New Wireless Device Question
Greetings Everyone,
I recently purchased this: Everytime I start my computer this device doesn't automatically connect to the internet. I have to "Repair" my network connection (from an icon in the startup bar). Is there anyway to correct this? Is there a way to configure this device to connect to the internet without me having to repair anything? Thanks

Have you tried re-installing drivers? Is windows seeing any other USB devices at startup? Is windows showing all USB devices as being on at startup in your hardware device properties?

It is a piece of shit, my roommate had one, and the thing would constantly disconnect or lose its signal. He switched to an XBOX ethernet wireless connector and hasn't had a problem since...

1. Yes, I have the latest drivers installed.
2. Yes, I have SP2 installed. 3. Yes, I use the internet like I use oxygen. I tend to get kranky when I am offline. Not having my morning coffee ain't got nothing on being offline. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone.

I had a similar problem, but different router.
After I would run the setup program to install the drivers and setup my network information, using the linksys software, it would then ask me to restart the computer, so I would take out the cd rom restart, and nothing would work, or it would keep connecting then not being able to associate with the access point. I didn't realize that I needed to keep the cd inside the drive, even after the reboot, then it would go through the rest of the installation. |

I have no problems with these units connecting my Tivos I love them they work without issue.
I have WEP enabled and MAC filtering. I am not using WPA and have set the router to only be Wireless B since there is no G in my house at the moment..
