Missing wireless in range

DEEBEE060 · 11-09-2008, 05:55 PM

Switched off onboard wireless adapter.Installed Netgear WN311T wireless adapter (PCI) on MB. Installed software and noticed red AI warning LED was lit on MB( above PCI slot). Tried reseating card and unistalling reinstalling software. Light remained lit. Updated bios to latest (9.????) and rebooted, still had warning light. Took out netgear card switched onboard adapter on in bios.

The problem I now have is with both XP pro and Vista ultimate on seperate hard drives. This is not a twin boot but 2 seperate drives. These are individually booted (one on the other off). Now when I look for wireless networks to connect to all I see is the one network, my existing one. I am using a dual band netgear router and other PC's in the house show both bands as seperate routers plus other routers in the neighborhood, mine shows only the one.

I have drawn the conclusion that this is not an operating system error. In all probability it is user error but I am stumped. Is there a setting in the bios I am missing . Is this a known bios error? Any advice gratefully accepted
