Well I dived into that Nordnet info as far as I dare and still no detection of a wifi network being found by my PC. I confirmed that my wifi card only works on 2.4ghz and looked into the Nordnet box. It was using both bands so I switched off the 5ghz. While I had a connection to it via ethernet cable I did a couple of internet speed checks. Via ethernet to the Orange ADSL modem the best I could get was 7meg. Then with cable to the Nordnet box and the satellite I got between 100 and 120 meg. Amazing. That confirms the satellite dish is properly aimed. Given Nordnet's reluctance to get involved with my problem I might just have to get used to being tethered (by cable) to the box and lose the convenience of wifi to the wife's laptop. I will be cancelling my contract as soon as I am able.
