Were you having the same slow connection issues when the wired

my primary problem was a intermittent connection, that would
eventually fail, and often pull the other routers down with it. Then
I would have to reboot all the routers and set them up again.
Running a wired BEFSR41 with a wireless WRT54GS I had no problem.
The problems, for me, came when I hooked up WRT546 as my wireless
router. Of course I can use either the 54GS or the 546 as wired and
wireless but only the 54GS can see my LAN. It is a security to
protect my LAN/data.
You know the unique Linksys way of resetting their routers to default?
Remove any CAT5/ . With it powered on you press the reset button and
hold it for a FULL 30 seconds.
Then release it and immediately pull the power on the Router.
Let it sit for 5 minutes.
Plug it in
It will be back at factory settings.
Are you sure about that? Every Linksys I've dealt with you just had
to hold the reset button in 30 seconds (I've never seen mention of
cabling or pulling the power.) And I have trouble imagining that you
would have to wait five minutes for the reset to work (I've never had
to wait.) I can see with a badly screwed router letting it sit
unplugged overnight as a last resort, but I've never had to let it
sit just to do a reset.
