Party Vibe

first of all I’d check to see that the wireless is actually enabled, firstly on the laptop (some have a “wireless on/off” switch on the case which is easy to knock by mistake)

check if you can whether the wireless kit on the laptop can receive any other nearby networks (you don’t need to connect to them, just see if they are there which would prove the wireless on the laptop is actually working)

also if you did look at any of the router admin screens then check them again to ensure you haven’t managed to turn off the wireless on the router (the “interface enabled” box should still have a tick in it).

once you are sure the router has wireless enabled make sure this setting is applied then restart the device (by powering it on and off again)

and try to connect once more..

depends on the laptop. some models don’t actually have it as standard and it is an extra module which has to be obtained separately inserted into the computer (where it is varies from make to make!)

Check for the switch though to make sure it hasn’t been switched off (I think the switch is there so you can use the laptop in planes where radio equipment is otherwise banned)

if you don’t actually have a WLAN card in the computer (and they are expensive as they are customised to each laptop) you might have to get a separate one (you can get USB or PC card ones for laptops)
