The Dell laptop has a Dell Wireless Dual-Band WLAN card in it (on-board.) The Desktop machine had an Edimax EX-7128G 802.11 b/g card installed. Once I got the Linksys in, it connected right up and even got an IP address. Not to mention that the client said his Vista laptop had problems getting onto the internet that morning wirelessly. I've had problems with Netgear wireless routers before and that's part of the reason I will refuse to use Netgear wireless routers in the future. Wired, sure. Wireless, no.

' From: John Aldrich [mailto:jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com] Sent: Monday, May 10, 2010 10:17 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Wireless Routers This weekend, I spent about 4 hours working at a client's site (side job) trying to get their desktop to link up to their existing wireless router (Netgear.) I never succeeded and I was also unable to get my Dell laptop to talk to their wireless router. After fussing with it for over 2 hours, I went to Walmart and bought a WRT54GS2 Linksys wireless (same exact model I have at home) and hooked it up. Instant success. Long story short - if I ever have a job where I can't get the wireless to connect, and the user has a Netgear wireless router, I'm not even going to spend time on it, I'll just tell the client I'm going to go buy a different router that *will* work and get another Linksys. Just thought I'd pass this along for anyone who's looking for a new wireless router.
