Hello and welcome to TSF Lynda.

Just to rule out a hiccup with your router, which does happen on occasion, unplug the power for the router, wait a minute, then plug it back in. After the router has finished powering back up (wait several seconds), try reconnecting with your wireless by right-clicking the wireless icon in your system tray (by the clock on the lower-right) and select "Repair".

See if this helps.
