There's a lot of things it could be.......have you disabled Windows Firewall? I would do so, as long as you replace it with another firewall. Your best way to get things set up is to disable all the security measures on the router (again as long as you have a firewall) and turn on SSID broadcast. With any luck Windows should pick it up automatically and you can go from there.
