I got a USB wireless network adapter for my computer(other than this one),and when I try to connect to the network,it says that its out of range,although its right beside it,and the signal is 100 percent.its saying "windows cannot connect bah blah..Might be out of range"...I dont know what to do.I called both the wireless router people,and the USB connect people,but they cant help me.Anyone?

Do you have wireless security setup on your router? If you do you will need to load the software that came with your usb wireless reciever, input the same security key to the adapter. Restart it and it should work. If not you might need to call tech support like swatmonkey says.

yeah, im saying to use your own routers "website" to fix your problem...all you need to do is make your routers wireless enabled by going to the link i gave and fixing it.

I did all that,but somehow it still doesnt work..Anyways,after being on hold for more than 1 hour,yes thats how desperate I am,the people said that the channel on my wireless router isnt matching the USB wireless adapter..So,They told me to call siemens to have them change it.Does this make any sense to anyone?
