highlyeccentricI bought a BoB - apparently the best ADSL2 modem available in australia (erg probably shitty by everyone else's standards). It's SEXY. It's shiny and black and it loves me.
It does not lovekayloulee. So: I did the set-up, I connected a LAN cable and set the security and so on. My computer, all the way on the far side of the room, has full wireless reception and no hiccoughs about connecting.
Kylee's, right next to the modem, is getting 3/5 bars of reception (it's no better over here, we tried). It says the modem or router is unavailable or faulty, and it won't bring up any pages. My usual methods of dealing with this (disconnect and try again; restart modem; etc) aren't helping.
BoB is an n-standard wireless router - apparently a new shiny standard so new and shiny it hasn't been codified by the people who codify these things.
O Wise internets - is it possible that BoB is too awesome for K's wireless card?
Anyone have any other suggestions for how to fix this problem?
