Connecting a Linksys WRT54GSUK

[SamUK]

Firstly im really sorry if this is in the wrong place.

and second im probably being a bit cautious but i dont kno anything about wireless so i was wondering if anyone has any links to sites or threads where people have connected the WRT54GSUK to a motorola cable modem??

im gonna be using both a wired and wireless connection.

thanx for any help and again, sorry if this is the wrong forum.

do a search on this site for WRT54G, there have been many discussions on the subject

One piece of advice, do a divide and conquer approach to it.

1) Make sure the internet connection works fine without the router in place.
2) Attach the router via a wired connection to the PC and cable modem and check internet connectivity again
3) Set up the wireless without encryption and mac address restrictions and check again
4) Finally set up the encryption; WPA2 PSK is the best option if all your gear can support it and lock access to specific mac addresses (although option differs as to the usefulness of the latter but it can't do much harm).

Wireless can sometimes be a bit of a black-art. It tends to either work or doesn't and when it doesn't work it can be a real pain to fix. By staging everthing at least you'll know where it went wrong.
