no wireless network in range?

Im trying to connect to my wireless network but when i try to view available networks im told that there are no wireless networks in range??
 
Im using a Dell inspiron 6000 with a Intel pro wireless 2220 802.1 1 b/g mini PCI Wireless LAN card
 
I have configured my netgear router that i recieved from AOL. I have also followed the wireless network wizard instructions. I have been through everything that AOL have told me to do and well basically they cant do anymore and i was ask to contact the vendor as there may be a problem with my wireless adapter? i have check device manager and everything seems as it should be...no nasty exclamation marks.
 
Any suggestions would be very gratefull
 
thanks :)

    Is your router set to hide its SSID or not broadcast its SSID?

    Try using (WZC) Windows Zero Configuration to manage your network go to Network Connections, right click your wireless network connection, select Properties, click on the Wireless Network tabs and check the box next to "Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings."
