Hey i just setup a wireless network at home and ran into some trouble. I installed my router and wireless card and everything was going great. My comp saw the router and i had full signal with 80-90% quality. But when i went to open IE no go. Then i tried steam and still nothing. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hey, have you tried shutting down and restarting?  Also, try piugging in your laptop to the router with a cable to see if you can get on then.  If that's the case, then your card and your firewall may not like each other.

You should be more like Cantrip.

is your network even encrypted??

75% of people who set up a wireless network don't secure them
