I previously mentioned I have the OurLink WiFi device working with a Pi 
Model B with 512Meg and a 1 amp power supply. If you have an earlier Pi that 
has fuses on board *maybe* you are seeing a power supply issue.

Before you blame the power supply, check to see if the router is seeing a 
connection from the Pi. Perhaps the problem is similar to what I experienced 
where the Pi was seen by my router but the Pi never received its IP address. 
As a test, try the Pi with a different router. IIRC, you said you didn't 
want to spend any additional money to get it going but it would be worth 
trying to see if you have a power problem, or a router related problem (as I 
did).
