My wireless PC cannot connect to the Router.

Router, and you have the same security settings on the clients
such as WPA or WEP encryption.

Problem:
I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly.
Solution:
If you are unable to connect to the Internet from a wireless computer,
please check the following items:
1.
Look at the lights on your Router. If you are using a Belkin Router,
the lights should be as follows:
The “Power” light should be on.
The “Connected” light should be on, and not blinking.
The “WAN” light should be either on or blinking.
2.
Open your wireless utility software by clicking on the icon in
the system tray at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.
If you’re using a Belkin Wireless Card, the tray icon should look
like this.
The icon may be red or green.
3.
The exact window that opens will vary depending on the model of
wireless card you have; however, any of the utilities should have
a list of “Available Networks”— those wireless networks it can
connect to.
