    Need serious help laptop can't wirelessly connect to the internet.

    Leave the router at WEP if you need the older DS to connect, use 128bit because it just a bit safer. It looks like thing got mixed up, you need to delete all the preferred wireless network in the Windows network manager, then reboot and connect back to your wireless network again.

If you can still get online using a wired connected to the router you know the line/modem is good. If you can't, try to...

    Router is lying to me. Don't have wireless.

    If you reset the router, the default SSID is likely linksys. You need to enable mix mode to support 802.11b/g devices and use WPA/WPA2 mix for older devices. I recommend installing Xirrus: High Performance Wireless Networks - Advanced IT Wi-Fi Networking Tools and post a screen shot with it.

    My Belkin Playmax router won't turn on after I changed some settings and messed it up.

    Not sure what you could be doing wrong but it possible the thing is garbage now. I would stay away from Belkin routers IMO.

    Weird problem I can't find a solution for (internet connectivity)

    It is likely the IP given to you is still register to the old router, try powering down the modem for about 30 sec. If that doesn't work plug the old router back in and go to the WAN configuration page on the router and release the IP. Then plug the new router in. If none of the above works...

    Netgear Wireless Laptop

    Tell your husband to log out the router web page, go on his computer, connect to it and log out the correct way (use the log out button). Apparently it's still thinks the computer is log in and the security setting only allow 1 device to connect at a time.

    Wireless Bridge - Access point for home network

    It's good to know the specification and features that are available to you on the current device, otherwise you could buy something and end up not working. Keep it the same, buying from the same manufacturer increases the chance the product will work correctly.
