    what kind of laptop - how old ?

    it maybe something simple . some laptops have a switch on the side and function key and f2 usually enable/disable the wireless ?

    is your wifi present in the bottom right hand corner ?

    is it visable/enabled in your bios ?

    it could be the wifi card .. replacement can cost just a few bucks on ebay . can usually be swapped out fairly easily .....

    you say "had it checked says laptop is fine" - checked by what?

    have u tried switching on and off the router you are trying to connect to?

    Its about 5 yr old i think

    Under the right hand side it has two icons saying Network unplugged

    I have a ipod touch which connects to router no problem

    Had it checked by neighbour who does some computer work
