After a months of anticipation, I picked up my new computer last night and took it home. I am running W7 home prem. 64bit. When I try to connect to my wireless, the computer sees the router but can not connect. I know that the router is fine because my laptop that is running xp connects just fine. When I run the trouble shooting program, it tells me that the wirlesss access point is disabled...what doese that mean? can someone help me?

Hi there
Have a look here: Start > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Centre > Change Adapter Settings. Does the wireless adapter show as disabled in that list?

It tells me that I have wireless access point or router issues. wants me to reboot the modem and router but they are working fine. And I have already done that several times tonight with no success.
