I've got a working internet connection through the DGN2000 from a Vista laptop, and an Ubuntu PC. The Ubuntu PC uses a D-Link USB Wireless dongle. When I try to use the Netgear WN111V2 dongle, I cannot connect to the Internet from an Windows XP it never gets past 'Acquiring network address'. Any ideas?

If the computer is a desktop you can purchase a wireless card and install internally or use a USB wireless dongle. The dongle will also work for a laptop.

plug the usb modem into usb slot of pc as normal.
Bridge the connection between the internet connection and ethernet router connection in network page.
Set router to ip add etc and it should share net access while pc is turned on atleast.

Hi message4,


Welcome to FixYa! How are you doing?

Hope that helps. Thank you for using FixYa.

Hi,

Looks like connectivity issue, so it can be wi-fi dongle.
If any other pc/laptop has wired internet connection Or if you can wire-connect present pc/laptop then you can test using skype from it. If it works fine then wi-fi dongle maybe the culprit.

Also there are many sites for testing internet connection speed etc.
Test your internet connection using the dongle.

1st.  What brand and model # of your router? 2. The router cd should be run only on the computer u have connected to the router with a network cable. Your vista laptop. Is it connected with to the router with a cable? 3. If so, it will be the one used to configure your router for wireless setup. When you ran the setup it should have gone thru Wireless Setup. It will ask you for an SSID. That is a name you will give your wirless network. It can be anything you want. just remember it.  It will also ask you to setup security for your wireless network. follow the instructions to setup a password. write it down. This is an important step so anyone cannot just logon to your wireless signal an start using ur internet connection or gain access to your computers. 4. when u setup your dongle on your kids computer it will search for wireless signals in the area. you will look for the one u setup in the previeous step. you will select it and it should ask you for the passkey you setup. once connected you will have access to the internet.
Think of your router as a private radio station and the wireless usb dongle is the radio. The only way your computers can tune to it is using the dongle and if you know the name of the station (your SSID) and the passkey.

go to google type in bluesoleli driver3.2.2.8 this take you directly to the download you need

if the router is already set up the usb dongle software will need to be used to connect to the router to allow a connection without the need for a cable as the dongle will see the wireless signal

what operating system you are using?
did you install the wireless-g usb dongle driver in your laptop?
you have to configure the router wireless settings, so that you can connect from your laptop.
