Been ok with this for months but would now like to sort this issue out. To connect to the wireless network from my Vista o/s laptop I have to first power up Virgin modem until both 'Sync' and 'Ready' LEDs have stopped flashing then I can switch on the Linksys router.
If I turn the router on before the Virgin modem has fully booted or both at the same time, I can't pick up the network. I believe the issue is with the router having to wait for the modem to deliver the IP address.

Is there a way to fix this?
I always swtich off all elec stuff at night or when not using for a prolonged period so leaving both modem and router permantly on is not an option for me.

cheers
