No. If you are able to "see" other networks you know it's working. Do you have your network SSID hidden?

dont think my SSID is hidden why i can connect with my iphone

If your iPhone "remembers" the network it will connect, iPhone is always looking for wifi.

Hav you checked that your network is set at the correct type? Ie network configured as "n" type while adapter only capable of "b"?

Btw - I don't know your adapter, generic advise only.

There are various Wi-Fi specifications that could be used, so it could be that your router is set to say 802.11b = 11Mb/S instead of 802.11g = 54 Mb/S. However most Wi-Fi devices will automatically 'fall back' to lower data rates so if the Trixes WiFi Wireless USB Adaptor can handle 802.11n = 600Mb/S it should also be able to use both 802.11b = 11Mb/S and 802.11g = 54 Mb/S as well. You should be able to set your router to 802.11b/g = 11 Mb/S + 54Mb/S

There was a previous thread on a Trixes adaptor see http://hummy.tv/forum/threads/trixe...eless-network-now-fixed-info-for-others.1343/ the problem under discussion there was that it wouldn't work if the router was broadcasting on channels 1 to 4 but was fine if the router was changed to any other channel. Question for OP; what channel is the router using?

 

[Black Hole]

I thought the channel 1-4 problem had been resolved, so this will be interesting input.

Can you point to the solution please?

At least THIS POST casts some doubt on the issue. I might have concluded a firmware update sorted it, or it might be variable according to the dongle / router.
