WI-FI connection problem?
My Dell laptop connects to my router, no problem. But my Toshiba sees various connections, but wont connect, it used to work fine, checked device manager and there are no problems there, have tried everything, it keeps saying unable to connect. Any ideas people. Thankyou.

Tried resetting the Toshiba? [Joke. But if you called an Indian Call Centre, you would of got that]
Anyway.
It's because you have WPA2 security on your router and your Toshiba can't handle WPA2. You need to make the security WPA.
Fiddle with the security settings. I bet you it's that.
TRY not going for WEP. As it is the weakest encryption around.

Hi .
Your router obviously works fine.
Your laptop wireless must be on or you would not see any connections. (are you sure ??)
So i would say it is a connection profile problem.
Just right click the network icon ( bottom right) select connect to network , select yours from the list " if" you are asked for the wep
key you will find this number on the back of your router.
After doing this you may have a prompt to save this connection
profile say "yes" in order that you do not need to manually connect
each time you turn your computer on .
Ps if after all this you still have problems please turn on / check your network discovery settings
Just type "disc" into control panel . And allow network discovery even if only temporally.
As long as you laptop wireless is on this will not fail - unless you have
a hardware fault.
The manual wireless on/off is next to the red light on my laptop.
