D-Link wireless router and Belkin Wireless G USB Network adapter

I have recently bought a D-Link wireless router and Belkin Wireless G USB Network adapter. My laptop and desktop are working with the wireless router and both can use the internet. Then I installed the Belkin wireless G USB Network adaptor to my son's computer which runs Windows Vista. The Belkin network detects 2 wireless networks, one from my neighbour and mine. It also connects to the neighbours linksys network, but it does not want to connect to mine.  Have you come across a similar problem and what should I do to solve it?

    Thanks for the solutions. I played around with the channels and the wireless is now up and running!

    I have comcast hs internet connected to my Linksys router, no problems there. I have a Belkin USB wireless adapter connected to my desktop upstairs, can see my network, says I'm connected but I cant open Internet explorer. It just gives error messages that windows needs to close. AOL was the dial up source used prior on this computer. I have uninstalled it.

    I have attempted to make my wireless network the priority but still have the problem. How can I get rid of the other wireless networks from even being listed at all?

Set your wireless network as a preferred network and to automatically connect to it. Also set it at the top of the list so that it takes precedence. If you continue to get conflicts, change the channel of the router.

Laptop died and now I cant connect my desktop with the belkin usb adapter. It just keeps saying aquiring network address.

Use the Ethernet cable to verify the router or modem is working and connects to the Internet. If so, then check your wireless adapter in the desk top through device manager - it should detect the Belkin. Also, verify you are entering the correct WEP keys to access the wireless connection to the router or modem - sometimes it gets typed in wrong.

Belkin router not giving signal to linksys adapter HELP!!!!!

I dont think belkin has a stable driver for win.7 at this time. I have a belkin n router with a belkin adapter and had no luck.
Some people have had some success using a Vista driver.
You could go to www.bioticaindia.com and download a win 7 driver there. They show a 48% success rate.

Wont work my belkin usb

All wireless adapters use the same radio channels so your adapter will work with your router. (If that wasn't the case, it wouldn't be so easy to connect to networks with a laptop with built-in wireless.)

Belkin N1 Wireless Adaptor not connecting on PC

what the adviser meant was your pc cannot provide enough power to the usb port to power the unit, assuming you have tried other ports and it still wont work; you will need to either purchase a pci usb 2.0 card adapter or purchase a mains powered usb hub and connect to this instead.
