<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have a Linksys WRT54G v4 with Firmware 4.21.1 For some
reason I can't establish a wireless connection. I have switched it back-n-forth
from Open to WEP. It was open for the longest time and worked without a problem
(several years). I came home from a weeklong trip and it was dead. I tried switching
to WEP and it worked for a day but it is out again. I just updated the firmware
from 4.20.6 to see if that would resolve my problem. After the firmware update
I was able to make a connection with it set to open. I turned WEP back on and the
wireless connection on my EEE PC just sits at Pending... For now I have it set
back to Open but I am not sure how long it will last.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>My concern is that the heat from the attic where the router,
switches, modem and UPS are located has finally gotten the best of the wireless
side of the router. Wired works fine.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Anyone have any suggestion on fixing the little bugger or on
a new router? On a new router I would like a decent range, I am nice and my
brother-in-law across the street likes to borrow the internet.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Please help my Tivo boxes are wirelessly connected to my
network and need to get the programming guide updates. :)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>As for security, right now it isn't that big of a concern, I
live so far out in the sticks most of my neighbors are just discovering indoor
plumbing. I did find one person show up awhile back but I just locked out their
MAC address.<o:p></o:p></p>
