| Re: Wireless connection dead need help More than likely the encryption type and/or key are not matched.
If you go to Start > Run and type cmd /k ipconfig do you get a valid IP from the router, ie. NOT a 169.X.X.X address.
Have you tried without any encryption to see if the PC connects and can access the internet? If so go back and redo the security settings again.
You also might consider resetting the router back to its factory defaults and starting over again on both the routre and PC. Don't use the repair function on the PC. I have never trusted that personally.

| Re: Wireless connection dead need help If your getting a 192.168.1.X address then your definitely connecting to the router Ok. If you go into the router do you happen to have MAC address filtering enabled? If so disable it or add the MAC address of your client to the allowed list.
I would not use the wireless hardware utility manager but use Windows to manage the card instead. If you open the wireless hardware manager there should be a setting to disable it and/or allow Windows control.
You should use WPA2-Personal (aka WPA2-PSK [AES]) if the router AND all of your clients support that. Otherwise WPA-Personal (aka WPA-PSK [TKIP]) is good. In both cases use a long random ASCII key. I use a 63-character random ASCII key and WPA2-Personal.

| To add to the comments by No_Strings as long as you use strong encryption and a long random key your safe. Hiding the SSID, as noted in the FAQ, is just smoke and mirrors and quite simply can cause connectivity issues like you had. Hre is another reference for your reading pleasure.
