I'm not sure how its worked, because its only one piece? Isn't it like a walkie talkie? I need another part to hook into the computer and I need the other have to receive signal. I'm not really dumb when it comes to computers. But they're saying, no it should work. Its just this little blue square that has an antenna on it. And you plug this usb cord into your computer. I can't get it to work. Perhaps I've gotten the wrong drivers or I am correct that I need the other half. O.o Here is the information I have on it: LINKSYS 2.4 GHz   802.11b Instant Wireless Series TM Wireless USB Network Adapter If you message me I will give the serial and model number.

If it's a desktop is it already connected to the Internet then? I was just trying to get the drivers installed because I thought I might have only needed the one box to make the Internet work. I have a computer tower, not a labtop. I thought maybe after I got it hooked up, it would connect online. I have internet connected with one computer and its through cable. But I was just trying the Wireless adapter to see if I could get it to connect. We don't have a router than hook more than one pc. I didn't figure I could get it to work since it doesn't have the other half. marshmellowman Posted at 3:46 pm on Aug. 19, 2008 I don't understand then, what are you trying to do?

There wasn't anything that connected to the router and or modem 3. I tried the last option that was listed and it didn't work, so I don't know what the deal is, I'm quite sure I need the other half O.o mnmandme2004 Posted at 3:37 pm on Aug. 19, 2008 go to start on your computer press run and then type in services.msc find where it says linky should be like third from the bottom of the list and then right click and press start if this doesnt work... IDK what to tell you k1Lka Posted at 3:37 pm on Aug. 19, 2008 well the router connects to your cable modem and the wireless usb adapter goes into you PC and receives signal from the router to give internet on your PC marshmellowman Posted at 3:36 pm on Aug. 19, 2008 So it's a USB adapter? You need to have a wireless access point that connects to your modem in order for you to be able to connect to the Internet. Do you have an access point? (It's like a big unit that connects to your router with two or so antennae). h a t t Posted at 3:35 pm on Aug. 19, 2008 Post from this position was omitted due to content violations All 7 previous replies displayed.
