i recently got a dell laptop and the wireless internet worked wonderful at first...then a few months ago it started to drop the wirless internet and connect back...now it will not connect at all.  I have typed in the right WEP and still seems not to work. All the other laptops in the house connect fine.  The laptop has Vista and the wireless signal is stong, so I do not know what to do to get the internet back working... 😞

What is the brand and model of that router?

You are aware that WEP can hacked into in minutes?

Try removing the wireless profile (Control Panel -> Network & sharing center -> manage wireless networks, then remove "your" network) then go back to the Connect to a network screen, connect to your router and type in the password provided on the wireless router.

A lot of times the wireless profile in windows can get corrupt and readding it fixes it.
