Sorry I'm a little rusty /stupid.

The last time I used eCS was before I went wireless and as far as I can remember the version of eCS I have (1.1 I think) didn't recognise the wireless card on my ThinkPad x31.

Yep so it's nothing to do with the router...I asked the wrong question.

What I really need to know is how can I set up eCS to recognise the wireless card on my thinkPad

....and from where can I get an up to date browser? The one I have.... Mozilla... is very old and flash etc doesn't work...

Cheers

You should be able to configure the router via a web-browser.  The necessary
IP should be in the docs that came with the router, or simply use google to
find it.  I can't remember what the IP for mine is off the top of my head
since it has been years since I needed to make any changes, but many
different brands of routers use the same IP to access the built-in
configuration HTML page.

Basically, no drivers are required!
