I cannot get on a wifi for some reason it wont connect and only finds my wifi network sometimes, also am not very computer savvy! so i cant figure out what to do have tried many different things but all werent viable'
NO PC stated at all , maker and model numbers, (hopeless )
no OS stated, is it windows, if yes which one of the many.
wifi:
are you at home or at starbucks trying for wifi.
are you near your home router or 100' feet away or worse via brick or concrete walls.
test the PC near your router, for functionality.
then if that fails, take your CELL smart phone and test wifi with that phone, turn on wifi , and 3/4G off.
this tells you what is wrong. doing that.
1: router bad. (or needs reset)
2: you are using the wrong credentials.
eg: SSID name, wrong encryption use WPA2, and passphrase.
do you know all that, if not wifi is going to be a problem.
last question, who owns your WIFI router, you or the cable or phone company? if not you , only they can help.

To access the SpeedStream 2623 management interface:
1. Open your Web browser and enter the SpeedStream IP address http://192.168.254.254 in the browser Address box. The SpeedStream 2623 will automatically switch to port 88 for management access.
2. On the Login Screen, enter admin in the Password box; then click Login to display the Status screen of the management interface.
3. Under Simple Setup , go to Wireless Settings - take note of the SSID (this is the name of your wireless network). By default the SSID is "SpeedStream".
4. Still under Simple Setup , go to Wireless Encryption:
Option 1:
A. On the Simple Setup > Wireless Encryption screen, select Automatically.
B. Enter a password or password phrase.
C. Click Generate.
D. Take note of Key 1. This is the key that you will have to use on the Wii to connect wirelessly.
E. Save Settings and Continue.
Option 2:
1. On the Simple Setup | Wireless Encryption screen, select Manually.
2. Enter a password or password phrase.
3. In the bottom half of the screen, select #1.
4. Enter five hexadecimal keys; e.g., a number or letter in the range of 0-9 or A-F.
5. Click Enter to save settings and continue.
You're done with the router. Go to the wireless settings of your Wii and configure it to connect to your wireless network. For a step by step instruction go to this site:

Same router I use. It sounds like you have an option in your router that is blocking you from accessing the internet. Possibly a bad DNS server or you have accidentally restricted your computer from accessing the internet via filters.
What I would do at this point is go through router, option by option and write down any custom settings you might have. After you have them all recorded, hard reset the router. This can be done by pressing the pin hole button on back of router for about 10 or so seconds. Doing this restores your router to factory specs.
After back to factory specs, try connecting to the internet before implementing any type of security. If it works then one by one enter in your old settings that you have written down from the above step. After each setting change, try connecting to the internet, when you get back to not being able to connect, you found your rouge setting.
More thoughts on this issue:
Try connecting directly to your modem via a wired connection. After you wire the connection, reboot your modem and try accessing the internet. If it doesn't work, then I would call your ISP to see if there is anything wrong with your internet (unpaid bill, area outage). If it does work, then rehook your modem to your router. You will need to first reboot your modem then router after modem syncs up.
The rebooting of devices is important. When your modem boots up, it leases an IP to the MAC Address of the connected device. If you have not "cloned" the MAC addy, then each device has a different MAC addy. The modem will not allow access to the internet if the device connected has a different MAC address than what it leased the IP to. I would actually try this method before a hard reset of router.
If your modem has battery backup, you will need to unplug the battery along with pulling the power wire to perform a reboot. The router can be rebooted just by pulling the power wire and plugging it back in.
Hope this helps, sorry for it not being in order, the reboots came to mind after I started writing.

When I did this, my wireless began working again.
