How do I set a password on WIFI from laptop?

How do I set a password on WIFI from my laptop? I have a windows 7.

That is an easy way to set a password on WIFI, If you are using the router for the first time better refer router manual.

By default the router IP address is set by most of the companies is 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 and just enter the address in your browser and the login windows will open and username will be admin by default and for password leave blank.

If you want to set a login password you can find it in the tools section or account section. if you want to setup network passcode go for the wps/wpa/wpa2 key. When you are connecting to this router to access to Internet you need to enter this passcode to gain access through Wifi and change the login password to because some people may hack you router and wifi logon password.

Keep it note that insert special character, capital letters and small letters, numbers in the password,remember it aswell.

Wifi connected but no internet access? but other devices works?

My WIFI router connects with my laptop and says signal strength is strong but says no internet access. At the same time when router is connected with other system or mobile it works fine. I tried the same starting my laptop in safe mode, same problem. What should be the problem.

May be the problem refers to the laptop, where the WIFI drivers does not have correct drivers installed and once check with the drivers and download the latest drivers from the official website.

There might be limited access to internet users, like router was allowed to connected only 2 devices at a time or router was filtered with connections, check whether you might have given your other device mac address and your mobile mac address. There might be problem with them, if you have filtered like this you need to off the filter and but don't create like Open network.

If you changed the settings to normal and restored defaults settings in the router, if the same problem persists you need to hard reset the router once and if you don't know about that refer the router manual.

One more thing is connect your laptop through LAN, if the internet is connected and if every thing working fine you need to check with the wifi drivers, the drivers are the problem.

Ethernet cable not working?

I recently built a computer (windows 7), and connected an Ethernet cable to it through a router. I have another computer that works fine with any of the Ethernet cables, but when I try to connect it to the new computer nothing is recognized. What am I doing wrong?

You are connecting the ethernet cable to the Lan port and where you are connecting to on board LAN or the LAN card which is inserted in PCI slot.

If you are connecting to the onboard LAN, there might be problem with the LAN cable, try to insert the same lan cable to the other computer and if that not works problem with the cable, try a different cable.

If you are connecting to LAN card, check whether the lan card inserted into PCI slot correctly or not and insert the LAN cable and install the latest drivers, download from the official website.

One more thing, may the LAN card is disabled in the device manager and once check with the device manager if disabled and enable it. Install the correct drivers for you lan card then only it works perfect.

Your Computer says insert CD, what type of CD is it asking it will show any label information or it will ask for the files like sys, inf...etc. Check correctly which type of file it is asking. If it is asking to insert appropriate operating system disc, checks all the necessary files in cd and grabs that file and if asking for a drivers cd, insert it and it copies the required files to run the drivers.

If your desktop is not showing any labels or anything and its just asking for the file, you need to know that what type of file it is asking if it is a DLL, sys, inf and any other they might be important to run that particular drivers. If you need what type of file and what it is useful for. just Google it you will come to know all the details.

But ensure that download the latest drivers and install them on your system and you will get the better performance of the system.

Always try to download the drivers from the official website because they don't contain any viruses and will have the latest fixes aswell. Update Bios for better performance but at your own risk and follow the instruction correctly before going to update.
