Wireless G vs Wireless N routers

I have a Linksys WUSB54g v2 wireless adapter on my pc that I want to connect wireless to a Linksys WRT160N v2 can anyone tell me how to do this. I currently have a LONG cable running from my pc to the WRT160N in another room. I have looked at and tried many things with no sucsess. Linksys support, does not.

 

have you followed the instructions on setting up a wireless network? Under basic wireless settings set the network mode for either mixed (to allow for b, g, and n) or if you only have 1 device and it's g, then set it for g only.

here's a link to the user guide. http://downloads.linksysbycisco.com/downloads/WRT160N_ug.pdf

If you've gone through the wireless setup. At what point are you having a problem with? Is your computer recognizing your network and just not connecting?

 

Let me understand correctly.

1. You have a Wireless USB G Adapter
2. You have a WRT160N Wireless Router
3. You have a ethernet cable currently plugged into the router
4. You want to eliminate the cable and use the Wireless USB Adapter
5. You can't get the USB Adapter to connect to the router

Please verify before we go any further.

 

yes , all correct. Thank you for the reply. I have been running a 25 ft cable wire from the router to my pc. This is my first day of vacation and just checked my post. I will be home all week, pretty nice after all of those 55 to 60 hour weeks. Floyde
