Hi,
Thanks for trying to help. Tried your suggestion and the
adapter is still incommunicato with the base station.
Honestly, I think the adapter is pinging its heart out,
but the microsoft products just don't want to play nice.
I'm getting a refund on the adapter & will go with another
microsoft wireless or maybe a powerline adapter.
