I am trying to buy one of them for my home and can't decide between the two. The Linksys is $49.99 and the Netgear is $39.99. Which one is more dependable?

I'm trying to secure my wireless network at home. I'm running a Belkin Pre-N router. The router, hard wire connections and unsecured wireless connections run with no problem. I'd like to secure the wireless side however. I log into the router and go to the Wireless security page. I select WPA-PSK for security mode. I select encryption technique TKIP. I provide my 8-63 character pre-shared key. I apply changes.

On my laptop now I select my home wireless network, It trys to create a profile for the connection, it recognizes the security, proposes TKIP and asks for the key. I enter the key. It attempts to connect. It takes a long time but finally it usually says signal is weak, unable to connect. Yet without security on, I have no problems. BTW: I'm trying this in the same room so the wireless router is only a few feet from the wireless laptop.

Am I missing a setting somewhere?

Thanks,

Tiller

I was searching the internet for prices of modem routers when I realised that some specified that they were for the use of certain operating systems.

So, TWO questions.

Firstly, if the router is for Windows 2000, XP and Mac OS X and my desktop computer is Windows XP but my Laptop is Vista, would the router work or not?

Secondly, can you have different operating systems in the same Network? I'm guessing you can, but I just want to verify this.

NOTE TO PEOPLE ANSWERING: I don't mind extra detail but you must include both or at least one of the answers. Please don't go off on tangents like some people have on my other questions, thanks.

Is there a noticeable difference between 768kbps and 3Mbps - I'll use it mostly for email, surfing and to view video clips and sometimes download music and upload email attachments? Thanks.

When I try my laptop in the room whose reception I'm trying to improve, XP says that the reception is 4 out of 5 bars. (Up from zero without the pie plate!)
However even though it says the signal strength is "very good", it still can't connect. I don't get it! (And yes, it can connect in a closer room.)

1. Why is XP apparently misjudging signal strength?
2. Any inexpensive tips to try?

Thanks!

Problem after problem, it has to be AOL (or then again, probably me!!). First of all i bought a new laptop today and wanted to set up wireless connection with the home pc. AOL delivered me a netscape router. Initial problem came when the software wouldnt work on the pc as the IE7 has mysteriously disappeared off the home PC!!!. I then decided to put the aol software on my my new laptop so i could get an internet connection with the new router. That works well, but only with the ethernet cable connected to the router as the wireless method wouldnt pick up the router.
I know there are loads of reasons why this happens but getting the rite one is the problem. My second issue is this, i want to get the home pc back online, can i connect the pc to one of the spare hubs in my new router if i get a long yellow ethernet cable, and if so, does than mean the two computers can be online at the same time (albeit not wirelessly)??? Sorry to go on a bit!!!

I live out in the country. I have a tower set up to recieve a wireless signal from the city. I have a wireless router set up so that all the comps in the house can get on the net. My g-paw lives next door and the tech guys set up a dish reciever to get the signal from the router. Gpaw wants his house to have wireless too instead of plugging into the wire from the dish set up on his house. Do I use a router for that or what?

There is a wire coming from the dish reciever connected to his house that is plugged intoa little box, and from that box he can directly connect to the dish. Basically I want to connect that wire to a router so that there is a strong wireless signal in his house too.

Can it be done? How?

Thanks everyoen for spending time with this...

Okay, I'm kind of a wiz kid when it comes to computers, but I realised I know NOTHING about setting up a Wi-Fi connection.
I have an Dell Optiplex GX60 desktop computer with Windows XP and AOL Broadband via DSL and am soon purchasing a Laptop with Vista and would like to set it up so the Laptop can go wireless. The computer is in my living room, but I'd like to use the Laptop in my bedroom.

The Laptop comes with a WLAN: Integrated 802.11g Wireless LAN but as far as I know, the computer has no wireless adapter. However, I heard that the wireless adapters always go in the white pins inside the computer, and if so, this means it has one. (CAN SOMEONE CONFIRM THIS FOR ME PLEASE?)
If it doesn't, then I'm guessing I need a router (does anyone know which one or recommend any? does it depend on what type of Laptop/Desktop PC I have?), a pc wireless adapter, an Ethernet cable.... anything I've missed out?
Basically, I need a step-by-step guide for my current configuration....will give 10 pts
