Hugh, I hooked up the Linksys router and it works great. I have all three computers online now. The laptop was easy. The USB wireless adapter for the old desktop was another story. Had to call support for the USB adapter and they told me I needed to call Linksys and I kept telling them my laptop works so the problem isn't with the router. Well I ended up calling Linksys and there was something that needed changing. The girl at Linksys was very knowledgeable. She had me going here and there changing this and that and now it works. One question. Since it is a USB connection should I be disconnecting the USB adapter through the system tray even if I never remove the adapter before shutting down? I will be leaving the adapter plugged in all the time but it gets turned off when the computer is shut down. Thanks Vern >> >I've had very good luck with Linksys routers.
