The wireless connection issues through the router can be caused by not
deleting other networks under preferred network.

To delete other networks under preferred network, please follow these
steps:

1. Click on the Start menu and select the Run option.
2. After the "Run" window appears, type control ncpa.cpl into the
"Open" field, then click Ok.
3. When the "Network Connections" window opens, right click on the
Wireless Network Connection and go to Properties.
4. After the "Wireless Network Connection Properties" window opens,
click on the Wireless Networks tab.
5. When the "Wireless Networks" area opens, look for Preferred
Networks section.
6. Highlight the wireless networks and then click on Delete or Remove
option.
7. Restart the computer.
8. After deleting the preferred network; click Add and type in the name
of your wireless network.
9: If you are using WEP as an encryption; uncheck the key is provided
for me automatically and manually type in the network key.
10. Click Ok all the way out and connect to your network.
