Ok I connected my router to my interenet connection, and interenet is working fine on my PC. When I try to connect to the router wirelessly it works. But it says that my signal strength is excellent, however status is weak or no connectivity. I had this problem with my school wireless connection too, but I ignored it then. Can anyone help me out?
Do I have to update my wireless card driver, if so help me out cause I don't know what kind of wireless card I have.
EDIT: I have Buffalo Wireless G 123 for my router, I don't know if you need to know that or not.

Thank you in advance.

1) Is the router set up for DHCP?
2) How's your desktop configured, static or dynamic IP?
3) how's your laptop configured, static or dynamic IP?
