Default Re: Trouble connecting to my own wireless router...

Couple of things to look at. First, bring up the available wireless
networks window and on the left hand side, click the "Change the order
of preferred networks." You will see a list of networks that you are
currently set up to automatically try to connect to. The system starts
at the top of this list and works its way down until it gets connected
to one. Clear off the ones that you don't need and make sure that your
own network is at the top.

The next thing that you need to do is make sure that you can actually
connect to your own network. Make sure that you are using the correct
password. You might want to do a quick test by turning off security
and see if you can connect. If so, turn on security and give it a
shot.

Hope this helps.
