Netgear WGR614AU problems

I just bought a Netgear WGR614AU wireless router with two Netgear WG311GE
wireless PCI adapters.

So I connected the router to my Motorola SB5100 Surfboard Cable Modem (which
has been working faultlessly for 6 months) I was able to get the router
connected using an ethernet cable, then I followed the setup to connect the
other PC with the WG311ge wireless PCI. After 10 hours I have given up.

I tried the Netgear standard set up at first, in two different PCs, I tried
sitting the PC adapter antenna just one foot away from the router antenna,
but they just can't see each other.

I tried setting up my SSIDs, checked they were the same, I tried hard coding
the MAC addresses. I have made sure all firewall and antivurus software is
off.

I'm in Melbourne Australia connecting to Telstra Bigpond cable.

The netgear site is a waste of time for help, their Knowledge Base should be
relabelled the Bleeding Obvious Base.

I've got WinXP on both PCs, but I even installed Ubuntu Linix, it went
searching for a wireless network during the setup and it couldn't find one
either, anyone got any ideas? Should I just take it back and swao for a
Linksys or a D-Link.
