[QUOTE="chscag, post: 999931, member: 46727"] No. It's backwards compatible and should pick it up. I have an old Toshiba notebook that has a "B" wireless card in it and it works fine from my new "N" type router and network. It just slows down to 11 MBs. When in Windows, do you "see" any other networks in your vicinity? (you should see some) If you see other networks and they are not encrypted, can you connect to one of them as a test? And you're sure the SSID is being broadcast? (I wonder if it is, since you can't see it.) If you've gone through all the settings and you're sure the SSID is being broadcast, I suggest you try resetting the router back to factory default. Attach an ethernet cable to it, and then go into the router setup menu and start over. Regards. [/QUOTE]
