    Unable to connect to the internet
    Hi
    I have an old eMachines laptop that I received with a faulty power button, I fixed the problem and did a clean windows install on it, installed every single driver on it and it works splendidly but when I try to connect to my wireless network it gives the following error "Unable to connect to the internet", I tried connecting it with a cable to the router and it works, and made a hotspot with my phone and connected it that way and the same no problems except when I try with the wireless on the router. Other devices connected to it work perfectly.
    Any idea what the problem might be ?
    Thank you

    Check the wireless encryption key is correct.
