Problem Connecting to the Internet W/ My Laptop?

Here's my situation. My Laptop was thrown and the screen got busted, It was sent to the manufacture and fixed. Well, today I got it back and I cannot connect to the Internet for some reason now. Here's what I'm looking at - I have 1 Digital Broadband RCA box, 1 Broadband Router lynksys and 1 lynksys Cisco Systems Broadband Router w/ 2 phone port. The Digital Broadband RCA box is where the Cable line is connected, and from there the internet is ran through an Ethernet wire to the rest of my Routers. Why I have two Routers I have no Idea, however, only one is wireless I believe? I've used all three of these boxes for quite some time now to connect to the internet and they've worked fine up till now. My Laptop is showing that I'm receiving a connection and Signal but is not picking it up for some reason. Says a Network Device may be Disconnected. Does anyone know what could be causing my Laptop to not connect to the internet? Thanks, I hope I can get it working =[

1. Firstly, I don't know why you are using so many routers to begin with. You only need one wireless router. When it says "the network device may be disconnect" that refers to the ethernet cable being plugged in. Have you tried to plug that in? For a wireless connection, you should go to your Network folder and tell it to "add a wireless device" or "search for a wireless device". This will vary based on what operating system you are using. Bottom line is you have to tell it to look. Depending on what model of laptop, they have a wireless 802.11 on/off button. Have you made sure it is turned on? Good luck...
