does the internet work wired.
yes/no
using a real browser to amazong or ebay etc.
that matters now what windows thinks, in CP

wifi is complex, (when failed)
so say what ethernet does? (real online)
and learn that in the taskbar, you switch off wifi first to run on Ethernet. it will show icon for ethernet . and good. and browsing works. the web.
if only 1 PC fails on wifi we fix the PC fails
of 2 PC fail we fix the router. see?

My touch shows that I have a wifi connection, but i cant use it.

All you have to do to the ipod is go to settings, wifi and make sure its turned on in the same place you should see a list of wifi networks you can connect to just tap the one you want and the ipod will do its thing your done, but if you done all that and you ipod doesnt go online says connected but wont access the net, my guess is the wifi router you mite have some prob with that, make sure the internet ethernet cable is pluged into the modem plug not the numbered slots after this you should be good to go unless your wifi modem is new if so some req you to plug it to your computer via ethernet cable to program it first! Hope this helps
