Hi,

Virgin have replaced my Virgin DSL with Virgin cable and have put in place a Netgear router. The guy told me it was simple to set up but I can't do it and Virgin are next to useless whilst charging a fortune on 0845 numbers.

The problem is I can't make my laptop 'see' the Netgear wireless signal (if it exists, the light is on the router). The internet works fine with the ethernet cable plugged into it but does not go wireless (as they said it would) when pulled out.

Is it because I am using a belkin wireless 8073 card and now need a netgear card?

Any help would be appreciated as I am going nuts.

Thanks

Matt
