I had to reset my Linksys WRT54G Wireless Router. I upgraded the Firmware to version 2.21.1 no problem. I followed the instructions and my network appears as one of the available networks in range (max strength 5 bars!) I click it to connect and as it attempts to acquire the address it say "Limited or no connectivity" I think whatever's wrong is something simple; I suspect it has something to do with the IP Address; I am using the default IP Address 192.168.1.1 Any suggestions appreciated. I may not respond back quickly as my alternate connection is spotty.
If you want to be a real man you’ll sport something like this :)

Srsly I want to build one.
Could be a number of things. I’ve usually seen that message when a computer doesn’t pull an IP from a DHCP server.
Go, Start>Run>CMD. Type ipconfig /release (wait for it)
Then ipconfig /renew (wait for it)
See if you get an address.
You ARE using encryption, correct?
I have somewhat the same problem that has been bugging me for quite a while. I am connected from my laptop via wirelss to my DLink (OK I know, I know) wireless router and every day or so it will all of a sudden just drop the ability to connect to the wireless part of the router while the 4 port wired connections hum along just fine. I try to “Repair” the connection from my laptop but it can never obtain an IP address after the “drop”. I have to power off the router and power it back on to re-establish the wireless connection then it’s fine for a couple of hours or days. I had this same thing happen with my previous Netgear router.
Any ideas?
Not off the top of my head. I am currently using a Linksys 160N with dd-wrt firmware.
No issues whatsoever in well over a year of constant running.
