Also when i was at their house today trying to connect the laptop i was basically sat right next to the router. I can get online on the laptop via ethernet cable.
I just don't know what else to try, and everything just seems to point to it being a router/ plus net internet problem.

Does anything else work OK wirelessly with his router ?
The default encryption on the TG585 is wpa2/wpa, maybe the network card can't support WPA , you could change it to WEP to check that ( although WEP is MUCH less secure ).
You also might try changing the SSID on his PlusNet router. The default SSID is quite long and some systems can have trouble with long SSID's , try something about 8 characters.

" Start
Run
Cmd
netsh winsock reset catalog
enter
nets int ip reset reset.log
enter
reboot pc"
which were some instructions i found online to try and fix the 105 error in google chrome. Could this effect the wireless settings on the laptop ?

Quote from: tonybarbar But as soon as i take the adapter out and plug it into the laptop it just don't work.
Have you installed the software and settings for the adapter on your laptop?
