I use a verizon hotspot to connect to internet. I use the Netgear WNDA3100 usb adapter to connect to internet. I have a home network setup hardwired with Linksys WRT54GL router. If the Linksys is powered up for the network the WNDA 3100 will not work?. Why can't the network be on and get internet at the same time. Do I have to change a setting in the linksys?
Thanks for any help you can give me, I'm going nuts.

Solution
All clear now - the two networks, the wireless and the wired lan are using the same subnet addressing - 192.168.1.* That means they are conflicting you cannot have two networks on the same subnet as obviously your pc doesn't know to which one you are referring. You need to change one of them to use them concurrently and as the hotspot is presumably beyond your control the only solution is to change the addressing structure on your router. That will involve changing the address of the router itself - if your using dhcp all other changes will be made by the router in allocation addresses. You could make the router 192.168.0.1 for instance.
zplugger: try using only 1 network at a time--using 2 networks on your laptop simultaneously is like when I used to wear a belt & suspenders at the same time (my Students used to make fun of me!). I suggest you use the Linksys wifi network IN YOUR HOME as you should get faster speeds than using the hotspot. Turn of the hotspot, and reboot your laptop and access the Internet through the Linkys wireless LAN connection. If you are leaving your home, and you are in an office environment, public place, or a friend's house that's where you'll really need to use the hotspot for Internet connectivity.

Luck.

Hello BigBearJEDI
Not sure what you mean by Linksys wifi network? The only internet connection is with my Hotspot,I use the linksys on home network. Not sure how to get my linksys to connect to Verizon HotSpot. What you said sounds good,but don't know how.
