Hello Sir/madam,

Welcome to Just Answer.com. My name is XXXXX XXXXX X am a Microsoft- Certified Technician who will assist you today. I understand how important this is for you. I will put in my best effort to help you out. However, in case I am running out of ideas, I will transfer it to other experts.

I need the following information.

Which operating system do you have on this laptop?
Tell me the make and model of the computer. Is it Dell, HP, Acer?
Are you able to connect using a wired(modem to router and router to laptop) connection?

Customer replied1067 days and 22 hours ago.

I made a mistake..it is not a wireless, it is a network from my computer to my wifes, that is what made me say WIRELESS...so the Wireless-G Broadband Router (Linksys) does not do the job is it supposed to be doing...no signal is getting to the remote at my wifes HP...the Remote has power...I have shut down the Router, and my putre and reset both the router and my Windstream Modem...which is a brand new Modem.

I understand that you have a desktop computer and your wife has laptop.

Are you able to go online on the desktop. Have you connected a cable from the modem to linksys and linksys to desktop computer. Is this correct?

Now, by using an extra ethernet cable, please connect a cable from the linksys router to laptop and tell me if you are able to go online on the laptop.

After that I will give you steps to go wireless on the laptop.
