I have been having an on going problem with my daughters dell inspiron 1521 laptop connecting to my wireless router a Linksys wrt54g v8. Now it will not connect at all. I spent 2 hours with linksys tech support both online and by phone trying to get this fixed. I could not do anything by phone because they said this model is out of warranty and they wanted 39.00 to talk to me.<br />
<br />
&nbsp;I tried by online support but no luck. This is a wired and wireless router. the wired computers connect to the internet fine. I was told to buy a new router. I removed and added the network settings in the laptop several times.<br />
<br />
When you check and go to connect to a network the info i put in does not show up as an available network. when you go to manage networks it does show up there. &nbsp;Is there anything I am missing or a firmware update to add or should I buy a new router?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

I am having problems getting my laptop to connect to my linksys wireless router

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.

Wireless Networking

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
