Let me guess: The router is a Netgear? I got a similar problem vice versa. My USB stick is a Netgear, router is 3rd party. All tools say "Everything fine", but I don' get traffic. This USB stick is the only Netgear product in the whole network. U.S. Robotics, MBO, D-Link, Linksys, Motorolla—no problems. But this f***ng Netgear, ****! @$§+!!!

Hello everyone,

I bought last few days USB Lan card from NetGear. Not work too No traffic and makes me angry. I bought next USB Lan card from DLink and I wonder it will be free from errors.
