Make sure you are plugging the SMC into the WAN port on the Linksys router and not the LAN ports. Your internet connection (which is your SMC) should always plug into your WAN port on the Linksys. Any computers that you may need to plug in, like Desktops that are "wired" and not "wireless", should plug into the LAN ports on the Linksys. If you are not using the WAN port on the Linksys for your SMC modem, then that would explain why you cannot get to the internet on wireless or wired computers.
Here's why you are getting the "low connectivity" message:
Computers don't understand why the Internet is connecting or not connecting...so the "low connectivity" message you keep receiving has nothing to do with your wireless signal strength. To a computer NIC, "low connectivity" means your network adapter could not find a DHCP server and receive a valid IP address. When this happens, your network adapter assigns an IP address to your computer in the following range...169.254.0.0, and will display the "low connectivity" message until it is able to receive a valid private IP address from the DHCP server. You can verify this by going to START | RUN and typing "cmd" (without the quotes), then hit ENTER. A black box will pop up....then type "ipconfig" (without the quotes) and hit ENTER. This will show you your IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address, and you can verify that your IP address is in the 169.254.0.0 range. A valid private IP address is typically in the 192.168.0.0 range, but could also be in the 10.0.0.0 range, or the 172.16.31.0 range.
Also, make sure you have DHCP server enabled on the Linksys router for the LAN. This will ensure your "wired" and "wireless" computers receive a valid IP address.
The WAN port on your Linksys router should be configured to "Obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP".
Cheers!

There is a section in the router that says Status. In order to get to the router webpage, choose your start button and then choose Run. From there you want to type in the letters:
cmd
and then press the OK button
When the DOS like box opens, type in
ipconfig /all
Notice the line that gives you the Default Gateway, should have something like:
192.168.1.1
at the end of it.
Whatever the number is, mark it down. Connect your laptop or pc to the router. Pull up the 'web' and then try to visit the Default Gateway ip address instead of a website:
http://192.168.1.1
if it asks you for a user name and password, choose the password field and type in
admin
hit the keyboard enter key and see if you can get into the router web page. If you can, then check the status section and see if you have WAN or Internet connection to Comcast or Cox or whatever your internet provider is... it should NOT say 0.0.0.0
If it does, then you want to make certain that the cable from the MODEM to the Linksys router is going directly into the router's Internet or WAN port. If this is the case, consider using another cable. If that does not work, you may be better off buying a replacement router. I have always had luck with a Netgear wgr614. It does not give you the fastest, but faster speed routers often requires unrealistic upgrades, and it not necessary for daily use if this Linksys router has worked well enough for you in the past.
Additionally, know that these routers are sensitive to power surges and a SURGE PROTECTOR, not a power strip, may be the smartest investment you can have for both your pc and your modem / router.

Check the IP address on the Vista wireless network connection. Make sure that there is not static IP address on the wireless connection. That could be one of the reason.

Make sure that your computer is able to go online through the modem.
If your computer is not able to go online through the modem then you will need to call ISP first.
If your computer is able to go online through the modem
then you need to connect the computer to the router and the modem to the router.
open the set up page of the router and change the settings of the router according to the ISP.
