Assuming that your router is configured and operating properly, this is one of those rare occassions when I reccommend using a driver, and OS software from MS. Specifically for WPC54GS, after installating your software using the CD Wizard, go to Microsoft Updates, and they will have a newer driver for you to download/install. After installing the driver from MS, I also reccommend using the Windows Zero Config service instead of the Linksys Monitor. Again, this personal opinion is currently limited to the WPC54GS. If you aren't sure if your router is configured properly, I suggest you post again for router assistance with detailed router information.

Linksys WPC54GS adapter card not connecting with wireless router
for one you could try and manually connect to the network by clicking site survey then choose your network on the list then connect. make sure to adjust the channel of your router to 11.

another option is to right click the green icon on the lower right corner of the screen down by the time/clock. the linksys icon green icon that has waves on it, right click then choose use windows wireless zero configuration. then confirm it by presing yes.

an icon that look like 2 small computers will apear at the system tray just right that then view available wireles network then connect to your network.

Linksys WPC54GS wireless adapter installation issue
There's a possibility that the adapter is defective. However, you may still try the following:

1. Make sure to uninstall the software if you still have it installed. Remove it from the Programs list or under Add/Remove Programs.
2. Check Device Manager and make sure adapter is not under Network Adapters nor Other Devices. It might be called Network Controller if driver is not installed correctly.
3. Unplug card, shutdown computer and when PC is powered off, plug card back and restart computer.You may insert the CD on this process, but do not run/continue the CD setup wizard.
4. When computer is back on, you should get a Found New Hardware bubble message or wizard.

Just finish the wizard and tell me how it went. Goodluck!
