Cable Forum - View Single Post - Multiple PCs on Telewest wireless home network

I have a NetGear ME102 Access Point wired to my Telewest set top box, with a NetGear MA101 USB Adapter on my PC, and they work just fine.

What I wanted to do is to use a laptop with a NetGear MA521 802.11b Wireless PC Card through the same Access Point. I have been able to connect the laptop to the web but in doing so I loose connectivity on the desktop PC. I can get the PC back on-line but then loose the laptop.

I contacted Telewest for some guidance and was told that the Access Point can one device. Is this true ? According to NetGear website the ME102 can handle upto 32 devices ? Is there something that Telewest need to do at their end to allow multiple devices access through my connection ?

I would appreciate any suggestions.
