Your problem might be the default PCI card settings are incompatible with the default router settings.

I have the same problem if I try to connect my 802.11b network adapter to my 802.11g access point....it won't work because they are incompatible, unless I configure the access point to operate in a multi-mode g and b compatible operation.

To overcome this, you have to connect to your router physically using an ethernet cable. I'm not familiar with the router you have - from the website, it looks like it might have many different modes of operation - I'm assuming that you can configure it manually to be sure that it matches the operation of your wireless network PCI cards.

Hope this helps.
