Hi guys, I'm Sal, long time lurker first time poster!
I've been having a few problems with my wireless broadband router and was hoping you lovelies could help. Ok so heres the story
History:
So about a year ago I bought a Linksys wireless broadband router (WRT54G); without much trouble I managed to connect my net to it, use an ethernet to connect it to the PC, and then use the wireless network to let my laptop share files and the internet and all way good.
A few weeks ago things started playing up for some reason (I think my sister was messing with the settings) and my laptop couldn't detect the router anymore. To my shock, it was the case with the PC too! So I decided that for now I'd just unplug the router and connect the modem to my PC. That worked. After a while I decided I'd try and fix that wireless network of mine and connected the modem to my router again.
The Problem:
Ok basically, all is well in that my PC can still use the internet, but the problem is that, despite my PC getting the internet connection through my router, I dont think it can detect the router itself because I cant set up a wireless network, the network place on my pc calls it a Local Area Connection (Intel PRO VE whatever network). Theres no trace of the linksys router anywhere.
And of course my Laptop cant detect the wireless router either.
I tried resetting the router by pressing the button at the back and then going to 192.168.1.1 but alas no avail! I cant even get to 192.168.1.1 .
Any ideas guys? If anyone can help they get a free internet cookie! : D
