Which PCI slot should I use to install PCI wireless card

You're very welcome, and Hanspuppa is very modest.

He is indeed an expert in these matters.

Hello calvert48, I took a look at the Bell Sympatico 2 Wire Gateway and it appears to be a "G" version router.

This should work very well with your wireless adapter card, since it is a "G" model as well.

This is a DSL Modem, but should work just fine as you mentioned.

Just follow the instructions that come with the Sabrent Wireless card to connect to the Bell Sympatico 2 Wire Gateway, and you should be up and running wirelessly very soon.

Thank you so much. You have been a terrific help to me and will allow me to move forward on this. I am still a novice when it comes to tech and in my grey years I want to tax my brain and this sure does.

Thank you again for all your help.

Forum:

I have 3 pci slots left open on my xw8200 and they are pci (legacy) (1 slot) and pci-x 100 (2 slots).

I am trying to install a Linksys WMP300N Wireless Adapter.  After it is installed my xw8200 will not boot.  I take out the card and the computer works fine.  The WMP300n is not an express card ( I have the x4 & x16 both occupied.  I have no other ideas as I did a chat with Linksys support and they said it should work in any available PCI slot.

Has any one out there had this type of experience.
