Wireless turns itself on at 5pm??????

Four days ago I moved my office into another room. Previously my Belkin router was plugged into the computer however I am now using a D-link usb wireless network card. Unfortunately although the wireless card can see the wireless network it won't connect to it.

If I try to connect directly through internet explorer it gives the problem of;

"the network key on the computer does not match the key settings on the wireless router"

However on checking they are the same.

If I try to connect through the wireless network;

"waiting for the network"

For a minute or so and then just stops.

If I try to repair connection it just says it can't.


AT 5PM EVERY NIGHT THE PROBLEM SOLVES ITSELF.

My wireless laptop remains uneffected.

I have tried reinstalling the D-link card.
I have downloaded the updated software from the D-link website.

Anything else anyone can think of would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

    have you checked to see if you have setup any restrictions on times of use by mistake.... I know that NETGEAR has an option to do this

    The router or on the wireless card? I have tried looking for this option but can't find it, but not sure I am looking in the right place.
