Emailing for my brother in-law who lives too far from me to go look. He has a laptop and using a wireless router but now he can not connect to the Internet. He had to format due to a virus, after that no connect, he even bought another router, has called Time Warner but still unable to connect to the Internet. My sister said Time Warner walked him through step by step and they ran a check and connection is very good.......I have never used a wiresless router but to me it sounds software related maybe? I know she said the software was installed........any ideas or questions I could ask him to troubleshoot maybe? Also they used a ethernet cable and was able to connect to the Internet if I heard her right. Also I think he has comnnected to the net breifly but then is dropped but I am unsure about this part. Sorry I can't tell you more, but if he has a good signal according to Time Warner but unable to connect, and even bought a new router.......thanks!
