  • Sorry, dumb blonde here (and over 50 as well, what hope have I got). By router corner, do you mean switch off the router and switch it back on ?

    restart the laptop
  • Rebooted the laptop but still won't log on. I'll have to wait until the morning to reboot the router, to avoid the anarchy that will break out if the connection is interrupted now !!

    Thank you for your help - may be back tomorrow evening
  • Hi, I've rebooted everything but the situation is the same - everything is connected on the wireless network, including the laptop with excellent signal strength - I just can't get the laptop onto Firefox or IE.
