Internet only works when connected with ethernet cable

Hi

i have an E-system 3115 laptop and have managed to connect to the internet using an ethernet cable to my Scientific Atlanta modem, but what i want to do is connect the ethernet cable to my Belkin Wireless G+ MIMO router and go online wirelessly.

I'm having problems doing this as it only seems to work when the cable is plugged into the laptop.

Thank you if you can help me.

I was reading an article on yesterday on this subject . Depending on the strength of your Wireless signal and distance between computers and any obstruction to the raido signal between wireless points ( walls , piping , water boilers , electric cables , etc ) the receiving transmitter might lose 20% connectivity with no obstruction , with obstruction it can become unusable .

I had a netgear G series on a 20mb connection - connected full capacity wirelessly sat next to the modem and router . I tested the signal drop range by moving from room to room - in some cases I barely got to the front room door and the signal became unusable . G series is for speeds of upto 20mb . I've upgraded to an N series with 50mb .

Are you setting the connection correctly to the internet gateway device ? ( Router )

Try disabling the LAN connection in Network Options in Control Panel and resetting a new connection to the Router - All Router info can be found using the IP address 198.162.1.1 ( might change with various routers ) . Make sure all router and modem information are correct and match and try connecting .
