Hi,
Venturing into this forum for some help please.
Just bought one of those sticks you put in to the back of the pc to make it wireless.
It won't connect. I've tried the switch everything off and turn it on again trick (about the limit of my capabilities).
What do i try next....in words of one syllable would be great. Thanks in advance.
