Wireless internet issues

[sega]

HI,
I have a 2 wire modem and router thing and the light next to wireless is off
and I cant get the internet on my other computer to work. Can you help me?

Who set up the system in the first place?

"Can't get to work" is not very helpful either. "Can't" can mean anything from your inability to double-click with a mouse to some complex driver conflict..

Sorry,
I set it up. It was working yesterday and then it quit. I have no clue why.

Thanks

power it off, wait 1 minute, and then power it back on

I tryed that. No luck. My PC doesn't pick up the signal from the modem.

try pressing the reset button on the back of the modem?

or the router if u have one? which was not stated.

Yes. If you set it up, maybe there was some mistake somewhere. Read the router manual about how to do a factory reset and start over.

Also, make sure you set up wireless encryption with a good password and change the router admin password. Maybe someone found your unencrypted(?) network and decided to play a prank on you..

Actually, I went to gateway.2wre.com and looked around. I clicked something and now it works.
