I have two computers receiving wireless internet via my Linksys WRT54G router. I recently purchased an Acer Aspire one (mini computer) Can hook up to wireless at my daughters and at other places, but cannot hook-up at home - can connect, but states limited or no connectivity - have excellent signal. Any suggestions (I am no computer expert)

Wrt54g can be used as either a wireless router or access point. I am not familiar with your broadband service, but if it has a data port just connect it to Internet port.

Here is a link to the Linksys WRT54GL Wireless-G Broadband Router support site with manual and firmware downloads

You see what is happening is that the signals are hetrodyning together and cancelling out, so it all just messes up because they are on the same basic frequency of 2.4GHz. Either make the antenna(s) Directional,or Try changing channels on either one, or both, if you can set channels as far apart as you can.

Your router my not be DCHP enabled or it might not be assigning the IP addresses either.

I would do a reset and start all over with your security settings and see if that works. Worst case scenario you could always turn security off when your parents or others are there.

It seems that your cabling is wrong. This is what it should look like:

1. Telephone outlet to cable modem (Via telephone cable)
   
2. Cable modem to router (via Ethernet cable)
   
3. router via Ethernet cable or wireless to computers

Does your setup look like this? Please let me know if not so we can configure it correctly.

Is the acer wired to the router? call linksys technical support, if they cannot help try this http://technicalsupport.blog.friendster.com

I don't see why not..
are you trying to hook up both computers to your linksys router?
if you have 3 computers now... I'm assuming your old pc was connected directly to the router, your laptop was connected wirelessly and now you have a brand new computer that you also want to connect to the internet using your lynksis router.. you should have not problems doing it, wirelessly or using a wire...as long as your router has ports avaliable...

you mean not working wirelessly? please elaborate so we can help.. :-)
