Can you not connect your machine to your router via an ethernet cable?
Every laptop I've seen (except for maybe the new ultrabook types)
have onboard ethernet, and most wifi routers have ethernet as well...

After it was done and rebooted it asked for the authentication for the wireless network. No problem. I have Verizon FIOS and got the number off the verizon box, entered it and it connected no problem. About 10 seconds later a window said, disconnecting and said I was now offline and the add Key number window popped up again. So, I went into the settings and it even said connect automatically on startup. Hmmmm. I again entered the key code and again it connected and again it disconnected after about 10 seconds.
