My HP laptop wont connect to the internet with the ethernet I think its due to the drives but at one point it was hooked up that way and did work.
 


What has changed since it worked ?
Do you have a windows restore point to fall back on ?
 


Sorry, but I must disagree. If it worked, now doesn't something has changed.
If both ethernet & wireless were previously working.

You should check your router's settings to make sure it's accepting connections on all those types, not just N.
Look at site for the router's IP address and default login/pass.

It sounds to me like the router is operating only in N, which isn't compatible with a, b, or G. or vice versa

N has multiple input and outputs (MIMO), a/b/g does not, which causes the incompatibility.
