    Hi ranger7,

     

    1. Are you trying to connect your wireless Windows 7 computer to the wireless network?

    2. Is it a laptop with a built in wireless adapter or a desktop with an external wireless USB adapter?

    3. If it is a laptop, which mostly has a built in wireless adapter, you may consult the device user manual.

    4. If it is a the latter, please make sure that the drivers for the wireless adapter is installed.

     

    Regards,
