Hi

"If" the card you have is a Linksys WPC54g and your laptop has a Texas instrument cardbus controller you will beed to download different drivers from the website ftp://ftp.linksys.com/beta/wpc54g_beta_driver.zip .

card is a belkin 54g same make as the router,

all worked fine till the last router lost range over night.

hence the replacement.

thanks

Hi

I have had a lot of problems recently trying to setup a wifi network with a Belkin 54g adsl router.

The problem was that I could only get one pc at a time to connect - I tried absolutely everything, however in the end I did a factory reset on the router and re set it up again since then it has been working ok.

If all else fails try the factory reset.

Good luck

Eddie

Another thought - do you have Norton Internet Security? - if so you may need to set the firewall up to recognise the wifi card until then the firewall may block it intermittently.

And er that's about it no doubt I'll think of something else as soon as I have posted this!!

Cheers

Eddie

Thanks for the replies

but no good, dont use norton.

thing is it was all working perfectly before.
