Model: Toshiba Satellite 1805-S274
OS: Win XP Home
Wireless Card: TNET1130 WLAN Adapter (802.11g+) Wireless PCI Cardbus Adapter
Wireless Router: Netgear MR814 v2
Cable Modem: Linksys BEFCMU10
The laptop DOES connect to the Internet via a CAT5 cable, but the wireless card does not allow it to connect to the Internet.
There are 2 lights on the wireless PCMCIA card, orange and green. The orange light glows continuously, but the green light rarely flashes at all. The green light used to blink all the time, when the wireless connection was working OK.
I have tried uninstalling the software drivers for this card, and then reinstalling. No change.
Inserting the card into the lower PCMCIA slot shows an "Excellent" signal, but only 2.0 Mbps.
Inserting the card into the upper PCMCIA slot shows an "Excellent" signal, but this time the full 11.0 Mbps. However, I
still cannot connect to the Internet, even with that "Excellent", 11.0 Mbps signal.
