    Hi
    i bought a LG E500 last week and i bought a Linksys 2.4Ghz WRT54G. Sometime all runs good with the wireless (Local + Internet) and sometime I lost the connection (connection limited) and i'm not able to get back the network.I tried to reboot the router(unplug for 20 second), reboot my laptop and nothing appen the only way is to wait more than 5 or 6 hour to can connect again to the network. I Tried the chanal 1, 6 and 11.

    btw I have a wireless phone 2.4Ghz ( and i tried to unplug it to).

    When you add a router to networks, some ISP detect a different MAC Address and bump you off there network.

    Linksys WRT54G and GS modes are JUNK. I have had the same problem with all hardware version past v4. V5 is when Sisco decided to move away from linux firmware. They cut the ram down to 2meg from 8meg and cpu others. Return the router and get the GL Model if you want Linksys. This way you can load rr-wrt firmware.

    With that said you may need to clone the MAC address of the PC used to setup the account into the router. I believe it's under the advanced tab. Cloning and Spoof mean the same.
