My router does not appear in the Wireless Network Connections.?

The router works, as I have it wired to my computer and I receive internet through it that way. However, when I attempt to connect to the router on another computer using the wireless usb stick provided with the router, it does not find my router.

In my router settings, the wireless is enabled and I have the SSID set to broadcast. I have tried resetting the authentication and security of the router to open, and then back to secure, and tried all of the various types of authentication, with no success. I even added the second PC’s MAC address to the allowed connections in the router, even though I am not filtering the MAC addresses. I have tried different channels, and modes. Still nothing.

I am, however, able to find several other wireless connections within my building. The router is only maybe 10 feet, if that, from the wireless USB stick, so if it can find other connections, it should find mine.

I even tried plugging the USB stick into my computer to see if it was an issue with the PC I had been using. My computer is unable to find my router through the wireless, but it finds the wired connection! I tried setting up a wireless network on both computers, and they cannot see one another. I connected to one of the other wireless networks that are open in our building, and am able to get internet that way, but I don’t feel right about doing it. I used it long enough, however, to attempt to ping one computer from another, using the command prompt, and the request timed out. I am able to ping google, though, and use the internet.

The router is a TRENDnet TEW-632BRP. I have the antennae attached to the router, and the proper software installed on my computer. Both computers use Windows XP. I have had the router working wirelessly in the past, and my Wii is currently able to access the router, even though the computers cannot. I do have a Wireless Connections icon in the Network Connections window. I am able to add my SSID through there, but it still does not appear in the Wireless Network Connections list, and I am still unable to connect to it, even when I leave the router open (unsecured).

I have attempted renewing the second computer’s IP address, clearing the address altogether, and setting it manually.

On my router’s main page, it lists my computer & IP, the Wii, and nothing else. Does that mean the router cannot see the other computer either, and it is a mutual blindness? Though, my computer cannot find the router wirelessly either, even though the router sees it (or has it added?), so I don’t see how this would change anything.

Would restarting my router help? Or is there something else I’m missing? Maybe the wireless part of the router itself (and/or the antennae) are broken? I’m not sure what to do here, and I don’t want to have to buy extra wire to run across to the other side of the room in order to use the internet on the other computer. :/
