recently HAD to move my pc away from the router so i had to get a wireless card. im currently using a F5D8233-4-v1 belkin router which is awesome. never let me down. all 3 of my laptops in the house can connect to it and always could. its running wpa-psk security with mac address filtering.

now the adapter i bought is branded EDUP, its a PCIe spec card. it is detected as a intel wifi link 5100 agn.

i dont know what has happned with it, it worked fine for about 20 mins when i first connected it, but then it suddenly dropped connection and it can see the router, but cant manage to connect to it.

what can i try? or is the card itself dead? :confused:

This may sound stupid, but, Have you added your wireless cards mac address to the mac address filtering table?

SupermotoMX · 15 Sep 2010 at 19:17

yes i have, and i also tried connecting without any security i.e. no wep / wap / wpa. and no mac address filtering, i have no idea why it suddenly wont work.

ive reinstalled drivers multipul times tried enabling / disabling. is the adapter dead?

if no1 can help. which out of the OCUK networking range is best? it will be permenent and just the next room from the router, not sure to go pci again or head for USB.

what are my options
