There are a few possibilities...

You can either let windows handle the wireless controls.. or let the software that came with the card.

I would recomend win.

To select the wireless signal of your own router...
-Right click my network places, select properties.
-doubleclick the wireless netowrk listed on the page
-The second tab should be wireless signal detection

Select yours, and it will ask for the password.

Good luck.

when i click the wireless connections, it says no wireless connections found? i was messing around with the options and stuff in there, and i think i may have screwed somthing up.

what is your internet connection speed?

tkey · 06-01-2006, 10:15 PM

that is probberly the max your card will run at - it will be a bit lower though as it needs to travel
