Windows doesn't know what kind of router it is, it just knows it gets a signal from it.
Can other machines connect to the router? Has that machine connected to other routers? Have you been able to connect that machine to that router under a previous OS?

If your router is not working the try turning off all security on the router temporarily - see if maybe it's the WPA that Windows XP 7 doesn't like. Are you using the Netgear wireless utility or letting Windows manage it?

Windows 7 automatically installed the 64-bit drivers for the wireless adapter (and every other component) try loading Windows 7 onto a clean partition.
Under Windows XP, the adapter drivers had to be installed before the adapter was inserted into the PCI slot. Uninstall the adapter drivers in Windows 7, shut down, remove the adapter, reboot, then reinstall the drivers, shut down, then reinstall the adapter?
