I am totally unable to use the Internet on my wife's computer, and I have not any idea as to how to fix this. Her computer is clearly connected to the WiFI from our router, but as soon as I try to use it on-line, i get a message that I need to visit a page about connecting to the Inet. Clicking on that link or entering a page to visit brings up a page about installing the router on a phone.

I have restarted the computer, which always clears anything of this nature on my computer, including whatever it was that I encountered some six hours or so earlier today, but which had no effect on the computer in question. I even turned it off and restarted it, and I still face the inanity of being told to install the router on a phone. I have exhausted my slim list of what to do to fix the problem, so am here yet again to request assistance from those who have a vaster knowledge of fixing what seems to me to be absurd interference with using the computer that is in question.

I cannot state affirmatively that this is the most aggravating problem on-line I have encountered since joining the predecessor of the Internet, CompuServe in October, 1983 (I am fairly sure it was in a month of October, and was probably that year.) I have, or course, encountered other impediments in computing, but this must be, ifinot the worst one, near the top of a list if I had one
