    Hi,
    I installed a belkin wireless N usb adapter to my laptop. When I try to connect to the internet via the voyager 2110 BT router it doesn't work. I get an limited connection between the laptop & the router and between the router & the web.

    Ipconfig /all details :

    C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>ipconfig /all

    Windows IP Configuration

    Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : HP-Laptop
    Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . :
    Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Unknown

    Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0
    Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :

    I presume the fact that I don't have a default gateway means it's not connecting at all to the router. It tells me I may have entered the WEP key incorrectly but I've entered it a million times correctly at this stage.

    Any help/advice would be great as it's driving me nuts at this stage :mad:

    Thanks

    That's what the router is using on 2 other machines. I know I should move to WPA but I was afraid of messing up the other connections
