>>>>>Kind of strange. Got 2 laptops and a PC on the wireless network/internet. The two laptops are at 54mbps according to their respective wireless manager apps, but the PC is at 11mbps. The new Linksys USB adapter is a 54g, so I expected a higher connection. It is much further away from the router, but I still would have thought it would connect at 54 and just not process that fast. Just trying to figure out what's going on.

>>>>What kind of signal strength are you getting? There should be settings on the router to only allow Wireless G (54).

>>>Great on the two laptops, but poor on the PC. Though, it says on the Linksys app that it's getting 48, the other thing that looks like a little computer with an antenna says it's only getting 11. Don't know who to believe. The internet connnection doesn't act really slow, but it is slower than the laptops.

>>>Isn't there a generic ip address I can use to get to my router? Couldn't find it.

>>Mike already told you how to get the router's LAN IP address. But if you're going to change your router's configuration you should always do this via a wired connection. Just temporarily plug a patch cable from one of your laptops to the back of the router.

>Yeah, it keeps asking me for my user name and password, but I can't remember it. Doh! I set that thing up a looooong time ago.

I think you may have to hit the factory reset button then.
