Re: I need help configuring my wireless (DLINK and NETGEAR)

Here is a link to dlink's area for DWL-G630
http://support.dlink.com/products/re...uctId=DWL-G630

Determine which revision you own and it will provide you step by step
instuctions on how to load the software as well as troubleshooting tips.
I have the usb version and I notice that when I tried to use it with my
netgear router that I had similar issues. I had to use a dlink router
instead. You may need to take it back to the store since it is a new
purchase and buy the netgear version.

Good luck.
