WLan router disabled but I need to ENABLE WLan
Posted: 28-Jan-2012 03:32

After how many years of having wireless connectivity to our router from my laptop - my step father has suddenly decided to disable it, forcing me to use a direct cable plug from the router to my laptop in order to access internet! I need help!

Is there a way to get my wireless internet back!
Basically i cant access wireless connectivity anymore - in order to acess internet, i must use a cable which is directly plugged into the router.

in addition, the icon at the bottom of the computer screen which usually is a mini computer screen that flashes - has now changed to TWO mini computer screens which flash?!

i think it has something to do with a toshiba program - called config free. im on a limited user account and i can see that he has disabled the wireless network connection - does this mean that i would somehow have to get into the admin account, and then change it?

HELP.

I think you misunderstood something… if the WLan is disabled in router settings, then you will not be able to receive the WLan signals using the notebook.

You have to enable the WLan in router settings (should read the router user manual).

After the WLan has been enabled and configured in router settings, you can enable the Wlan functionality on notebook and can configure the Wlan card settings to establish the connection.

Of course. All you must do is to use LAN connection to your router and enter router settings. In networks options you will find option to enable WLAN.

After doing this save the router settings, disconnect LAN cable, enable WLAN on your notebook and scan the area to find your WLAN router.

That’s all.
