Hi all - I took the plunge and picked up the Belkin Pre-n equipment. Installation was a snap, but I'm having trouble connecting wirelessly using the Pre-n notebook card. It says I have a signal, but can't get online. There is no WEP activated on my laptop. I turned off the XP firewall. I tried using both the " Let Windows configure my connection" and the Belkin utility. I see the network, but can't get online.
My laptop had the Intel wireless card when I bought it. A while back I removed that card and installed an Atheros mini-pci wireless card together with its drivers and utility. That connected to the Pre-n router just fine. So I went into the device manager and disabled the Atheros card so I could use the Pre0n card.. I'm running out of thoughts with this, but am thinking of a few ideas:
1) do I need to remove the original Intel wireless drivers?
2) do I need to remove the Atheros drivers?
3) should I clone the MAC address from the router?
4) should I do something with the IP address on my laptop?
Thanks for everyone's input.
