    But perhaps with only WEP. Plus she'll potentially get double the range.

    In addition: 802.11b devices suffer interference from other products operating in the 2.4 GHz band. Devices operating in the 2.4 GHz range include: microwave ovens, Bluetooth devices, baby monitors and cordless telephones. It will also slow the wireless network for other clients.

    So moving to the 'N' standard has it's advantages.

    Tank you, user's Guide say's 802.11a+g/802.11b wireless LAN

    I don't mind if it's not as fast as the up to date ones just as long as it works.
    Thank's again Drinda.

    Acer Travel mate 254LMi_DT XP with sp3

    THe Acer site only has the old IEEE 802.11b driver, I need to update to IEEE 802.11b+g+n
    My wireless network name is in the list and it say's I have excelent connection and speed is 100.0 mbps but id does not connect, TT said I need to update the driver because the router is more advanced than my old wireless card driver, when I looked in the wireless setup the driver is the b+g+n so I think that is what I need.
    Thanking you Drinda.

    I see that TalkTalk are continuing to pull your chain - they will tell you anything to get you off the phone, rather than actually helping you with your problem! Despite what the TalkTalk rep may say, you will get far more help setting up the wireless connection that TalkTalk messed up for you on this forum.

    But your current Wireless card is not capable of 'a' or 'g', only 'b'.

    It's not a matter of speed, but of security and performance.

    Installing the software and slotting in the suggested wireless card will bring your laptop up to date.
