First job is to try to ping the router from the wireless client. Should be 192.168.1.1. I suspect that won't work as the router requires skill to misconfigure. I have never had that problem so I'm a bit weak on troubleshooting it. Make sure the wireless connection on the client is actually connected and enabled. If the wireless client has an ethernet connection, disable it in network connections (this is not necessary but give it a go).
