My dear neighbors have just switched over the AT&T DSL and would like to attach their WRT54GS Linksys router to create a wireless network.
Their OS is Mac OS X v10.5.x
The AT&T Modem has 5 lights.
The Linksys router has one "Internet" ethernet cable port, to connect the cable from the modem, and then four wired ethernet ports.
When they connect their MacBook with an ethernet cable to one of the Linksys wired ports, they get internet access just fine.
Also, their MacBook sees the wireless router (lots of bars), and can edit the router settings wirelessly at 192.168.1.1, or wired.
BUT, they do NOT get internet access wirelessly.
So the modem is working, the wired aspects of the router are working, the wireless connection between the laptop and the router is working, but the internet communication is not working through the wireless aspect of the router.
Any ideas?
