    Can't connect to my wireless Network anymore.
    Hello,

    Firstly, my apologies if this sounds like a really stupid situation, and I'm sorry if I don't explain it correctly.

    My PC used to be connected to a router (That has around 5 house computers connected to it as well) through a wireless connection to this "Lynksys" network administrated by my brother. However around a month ago he decided to take my PC off the network and I have no clue how he did it, or how to manage to get back in.

    The case now is that I'm using the family's laptop and it's connected to Lynksys through wireless (And I'm able to access to it's internet), and I notice the password is the same. I also noticed there's an additional "1394 - Connection" and I was wondering if it could be related to how this laptop is able to connect to Lynksys and my PC can't. Or if there was any way for my PC to have internet through this laptop's network connection.

    (As a side note, I did search up on how to connect to two wireless networks simultaneously, but apparently it's impossible :( )

    Again, my apologizes and thank you in advance for looking upon this situation.

    You can use a MAC address filter to block access. Your brother may have done this.

    If he is the owner of the connection (person who pays the bill) then he has the right to block you. It sounds like he is not happy with your right now.

    No, he doesn't pay the bills, my parents do. Please don't assume or even care about that problem, it's a common brother-sister situation. He's childish and my parent's don't know enough about computers to stop him.

    I've asked two specific questions, is there any way for me to access back into the network or get internet through my laptop?
