Laptop won't connect to Wi-Fi?

I was given a laptop and its nice (HP G7000) except it will not connect to the home Wi-Fi. It connects to my IPhones Internet and a friends Wi-Fi. So it's not the laptop. I've tried turning the Wi-Fi on and off but nothing. My iPad and iPhone work on the Wi-Fi the same with my sister and parents they've all got something connected to the Wi-Fi. I had the laptop checked and he said it wasn't the driver.

It's wireless LAN drivers are not working so try to reinstall them and after that try to connect it with internet.

I'm not sure why thats happening but if you're getting really annoyed with it then you could connect an Ethernet cable to the laptop this means that the internet goes straight into your laptop.

Cross-check the security key on the laptop with the iPhone to see if they are identical.
You may also have the choice of various channels on the Hub. If so, it's trial and error to see which channel works best.

Your laptop only has a wireless G adapter, if your home Wi-Fi is wireless N (a later version) it won't see the wireless network

You can buy a cheap USB Wi-Fi dongle and plug that in and you should be fine

  • Why won't my Iphone 4s connect to my new HP laptop? I just bought my laptop about 2 days ago and i downloaded itunes. As soon as i plugged in my iphone, a background noise popped up, and nothing happened. So i opened itunes and it would not show my iphone. Also in my computer, it did not register it either. PS: i know its not a faulty cord, because i tried 3 different ones, and every time i plug it in or unplug it makes that background noise.
  • Why won't my laptop connect to my wireless? Ok I have a ps3, iPhone and a iPad all three are connected to the Internet. However my laptop won't it say's I have Limited access. I don't understand why my laptop won't connect but the other devices do?
  • One laptop can connect to our home Wi-Fi network but no other devices can connect? We recently set up a wireless internet connection in our house. One laptop can connect to it (the one I'm currently on) but no other devices can connect to it. It says our "Network Security Key" is mismatched. I have tried typing in all the different codes on both the router and modem on both our second laptop and an iPhone 5. How can I fix this?
  • My Wi-Fi won't connect on my laptop but will connect to my other devices (an iPhone and iPad)? I have a MacBook Air. Sometimes it does connect but other times it just won't. It takes ages connecting and then in the end comes up with the exclamation mark or is just blank. Is this a problem with my laptop? I've tried researching the problem but have found nothing.
