How do I connect my Vista 64 bit laptop to a Netgear WNR3700 N600 wireless router?

I went from a old Linksys to a Dlink DGL-4500 and had no problem with connecting to them. But now I switched to a Netgear WNR3700 and having an issue with connecting to it. I have one Windows 7 (32-bit) computer, Vista (32-bit) computer, XP (32-bit) computer, and a Mac OS X computer all connected to it and working fine. But when I try to connect my HP dv7 1127cl running Vista 64-bit, I can only connect to the local and not the internet. I am sure there is a way to fix this because I have ran into so many problems with my Vista 64-bit and eventually I have resolved them.

So what can I do so I can connect to the internet wirelessly from my laptop? I know it has something to do with security encryption and how Vista x64 only likes to use the standard WEP/WAP2 or something along those lines. But I have no option to change any of that on the main SSID, it only gives me different variations of WAP2. So for temporary fix, I created a "guest" SSID using WEP so I can connect to the internet but I would much rather prefer to use the main SSID(s) to reduced clutter and streamline as much as possible.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
