I thought I bought compatible stuff at a good
price. I have the Orinoco Classic Gold card in
my laptop with WinXP Home and a 2 Wire 100W
router. I am using a cable modem. I haven't
got the setup right yet as the carddoes not
find the router and the router light for
broadband link is orange. I understand that the
router is not setup yet or the light would be
green. I called tech support for the router but
they could not help since the card was 3rd
party but their simple instructions include info
on Orinoco gold cards. I
called Orinoco but the line got disconnected durring
the tech session and I was lucky to get help
since the card is Lucent and they are now
owned and built under a new name.
Both pieces were bought on eBay but new in the
box. I don't have a conflict in my system
hardware (checked that) and the driver for the card
is built into XP so it was a simple
plug&play. I've heard that the driver in XP is
better than the company's driver about conflicts. It
seems to be the router install that I can't
get right. Any suggestions? I walked the steps
with the 2Wire tech for 100W setup but no
luck. I am fairly new to wifi but if you
type slow, I think I can understand and get
thru. This is my first post. Sorry if it
is too wordy but wanted to be thorough.
