| yea, we used to have Linksys, its sucked royally, drivers really did anything, the cd barely ever worked for the usb device, and it was slow. I know where you are coming from, you should switch to D-Link, its more user friendly. Pentium D 915|EVGA 7050 mATX|OCZ XTC 2GB|XFX 7900GS XT|Hyper Type-R 580W|Qmicra 2 Case |

| This doesn't have much to do with your problem but I thought I would throw in my experience. I haven't worked with any linksys hardware before. I've used D-Link my whole life and have never had a problem. I recently bought a 16 port switch to add to my LAN Party equipment. It's very fast and pings were at a constant 5 in CS Source. There were no problems or slow downs. ![]() I Like Watercooling. D-Tek Fuzion, MCP655, MCR220 |

| Try logging in. Go to "192.168.1.1" and see if you can login and see if you can flash the firmware. Otherwise if manually resetting the router and modem doesn't help, its dead.

| The Linksys WRT54GL is probably the best router ever made. It runs Linux, and there is lots of 3rd party firmware for it. I use: Thibor's HyperWRT page But if yours is silver I don't think you have one of those.

| I have a WRT54GS. It's either the router that sucks or the modem; I'm too lazy to find out which. Only thing I changed was the firmware to one made by Sveasoft (or whatever). It allows you to increase the power of the wireless signal. It helped a bit. - Core 2 Quad Q6600 - DFI Infinity 975X - 4GB Corsair XMS2 w/ DHX DDR2-800 - 250GB Seagate 7200.10RPM + 160GB Hitachi 5400.4RPM - ATi Radeon X1900XT 256MB - Cooler Master Centurion 5 + OCZ StealthXStream 600W - Acer 19" P191W Monitor - Logitech Z-5500 Digital + Logitech MX Revolution - Vista Ultimate x64 Dell Inspiron 5150 - Pentium 4 @ 3.06GHz w/ HT Tech - 512MB PC2700 RAM - 80GB WD Scorpio 5400RPM HD - nVidia GeForce FX Go5200 32MB - XP Pro SP3 |
