Can any one help me please I am trying to set up a wireless connection for my 2 pc's, I have a router connected to my main pc and i have a wireless usb adaptor on my other pc, although it says it is connected I still can't get onto the internet with it. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. :)

I had the same problem when I first set mine up. I have cable as my internet provider. I had to connect the router to my cable modem. Then connect the cable modem to my first pc. After I did this I was able to surf the internet with my laptop with its own wireless adaptor.

Check the settings on the router and does the computer that is wired to the router get internet? If not then check to make sure that the router is set to have the DHCP server on and that it is set to have a dynamic IP address and not a static one. Assuming this is for a cable connection.

I think it is a router problem, my WLAN light is on amber, my wireless connection thinks it is connected but still no internet, contacting aol was useless as usual. Thank you for your response. :)

i think you need to setup a home network first and configure your route as well.

Is your router ALSO the access point for your wireless network? Most routers are NOT access points. If it is, try reseting the configuration of the router to defaults. If it still doesn't work, try assigning static IPs instead of dynamic ones. If your isn't an access point, you should go get one and connect that into the router thru a network cable. Your wireless USB adapter will then get its connection from the access point, not from the router. =)
