From what you described it looks like you are connected to your wireless router but you are not receiving an ip address. Try doing the following and re-posting your results.

Hold the windows key and the "r" key. You should get a little box in the bottom left hand corner. In that box type "cmd" and hit the enter key. Now you should have a black box in front of you with a blinking cursor. Type "ipconfig" (without the " ) you should get a list of letters and numbers, copy and paste them into your next post.

It doesn't say nothing but "Windows IP Configuration".

I am not connected to the router on it, it won't even show it in range.

So you are not connected and it is not picking up a wireless signal period. What kind of notebook is it? look at the front of the notebook and on some there is a switch that turns the wireless / bluetooth off. make sure that switch is set to on. If you do not have a switch go to control panel and network connections. Make sure that the wireless connection is not disabled. Let me know your results.

When I go to the device manager it has a yellow exclamation mark on three drivers called.
