Problem with new DI-624 router and DWL-G650 wireless card

Hi, I just got my wireless equipment but I can't get any signal on my
laptop. I installed netstumbler and it can't find any access points. I
installed the latest drivers on both and it still won't find any. The
router is revision C3 and the card B3. Any ideas? The router works find
for normal LAN but not WAN.

Thanks
Mike Shaffer

By the way, the router is about 2 feet from my laptop.

the problem..

I didn't do anything, it just started working..

With most DLink series 6 routers there is a little trick that works when you
are unable to get it to broadcast a wireless signal.

Using a paperclip quickly tap the rest button three time (do not hold
reset). That tends to "jump start" the wireless broadcast.

Don't forget to say "There's no place like home."
