Wireless Problems - Please Help!

Hi Guys.

Yesterday I tried setting up my new Desktop PC with wireless Internet. I currently have a laptop with wireless internet using a netgear router and AOL.

I purchased a USB Wireless Adapter and installed this on the new PC. I then to begin found my connection and was up any running on the internet using Internet Explorer.

I then tried to install AOL Unsuccesfully. However since trying this I have been unable to find my wireless network again and now cannot connect to the internet at all. Not even on my laptop or phone will it even pick up my wireless connection, even thoigh the router is still plugged in and showing all the correct green lights as it was before....

Any ideas what the hell has happened? After 3 hours of trying last night I gave up...any help would be much appreciated

Many Thanks

    Why on earth did you install AOL? Do a system restore to before you added the bloatware and proceed from there.
