Look for a wireless switch or button,it might be turned off.
Try pressing "Fn" & "F2" to see if that turns it on

I agree
or also check on the router setting ssid broadcasting and make in sure that it's on

reset router, go modem to router then to laptop

also if my mind is right for a **** belkin you have to use the wireless zero software like a small pc icon on task bar?

anyways make that chain as i said and re set every thing up
