    Hello thejanester101,

    As a first step, you can try resetting your router. Do this by un-plugging the power cord connected to your wireless router, wait around 30 seconds, and re-connect it. Your computer should be able connect then.

    I have had this problem with mine but doing the above post works but for a long term solution I would use your internet browser and enter the IP address then enter the username and password then there should be link saying 'test connection' test it and then follow the on screen instructions

    Hope this helps,
    Josh
