N300 WNR2000v3 Wireless Router

I have the router working on my laptop without any problems but my other computer will not connect to the router. It says it does not detect any network adapters. So how do I get this fixed so the wireless will work on the second laptop?? Thanks for any help!

    Okay lack of details is not helping your cause, what kind of laptop is the one that is unable to connect to your router ?

    I am posting a few generic answers, since you had not describe the steps you hve taken so far in your search to make this laptop connect to your router.

    Now generally speaking, most laptops have a "physical led icon" on the main keyboard area to indicate the Wifi Adaptor is enabled, please ensure it is.

    Another way to also check is to check if the adaptor (hardware) is working properly (start > right click on "computer" > properties > Hardware > device manager, open the network adaptor section and open teh wifi adaptor shown and ensure it is "working normally".

    If you should not see a wifi adaptor, then I will suggest you reinstall the wifi drivers for your laptop.

    Now wjhat operating system are you using? is your SSID set for not broadcasting ? there are many details involved, but respond to it about your attempt and confifguration and I will try to help
