thats wireless networking for you I'm afraid - if you wanted it to be easy you should have got a mac 
but seriously - belkin aren't bad, its what you're trying to do that's needlessly complicated. its not your fault, nor belkin's, but microsofts

do Not get berklin.
If its just the receiver you need then go for

I found them very good, I use one in the car and it can pick up networks from over 500 m away that none of my other pc's can even see _________________
