I just bought a Compaq PRESARIO V6000TX Notebook PC that has a wireless something or other built into it. I realized that I did not have something to send out a wireless signal so I purchased a wireless router and also something that LOOKS like a flash disc but bigger and FLATTER that is supposed to pick up the signal from the router but whether I USE it or not, I can't get it to pick up a signal. Any ideas? Hi tahoesista,

Your laptop has wireless built into it, which means you didn't have to buy the "flash disc" that probably goes into a USB port on the laptop. Also, you have to run the disc on your computer that came with your router to set the router up, you can't EXPECT to plug your router in and for it to work. Also, make sure (if your laptop has one) that your wireless button/switch is in the ON position. Some laptops come with a button/switch for turning on/off wireless access. You may have to connect your router with your computer with an ethernet plug for the router setup CD.

Good luck with getting your wireless working,
-Don
