i've recently installed a new router which came with my new wireless broadband. my previous broadband provider was orange and my router and network adapters were all belkin. my new wireless broadband provider is o2 and i'm using their wireless router. i'm still using the same belkin network adapters. the network adapter in my laptop works ok but my laptop frequently disconnects for no apparent reason. also, one of the belkin adapters broke and the other doesn't work in either of my pcs. do i need to buy 3 new network adapters? or can i buy 2 (do they need to be belkin?) and carry on using 1 belkin in my laptop? the belkin adapters are 802.11g - 54Mbps.thank you!

Hi There

Any wifi g adaptor should work - doesn't have to be Belkin. As for frequent disconnects check the security settings on the adaptors match those on the router exactly and maybe change the channel on the router.
