I have a new Linksys WRT54gs router and a new Dell laptop.
The router works well with the cable attached but when I go to wireless,I get a strong signal but unable to get on the internet with WEP security.
With security disabled the wireless works fine. But will not connect to the internet with WEP security on. I tried to use the CD install disk that comes with the router but ir does not help.

- Linksys setup page should open.
- Now click on the WIRELESS TAB and on the basic wireless settings change the defale SSID NAME to a name of your choice and also click on reset security and click on save settings.
- Reload the page and now go to wireless security tab and select WEP in the security tab.
- Now type a 10-character password in the KEY 1 field
- Click on SAVE SETTINGS and that's it.
- Now when you connect to your network you will have to enter your 10 char password on your DELL LAPTOP and it should work fine now.
