Atheros ar5005g local no internet

SuperKlumpen · 07-18-2009, 04:41 PM

I've got an acer aspire 3050 with the atheros ar5005g wireless card. I moved to Oregon about two months ago and I can not connect anywhere. I'm maybe 2 feet from router right now and I need to be hardwired in. When I first moved here I would try to connect and get the "local only" error. I tried using driver version 5.0.0.10 because I read on some forums that it fixed it for another person but that is an XP driver and now it says I'm connected but I still have connection issues. Please let me know if you need any other information or if you have any ideas. Thanks you.
