I have just replaced my old wireless router/modem with a new belkin model

netbook will not connect on wireless. Fine with ethernet, but on wireless it
connects to router, but will not access the web. I've never had a problem
with this machine connecting elsewhere. Belkin says it must be network
adapter aftrer they'd walked me through everything they could think of. -
but I don't believe it's the computer at all. It just hooks straight on to
hot-spots etc. Any ideas?.
The model number and operating system of your problem Acer might be
helpful.
My guess(tm) is that you haven't sucessfully connected to your new
Belkin wireless router because you're trying to use the same SSID as
the old router. That's fine, but your unspecified model Acer still
has the old configuration file for that SSID, and is trying to login
using the old security rules and MAC address. Dive into the wireless
config for your unspecified operating system, and DELETE the entry for
the SSID of your systems. Then, re-create the connection and it
should work.
