I can't connect to the internet from my laptop

[KatieKyosuke]

Someone pointed out to me that this would be better in the Advice Forum, so I thought I'd post it here.

This is a continuation from the thread "I can't access my router settings."

I eventually got in and have changed my WPA-TSK code but now I can't access the internet from my laptop. It has my connection listed under the list of connections that are available but it won't connect whatsoever. I've tried rearranging the cables that plug into the router itself but that doesn't seem to be working. I've also tried unplugging it and leaving it for a while but that doesn't work either. Would it make any difference if I switched my PC (not laptop) off at the wall? Or would a system restore wotk?

Note: Please don't ask me to reset the router to factory settings as I don't know how to set it back up again.

If you don't know all the settings of your router, then perhaps you SHOULD reset to factory. If you don't know what the setting is for, then it should be set for default.

Here's a question: Do you have WiFi protected Setup on?

It's a setting on other routers besides Cisco/Linksys.

I think so.

Got it now anyway, turns out I overreacted and hadn't done something I should have. The password wasn't saved to my laptop.
