The laptop is acer aspire 5003wlmi
the usb dongle is creative 3crusb10075
the router is netgear dg834g
i know there are a few different brands there but that hasnt created any problem before when i used the usb dongle in work or when i used the laptop or dongle with a neighbours router two houses away from me.
i can connect onto the neighbours router at nearly the same speeds as my own, i think its a netopia router
i never tried the dongle with the laptop
i have updated the drivers for the 3com usb dongle but it didnt make any difference
i havent tried it without wep encryption but even if that did work i wouldnt be to happy leaving it this way.
regards
