From: Jack [MVP-Networking] on 2 Jan 2010 21:11 Hi internet explorer can not display any thing if there is not a valid Internet connection and a valid Wireless connection. There are two aspects to connecting with Wireless computer to the Internet. 1. You have to make sure that the Router on its Internet side (WAN) is getting a valid Internet connection. 2. That the wireless computer is indeed connected to the Router with a valid Network address (IP). Showing signal at full strength does not mean that there is actually a valid connection. I am not familiar with your Router, and as far as I know connection Doctor is a iMac application. Most Wireless Routers come with a full manual that explains the basic of the Router's configuration.
