VGC-V2M & wireless

PapaB — Wed, 15 Feb 2006 11:41:55 GMT

I have a BT Voyager 2091 wireless router, but am unable to link to my VGC-V2M wirelessly. (Ethernet works fine). Do I need to purchase a wireless adapter, or if not, can anyone run me through the settings I need to alter ? I believe I have been through all the necessary proceedures setting up a wireless network, but still no luck !! Any assistance would be much appreciated.

You need a USB wireless adaptor as the V series doesn't have space for PCI cards

The V2M/S and V3 are like laptop. You can use laptop network card.
PapaB, you can use Belkin's highspeed wireless network card or this one

Belkin Network Card is great,
Dont buy a USB adapter coz you can use a network card on it.

Buying a PCMCIA Wireless card is fine as long as you don't want to be networked when/if you want to plug another PCMCIA card in.

USB is less restrictive.

With all the respect man, but USB can be broken easily, but Network card is protected inside the PC.
I have both

With respect man, neither will be broken if one is careful.

the USB adapter is about 10cm long, where 1 cm is attached to the machine, how that cannot be broken?!
if it doesn't get broken a lot, why did Belkin created a stand for it?!
