You should have you cable mode connected to your modem. Your modem connected to your wireless router. Then you should click fn f2 to enable you network card. fn f2 turns it on and off. First make sure you can connect to your router without any security settings then once you can you can go and set up security. What router and wireless network card do you have. If you have a intel network card the intel proset is monitoring you network connection. It will have a icon in the system tray in the bottom right.

Since your modem router is not a wireless router, there is not way you can connect to it by wireless.  You will need a wireless router.   Steve
