I bought a Linksys WRT54GS connected to my main PC and wireless adaptor
WPC54GS. The notebook adaptor connects to the access point, there is a
signal, but can NOT connect to the internet.....

And you power-cycled the cable modem after you connected it to the
router's WAN port?

I have successfully connected now. Called Linksys tech. support and a
really smart Indian guy walked me through. I matched the WEP password
on my router with the WEP logon, and then used Win XP to connect the
wireless network. Linksys' documentation contradicted that. They said
for XP users, not to enable Windows to connect the wireless network.
ALL IS GOOOOOD!
