If I right click & select Repair it says disabling adapter then connecting to wireless network then renewing your IP address. It then says Windows could not finish repairing the problem because action Renewing your IP address cannot be completed. Contact the person managing your network.

I just turned the PC off and on and got the point where it asks for the router password and this time I ignored the comment that the CAPS lock was on and input the password in capitals. I pressed connect and it did it. It seems to be a combination of release renew and password in capitals. Thank you so much for all your help.
