    Go to device manager and see if there are any yellow or red exclamation marks. If so you need to install the drivers for it.
    Run IPCONFIG from a command prompt and post results here.

    Try going to control panel and disable your windows firewall and any firewall software you may have on your system. Try to connect again. If you are able to connect and finally able to browse, you've moved on to firewall configuration issues.

    Wireless issues that can be fixed by using these steps
    (Limited or no connectivity, Connected but no data transfer, Can't connect to access point/router, etc...)

    *Close all active applications
    *Click Start -> Control Panel -> Network Connections
    *Right click Wireless Network Connection, select Properties, Wireless Connection Properties window appears
    *Wireless Connection Properties should contain at least three tabs (General, Wireless Network, Advanced)
    **If Wireless Network is not present do steps below
    ***Close Wireless Connection Properties window
    ***Click Start -> Run, Type: services.msc, click ok
    ***Services window should appear
    ***Scroll all the way down and locate Wireless Zero Configuration
    ***Right click Wireless Zero Configuration, select Properties
    ***Make sure that the start-up type is set to Automatic, change if not
    ***If Wireless Zero Configuration service is started or stopped, re-start or start service
    ***Close Services windows (Wireless Network tab should now be activated)
    **If Wireless Network tab is present continue below
    *Click on Wireless Network tab
    *Make sure that there's a check mark on the "Use Windows to configure my wireless connection automatically"
    *In the Preferred Networks list, make sure that the box is empty, if not delete all access points found
    *Just below the Preferred Networks list box, click on the Advanced button, a small window will appear
    *Select the first option - Automatically connect to preferred networks
    *Put a check mark on the last line that says - Connect to non-preferred networks
    *Click close
    *Click Ok on the Wireless Network Properties
    *Go back to Control Panel -> click System -> System Properties window will come up
    *Click on Hardware tab -> click on Device Manager button, Device Manager windows come up
    *In Device Manager, click on the "+" beside Network Adapters to expand contents
    *Right click and select un-install the Wireless Network device and confirm removal on the warning window
    *Close all active windows
    *Restart laptop/pc
    *Upon startup, found new hardware will appear
    **If no, found new hardware appears, the driver has already been installed automatically and should continue with the next steps
    *Windows should automatically re-install the Wireless Network Device drivers
    *Upon completion of installation, a pop-up window will appear stating "One or more wireless networks detected, click here for more options"
    *Click on the balloon to bring up the "Available Wireless Networks Windows"
    *You should now be able to see all available Wireless Networks in range
    *Select desired Access Point to connect to then once connected, you should be able to browse the internet with no problems

    ***These steps should be able to resolve all if not most of the wireless issues encountered
