Check if the router is broadcasting a SSID.<br />

You say the adapter seems to be activated, can you check that the wifi adapter is powered on, you should have a light on the front of the laptop, see here: <a href="http://www.notebookreview.com/assets/6102.jpg" rel="ugc">http://www.notebookreview.com/assets/6102.jpg</a>

Hi,<br />
i know that kind of laptop have a two led buttons (one for Bluetooth (front left) and one for wifi (from right)). The problem is, if i set the wifi &quot;ON&quot;, the color of the wifi button is supposed &nbsp;to switch to red until the laptop is not connected to the wifi network... and then switch to green. But none of the two lights appear. The wifi device is an Intel Pro/Wireless 2200 BG. I think the wifi device is damaged... is it possible!?!?<br />

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
