belkin wireless problems

in Techie Stuff
i've just spent most of the weekend installing a belkin g router on my pc and 2 laptops
the laptops seem to be working fine but my pc connection - dongle appears to live in it's own little fantasy world , sometimes it works a treat , then it goes on a little walkabout and never returns , it can pick up other networks but not mine
apart from smashing it with a hammer would i be better off just using a wire or getting a wireless card ,
i've tried changing channels and all that sort of stuff -
any ideas ??

Try letting Windows Zero Configuration manage the wireless as opposed to the Belkin client software :cool:0

To start Wireless Zero Configuration in Windows Vista you need to log in as an Administrator.
- Click on Start and Control Panel
- Select Administrative Tools and then Services
- In the Services box scroll down the list of Services (Local) until you find the one labelled Wired AutoConfig and double click it.
- In the Wired AutoConfig Properties (Local Computer) box change the Startup type to Automatic
- Click on Start and once the service has started click on OK
- Now find the service labelled WLAN AutoConfig and double click it.
- In the WLAN AutoConfig Properties (Local Computer) box change the Startup type to Automatic
- Click on Start and once the service has started click on OK
- Go to File and Exit to close the Services window
