My old D-Link router was on its way out so recently I got a new router for my birthday. The new one is a Netgear DG834G. My desk top is cable linked so that is fine. My Presario laptop works fine with the new wifi link. Unfortunately my wife's Fujitsu laptop running XP will not work with the new wifi. It cannot find a connection. The Fujitsu worked fine with the wifi from the D-Link router. As soon as I changed to the new router it stopped working. I have taken the laptop to the local computer shop to test it (about a mile away) and the laptop wifi works fine there. I brought the Fujitsu laptop back home and it will not find the wifi from the new router at all. This has left me completely baffled. One suggestion is that the channel may be wrong. I have checked and the new router is using channel 12.
Change the channel number on the router to 11 or less. The laptop will be stuck in the FCC (yank) domain and not be able to see channels 12 or 13 which we have the luxury of here in yurp.
