hey guys, thanks ahead of time for your help. My problem is that I have laptop with a wireless USB adapter and it won't detect my router. When I run an ethernet cable from the router to the computer it works fine. Also, my usb adapter will detect lots of other networks in the area, just not mine. Any ideas?

Do you have any other PC's that do detect your network?

You may want to check and make sure that you don't have SSID Broadcasting turned off on the router.
