If router is ok and issuing IP address via DHCP, drivers for usb dongle installed and hardware detected, have you chosen a network SSID to connect to and then entered the security pass code?

a lot of HP users are experiencing this problem after an HP update. I use an HP 1000 notebook. Here is what worked for me
Restart you computer and press f8 during startup. From the menu that appears select "Disable Driver Signature Reinforcement". When the windows is started you should have your WiFi back.
This is a temporary fix, you'll have to do this every time you start your computer.

What model/brand is the wifi, is it a ussb internet device or are you using a dongle through a separate modem? What is your OS?
