I just bought a Linksis WRT54GL wireless router (May 28), and everything was
fine. Upgraded the firmware to the latest version with no trouble.
No problems connecting my two laptops wirelessly, or my desktop via RJ45
cable through the router to my home network, or getting on the internet.
But as of yesterday (June 5) I lost my internet connection.
I tied rebooting both the router and cable modem (Motorola) several times,
but that didn't work, though I still have my home network working, but still
no internet.
I called my cable provider for help, and the tech told me to disconnect the
internet cable from the router and plug that into my desktop as the router
was causing the problem, said something about the router automatically
updating something, I have no idea what the router could have updated?
So I disconnected the internet cable from the router and plugged that cable
into my desktop.
Once I did that I got my internet connection back, but now my two laptops
can't connect to the net through the router, either wirelessly or by RJ45
cable.
I tried hooking up and resetting the router again today, but it still
doesn't see my internet connection.
Outside of something being physically wrong with the router, I'm at a total
loss as to what the problem is.
My OS is Win XP Pro with SR2.
If any one has an answer to this headache it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
