Help with Wireless Connection!

Question

I have a Dell Inspiron 1000 notebook and it has been running slow lately, so i decided to re-install the system.  The computer itself is much faster now, and the internet connection works when i connect it with the ethernet wire, but my wireless card will not connect to my router.  I have a Dell Wireless 1350 PC card, and it is installed.  The power light is on, but the link light will not go on.  When i view wireless connection my router appears and it says it has an excellent signal, but it won't connect.  Does anyone know what to do????   I''ve been on the phone and searching the website for hours and i can't figure it out

Do you have encryption enabled on the router?  If so, have you entered the correct encryption key on the connection properities of you computer?  Are you using the Dell Utility to connect to wireless networks or the Windows wireless utiliity?   Steve

Thanks, I was actually just on the phone with Verizon DSL to see if it was a problem with my service, and he was able to fix the problem.  Just as you mentioned, it was a problem with my router.  Thanks
