Go to START-RUN-CMD-click ok. This will take you to the Command prompt. Type: ipconfig. If you get an ip address of 192.168.1.x [where "x" could be any number ranging from 2-254]
Proceed here.
Open internet explorer - clear the address bar - type in 192.168.1.1 and then hit ENTER.
It'll prompt you for a username and password, leave the username blank and for the password type admin. Then it'll take you to the Linksys router setup page. You'll see something in there that says Channel [which would be set to 6 by default.] change it to either 9,6,4 or 1. Also change the SSID [linksys by default] to anything... [eg uhmm your name?] - then click on either apply changes, apply or save or save changes.
If you get an ip address of 169.xx.xxx.xx
Then you have to hardwire your system to the router then proceed to the above.
Thanks for the help Krypton. It did help, then i got disconnected and couldnt reconnect. Called Linksys support and they walked me through it, which was pretty much what you indicated. Changed to channel 11 and a few other adjustments and all seems good again.
Thanks again.
I own an Irish pub/restaurant in Halifax Nova Scotia call JAMIESON'S, so if you are ever out this way, the beer's on me!
