Hello everyone!
I have just recently built a PC, and ordered a wireless adapter with it. Specifically the Asus PCE-AC66 card. It seems to read networks just fine right now, my home network shows up with five bars and excellent signal strength. My problem is when I click the connect button. If I do the connect off the control panel for the wireless card, my mouse shows the loading icon, but all that happens is for a split second, it shows, ["SSID: (my network) and Status: Disconnected.]

If I do the connection with the networks list straight off of Windows, it just says I'm not able to connect. I've tried all the little troubleshooting things like restarting stuff and making sure things are enabled in my computer. I have also installed the driver for my wireless card and my LAN (because I was going to use ethernet at first before I decided to move my computer).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been fumbling around like an idiot with this for quite a while :) 

UPDATE: I updated the wireless adapter's driver to the latest using my neighbor's phone hotspot. For some reason this connects fine, but I've done the whole router restart thing and that had no effect. I also updated my router's firmware, again this had no difference. A few minutes after doing all this, I tried connecting again just because. This lead me to have limited connectivity to the network. I then ran a troubleshooter; this disconnected me. Now when I try to reconnect, I still get the same messages 'can't connect to this network' and the SSID thing, too. In advance, thanks again :)

open where it shows the ssidsm right click the one that is your router, select properties, input any info needed (like if you have WEP, WPA, WPA2 etc) make sure the ssid is correct, hit OK and see if it works.

Everything seems to be fine. I'm a noob when it comes to networking (so please bear with me if I sound dumb), but I'm assuming the name of the network is the same as the SSID listed? My network settings are mostly set to default, if that helps.
