I have a Linksys WRT54G Router, and when I try to connect, by Choosing a Wireless Network, select my home one, add key and attempt to connect it takes forever. I just wait and wait. Sometimes it can take well over an hour, other times (once) it connects immediately. I haven't changed any default settings since setting up. Is there anything I can do to ensure connection straight awat. Oh yeh, Signal Strenght is excellent. Cheers, Lisa

It's can't be the MAC filter if you are able to conenct at all.
Maybe there's an second WLAN with the same SSID in your neighborhood. That's a common problem when using the factory default setting. In that case your client tries to connect to the other access point, which will not let him in.
You may change the SSID of you WLAN and try again.
