works fine! and looks great" the dg834g!

Connected it to my pc and my laptop picked it up instantly!

it says excellent signal etc after i entered the wep code

although it wont let me access the net from my laptop!


was going to buy some netgear usb sticks for the other pc's in the house but Im not sure I should take the risk until i can get my laptop working!

idea's?

see if you can find out the ip address of the router is, probably 192.168.1.1

then on your laptop unplug it so its connected to the wireless, then goto start > run > type cmd and press enter

then type ping 192.168.1.1 and see if you get any replies
