Have you tried connecting the laptop directly to your modem?
Just a suggestion to try narrow down the problem.
- Have anyone messed with the router's settings recently? (As in, before running into the problem)
- Have you ever had problems connecting your laptop to the net using wireless before?
- Have you tinkered with any internet related settings on your laptop recently?
You might also want to try connecting using safe mode as well, to discard any possible programs that might be hindering the connection.
And, while unlikely, you might want to make sure your laptop is on range. Some laptops (IE, mine) haves incredibly crappy wifi range. And sometimes, even while the laptop shows a "strong signal", I tend to get an awfully slow connection that is fixed by getting closer to the router.
Also, computer specs.
PS: Is your laptop a Sony VAIO by any chance?
PSS: I'm assuming you had the connection working on your laptop prior to running into this problem. Am I wrong?
