Router problem

[gthorley]

I have a Linksys Wireless-B model BEFW11S4 connected to 3 computers by cable and a laptop by wireless.

Everything works great except for the wireless Laptop connection. I use my laptop sparingly, actually turning it on say every several weeks. Ocassionally I find that while it shows I have a wireless connection (strength excellant) it isn't connecting to my other computers or the internet. If I unplug/replug power to the router everything then works and I get a connection.

Thoughts anyone on what is happening here, I have tried opening network connections clicking on my connection and connect but it doesn't solve the problem.

That's a very usual occurance. With all brands of routers, D-Link, LinkSys, etc....

Actually i'm having the same problem with my D-Link. Signal is EXCELLENT, but just no connectivity.


Solution, firstly, I'd try calling your Router manufacturer's helpline and go through some problem solving steps with the operator. That should solve it. If anything, at least they will log it as a problem, so hopefully fix it with new firmware or future models.
