I recently purchased a HP dv7 and I can't connect to my wireless network.

I can connect using a wired connection, and I am able to access the internet. But when I try and connect wirelessly, I can't access the internet. It says I'm connected, but with limited access.

I have two other computers, one running windows xp and the other ubuntu. Both are able to connect wirelessly.

I have run the vista diagnostics, and repairs, but none of them have solved the problem.

I've also talked to the hp tech support, but they didn't help at all.

Where should I go from here?

The first thing I recommend is to reset the router to its default configuration. This can be accomplished by holding the reset button located on the back of the router for approx. 30 seconds. After the router has been reset, connect using a wired connection and configure the router as needed.

Thanks for the reply.

I've actually tried that a couple times, but it didn't work.

I haven't tried that, and I don't know how to.
I do know that my network is using DHCP

Thanks for the help. I figured out the problem.

On the properties section for the wifi card, I didn't have the ipv4 on DHCP
