Verify that you are using the proper cables for your Internet connection type. Your
computer might have a dial-up modem and an Ethernet network adapter (also called a
network interface card, or NIC). A modem uses a standard telephone cable, whereas the
network adapter uses a network cable, to connect to a local area network (LAN). Do not
connect a telephone cable to the network adapter, and do not plug a network cable into a
telephone service line; doing so might damage the network adapter.
Run the wireless setup wizard:

If your system has an external antenna, try to move the antenna to a better position. If the
