any suggestions?


Thanks
 
TBH i would ditch the netgear utility and use Windows own wireless set up, a lot easier.

Disconnect the wire, windows should then automatically show that there is a network available, click connect and enter your password.
 
Not too familiar with Windows 7, But if you double click the network symbol in the bottom right and click connect to a network it should show up with the wireless network box.

(Maybe someone with Windows 7 can help out here though)
 
As mentioned, uninstall the Netgear utility then reboot. Once rebooted you ill see the little network icon at the bottom with a goldish circle in the middle of it which indicates that their are wireless networks within the range. Click on the icon and then highlight your wireless network, connect & enter your password.

Stating the obvious but make sure that your wireless passkey is correct too.

Click to expand...

single click and the panel pops up showing available connections.

Yeah, ditch that so-called 'assistant'. It doesn't exactly seem to be providing much 'assistance' if it requires you to specify the length of your key in bits. Using Windows will be much simpler.
