Not sure what you mean. Does the laptop (pink, silver, or red?) see the "SSID" of your wireless network, aka network name?
2. What is the make and model number of the wireless router?

QuoteHow do I check if my system has wireless?
For Windows Vista Systems:
Click START and then right-click the COMPUTER option, and then left-click on PROPERTIES. Once the “view basic information about your computer” window appears, click on the DEVICE MANAGER option which is located under TASKS on the left hand side of the Window. At this point a USER ACCOUNT CONTROL window might appear, if so click the CONTINUE button.
A small DEVICE MANAGER window should then appear with a list of categories. Click the plus symbol next to the NETWORK ADAPTERS category, this should then list an Ethernet device, and if your system has one a wireless adapter should ALSO be listed.
How do I enable my wireless CARD?
This process will vary depending on the model of notebook. To confirm the model number please look on the bottom of the notebook:
Model VA250P / VA250D / VA250H
The wireless button on this system is located to the left of the systems main power button. To confirm that the wireless card has activated an LED will light up. This is located on a small plastic strip in the bottom right hand corner of the system (just right of the touchpad), and will have the same symbol as the wireless button.
Model 8615
To turn on the wireless card for this system hold down the FN key (should be in the bottom left hand corner of the keyboard) and then press the F1 key once. To the right of the system power button are three small buttons, and to the right of these are a set of LED’s. The first LED should light up to indicate that the wireless card has been activated.
Model 8317
Looking at the front edge of the system, on the left hand side should be three small switches. The middle switch turns on the wireless card. A small LED just above these three switches should light up, to confirm that the wireless card has been activated.
Model 330
The wireless button on this system is located to the right of the systems power button. When the wireless card is activated an LED will intermittently flash, which is located underneath the power button.
