MN-700 Replacement Notebook Adapter

So if I am understanding what I am reading, the MN700 is not longer being
made, therefore I can not get a replacement notebook adapter card? I have
lost mine somewhere and I absolutely love the connectivity that I have with
this one. If this is true I will be very dissappointed.

The MN-700 is the base station/router. You probably mean the MN-720
notebook adapter. I think if you try doing a search on Google or even eBay
you may find a few floating around, although it would probably be a good
idea to go with another manufacturer's 802.11g device. Any one will
probably function just fine for you.

Thanks Chris. I did wind up going ahead and buying the Linsys Card but
without knowing what my network key is, this has been a nightmare. I dont
know how to set it up without it. Hey, maybe you have the answer to that one,
lol. Thanks for your help.

Your network key can be changed or edited in the MN-700 setup. Whatever
your IP address for the base station is can be entered in the address line
of your browser, and you can then access the information. Generally, unless
you changed it, the password on the base station is "admin" without the
quotes. If you can't access that, I'd suggest you check the information
here: http://support.microsoft.com/msbbn There's an informative section on
"How to Manually Configure Your Base Station with Windows" included in the
links.

Hi Chris. I just wanted to let you know that I finally had the time to work
on what you recommended and what I wound up doing is re-downloading the
router info with the disk after resetting it. I so appreciate your help in
this.
