mikeg19_82,
I see you have a valid ip address.
You can try channels 1, 6 or 11, I use channel 11.
You can also try changing the security to WPA-PSK(TKIP) Security(Personal) and see if that helps.
When you reinstalled the operating system, did you install the Desktop/Notebook system software(if applicable) and the chipset drivers first? If not, the rest of the drivers will fail to install. How to Download and Install Drivers in the Correct Order
Start with the Desktop/Notebook system software and the chipset drivers and follow the list.
Hit the Windows and the x keys at the same time, control panel, network and sharing center, click on your network, click on properties.
Look for TCP/IPv4 and TCP/IPv6 and click on properties for each. Have your settings match mine.
Windows 8 uses Windows Defender as the main virus program, which is similar to Microsoft Essentials. These instructions are for printers, but will get you to the firewall settings to make sure you're allowed to connect. Allow Printer past Microsoft Essentials
