    I have a Dell Inspiron 1000 (nothing fancy) and a dell wireless card that has decided it wont re establish a link with our linksys wireless router after linking up with another linksys router a few days ago. It says the signal strenth is good but has little or no connectivity. I tried "repairing" it, I tried refreshing the router itsef, I just dont know what else to do...help? :confused:

    If the SSID were the same, you may need to remove the location and add it back in. Duplicate SSID will cause a lot of problems. If that is the case you need to connect to your router and put a unique name (ssid) in it. Then establish the connection.

    Use wired for all routers setups.

    Did you check all of your security settings to see if they're correct for your home Linksys?

    Do you remember the changes you did when connecting with the other linksys?
