Linksys WRT110 Wireless Problem

Status
Not open for further replies.
A couple months ago, I bought a Linksys WRT110 router and it setup and worked fine. However, a couple weeks ago the wireless connection slowed down a lot and then stopped working altogether. I have 2 laptops, one running Vista and the other XP, and neither can connect to the router wirelessly anymore. I'm not sure how to conclusively determine if the router broke or if there is something that I can do. I spent several hours with Linksys tech support changing the settings of the router and have since reset to factory defaults, to no avail.

The current situation is as follows:

1. There is a cable modem connected to the router that used to work wirelessly
2. Using an ethernet cable to connect to the router works.
3. I can detect the wireless signal at excellent signal strength.
4. Trying to connect to my wireless network gives the error message "Wireless association failed because Windows did not receive any response from the wireless router or access point"
5. Doing ipconfig /all on the Vista laptop gives:

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
 
You might try updating the Linksys firmware, or try another wireless router. I use a D-Link DIR655... It is a sweet powerful wireless router
