I updraded my D-Link dir-625 wireless router to V3.06 and now my wireless adapeter on another computer won't connect or even detect the signal. I have two laptops that connect OK. I've reloaded the adapter driver, tried uninstalling it, disabled and enabled it, changed just about every setting I could and even did a system restore on the affected computer to see if that could be the problem. I've taken all the security off the router (I live in the country with nothing nearby to pirate a signal).The little green light on the adapter flashes a few times if I reboot the computer but that's it. The ipconfig show the ethernet connection is not connected as well as the wireless. I'm at a loss except to buy another usb wireless card.
On the computer with the USB wireless card. Uninstall the wireless adapter program and use only the driver so that you can connect with the Windows wireless configuration utility. Then restart the computer and see if you are able to see the signal now. if not create a profile put in the SSID of your network and connect
Same difference it will not matter. Uninstall the program then just install the driver.
Uninstall the program then restart the computer put the CD in the drive then if the installation for the CD comes up cancel it. The found new hardware wizard should come up. Choose the No not this time then install autoamtically after that a small single computer icon should come up in the lower right corner of your screen right click then click on view available wireless networks then see if you can see a network now.
How far is the router from that computer. Make sure that the adapter antenna is screwed on securely next thing try chaging the channel on the router to 1 or 11. Also try lowering the beacon interval to 50 and fragmentation threshold to 2304 also try to point the antenna towards the router.
That will isolate if the problem is a low signal strength. Try as well to wrap the antenna in aluminum foil to boost its receiving even just a bit.
I would assume that you have completely no security on the router any longer. By the way when you said initially tha tyou upgraded the router was it a hardware upgrade or a firmware upgrade?
Just a question did you do a hard reset after the upgrade of the firmware? Most router manufacturers require a hard reset after a firmware upgrade Before the unit will work as normal? Ive experienced that a lot with Netgear and Linksys routers so i would imagine it to be the same.
Lastly make sure that the computer is atleast more than 5 feet Away from the router as signals will bounce.

Oh, it's not a USB card I'm using, my D-Link Air DWL 520 802.11b Wireless Adapter is mounted. I can try taking it out and reinstalling it.
It actually saw the network but when I tried to connect, it started to connect then stopped and now it doesn't find any networks again. Very odd.
I've tried changing the channels, no luck, Also I had "Excellent" signal strength before losing the signal.
The signal strength was "excellent" before it tried to connect. The computer is close to the router.
I looked at the log onthe router and about the time I tried to connect it showed:
Wireless system with MAC address 001195E4BDE3 disconnected for reason: Received Deauthentication.
That`s right, took off all protection. Firmware upgrade.
