Wireless cards and stuff
I work away during the week and rely upon an old Acer Laptop for internet stuff, (which probably in equivilant circumsatnces would have been used by the caveman who invented the wheel).
Her who permits me to lodge as just had the tumerity to upgrade her whole computer system, which includes a new internet provider and a new home hub.
Previously I was able to log on to either her, or a neighbours unprotected system with only minor gliches, now, although I get every indication that I am recieving a full strength signal from her new hub, I can't connect to it.
I can still connect with reasonable quality to the neighbours system but would like to take advantage of what I am paying for in rent.
I've been told that more recent home hubs are now operating on different frequencies to that are on the integral wireless card on my ancient laptop and that a USB Wireless card would solve the problem.
Ive seen such cards available for £18 to £30 and I like advice as to if this is the cost effective solution.
Any help would be much appreciated.
