Re: Help please

I'll drop back in when I can and we can see what else we can try. I'm starting to think that it might be worth doing a complete reset on the router, making sure that your PC is connected ok, uninstalling the USB dongle and trying again from scratch. Hopefully it won't come to that

If you were next door I'd pop round and take a look for you, still this new fangled internet thing would appear to have it's uses after all

Be back soon.

I have been using the dongle that came with the router, but if you think the card may work better, i can try that.
No, no.

That sounded like you had wireless built in to the laptop. Then after that you talked about:

Which, to me, sounded like you had installed a USB device into your machine that also had wireless capabilities. In theory, it shouldn't be neccessary to use both. If your laptop has wirless built in then this would be the best option.
