| | Trying to create an access point. Please help! Hello, I've been trying to get this thing to work for months now. I gave up finally but decided to give it another shot. I purchased what my computer recognizes as "Atheros AR5007UG Wireless Network Adapter" (I'm using Windows Vista). This little booger is supposed to simply let me plug it in into my USB port, install everything, thus creating a wireless access point (so I could connect to my home internet through my Nintendo DS, Wii, etc.) - this is what it was advertised to do, as it's similar to the Nintendo Wi-FI USB connector. I'm unsure of what i'm doing wrong. I have the most updated driver installed, but now what? I just want to set this thing up to where it will create an access point in my home. Any help would be *fantastic* and I thank you advance. This has been so frustrating and i'm hoping I can figure out what to do here. Thanks! -- BrandonM ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BrandonM's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=47317 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=956576 http://forums.techarena.in |

| | RE: Trying to create an access point. Please help! You don't say how you have your home internet set up. For your wireless adaptor to work, you have to already have a Network set up with a Wireless Router. -- Mick Murphy - Qld - Australia "BrandonM" wrote: Quote: > > Hello, > I've been trying to get this thing to work for months now.

| | Re: Trying to create an access point. Please help! No, the adapter I have is made for the sole purpose of not requiring a router. It uses your existing broadband connection to establish a wireless signal so that you can use it to get online with your Nintendo DS, PSP, etc. http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-...n-70-1g1l.html The link above takes you to what I bought (not from that website, but the same product, basically). Any help would be awesome. I can't figure out whats wrong with this thing.
