If you are clicking on view wireless networks and not finding anything then morn than likely there is a setting in the router that says broadcast SSID. If that is unchecked you will not be able to see the wireless signal. Check that and you should be good to go.

Make sure that your saving the configuration. If you enabled wireless and didn't save it then it will not be on.
