You can connect an Ethernet (i.e. Cat 5 cable) from your router or internet modem directly to your laptop or desktop. If you are not able to connect to the internet this way, the problem is your association to the Isp, not the wireless network. If it's an Isp issue, first turn off your internet modem and then your wireless router for a few minutes. Then plug them back in. Sometimes you have to reset the association to your Isp and turning off your modem does this. If you still can't get a signal, then call your Isp.
