I need dire help. Here's my situation:

-I have a desktop downstairs, with a Linksys WRT54G router and a Cable modem.
-I have a laptop upstairs, (supposed to be) wirelessly connected to the router.

Since the other day, my laptop won't stay wirelessly connected for more than a few minutes at a time. During the short time I am connected, on the "available WIRELESS networks" screen, it says I'm "not connected!" WHY IS THIS?!

This happened a few months ago, I fixed then it by setting up the "Secure Easy Setup" thing on the router. I tried that this time, but it doesn't work! What do I do? I can't figure it out! Please help as soon as possible! This is gonna make me go crazy! Thank you in advance!What happens when you move the laptop closer to the router / try TEMPORARILY disabling your security (WEP or WPA) and see if that helps.

Alan <>< I tried... I GET an "excellent" SIGNAL but it still constantly goes out. Also, I have my security disabled and it's still doing the same thing. "Since the other day, my laptop won't stay wirelessly connected for more than a few minutes at a time." What has happened "Since the other day..."?
