Strimkind - thanks, I will check those settings and give it a try.
I finally got a good work hook using the Orinoco card in a different part of the building, I think the wifi here that I use is weak in my office. The original Airport card works OK, a Motorola card works OK but the Orinoco Silver does not. This is our Guest wifi so it makes sense that our area is not a prime hotspot.
The home thing stumps me. I'm going to try my old router and temporarily disable encryption and see what that does. If that solves it, then it may be a router incompatibility that is happening there. The old 2Wire modem/router was what we had in place for a long time. I'll also toggle the settings to Long Preamble first and see if that does anything.
