| 1189498 | 2011-03-26 02:42:00 | Hi guys, I'm thinking about putting a wireless PCI card into my Win XP machine so I can access my wi fi rmodem from the spare room. I have looked at a couple of sites on how to do it. Looks easy enough, but one site says run the set up cd first before installing it and the other site says to just use the "new hardware" Wizard. So what do you normally do? LL |

Then it was just double click add your details - name of hidden SSID and then the paraphrase. I sometimes find it easier to make the SSID visible add it and then make it not visible - I found some equip has an issue locating it even if you give it all the info. |
