Run the cable from your router to your laptop and see if you can get on the internet. If not, then you have an ISP problem. If yes, your wireless configuration is incorrect.
Check and make sure the drivers are still installed for your ethernet card. Doing the restore might have un-installed them. If no, then you will have to re-install the drivers. Good luck, let us know.
