WGR614v10 to WN311B adapter

[Micael411]

OK, hopefully someone here can help...

My landlord downstairs has set up a guest network for me from his WGR614v10 so I can ditch my dsl and just pay him. First I tried using my WNR2000 router to act as a receiver (bridge?) but messed it up and couldn't even access the router config anymore, had reset to factory settings.

I bought a WN311B PCI adapter, but I can not connect. My laptop works fine, and after a bit I got my nook to work. We've gone through having an open network with no encryption to currently trying with WPA2-PSK. If I try to connect with Win 7 it just says "Windows is unable to connect to network." Troubleshooting just says to restart the router.
If I try NetGear's Smart Wizard it will detect the network fine in setup, and say the signal is at 79-80%. But at the "Settings" tab, it just says "scanning" in the status bar, it always says channel 6, and shows signal at 1 dot.

I did very briefly get it to work when I first tried the new adapter. Windows even asked me what type of network this was (Home/Work/Public) but when I tried to open a web browser it was not working anymore.

I don't think it's range as my laptop and nook work. I can get it to connect to my WNR2000 router, so I don't think it's necessarily the adapter.

Thanks for anyone that can help!
