This can be a frustrating problem. Sorry you are having this. Number one and most important, is there a WiFi switch on the side or back of your computer? Some HP and Dell models have a slider switch that must be turned on before you can connect. After that follow these steps if your computer does not automatically connect.
1. Go to the Windows button (rainbow colored window) in lower left hand side of computer. Click
2. See "Control Panel" and click it or type in Control Panel.
3. Click Network and Security
4. Click Connect to a Network that you want to connect to. For example click Home 8405
5. You will be asked to enter a Security Key which is like the password for the network. Push return and you should be connected.

Your WiFi light should be blue instead of orange
On the lower right hand side of your computer you will see some bars next to the speaker (sound) icon. Click those bars and it will tell you if you are connected.

Good luck and happy surfing the Internet.

I cant access my games on my fire tablet , tried to register but was told i already was , still not straightened out ,,please help

First of all make sure you have the wifi turned on and connected to a wireless router. If you download a game the game registration has to be updated periodically. If you have registered the games before they should re-register automatically if the wifi is connected.

Click back to WiFi screen and click the WiFi you want to connect with, enter the key that your WiFi needs to connect, or use the WPS option if available on you WiFi. If the WiFi has WPS, push the button on the WiFi and connect your tablet or phone by pressing connect.

I DONT HAVE INTERNET ON MY HTC JETSTREAM TABLET BECAUSE IT WILL NOT HOLD THE CONNECTION WITH THE HOME WIFI. CAN YOU HELP, PLEASE?undefined

How long has your tablet been turned on without rebooting it? Tablets are just like computers, they need to be rebooted every so often or they "forget" how to do certain things, and wi-fi is one of them, in my experience. Turn off your tablet, let it sit for a minute, then turn it back on again. This should help. If not, check under Settings to make sure someone hasn't accidentally turned off the Wi-Fi button or put the tablet in Airplane mode - both of these things will effectively keep your tablet from connecting. I would try rebooting first.

My galaxy tablet cannot detect our wifi connection. it always says disabled and scanning, obtaining IP address but will not connect. ive turn of/off the unit and entered the passkey several times but still...

Does the WiFi router have SSID? Did it ever connect to other WiFi Access Point before? If not some say to set the Tab on Static IP and configure the router to allow the Tab's MAC address. Hope it helps.
