Hi team

Need assistance or tips

Linksys wireless-G PCI adapter with speedboster on desktop

Netgear dualband wireless-N gigabit router

The computer connects to my neighbors network so i know it works
My other computers and phone are able to connect to the router w/o problem

But i can't connect this wireless adapter to the NetGear... Firewall is off in windOws XP

What do you think?

Oh and the router is visible but when i write my WPA key, it tries but doesn't connect

Router was set to accept WPA2... Adapter is only WPA...

So i changed the router to accept both WPA-PSK & WPA2WPA2

Thanks to caperjack i was condensing on that asPect
