Ok, here is just some information about my setup before I get onto the other stuff...
Internet provider: Alltel(windstream?)
DSL
Linksys Wireless G Router with speed booster
model WRT54GS
Ok, so I go and buy the router with the above specifications the other day and bring it home. I go through the installation CD, and everything is fine until it tries to detect the router. It says that the router is not detected. So, I call customer support and they have tell me I have to configure it or something like that. So, I do that(weird process of using internet browser to access a page without even being connected to the internet), and the internet starts to work on my desktop I thought everything was fine until I tried to play some GW on my laptop. When I went to connect to the internet, the laptop said it recognized the signal, and that the signal was strong. However, it wouldn't connect. Now knowing that something was weird, I went back through the installation CD that came with the router. The CD once again said it could detect no router, even though I could still access the internet on my desktop. I know that it is not simply a problem with my laptop, as my wii does the exact same thing. A strong signal is recognized, but no actual connnect can be made. If anyone could tell me the reason for this, or help me out, it would be much appreciated.
Once again, I realize that the problem doesn't directly relate to GW. However, as this is the 3rd router I have gotten in the last year(previous 2 didn't work either), I am really starting to get fed up. Also, the problem inhibits my ability to play GW on my laptop.
Thanks to everyone who posts and helps out!
