    I have had a Netgear wireless router for over 1 year with no problems. All of a sudden I can't get the internet on my laptop. The laptop says it's not connected and networks are available. When I click the Netgear1 button, it says it's connecting, but it can't. When I diagnose the problem it says, the wireless network key is not correct. From there I'm lost. The main computer is fine. I tried unplugging the router and that did nothing. Netgear will help if I pay anywhere from $40 to 100. I am not a computer expert, so if you can help, please take that into consideration. Any help will really be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Please elaborate a little more your question.

    Which OS are you using ?
    Did you try connecting with cable direct from the router? (just to check that internet works with the LAN card)
    Have you changed SSID in your router ?



    Regards
