I used the router for wireless and two wired computers. Recently I switched from DSL modem to cable modem and the wireless became intermittent. My IMAC and my laptop can only see the router every one in a while, and very weak - can't open any browser as it times out. I've tried physically moving the router right beside the laptop - same thing. I have reset the router, as well as gone through the setup wizard. No difference. I purchased a new D-Link router WBR-1310, thinking the 524 is broken. Same thing - wired connections work great, but the wireless can barely be seen. I've tried with and without WEP password. Any ideas?

- After going back to the supplier it seems that the 524 wasn't working properly. I did get WBR working properly. Thanks for your help.
You have interference...go into router and override the channel selection from auto to a different channel. The band is limited by the FCC and most manufacturers tend to default to the same channel (frequency).

We have a 3000 sq ft split level house, so range is critical (could we extend range with antennas, access points)?
Stability and reliability are also critical
We use a comcast cable modem
Must support mixed environment - 2 Macs connecting wirelessly, 2 PCs (1 with a wired connection)
We all want to be able to share a printer (which will connect to router with a wired connection)
Network attached storage, media streaming - I'm not worried about these now, looking for basic connectivity. Though would be great if I could grow into this in the future...
