dears, i'm new in the router world, and the question that i'm asking might be very stupid but this is really a buzzel for me, i have configured my router to my DSL, and when i connect the rounter wirely to the laptop it connects normally, but when i remove the wire, i can't connect to the internet , although i'm connecting through client manager and the signal is strong:(, i can't configure my wireless connection, can anyone help me please, this is becoming very annoying for me, i just need to know how to connect wirelessly to the internet, please excuse my ignorance but anyone that can help me i will be very appreciated.
thanks in advance
hi again pcpiranha, i'm at work now so i can't be exact sure about the lights upfront, but i know for sure that the light router is on, as for the lights at the back, after i remove the wire cable, i only have one light on at the back, which is the one that connects the DSL to the router.
as for what happens, the internet just does not connect, i can't browse any website, it gives me the error that i can't navigate to the internet due to internet connectivety, if i return the wire between my laptop and the router back, and i got another light at the back of the router, the internet become connected !!!.
can you guide me through how to connect wirelessly after the step of being connected through wire, or any steps that i can check to know where i'm i going wrong.
P.S i will check the lightings on the front and get back to you after i return from work, thanks for your patience.
ok i'm home now and i have 3 lights on the front, the power, the router and the wireless lights are all on.
I have a different router, but you might want to read my thread and see if some of the things I described are present.

Jawad, What OS(s) are you running? How far apart are the router and computer? Also what is between them?
Goodspike, that thread is not releant because they are two very different routers. I will help this customer in his/her own thread so that others who have the same router may benefit from his/her experience. Please do not start directing every customer who has "limited or no connectivity" to your thread unless they have the same router. Or at least a router with similar hardware/firmware. I will leave this post but any more posts like this will be deleted.
thanks for trying to help goodspike, but as Pcpiranha said, i have different router with different problems.
as for the OS it is widows vista ultimate with service pack 1 .
the distance between the router and the laptop is nothing more than 60 CM's.
thanks again.
Are you using encryption? What type? Can you ping the router? How about google?
how can i check if i'm using encryption or not, since i don't know how to connect, anyway i can ping 192.168.11.1 both with wire or not, but i can't ping google unless i'm connecting the wire.
it says wpa-psk for wireless authentication.
and tkip for encryption
here you go, i don't know if this is secure, but i'm going to post it anyway.

You are showing 2 default gateway IP addresses (192.168.1.254 and 192.168.11.1 (Buffalo)). Either the DSL modem is a router and you have it plugged into the LAN port or your TCP/IP stack isn't working properly. If it's the latter I suggest going to microsoft for further support:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299357
go to the section that says "Use a manual method to reset TCP/IP"
thanks a lot PCPiranha, i discovored what is the problem when i saw the config, , i always used to connect through the wire then connect wirelessly, that does not work since i will have 2 default gateways and the computer does not take the wireless default gateway it sticks with the wire one, that's why i couldn't connect to the internet although i'm connected to the wireless connection, i removed the wire restarted my pc and it is all good.
dump moment but expected for me there, i want to thank you for your time and for you pairing with me, you are a great admin and they are lucky to have you.
thanks again and sorry for you time.
