I have 2 laptops and a wireless router that I just bought today. I used to have a different router but it broke'd. The router is a Belkin Wireless G Router (Model #F5D7230-4).

Alright. The fact that it is a *wireless* router means that it should connect to my modem, I should be able to set it on the table next to the modem, and take my laptops wherever I want in the house, and be able to get on the Internet, right? Heh, I mean, that's what a router does.

So why is it not doing that? I installed it with the installation CD, and I can get a connection when I connect it to my modem and then connect the router to my laptop physically with the network cable. But when I take the network cable away, it doesn't detect any wireless networks. And that sucks and does not work for me.

So, any suggestions? =/ I tried setting up a new wireless connection with the Wireless Network Connection Wizard (Windows XP Home) but, obviously, it didn't work.

Help is appreciated. =/ I'd like it asap.
