I use both of these adapters but on different machines. I'm using the MN-500 base station. My problem is for some unknown reason both adapters no longer connect to my network unless I'm in the same room as the base station. On the available networks page the signal strength is excellent but the adapters won't connect. I've updated all firmware and drivers trying to correct this problem but nothing has worked. Is it possible both adapters went bad at the same time? No software or hardware changes were made before the problem occured. No settings were changed. Any suggestions or help?
