Take it back,
there shit we had a £100 belkin one and the wireless card, and it wouldnt even pick up wireless signal from 5 metres away!!
We changed to a netgear super g router, and the netgear wireless cards,
we have 4 pcs in my house all running wireless of the router and it distributes 1mb to each pc, brilliant, never ever had a problem
belkin is shit

I have a Belkin wireless PCMCIA card for my laptop, I have to have the router right outside my bedroom door or it won't pick up a signal! 
I think I should have bought the Netgear one from PC World when I was there!

exchnage it, we had the belkin for about 3 weeks, then changed, the netgear is so much better, my mate can take his laptop to my mates house across the road, and sit in his garden and surf the net!!
Thats a good 70m
