    Hi all,

    We currently have a netgear wireless router and i am currently having trouble with connecting my dell inspiron to it. Every other laptop in the house connects to the router fine its just the dell laptop. It says limited connectivity, but it still picks up the router itself it just wont let me go on the internet.

    Your help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    I bounced around with a problem like this with a Dell laptop until I tried using WEP encryption instead of WPA. It's ridiculous since WEP is so easy to crack, but try changing to WEP or No encryption (just as a test) and see if that helps.
