Windows 7 And D-links WBR 1310 Incompatibility

definite fixes for the problem of compatibility between Windows 7 Professional and the D-Link WBR 1310 router? My brand new super-duper computer running Windows 7 won't recognize it as a viable means of getting on the internet. I am currently typing this on my Lenova laptop, XP Professional SP3, which runs fine wireless on the same router.Regardless of what I've tried (enter static IP addresses, opening up a new Broadband connection), the system won't recognize the router. The computer worked fine, and accessed the internet easily on my son's network (he put it together with the supervision of two of his techy friends).I am not technical enough to run diagnosis stuff, nor do I have the time to do so (in process of packing to move). Since I'm moving 300 miles away from my son, I'd like to get this fixed now, if it's something he has to do. If I just need to go out and buy a new router (even though I think this router is fine, and maybe Windows 7 needs to be more compatible to everything else out there), I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and do that.
