hey, just to add to my previous post...if nobody knows how to fix this problem then im planning on uninstalling and re-installing my router and the whole of my wireless connection setup...but im not sure how to do it really. theres no real advice on uninstalling on the cd that came with my router. i mean, do i disable the device 1swt then uninstall the driver n then disconnect all the wires? etc. would be grateful of any help anybody can give please, either on fixing the problem or re-installation. thanks again
