My router is a Linksys WRT54GL

I have three devices connected to it: 1 PC via ethernet, and 2 wireless devices (HTC Evo phone and Thinkpad laptop)

as of 30 minutes ago, both wireless connections were dropped, and were not able to be reconnected despite clearly picking up router's signal. The PC connected via ethernet is still working fine though

so far, i've reset the wireless password on the router as well as both devices (no change), and even disabled security entirely with the same results. I've also released and renewed the DHCP to no avail

this is a setup that has been working for a couple years now, so i'm a little baffled as to what's happening

any help would be appreciated!
