WRT54G wireless solutions
alot of ppl on forums have been having trouble with their WTR54G, several solutions have been found to different instances. MAC cloning, driver re-installing, software disabling, etc.
our wireless randomly stopped working a couple days ago, after lots of research and a 20 minute conversation with a linksys tech support member whose accent was non-understandable, i was forwarded to an awesome guy that solved my problem in 15 mins. turns out that the software that comes with the linksys routers can be problematic. solution: let windows run the hardware.
steps
start button > run > services.msc > ok >
wireless zero configuration > R click > properties >
check for "service status: stoppped" >
click "start" below it > ok >
start button > control panel > network connections >
R click "wireless network conection"(WNC) >
properties > wireless networks >
check "use windows to configure..." box > ok >
start button > control panel > network connections >
R click "WNC" > "view available wireless networks" >
click your network name (or the default "linksys") > connect >
enter network key password if needed >
check google.com to confirm > done
hope this helps someone
