WNR3500L v2 router not connecting to my laptop
I have a NetGear WNR3500L v2 wireless router that I am able to connect wireless to the internet to my Laptop #1 and my iPad; however, it does not connect my 2nd laptop to the internet. I know it is not my laptop because I took it to my office and it connected immediately to my wireless Linksys router and I took it to my sister's house and it connected immediately to her Cisco router, so I know the problem is with the NetGear router itself. I have done extensive research about the setting within windows and have done what is recommended and still no connection. My laptop #2 finds my internet User name and I can enter the Key Code (which I've checked and rechecked that I am entering it correctly) and it never connects. Has anyone else had this problem as I am not a computer guru and am afraid to Hard Reset my router for fear that it won't connect at all after that. I would appreciate some Step-by-Step help from a someone who is a computer guru because I am not. My last resort is calling NetGear Tech Support but honestly I don't want to shell out any money unless it is my last resort. I've never had one problem with this router until now. Thank you.

Re: WNR3500L v2 router not connecting to my laptop
My laptop #2 finds my internet User name
There is not username for connect wireless connection. Passphrase (ex. WPA, WPA2)
You have to know what encryption type you have set in the router GUI.
Log in the router GUI with browser and check.
