Network connection fail

[kennyW]

windows7 recognizes my wireless home network but is unable to connect.

Problem began two days ago. Tried system restore but no luck.

ISP : ATT DSL
Netgear 7550 wireless router
d-Link network adapter

Thanks in advance

Tried power cycling the router? Can other devices (phones, another wireless) connect?

Can it connect in Safe Mode with Networking?
How about another user account? http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/181024-user-account-create.html

wireless connection failed

Yes. Phones laptop and tablet connect wirelessly. problem is with a desktop and Dlink wireless adapter. the network adapter was checked yesterday by a Geek Squader at Best Buy. It's working.

when I use the dLink wireless connection utility it says I'm connected. But the Windows Network and Sharing Center says I'm not and fails to do so when I try.

I'll try in Safe Mode..

Try booting with Linux Mint MATE DVD/USB to eliminate hardware fault. If it is working try the next.
