@8757kathy There is two things you need when connecting to your WiFi. The SSID which is shown in my demo above 32 seconds into the video. The second is the password that is set in your router during setup. See my securing your WiFi router video on my channel.

i do this on my laptop and it does say connected, but when i try to access the internet it still doesnt let me. do you know any way to fix this?

@SuperBooyahhh More than likely your router is not handing out an IP address through the WiFi adapter. I would assume if this is the case other wifi devices will behave the same way. Either that, or your WiFi adapter is not setup to configure IP addresses via DHCP.

A lot of people are saying they are missing the icon at the bottom. This could be because the wireless network drivers are missing or corrupted even though your Laptop has a wifi switch as shown in video. This is a hardware/configuration issue which this video does not apply as this video is geared toward setting up wifi and not troubleshooting it. If this video doesn't help you usually a good way to fix things is to delete your wireless profile. Reinstall WiFi Drivers would be the next step.

@penncomputers If drivers fail then running windows repair would help restore corrupted windows file(s). I would only suggest that at this step you have a professional work on your system as if not done correctly this step can cause missing data or further damage. I will try to to get a video out on removing the wifi profile and a basic video on how to manually install drivers(intermediate level)...
