I have a Linksys wireless router model wrt54g which is connected to my Virgin modem. My desktop is wired to the router with an ethernet cable and works well. My laptop will not connect wirelessly even though the router can be "seen" and shows excellent signal. The message on my laptop says "poor signal" and cannot connect even when I'm in the same room. I can however connect to an unsecured connection locally. On occasions the router appears to switch itself off with the cisco systems logo in the left side going blank. This lasts for approx 30secs and it then comes back on but the desktop shows local area connection cable disconnected and that recovers itself when things come back up.
I re-installed the router after pressing reset, this seemed ok for a couple of days but now same fault is occuring.
Any ideas / advice would be appreciated.
