Basically I cannot connect and get internet access. I have reset the router by removing the power cord and leaving it for over a minute. I am pretty much unable to get windows to see the wireless connection, and my laptop upstairs can connect to it just fine. The laptop runs vista. The odd thing is that I did get to see the wireless connection, but when I tried to connect it said that I had typed in a mismatched key. I'm sure it was the right key and to test it I removed the passphrase from my laptop's connection and retyped the one I thought to be correct. It was. Now I am unable to find the wireless connection at all, even though it is only 1 room over. When I had the connection the signal strength was at 4-5 bars.
Now I had just moved this computer to a new house and it had worked fine in a previous house so it has worked before. I am currently running windows 7. I also thought it may be a broadcasting issue as that has been a problem before, so I typed in the exact same SSID and passphrase and type of encryption that my laptop was using to connect, but I still can't get anything even though I set up the connection correctly.
I'm using a Zotac 9300 ITX wi-Fi motherboard with its included wireless adapter. It reads VIA usb wireless adapter. The driver I used was for vista, but my wireless connection was working in the other house earlier so that shouldn't be it.
The router is a WRT54GS. It's an old model, but I think it's pretty similar to the one I was using at the other house.
Any thoughts? Someone suggested that it may be cordless phones on another forum, but I don't even have any cordless phones in my house. Both router and computer are in the basement separated by the stairs and only about 15 feet.

. Read the guide but it doesn't seem to match my issue.
