Trying to clarify...

You did have an o2 dongle - mobile broadband
Now you have - what exactly?
BT broadband installed with a wireless router?

LuckyBiscuit

Yes Bt broadband with wireless router

pcombo

best thing to do would be get an ethernet cable and attach to the laptop then u can download the wireless drivers.

Thanks

Does your laptop have wireless capability?
Some older models don't.
Even if it has you will need to switch it on.
Very often just a button on the keyboard will do that.

What Operating system does the laptop have?

LuckyBiscuit

Ok can do that where do i download it from???

pcombo

depends on the make of ur wireless adapter.

Best place is more than likely manufacturers website

Its a new notebook, bought quite recently i think one of the kids have detailed it or something.....

What OS is it running? There may well be a wireless set up wizard that will walk you through the whole process.

OK i went on to the website it downloaded a detective thing that i now have to pay for if i want to fix my probs AHHH!!!!
Im using the dongle with the BT internet that has a 500 min limit, so i cant continue to use this when i click on the wireless it says no wireless network adapter available????

Sorry if im being dum

No idea what you have downloaded or why you would be expected to pay for something.
What did you download?
What did you think you were downloading?



What dongle are you using? The o2 one?

Can you not plug the laptop into your bt router and use your bt broadband?

Then we can work through the wireless problems.
What "wireless" are you clicking on?

And what OS do you have on your laptop?
