Bought new laptop w/W7; can't connect to router
I'm not a tech guru, but managed to set up my router which is working fine on my current laptop. Both desktop, router and old laptop all run XP.
Now I bought a shiny new laptop with Windows 7, and I can't connect. I've tried auto connect, manual connect...entering the Key each time...and it won'd go. I called the store and they said maybe my router won't work with Windows 7. Can this be?
When I set up router, I secured it (don't ask me how...followed some instructions I got from the Internet which I've since discarded), but here's the specs:
Key Provided Automatically: (802.1x): 0
Network Authentication Type: open
Data Encryption Type: WEP
Connection Type: ESS
Can someone help?
