I have a Belkin wireless router and a usb belkin adaptor plugged into my PC (desktop). It has been working fine for ages then all of a sudden it decided not to work.
So off i pop down to my local pc store to buy a new usb wireless adaptor thinking it must be that and it is still the same.
My laptop works fine wireless to the router so the router must be ok.
i tried allsorts like re installing the software for the adaptor and at 1 point i managed to get the belkin adaptor to find the router but the windows wireless icon never found it. God knows i'm currently connected via ethernet cable and had to bring the pc back down stairs.
what i can't understand is i have not messed about with anything or moved pc so why should it just pack in.
I'm not too good with these things when they go wrong so have anybody got any ideas what to check etc.
Ps i also have Mcafee running which used to secure the wireless connection and that won't work either now.
thanks
