Help with Belkin adaptor and Sky Broadband

Hi,

I've recently installed the Belkin high speed wireless G USB adaptor for use with Sky Broadband.

When I 'disable' the adaptor from the router it cannot be activated again without restarting the PC. Otherwise each time I click on the adaptor icon it says 'adaptor not installed'. What is going on? :( If I leave it on it gets pretty warm. Is this ok to do?

Furthermore Sky Broadband sucks. For now anyway. 80+% of the time I can't even connect first time, it either taking too long to find the homepage or no connection possible at all. When online you get disconnected most times. And the router gets to warm too soon. aargh :eek:

Thanks in advance and sorry if this is wrong forum but I don't have much time online :shrug:

Regards.
 
Huh?
You have to connect, like DIAL UP??? I really want to know, since Im joining sky bband soon.


When I want to use the internet, I just open a page, and Im connected. I dont get disconnected after inactivity either, which I think happens if you are with telewest.
Im not on sky broadband yet, but I dont like having to "dial in".

As for the router getting warm, most routers do, its normal. If you place it horizontally, it can get too hot.
If its possible with belkin routers, try and place it on a tabe vertically standing, that way heat can diffuse from each side.
