We have recently changed our router from a belkin 11b device to a new Linksys DI524 wireless router and now were having a connectivity issue when we turn on our notebooks.
We are using Bell South DSL 3mbs service which assigns us a static IP address and once connected to the router all is well, our problems is when we power up our notebooks we get a notification that the wireless connection is not available, I can hit properties, and bring up the network box, it shows my wireless lan with a red mark through it.., so, I hit refresh a few times and it comes up go to close the box the connection is lost, then I hit properties again and I get the Unsecure network notification, I click on it and close the box and then the connection works 90% of the time, maybe 95% of the time, if that does not work well, then I reboot and sometimes that helps.
Our computers are Compaq Presario 2100 with built in 54g wireless networking standard. I do not have WEP engaged on any notebooks or, on the router.. like I said, I can usually work around it but it takes going through the motions to get the connection.
So, now, we are visiting my daughters house and they have a wireless SMC network router, no WEB encription and the notebooks fire up with no problem, Bam (as Emerald would say) and here I am.. up and running no hassle..
I'd really like to get this squared away with still using the DI524 I have a great signal once I get connected, but, this screwing around is driving my wife and I crazy as we both have the same Compaq notebooks, the Lyncsys is really creating a problem. .
If you have any ideas or suggestion I'd sure appreciate your help.
