Netgear piece of ...

Hey there hope this is the right place for this post.

Firewall? Security software? Use something like the free download of Network Magic to examine your setup. Usually it is something you missed. Netgear is quality, and relatively easy compared to many others.
Look very carefully at all the steps that Netgear lists in the setup. Be sure you understand them and you haven't missed something that seems minor but is really essential.
It is difficult for us to help on a network installation without seeing it. There are so very many potential issues.

Sounds like it could be an encryption issue. Are you trying to login with an incorrect password?

Is there MAC address filtering?

Too many unknowns here. Please provide more information

This could simply be a manufacturer incompatibility issue. Netgear and Linksys might have problems working together. Would not be the first time that I have heard of such a situation. I always try to stick with the same manufacturer for wireless router and adapters to help prevent these problems.
