Do you see the network in your XO's neighborhood view? A small icon that, when hovered over, has the name of your home network in it. There should be three circles with 'mesh networks' for channels 1, 6 and 11, as well. If so, click and trying to associate to it.
<br><br>Take a read through tese pages. If you still have trouble, provide more details on how your network is setup (security, wpa or wep? are you broadcasting the ssid? does it appear in your neighborhood view? etc :)<br>

If your PC or Mac can connect using it, your XO can to. The linksys or netgear brand wireless devices you might see advertised at Best Buy, for instance, all work perfectly. Any problems should be reported back to us.

You could alternatively use a network cable ( called "ethernet" or "cat-5" cables). They require an adapter that you can buy at most electronic stores for under $30. It is a "USB to ethernet" transciever, and it plugs into 1 of your 3 USB ports on the side of the XO laptop (or other PC) and is able to attach a standard networking cable to it.
