A lot of built in laptops wireless card are only good on a good day for 75 feet. You may have a wireless card not strong enough to pick up the signal.Since you have this problem often. Most people I run into with this problem I advise them to use a better wireless adapter like the Hawking hwu9dd..It is a usb antenna. This is the web page http://www.hawkingt
After that they can get online.
Or the router is not giving a gateway signal. You can have a signal from the router but if it isn't online itself then no gateway address.
