wireless network help

debrag2007 · 06-29-2007, 09:27 AM

I have recently moved house and am able to use the wireless internet there.

I purchased a Belkin USB adaptor and set it up which showed 2 available networks. At first I was able to conenct to the router but not router-internet, We then disabled the encryption for the time being as my adaptor required a WEP key. This at first seemed to work, I would select the network I wanted and connect (I had to do this due to it being unsecured). Now each time I start my PC/close the network properties I have to go through the settings each time.

Could this be that my PC isn’t always detecting my adaptor or is it an adaptor/network problem?
