I am using WinXP SP2

I have a BEFW11S4, currently I have 5 users connected using wireless and its working fine.

I got a new laptop and tried to connect to the router but it prompts "wireless network not available please try refresh you network" when I click on my SSID.

Normally for new setup it will just prompt for the WEP key and its done (it works for the rest of the 5 setups before)

Therefore I bring my laptop to neighbor to test, I successfully log in to his wireless in less then a minute (that means my laptop is ok)

What could be wrong? Does this BEFW11S4 have a limited user problem?

May be the DHCP server in the Router is set to give only 5 IPs.

Log in to the Router check and if needed enlarge the range.

well that is easy to figure out.. turn off a laptop or two and then restart the router and see if you can connect. a wireless B router with 5 soon to be 6 people connected.. maybe you should invest in a cheap or good regular wireless router that is more up to date
