During set up of my new laptop I was prompted to enter WEP key for my wireless connection. I knew this - miracle in itself - so I was feeling very smug!! But then computer wouldn't accept but said I could come back to this step later - It lied. If I plug in to box via cable it's perfect but when I unplug nothing.Computer says wireless connections are available and the name comes up and it shows good signal but won't connect. My situation is a bit different from everyone else's because we live in such a remote location no internet server was able to help us with a connection until we found a small private company who wanted to extend their service to our area so in exchange for allowing a di8sh thing on our ground big enough to land aircraft by, we have free internet. I was thinking therefore it was an equipment incompatibility problem but now I know! As an aside, the guy that owns the dish said to right click on the name of the network and select properties to enter the key well... a) when I do this it just tries to connect - no menu comes up and b) what good would that do... I've given it the right key already. Sorry to rant I'm just frustrated. Don't ever let me meet Bill Gates - well not with a gun in my hand anyway :) Oh well, at least I know now it’s not just me!!

However, when i try to connect my daughter's newer Windows 7 PC so she can access Internet, it remains "searching for device." Note: daughter's Windows 7 PC has previously only been used for games/homework - no internet. Linksys instructions did not cover Windows 7, but your website provided step-by-step instructions - thsnks! Suggestions - what am i doing wrong?

I am only able to connect successfully and access the net on my home wireless. I dont think it is an access point problem though because it doesnt work anywhere else i.e. not at anyone elses home, or school etc.??? It is so frustrating!!!! Please Help! Hi Moni and Nelson,

run a test by connecting to another wireless access point if you can, if it connect then there is something wrong with your wireless access point you are trying to connect to.
