USB wireless adapter problem

joep · 01-11-2007, 05:26 AM

Just bought a Trendnet 54Mbps 802.11g wireless USB 2.0 Adapter, done the software/driver installation. However, I cannot connect to the internet, have I done something wrong?

My router is located in another room around 40ft away (at the same level), my wireless router is a Netgear MR814. My computer is old (only supports USB 1.0), but that wouldn't be the problem since I've tried the wireless adapter onto other newer comp too.

What OS are you using? and the USB1.1 may still be the problem.

I'm using WinXP home edition

I've plugged the adapter into an USB 2.0, still doesn't work

just noticed that my adapter is 802.11g and my router is 802.11c, would that be the problem?
