Packard Bell Easynote L...

Got a Belkin 3G wireles router.

There used to be a wireless signal in the bottom RHS of the screen showing the signal (usually excellent) however this has vanished... I have tried Fn F2 (the on/ off for the wireless) however it still won't work!!!

I think I have deleted one of my drivers...

Help!!

type in the ip address of the router usually 192.168.0.1

in the router config should be an option to turn the wireless back on..

failing that, just reinstall the router SW

Tried the 192.168.0.1 part and no joy - could not display the page...

The router config part - tried reinstalling the router - even bought a new one just in case, however no joy...

i think what they are trying to advise you is to look at the bottom of the router and it will tell you what an admin username and password is, and the IP address of the router. (Netgear are normally 192.168.0.0)

Type the above into a web browser and go from there. If you are not connected to a wireless network, you will need to connect yourself directly into your router via an ethernet cable......

Hope this helps....

You are right however the problem is that the wireless signal to the bottom RHS of the screen has vanished and I cannot switch it back on (Fn & F2..)

If the lappies wireless adapter isn't working which sounds like it as the function key to turn it on isn't doing anything, then you need to reinstall the wireless network adapter driver. This has nothing to do with the router, although make sure the router's wireless access point is on and the security is still ok.

OS is operating system, XP/Vista etc.

Yeah, this is what I thought - how do I reinstall the network adapter driver?

Do a right click near where the wireless thing was, and select Customise Notifications. You might have selected it to not show in the task bar.
Thats if your on Windows XP.

start/connect to/show all connections/ right click the wireless connection and choose properties then click on show icon in task bar. (windows xp)
