    :eek: Hello everyone.I have just bought the above . When I view available networks there are several strong signaled open access's to connect to. I can then connect to them (it shows speed etc and have the option to disconnect) But when I open my browser I get the page not available error as if I was not connected. I have set up a wireless router to my ISP and this works fine, also if I plug it directly into my cable modem this also works. Do I have something not set up right?.
    Many Thanks for any help.
    :confused:

    If you are connecting to the wrong wireless network it may be a decoy. Change your advanced setting to only connect to prefered networks and only connect to AP it you do not use adhoc. Adhoc is very dangerious if you use public hotspots.
