What make and model of router have you got? Most have lights on them to indicate successful DSL and internet connection.

That's the USB wireless stick. You said...

'Router is working okay.'

What's your router make and model? The thing the wireless USB stick is supposed to be connecting through.

Had a brainwave and downloaded latest version of the software for the wireless adaptor from the Netgear site via my desktop PC. Installed this on the laptop and seems to have solved the issue. Thanks for all the advice.
