Hello,
I've been trying to get this thing to work for months now. I gave u
finally but decided to give it another shot.

I purchased what my computer recognizes as "Atheros AR5007UG Wireles
Network Adapter" (I'm using Windows Vista). This little booger i
supposed to simply let me plug it in into my USB port, instal
everything, thus creating a wireless access point (so I could connec
to my home internet through my Nintendo DS, Wii, etc.) - this is wha
it was advertised to do, as it's similar to the Nintendo Wi-FI US
connector.

I'm unsure of what i'm doing wrong. I have the most updated drive
installed, but now what? I just want to set this thing up to where i
will create an access point in my home.

Any help would be *fantastic* and I thank you advance. This has been s
frustrating and i'm hoping I can figure out what to do here. Thanks

You don't say how you have your home internet set up.

For your wireless adaptor to work, you have to already have a Network set up
with a Wireless Router.

No, the adapter I have is made for the sole purpose of not requiring
router. It uses your existing broadband connection to establish
wireless signal so that you can use it to get online with your Nintend
DS, PSP, etc.

The link above takes you to what I bought (not from that website, bu
the same product, basically).

Any help would be awesome. I can't figure out whats wrong with thi
thing.
