Unplugging the receiver and plugging it back in; searching for networks. It can't find mine, but my other devices have no issues. (iPads, iPhones, etc.)
First make sure that the receiver is within the broadcasting range of the signal.
Then check the wifi antenna on the receiver...mount it up high.
Access your network router setup interface and make sure the settings allow for the broadcast SSID to be visible and that MAC address filtering is turned off.
Your other devices will still be able to connect with the aforementioned settings enabled if they were set up previously to do so, that is why they would be able to connect and your receiver cannot. For setup of new devices to the network, anything that would secure the network needs to temporarily disabled to allow the initial connection.

Mike,
Thank you very much for your quick response! What concerns me is the fact that I haven't had this issue since I've owned this receiver the last 4 months (Sorry for not clarifying this earlier). It just lost connection and wouldn't even recognize that I have Internet available anymore. It wouldn't even recognize others (every other device I have recognizes these others-neighbor's, etc.).
Ive done some research and am finding that these Marantz receivers are prone to these types of gremlins. Most people advise to unplug them completely and then plug them in again. I did this the first time with no change, then did it a couple of hours later for a bit more than 30 seconds and it worked. I did not have to re-enter my internet security code, either.
I've had my receiver lock up on a couple of occasions, to the point where no buttons on the receiver or the remote would work at all, not even the on/off button on the receiver. Again, I had to unplug the receiver and plug it back in to resolve the issue. I called the Audio store where I purchased the receiver and they told me that this Marantz SR5009 receiver has some pretty advanced electronics in it, and sometime they can get confused. Not exactly what I wanted to hear after paying $900 for it.
