hello i am using DELL INSPIRON 1525 (windows vista 32bit) and i am not able to see my wifi router( i-ball BATON 300M ADSL2+ROUTER) in available networks, whereas i can use it in my tablet and cell phone. I also tried changing channels of router but my laptop is still not detecting it. Please help me out in this.
Thanks....
 
Solution
Maybe somehoww, the wireless network is listed as hidden on ur laptop. Try going to networking and sharing centre. Then click on setup a new connection or network.Then see if it lets you connect through there.
