[clue-tech] wrt54g v3 problem

[Richard Knechtel]

I don't know about anyone else but I'm done with wireless. I think it's WAY 
over rated. I can't get my computer upstairs to keep a connection to save 
my life. I have the Linksys WRT54G1 (Firmware version 4.20.6) and a Linksys 
WMP54GS wireless network card (in upstairs PC). My internet connection 
(cable modem via Charter) comes in downstairs where it comes into the 
house. I have my PC downstairs hardwired to the WRT54G1 via Ethernet cable 
and it has no problems. The PC upstairs sees the network (at a 50% 
connection rate) but it just won't keep a connection to the wireless 
network much less the Internet - as soon as you try to connect - BAM lost 
connection. Time to hardwire Ethernet. I don't think I want to dump anymore 
money into this money pit called wireless! Anyone else had these problems too?
