I am trying to connect an old Dell laptop wirelessly to our home network.
Visitors with newer laptops can easily connect, once given our password, but in the program provided for the Trumobile card, there does not seem to be anywhere to enter our password. It shows the signal strength as exellent, but actual connection as limited and we cannot connect. Network Connections/Wireless Connection/Properties shows nothing helpful. If we connect it with a LAN cable, directly to the MBR1210, it works, but this is not convenient. What have we missed?
Inspiron 1100, running XP
Trumobile insertable wireless card
Bell Netgear MBR1210 cellular modem/router
