Hi guys,
I bought a linksys WRT54G v.6 two-three days ago and have been trying ever since to make it play nice.
The house uses SBC yahoo dsl and the main computer is a dell desktop running on windows xp media center. i have the latest revision powerbook before the intel machines.
I've updated the firmware.. spent an hour on the phone with linksys support.. and now I'm ready to just return the wireless router and try belkin. we've done the turn off, turn on, reset, etc. i've changed security from wpa2 personal to wep in case my powerbook decided not to play nice with that. changed channels. nothing seems to work.
my issue is that we set it up and it'll work fine for about five minutes before the wireless goes out. when the wireless goes out, you can't access the internet on the desktop either. if i don't use wireless, it'll be okay with a hardline connected to the desktop.
now the router just seems to be completely unhappy and won't even play with the desktop.
i'm SOL, aren't i? anything else i can try?
thanks!
