STOP! Don't do it AUSATCO. Life is good, really, and we can talk this through.

Your 650 could be faulty, especially if the PWR LED won't light. But then why would you get the Link LED blinking...?

We are talking "ad hoc" in the configuration window Wireless Mode of both units and not "infrastructure" aren't we?

We've done "rescan"?

With all the settings at Manufacturers Default including the same SSID (check basics such as spelling) 4x config, Data Encryption unchecked until we get some contact, I can only think that one of the hardwares is faulty.

Perhaps you could read off the screens in your next post.

An afterthought. You may have overlooked the fact that for Peer to Peer you can't rely on a DHCP Server to allocate TCP/IP addresses. So for each 'puter you should allocate these as per the instructions on pages 8-11 of the Quick Installation Guide. Mine are 192.168.0.25 and 26 and the Subnet Mask is the usual 255.255.255.0. If you haven't done this you'll get the correct radio indications but the beasts won't talk to each other.

Hoping Tourniquets not required.
