I have had issues with two Windows 7 machines connecting to the TG582n router.
They will connect, ask for the key, login (as it were) and then never get a DHCP address.
Setting a manual IP doesn’t work and neither does the Microsoft KB for the BcastFlagToggle thing.
On the laptop I reinstalled windows and it fixed it, but I don’t really want to do that for the PC.
Given I have connected to many networks in the past (at least 15 on the laptop) it points to the router doing something dodgy.
Is there a firmware update for this thing?
Mine is currently 8.4.4.J
Thanks

It could be this router is very specific to a certain thing in Windows and starting with a clean slate allowed it to work.
Either way though, this router is heavily outnumbered by ones that worked instantly and without fault.
On our iPad it stopped working after a day and I had to tell it to forget the network then add it again. Not a big deal as its been ok since, but again says this router, certianly in its current config is far from perfect.

At least I can cross that off the list of possible solutions.

As a last resort I'm going to go get a new wireless card. Mine isnt N anyway so if it doesn't fix it, I will justify it to myself as an 'upgrade'
After that its a Windows re-install, but something is dodgy making me resort to this on two known good machines.

Have you checked for any updated drivers for your windows 7 machines. Reinstalling w7 and then wireless is working, is inductive of driver, settings, windows update or lastly windows settings issues.
