Wireless Network Help!

[x_6985381]

I have an old linksys 2.4Ghz Wireless B router, that I want to use to power a network.

I'm running windows vista ultimate and I can no seem to do it correctly.

Can someone please help me with configuring this network!

First try to reset the router to factory default, then go to the manufacturer web-site and get the latest firmware for your router. Then you'd have to connect your router directly to your machine with a CAT5 or CAT5e cable and configure all the settings on it, find basic router set up http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?blobcol=urldata&blobheadername1=Content-Type&blobheadername2=Content-Disposition&blobheadervalue1=application%2Fpdf&blobheadervalue2=inline%3B+filename%3DWRT54G_UG_WEB_20070529.pdf&blobkey=id&blobtable=MungoBlobs&blobwhere=1130877072517&ssbinary=true&lid=8635800349B04

You didn't specify if you have a laptop or a desktop. If it's a laptop, and you have a wi-fi built in, your laptop should pick up the signal from the router and then you can enter your passkey and you should be good to go. If you have a desktop, you'd have to have a wireless G card then it's the same process as with the laptop, you desktop should pick up a signal from the router, enter your passkey and you should be good to go.

Hope that helps.
