So after a bunch of search I ran up on this-

So happens, I have this netgear wireless usb adapter whoozamawhatzit the OP mentions that caused the problem.
Though, he doesn't mention how to fix it per-se but to disable the smart wizard. Did that, and it seems my problem persists.
The last post just, mentioned something of renewal client and changing the key stroke- which helps me none.
I went ahead and rebooted, and now am just going to access my wireless via Window's automatic connection feature- and viola, it fixed my issue.
It was a weird one, just unsure of why that keystroke was interfered with by my netgear wizard/.
