    1. Do any other networks (such as your neighbors') show up on the choice of wireless networks? If no networks come up at all, check Device Manager - are the drivers for the WiFi card installed? If not you can either connect using an Ethernet cable (if your PC has a plug for one) or attempt to download them onto a USB drive form a PC that will connect.
    2. You can always buy a WiFi adapter that runs on a USB port. If all you're doing is email and Youtube, an N150 speed should be fine. You can find these at major retailers (Fry's, Office Depot, etc.) or on Amazon for as low as $10.
    Hope this helps.

    My thoughts for what's it worth would point you to a wifi dongle 811n type.
    I think the router transmission is not being picked up by the wifi driver.
    Of course you could update your wifi driver...

    You can't because you aren't an oem. You take the computer back to where you bought it and get the seller to finish setting up Windows properly.
    oem means Original Equipment Manufacturer
    The computer must be a well know brand like Dell, HP, etc.
