Hello, I got a computer with windows vista (this is not the computer, but it
is next to me, it got no internet so I go on this one to go on internet.) and
I wanna connect to wireless internet.
it says i need to turn on networkdetetion, but when I try to turn it on, it
won't say that network detection is allowed. I do the following: I open
networkcenter, click on Networkdetection, click Allow Networkdetection (or
whatever it may be, I have an NL pc so I try to translate it as best as
possible) and then the button [Apply] and then I type in the password, then
the computer thinks one or two seconds and reloads Networkcenter, when i look
at Networkdetection its still turned off.
Please help me and post!

You have to set up the Wireless Network in your router. You attach your
Computer(pick one of them) to the router with a Cat5 Ethernet cable, log into
the router and set up your Network Name and security Key: WEP, WPA WPA2, etc.

Once that is done, you turn on the wireless option, and you allow it to
broadcast the network, then you can log into it.

Also, some laptops have a physical switch on the case to turn wireless ON
and OFF
And, make sure latest firmware is installed in the router
And, make sure Network Adaptor in laptop has lastest Drivers
