Default Wireless connected - excellent signal - still cannot use


According to my computer I have an excellent signal and the computer says it
is connected but when I try and use the internet with a browser or anything
else the internet connection is not found.

Seems like there is something minor keeping me from bringing the two together.

Is anyone willing to help me out with some remote assistance or further
information?

Hi,
Seeing signal in the Wireless configuration application, or reading
somewhere in the system that you are connected, does not mean that you
actually have a functional Wireless connection.
If you can use the Internet with your Wireless Computer, the Wireless
connection is OK. If you do not have an Internet connection available, a
simple way to ascertain that you have a connection is to try to use the
Internet Browser in a Wireless Client computer and find out if you can
connect to the Router's (Access Point) Menus (see your hardware manual for
the Router's IP Address, the login name and the password).
If you cannot connect to the Router this might help.

Once the Wireless is actually connected, you need to configure each computer
Sharing settings. May be this can help http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html
