Hi all
I borrowed a Zyxel NBG334WUK01 Wireless DSL Router for my old laptop last month, it came with a usb adapter as my old laptop was not wi-fi enabled. Anyways it worked fine, and for my 2 bedroom house i seemed to get a good reception all over.
So for xmas Santa got me a new laptop with Vista and built in Wi-fi, so not being very adventurous i thought i would buy the same one as i knew it worked. It said on the box that it works with vista but was designed for Xp.
Anyways i got it set up and decided not to use the USB adapter as mine has it built in. It worked fine but only in the same room and when i took the laptop down stairs it would not connect and could not even find the network i had just set up.
I decided to try the dongle and turn my built in Wi-fi off but that did not work properly as the dongle is not vista compatible. according to the website
So basically could it be my built in wi-fi thats not working properly even though its fine if its in the same room as the router?
And if i go and buy maybe a g+ as this was a g would this help my built in wi-fi pick it up better, if it has more range.
Also if i decide to buy a better router with better range that comes with a usb adapter can i just use this? and will it work ok as long as i dont switch the one on in my computer?
Sorry for long thread but i am a newbie to all this and wanted to get all info in.
Thanks all
Chris
