Hi,
I have a laptop with an internal wireless card that doesn't appear to work with my wireless router. The laptop does work in other wireless environments.
Before I call Linksys, what would you suggest to fix the problem?
Setup is:
- Broadband (cable)
- Router is Linksys WRT54G
- Laptop is IBM T40
- Wireless card is Intel Pro/Wireless LAN 2100 3B
- OS is XP Pro
Thanks in advance for your ideas.
Henry
I suspect your router does not have compatible wireless settings with your laptop. Log into your router and look around; it may be a simple as having wireless disabled on your router, and there are several other wireless settings which could also prevent wireless access.

This adapter doesn't support 802.11g i.e 54Mbps - check your router setting for speeds supported.
It will support WPA encryption, but you may need to download an updated driver.
Thanks for your help. I edited my wireless network connection properties, and am now up and running.
