Agree with and : this is most commonly a DHCP/IP assignment problem (laptop talks to the AP but never finishes getting a valid IP). Follow this short, prioritized troubleshooting plan to isolate the cause and fix it.

  1. Quick isolation (find whether the router or the laptop is at fault)
  • Reboot modem+router, then test that another device (phone or another PC) gets an IP and internet.
  • If other devices work, the issue is the laptop; if they do not, check the router DHCP settings or reset the router.
  1. Laptop checks (do these in order)
  • Remove the saved wireless profile for the SSID and reconnect (Windows > Manage wireless networks / Forget network).
  • Temporarily uninstall any old wireless adapter drivers or utility software left from previous USB adapters; in Device Manager enable "Show hidden devices" and remove ghost network adapters.
  • Update the wireless driver from the laptop/vendor site (Atheros driver updates matter).
  • Turn off adapter power-saving in Device Manager (Properties → Power Management).

  1. Quick command-line repair (run as Administrator, then reboot)

    ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh int ip reset
netsh winsock reset

  2. Advanced checks if still failing

  • Try a wired connection to the router. If wired also fails to get an IP, inspect router DHCP (enabled, pool size, MAC filtering).
  • Temporarily assign a compatible static IP on the laptop (use an unused address in the router's LAN, correct subnet mask, gateway and public DNS like 8.8.8.8) to test connectivity.
  • Check wireless security mode on the router (use WPA2–AES if possible) and disable any "guest/isolated" SSID or MAC filtering.

If these steps do not resolve it, capture and post a fresh ipconfig /all and the laptop's Wireless Adapter driver version—that will point to the next specific fix.

It appears you have two wireless adapters and a wired Ethernet adapter. It looks like one of your wireless adapters associated with an AP but was unable to negotiate an IP lease with the DHCP server on your network.

You need to figure out why your NIC is not properly completing the lease process.

All I have is a belin n 150 router connected to my cable modem. i had tried with a wireless belkin adaptor model F7D1101v1, which is not connected now.

Make sure DHCP is enabled on your router and all your computers and all should be fine.
