[Solved] Wireless Linksys, shows connected but NO signal...

All was fine then one day I start getting "little or no connectivity". Going back and forth, enabling/disenabling, manually starting WZC, restarting computer and on and on, it would work again. NOW it is staying connected but I have ZERO signal strength.........I am over it! Please help! Am an intermediate user so please be as specific as time allows Thank you in advance!

What router is this?
What wireless adapter do you have for the computer?
Are you using the windows wireless connection thing, or one that came with the wireless adapter (ie netgear, dlink, etc)

I hate to say throuw more hardware at it without testing it, but you can try a new adapter first to see if that helps. Just something to test the router, it can be any signal type (b,g,n).

no stupid questions, only stupid answers

The adapter is simply the device that you use to connect to the wireless router or access point. The adapter can be a PCI card that goes in the computer, or a USB device. Either is fine. What we are trying to determine is if the problem exists with the router, or the adapter.

Regarding the router, even at 1 year old, its possible for the router to fail.

well, what computer are you using to connect to the router? A laptop? It has the adapter built in. You'd need a USB wifi adapter in that case.
