      If your HP Laptop cannot connect to a WLAN, first ensure the wireless device is turned on by pressing the wireless button, wireless switch, or wireless key if the wireless light is off or amber. Then, try connecting to the WLAN again. If there is no WLAN device listed, either your computer does not have an integrated WLAN device, or the driver for the WLAN device is not properly installed.

      If your HP Laptop cannot connect to a preferred network and entering a security code is not the problem, you may have a corrupted WLAN connection.

If there is no network status icon in the notification area, go to Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center, then click Troubleshoot problems and select the network you wish to repair.

      To resolve the issue of unavailable current network security codes on your HP Laptop, for a network connected to your personal wireless router, review the router user guide for instructions on setting up the same codes on both the router and the WLAN device. For a private network, contact the network administrator to obtain the codes. You can also go to Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center. In the left panel, click Manage wireless networks. Select the network in the list, right-click the network, and then click Properties. Click the Security tab and enter the correct wireless encryption data into the Network security key box.
