MN-500 and MN-520 NFG

I reported on December 6th that the connection between my
base (MN500 ) and laptop w/ MN-520 was inconsistant.
I have since done th XP-SP2 install (stupid - I know
expecing things to work they way they promise) and have
been on the road and had to change the settings on the
laptop to connetc to the WiFi in the hotel. (Laptop does
not SEE hotel WiFi unles I type in the exact name of the
network (SSID))
Anyway my laptop now does not SEE my home network
whatsoever. It is sitting on the same desk. (My base
station is in my basement- and my neighbor can SEE mt WiFi
from his house - at least 75 yards away)

I have (temporarily) disabled all security, on the
basestation and the laptop, I have turned off the WEP etc -
and at no time does the laptop SEE anything --

It has been over 6 months since this worked (on the road I
can connect to the Hotel WIFis ) but at home NFG.

I am tempted to trash it all and buy another brand ...any
other suggestions?

O.K> So now I am fed up.....I paid the $35 for support
call and spent 90 minutes with a person in India (I am not
prejudiced, but if I am paying for help can the person at
least speak english!)
Removing reloading drivers changing this and that - OH we
have a "Known compatability issue with your PCMIA bus" -
My A$$.... THis worked - the driver updates and XP-SP2
just makes it worse and worse.....
Final answe....call another number for a refund - well
since I bought this over a year ago - and I do not keep
every recept for every $49 item I buy - what do you think
will happen?
-Oh I just was called and asked if I was satisfied with
the support!!! -
