Here are the questions to ask and things to check...
- Do you have access to the router?
- Is it functioning properly?
- Can you log into the management screen at http://192.168.1.1 (default setting)?
- Is the router getting a WAN IP address?
- Can you ping out from the diagnostic screen?
- Can you see other wireless clients connecting?
- Did you reset the router?
- Can you see the network from Windows?
- Is Windows wireless zero configuration running?
- Are you using the correct SSID to connect?
- What errors are you seeing in the Windows event logs?
- Are you connecting at all?
- Can you connect using a LAN cable instead of WiFi?
I would try powering off the router for 30 seconds, then powering back on. Then from Windows remove the wireless network and re-add it.
If that doesn't help you'll need someone to look things over since troubleshooting on a forum such as this will be difficult.
