Need a hand with probably a small problem:
My Brother in law has a Desktop PC which he used to connect to Talk Talk via a Speedtouch USB modem.
As they are gaining a laptop, he has bought a router/modem. (Linksys WAG54G)
We have connected it up and it works fine.
The said laptop is the problem - It is a Fujitsu Siemens L7320GW (Staples)
It has an "Atheros AR5005G Wireless Network Adaptor" which according to the Device manager is enabled and "woking properly".
However there are "No wireless networks within range" when it is 6 inches away from the router!
I have tried to set up a wireless network connection using automatic settings and have put the WEP encryption code into the router setup page as it was given by the lap top.
I think I need to start again from scratch, but would appreciate some advice in really easy to understand terms!
I have a desktop PC connected wirelessly to my router, but it is connected via a Linksys USB dongle.
Do I have to use a Linksys USB dongle to connect this laptop to the router. I find this unlikely
I tried using a 26 digit generated code should I have used a 10?
I think I am struggeling on the network bit. - would appreciate some guidence - as I said in simple easy to read & understand terms.
Thanx
