    Hi everyone,
    i have been trying to set a belkin wireless modem router up, however, i cannot manage to do so...i figured out that my wireless blue led on the front side is not on even when i try the Fn+F2 buttons....strangely enough when i boot windows(media center) temporarily i see the led in blue and then it goes dark...additionally the wireless console is turned on for both bluetooth and wireless and is switched on...bluetooth led is active when i press the side button but the same doesn't happen for wireless....i downloaded and installed wireless drivers from asus as well as intel pro wireless but in vein...
    I would appreciate some help with this if somebody has got an idea how to get round it...
    thanks everyone in advance...

    Does the Intel Proset Wireless software say the radio is switched off?

    If it does, I would contact your reseller and tell them about it, it might be a defective wireless card.

    Thanks Athlon64M,

    this software indicates that wireless is on, so does the asus wireless console, it's just the led that doesn't get blue...i tried to wirelessly connect my pda and that failed too...you think is something i can sort out myself with my average IT knowledge or i need to contact asus?...

    :)
