    Just purchased model A0532h-2588. Recognizes home wireless network but will not connect. Two computers (Dell and Toshiaba Laptops) are up and running through this D-Link wireless router. Never had problems. Not really getting error messages. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    Is your router set up for WEP or WPA?
    In Windows, when you click on that connection source (router), there is a panel to the left (assuming XP) that allows you to change. It is under Related Tasks. It says "Change advance settings". Highlite your wireless connection. Click on Wireless Network Connection and the Wireless Networks tab. Either click on your connection (highlight) or create (add) an new connection. It should then show your network. After clicking on the properties for that connection, how many characters can you use for the network key.
