It seems like you're experiencing connectivity issues with your Huawei HG520 router on a Windows 7 x64 system. Let's troubleshoot this step by step to help you get your internet connection working on your Windows 7 computer.

Troubleshooting Steps:​

1. Check Physical Connections:
   • Ensure that the LAN cable is securely connected from the router to your Windows 7 PC.
   • Make sure that the Ethernet port on your computer is functioning correctly.
   []IP Configuration:
   • Check the IP configuration on your Windows 7 PC to ensure it is set to obtain IP and DNS server addresses automatically.
   []Reset Network Settings:
   • Reset the network adapter settings on Windows 7. This can sometimes resolve connectivity issues.
     • Open a Command Prompt with administrative privileges and run:

        netsh int ip reset netsh winsock reset ipconfig /flushdns

   []Update Network Adapter Driver:
   • Update the network adapter driver on your Windows 7 system to the latest version. Outdated drivers can sometimes cause connectivity problems.
   []SSID Broadcasting:
   • Check if the SSID (network name) is broadcasted by your Huawei HG520 router. If not, enable SSID broadcasting in the router settings.
   []Security Settings:
   • Ensure that the security settings (such as WPA, WPA2, or WEP) on your Huawei router match the security settings on your Windows 7 PC.
   []Network Discovery:
   • Make sure that network discovery is turned on in the Network and Sharing Center settings on your Windows 7 PC.
2. Wireless Settings:
   • Double-check the wireless settings on your Windows 7 PC to match the settings (such as SSID and security key) configured on the Huawei router.
