Problems with wireless

I am having some problems with my wireless.

I bought a Netgear router DG834G and installed it fine on my computer. However, I am unable to access it wirelessly. I have set up a network key & when I try to connect it says 'Limited or No connectivity'-does anyone know what I am doing wrong or how I can solve this?

Many thanks

    Sounds like you are entering the key incorrectly. Get yourself a long random key from here and save it to a file so that you can copy and paste the key when required. Use WPA-PSK encryption. You have enabled the wireless in the router haven't you?

    Yes, it's all enabled. I'll try using the WPA-PSK encryption, thanks
