I've got a laptop running XP with a wireless network adapter (Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG), I've never used networking before. Last week I got a free wireless modem/router (Edimax AR-7064g+) from my ISP as part of an upgrade package. Following the instructions I set it up using ethanet connection, and now can connect without using my old modem.

I switched on Boradcast SSID and set up 128 Bit encription. I've been trying to connect wirelessly, but my network has only been found twice. Both times before I was able to connect, it couldn't detect my network any more. It hasn't found my network since last night. Now with either ethanet plugged or unplugged it detects numerous other networks from time to time, but not my own. My laptop & router are a foot apart.

Any ideas what I can try or what might be wrong?

Cheers.
