Hi John Will, I realize I'm not the original poster but I am having a problem with my wireless adapter and the wireless router at my new house I just moved into. I think it might be because my adapter is old and the router is relatively new, but if you have any advice on how to get it working i'd appreciate it.

Here's my info: Country is US
ISP is Cox Communications
Modem is Motorola SB5120 Surf Board Cable Modem
Router is Netgear RandeMax Next Wireless -N Router WNR834B v2
Wireless adapter is Netgear MA111 Adapter
Not sure if it is wep, wpa, or wpa2
HP Pavilion 8760c
The problem that comes up is it can't renew IP address, have not tried plugging straight into the router because my ethernet card doesn't work anymore. It says contact network manager but none of my roommates know what to do. None of the other computers have experienced this, although one of my roomies who moved in before me said he had to get a new wireless adapter, I'm trying to avoid that and find a solution with my adapter.

Here's the other info that you said you would like to see:
