Cannot connect to Wireless, but wired works fine, with kinks

I bought a Belkin G Wireless Router about 8 months back.

Starting a few weeks ago, I've had to set a static IP address to my recently built computer (sitting at 192.168.2.10 right now) for it to not disconnect every few minutes.

I then noticed that no wireless devices (tested with 2 Laptops and Ipod Touch) could connect. If I restarted the router and did NOT connect anything to it, it would connect with local access only. If I attempt to set the router up using the CD that came with the packaging, it claims it cannot connect to the internet, and then proceeds to actually kick me off the net.

Does anyone have any clue what coulda caused this?

As far as I know, I've not changed anything.
 
Try refreshing the unit?
Same issue
Backup your CFG
Try resetting the unit back to factory defaults?
Same issue? (without your backup CFG file do this test before you restore the file)
Update the firmware
Same issue?
At this point the unit would be faulty contact Belkin if you're under your 1 year policy if not then replace it with ESR9850 which I am currently using without any issues. Belkin N+ is another step up from what you got. Stay clear of the Belkin Play MAX series a bunch of issues was returned and resold.
