Did you remember to install the internet onto your motem? The internet is pretty big, so it could take a while to finish installing. Maybe you just have to wait a little longer.

If you have an ethernet cable, plug the laptop directly into the router. If you can connect to the internet try shutting down your firewall and then connecting wirelessly. If this works, be sure to turn the firewall back on after you've connected. If this does not work and you cannot connect when attached directly to the router, move the cable to your modem and try connecting. If it does not connect, remove the power from both the Modem and the router. Wait a couple of minutes then first restore the power to the modem.. wait until you have a connection and restore the power to the router. This should correct your problem.

Test your Modem - Get a Cat 5 cord and disconnect the Wireless device and plug in your laptop. Start your laptop. It should connect to the internet or you might find that you need to sign in to your ISP provider. Sometimes it will not show on the wireless. If you can connect then shut down and reconnect your wireless device. If you still cannot connect through the wireless you should check to see if your anti virus software has turned on the firewall on the laptop. Your wireless should have a firewall so you do not need it on the laptop and it causes problems with connecting to the wireless. I hope this works.

Make sure the WLAN switch by the left side on your PSP is on 1. When prompted with internet connection settings, choose new connection and Scan for Wireless access points. 2. Choose connection with no security and good signal strength, save your settings 3. Select your new made connection

first try is find the icon in the tray on the bottom right for your wireless internet or go to it using the control panel/network connections. Right click and select "repair" it should fix your problem.

Try unplugging the modem and the router and plugging them back in. Reboot them. My mother had the same problem sometimes they update the Modem and you need to reboot things to get it to come back up.

I hate Linksys.
We had to uninstall and reinstall ours and play around with it to finally get it to work.
