I recently bought a bundle containing the DG834GT and WG111T.

I have set the router up and it connects to the web OK when wired however I cannot get the adapter to pick the router up wirelessly, I just get a flashing blue light on the adaptor.

I have ensured tht the SSID is the same as the router and have not enabled security.

I have tried resetting to factory setting and powering down/up but whenever I scan for networks the adaptor will pick up every other network around me but mine!

Can anyone help please?

Thanks in anticipation

Practical checklist to troubleshoot the DG834GT + WG111T pairing reported by and . As suggested, start with the router-side access controls, but also run the steps below in order — most fixes are quick and will reveal whether the problem is the adapter, the router, or the PC.

  1. Verify which device is at fault: try connecting a phone or laptop to the DG834GT. Then plug the WG111T into another PC. If other clients work and the WG111T fails on multiple machines, the adapter is suspect.
  2. Drivers and firmware: uninstall the WG111T driver/utility, reboot, then install the exact driver for the adapter revision. Update the DG834GT firmware too. Mismatched or old drivers are a common cause.
  3. USB/hardware checks: plug the adapter into a rear motherboard USB port (no hubs), try a different cable/port, and avoid front-panel ports that may be underpowered.
  4. Wireless configuration: temporarily disable MAC filtering and make sure SSID broadcast is enabled (or add the hidden SSID manually). Set the router to b/g mixed mode and pick a fixed channel (1, 6, or 11). Check the router country/region — channel 12/13 can block some adapters.
  5. Security, DHCP and isolation: turn off WPA/WEP while testing, ensure the router DHCP server is enabled so the adapter gets an IP, and disable any "wireless/client/AP isolation" features.
  6. Logs and testing: look at the router's wireless client table/logs for association or authentication errors. If the adapter shows low bps but an association attempt, that points to IP/DHCP or encryption mismatch.
  7. Last resort: test with replacement hardware or request RMA if the WG111T or DG834GT consistently fails after the above steps.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, collect the router logs and adapter driver version before contacting support or warranty — that information speeds escalation.

I have a similar problem. Flashing blue light. Recognizes my network with a strong signal...No data. Shows ch 11 and about 18 bps. Tech support goes to India. Very nice gentman who can't communicate. Very frustrating.
