Brief diagnostic note tied to the thread: since the adapter can see the access point but Windows throws an "unexpected error" when you try to open or change network properties, it is important to isolate a Windows-side problem from a router-side problem. 's suggestion to factory-reset the router is a useful fallback if the router GUI is inaccessible, but try the PC checks below first to avoid losing router settings.

Start by checking the Windows wireless service and the network stack. Open Services (services.msc) and confirm the Wireless Zero Configuration service is present, set to Automatic, and started. Then run these commands from an administrator command prompt and reboot:

netsh winsock reset
netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

If the GUI still fails, remove any vendor wireless utilities and any third-party firewall/security suite temporarily; reinstall the wireless adapter driver from the adapter vendor. Connect the PC to the router with an Ethernet cable to reach the router web UI and check or update firmware only from the vendor site. Check Event Viewer (Administrative Tools) for errors logged at the time the network GUI fails, and try creating a new administrative Windows user to rule out profile corruption. If those steps do not resolve it, report the exact Windows service pack, wireless adapter name/driver version, and any Event Viewer error text so the next suggestions can be targeted.

A bit more detail would be helpful. What operating system? If windows what service pak? What model and hardware version of Dlink router (label on bottom of router).

You can try resetting the Dlink to factory settings by pushing in the reset button on the back of the router and holding it in for 30 secs. Router lights should flash a bit and then use default user of Admin and no password to redo your settings.

I dont think its actually the router I have a d-link dir 625 set up on a wpa 2 connection using a windows xp software . For example when I click on avaialbe network it shows my router and signal strength but when I go click on change advanced settings or anything it says an unexepected error has occured and thats the most info I can get on it . When im offline I see im offline but still cant change any properties of signals or connections .
