well, you should use your computer to get into your modem or router, look somewhere for the option to allow any other wireless objects to connect(i think since you have a laptop and wii, only one might get wifi since settings might be set to only give off wifi to 1 object such as a laptop)im having problems with my router ,it will only work for one day and the next day i cant get wireless on my wii or laptop. i have to reset it everytime to get it to work.is there something im doing wrong?
i have a linksys wireless-g wrt54gs and i have it set up to give wireless to both unitswell, you should use your computer to get into your modem or router, look somewhere for the option to allow any other wireless objects to connect(i think since you have a laptop and wii, only one might get wifi since settings might be set to only give off wifi to 1 object such as a laptop)
but what type of modem/router do you have?
i guess you can say imma tech noob, whats a hardwire and what exactly is the website your speaking of because lynksis.com is just selling routersIf you can't even access the settings, then you might need to flash the firmware to restore everything in it. Linksys provides their firmware on their website, and hopefully you can still access the update firmware page of the router. Just make sure that you are using a hardwire when flashing the firmware, because if you lose the connection to the router, you could screw things up even more in the firmware.
Ah, sorry.i guess you can say imma tech noob, whats a hardwire and what exactly is the website your speaking of because lynksis.com is just selling routers
btw my lynksis is a *Linksys WRT54G2 Wireless-G Broadband Router*
thanks for the reply
Install Belkin, problem solved.
there only a couple of feet away from the router and the router sits on top off the couputerUpgrading firmware can be a dangerous thing, though. Mess up and you can brick the hardware.
- Are you certain that it's your router's fault? Could it perhaps be your entire internet connection that goes out periodically?
- Are these wireless devices very far away from the router, or anything? You don't happen to have microwave ovens, cordless phones, or Faraday cages lying around in the way, do you?
ill try downloading the firmware, because my ip address does not access its page on the browserAh, sorry.
I just mean to make sure you are connect to your router through a lan cable, and not through the wireless network.
Iit should be linksys.com, if you go to their support page it should list downloads for all their products including the latest firmware. Then there should be an update firmware page when you access your router through its ip address.
im guessing this was meant for meUpgrading firmware can be a dangerous thing, though. Mess up and you can brick the hardware.
at this point ill try anything, i just don't want to spend another 60 or so dollars on another router
- Are you certain that it's your router's fault? Could it perhaps be your entire internet connection that goes out periodically?
Im pretty sure its the router because without the router my optimum modem works fine, and sometimes the internet falls from the computer which is connected via Ethernet cable, and that's when i get wireless access

no, its right under the computer, both the modem and router, and no i just got a new microwave, when this problem has been going on for two months or so and i do have cordless phones but i doubt that's the problem because i had those phones before i ever got my router
Hehe, we haven't really gotten to anything past the basics yet. I think all of the suggestions we have suggested can be found in the router's instruction manual.ima tech noob too so half the stuff u guys are talking about i dont know.but i know the basicslol
