    Xp cannot connect to wireless router
    My windows xp laptop cannot connect to home wireless. Other devices like iPhone can. I have tried resetting the router, resetting regedit, deleting networks, but it still doesn't work. Please help.

    Do Wireless Networks show up on the Laptop, Wireless switch off?
    Any Security?

    Yes the connection is shown as available.

    The wireless is switched on on the laptop but not connected.

    It uses WEP/WAP security

    XP has problems with the newest WPA2 standard.
    Try WPA instead, assuming you are running SP3.
