Welcome to LQ

But please don't resurrect old threads like this one. Just start a new thread (With a suitable title).

That said, we need more information (as usual):

1] What is your wireless chipset? ( lspci or lsusb will probably list it, then copy and paste the relevant part of the listing here).

2] What is your linux distro (I'm guessing one of the 'buntus).

3] What is the LAN IP of your router (maybe something like 192.168.1.1, or just tell us exactly what model it is)

4] Please give us a link to your router's online manual as a PDF (usually on its manufacturer's website)

5] What are the outputs the following commands:

sudo iwlist scan
ifconfig
