One thing I noticed too is the pieces on a wireless network seem to take time before some of them begin to like each other more. Usually about a 2 week period. One way you can help troubleshoot is to completly dump any trace of current drivers of the dlink card. Then of course get some drivers, first try a generic version of your hardware, since you already know what it is, using a generic driver may increase compatibility and what not. Grabbing the latest drivers from the manf and a clean install works a lot of times as well.
But, I would just give them some time first.. time to handshake, make friends. Or you could reset your router settings to basic for a sec, establish that a good connection can happen and then start the lockdown. but there are so many things, you may just want to google a network test and run it on your equipment.
Netgear has almost always been a solid choice but my brand preference landed with linksys before cisco took em over. still though I am running a wrt54g and this is the second time that linksys has had a hit and miss attitude. So, I am going to the netgear side next time, is there by chance a recommended one on the cheap side of things?
