We can start by finding out how you're actually going about connecting
in the first place. I seem to have no problem when clicking "Join" next
to the details of a specific access point under Status > Wireless >
Survey pop-up window. It will turn the Wireless > Basic Settings tab
"Wireless Mode" drop down box to "Client", and you should be able to
plug your wired network interface card into the router to access the
network. You can alternatively do this all manually under that same
Wireless tab if you like. If that's not working, more troubleshooting
questions may need to be asked. Such as what your firmware version
number is, what other settings are in place in Setup > Basic Setup
(specifically the DHCP settings), etc.
