Hi,

Have you tried restarting the router? Switch it off and then on again after a few seconds, wait till it has finished initializing and then try and connect to it.

Have you tried 'forgetting' the network in your laptop and then reconnecting to it again? You will have to enter the correct password again to connect.

What have you tried to do?

Hi,

Did you reset the router, by turning it off, waiting a few seconds and then turning it back on? You didn't say.

This action does not lose any settings in the router, it merely refreshes them which is good if some have become corrupted.
