After turning the power off for about 1 hour I am unable to connect via my wirless router. I can by pass the router to connect to the internet.

It probably has a firewall not allowing you to connect. You will have to access the router setting and open a port forward to allow your adapter to connect to the router or could be the password was changed from the boxed when it was installed.

Make sure your LAN connection is not disabled,
make sure that you are getting a valid IP address form the router

If you need commands for this let me know, also which OS are you using

hi

if you have already configure your router and it was working following thing could have happen

1) you have lost connection to internet ...go to your router setup page under status make sure you have connection

2) once you have your router connected re-boot your laptop or pc or renew your wirless connection

good luck

- Updating the firmware of your router will do to fix the issue.

Since you are unable to go via wireless, follow these steps:

1) Access your router configuration pages by typing in 192.168.1.1 into your web browser.
2) Click the tab that says Wireless.
3) Make sure the wireless broadcast option is enabled. If it isn't, enable it and select save settings.
4) Set up the wireless network through your Vista PC by going to Start > Network.
5) At the top of the window, select add a wireless device. Follow the onscreen instructions to add your Linksys Wireless Access Point.
6) Once added, right click on Wireless-G Router (name varies) and select configure. Follow the onscreen instructions to configure your router. (You can find your router pin by following steps 1-2 and selecting Wi-Fi Protected Set up.)
7) Once completed, attempt to connect to the internet via wireless router.

Sounds like the router may need a firmware update as the DHCP service is failing to run correctly.

You can however just use a static ip address.
First of all find out the network address in use.
eg. 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.2.1
to find out, - start menu - run - cmd - ok - ipconfig

1. Log on to the client computer as Administrator or as Owner. 2. Click Start, and then click Control Panel. 3. Click Network and Internet Connections. 4. Click Network Connections. 5. Right-click Wireless Network Connection, and then click Properties. 6. Click the General tab, click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) in the This connection uses the following items list, and then click Properties. 7. In the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box, click Obtain an IP address automatically (if it is not already selected), and then click OK.

Note You can also assign a unique static IP address in the range of 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254. For example, you can assign the following static IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway:

IP Address 192.168.0.2
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Default gateway 192.168.0.1

I tried 1 of those for wireless internet and ps3 for hours with no success. Returned it for a higher end model (around 100$) instant success all around..

do it this way :
1. turn off all computers connected to router
2.turn off router
3. if you are using a modem, turn that off too(just switch it off/ take off the power)
4. turn on the modem
5. once you have the power, dsl lights on, turn on the router.
6. once the power and dsl link is on, on the router
7. turn on the computer.
8. open internet explorer-> click tools menu -> click internet options -> click dlete cookies, delete temporary files,delete forms and delete passwords. and click ok on internet options.
9. try 192.168.x.x in the address bar. - it will work.

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!

To setup your router
first check..
Connect the Broadband modem to the computer using an Ethernet cable without the router installed and make sure that the Internet connection is active. If it is not, contact your Internet Service Provider. If it can go online,
to setup connection..
Step 1:
Connect the Broadband modem to the router’s WAN or Internet port.
Step 2:
