I gotta go out, if you don't get it sorted I'll do some screenshots later for you, you could do worse than try network wizard setup again :)

Goto adaptor setting (under menu/setup/system/network/device setup/wlan) and you will need to enter your encryption type and the key :)

I found my dongle to test this for you, and it works fine.
Do you have text-mode enabled (in R/C-setup)?

Im not near a receiver to check but look in Menu > Setup> System for the remote control setup page.

Well, that should be, but not what I suggested. Is there no option text-enable?
Maybe I'm mistaken; that might only apply to VU's.
