I have a laptop and a desktop pc which are both connected via LAN connections of wireless router to the internet. The other day I was working online when suddenly there was a power outage to my home and just as suddenly the power was restored (literally a fraction of a second). I was unable to continue my use of the internet when the power returned and I noticed that my router's LAN lights were all out. Normally, 2 of the 4 LAN lights are on. I disconnected the power to the router, waited 30 seconds and reconnected the power. The LAN lights remained off. I did this several times with no success. The internet light on the router was on. I called my ISP, Surewest, and the rep told me that from his end I was connected to the internet. So, it would appear that my router is connected to the internet but, for some reason, is not connecting my laptop and desktop via its LAN connections to the initernet. Can you offer any assistance? Thanks.

- I am sorry, but could you please give more elaborate details as to what steps were taken to remedy the problem. Thanks.
I recently experienced this on laptop and desktop, using a lynksys wireless. I was able to go into each system to network connections, and tell it to connect. I haven't had a problem since........hope this helps you!

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...
