Problem with my wireless network connection

Are you using special software for the network, or Windows XP?

I learned that not using the program that came with my card made connecting a lot easier.

I only used the software with my Wireless Notebook Adapter to install the drivers for it. I used Windows XP to detect wi-fi.

LOL it detected like 6 other access points in my neighborhood but I had like 1 bar of signal on each of them.

Thanks for the suggestions guys but that is all stuff that I had already tried. Then I spent a few hours on the phone with the tech people for my computer and for my router. They don't know what is wrong. They're supposed to be calling me back but I think i'm just going to try to get the router exchanged. The company says that may be what needs to be done.

She even called me last night for help. That's how desperate she is. I'm clueless.

I have no experience whatsoever with wireless networks, but have you tried looking at your browsers connection settings? With my DSL modem, I have to choose "Never dial a number" and set my DSL connection as default.

Edit: Ooops.. I didn't see your post about not being able to connect to the network. I have no idea about that...

if i understand, you can connect to the network but not to the internet.

if thats the case, it could be two things:

1. your browser connection settings
or
2. your hub connection settings.

you are able to connect to the network, so you're able to connect to the hub. but the hub can't connect to the modem.

so either your hub went back to factory default settings somehow and you need to set it up again to suit your connection. or your computer is using a different type of connection which doesn't exist to try to connect to the internet.

both cases have allready been addressed.

i would suggest you look into the hub settings once more though becuase i had this happen to me as well.

But she said that suddenly it's not detecting the hub. So her best bet would be to exchange for a new router.
