Advice required on wireless connection please
Hi Everyone'
This is my first post so I hope I dont make a hash of it lol
I am running Windows 7- 64 bit desktop
Have just purchased a new Linksys router WRT160 N v3 as my old one seems to die intermitently.
My problem is I cannot seem to connect to the 'wireless' connection only receive internet on wired connection.
I also want to add my Laptop Widows Vista- 32bit to make a home network.
Im a little thick sorry but do I need to purchase a wireless adapter?
Previously I used my laptop on my old linksys router 'wireless' no adapter as the laptop has the card or whatever internally.
I have only just bought my desktop 3 weeks ago and this has the correct wireless connection internally (I hope)
After trying for the best part of this week Im at a loss as I keep getting error saying cannot connect to 'wireless' etc
My signal says exellent so not sure whats going on.
As I say Im a little rusty unless things a written down then I follow ok lol
If I do need an adapter would I need one for both desktop & Laptop?
Sorry for the essay
I hope someone can possibly help an old lady out here!
