I hope you have not make the same mistake with me, that is, to purchase one of the Linksys WAG54GS wireless modem/routers. This device really has a mind of its own.

Yesterday, I finally decided to clean up my desk. All the equipment was disconnected, blowed and wiped out. When I reassembled everything, all seems to work well, except the fact that I was not able to connect to the wireless network, from two different computers. Of course, these computers had successfully been connected to wireless before the clean-up, the very same day.

I tried to power off and on, again and again. Nothing. I checked if it had lost any settings, but no, they were all there. Besides, the device was working, as for the rest.

What finally fixed the problem, was to reset the modem/route by pressing the reset button on the back, using a thin pin, for at least 15 seconds. After that, all settings is gone away. I configured the router and, guess what: I had wireless again! Now, I would really like to hear a logical explanation for this...

Thanks to my best friend Nikos for his advice. If it wasn't him probably I would have thrown this piece of crap right out of the window, this time.
