I have a DLink G604T ADSL modem / router. The wireless network adapter in my laptop is a Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG 802.11 b/g

I recently upgraded the G604T's firmware to version V2.01B01T01.RU.20060109

I can no longer connect via wireless to the Internet. In fact Windows XP does not even see the network! I can connect using an Ethernet cable.

I have upgraded the network adapter's driver to version 9.0.4.33. This has not helped


Any suggestions to solve my problem?
 
Make sure Network/SSID broadcasting (or similar) is enabled on the router. Also check the security settings on the router, any WEP or WPA encryption that you would need to mimic on the wireless card?

Besides that there could only be a MAC filtering list on the router, but not very likely if you haven't changed anything yourself.

I see you could connect fine before.. in that case it's probably not any of the above, unless someone else set your network up for you.
