Some setting must have changed. Suggest:
* Checking the wireless router status screens to see if any
security is on (e.g., WEP, MAC filtering).
* Uninstalling and reinstalling the USB Wi-Fi adapter.
* Resetting the wireless router to hardware defaults
and starting over.
Disable all security settings when troubleshooting.
