Hi everyone

I currently have a Netgear Router providing wireless broadband in my home. The main PC is connected via a D-Link Wireless USB adapter (or dongle!) and everything seems to work fine. However, whenever I bring home the office Laptop and connect wirelessly the following happens:

I have to manually search and connect to Network (In the office this is done automatically when you power on? It finds the wireless signal shakes hands and no problem?)

When I eventually connect, pages loaded via the internet seem to take a whole lot longer to load, again in the office this is fine?

Any ideas as to what may be the problem? The signs are pointing to my Router I guess?

One other thing! With said router I cannot seem to create a Home Network? The Workgroup is found but I get a permission error when trying to locate the Workgroup computer?

Many thanks and have a great day!
