My laptop won't connect to my wireless network?

A firewall wouldn't block your device.

If, however, you're unable to connect because your NIC is not on a MAC address whitelist, then you will need to log into the router with a machine that is on the whitelist and add the MAC address of your machine to the whitelist.

Or if it's an IP address whitelist, you'll need to configure your machine to use a static IP address and then add that address to the whitelist while logged in with a machine that is already on the whitelist.
