I just bought a Linksys WRT54G wireless router…Can’t get it to work.?
I just purchased a WRT65G router and can not get it to work. I tried to first connect it to my HP Laptop (Vista) with no luck. In the directions it said to go to www.linksys.com/vistasupport to download a driver for Vista, but I couldn’t find it. Anyone know where I can get the driver that is compatible with Visa? I then tried to connect my Dell Desktop (XP) to the router. I ran the CD that came with it and everything went well until I connected the router (wired) and it said that the router was not detected and said to make sure it is a Linksys product. I am really frustated and am hoping I did not get a bad router. Thanks!
