Disconnect from the wireless , forget that connection in windows, then redetect it and enter the password again.

1) Is this happening in all browsers?, and 2) are you running McAfee antivirus?

I have a brand new laptop, with a McAfee trial version and I had this same problem with webpages not loading, but a perfectly good connection to my hub.

I switched off the McAfee firewall and it just started working again.
I have now uninstalled McAfee and installed AVG in it's place. Everything now fine.
