I cant put safety as

Are you trying to secure the wireless network?
For this you will need to access the router setup page and change the settings manually.
See how to secure wireless network.

If you are not able to save the settings then I will suggest you to upgrade the firmware of your router. The reset the Linksys router and reconfigure it manually.
Create a new wireless network. Change the name of the wireless network that you never used before.
Then try to connect to the new wireless network.
See How to reset Linksys router.

Change my settings from wep to wpa I have a belkin 54g

when you change the wireless security on the router , it is recommended tht you will change the wireless network name also ( SSID ). Because when you try to connect to the wireless network on the computer, your computer will try to connect to the same old network name with the old wireless security settings. To avoid this you can change the wireless network name. WPA is supported by windows XP SP2 and above operating system.
If the operating system on your computer WINDOWS XP SP1 and if you are trying to connect using the windows utility then you would not be able to connect to the network .

My computer will not automatically configure my wireless connection even tho it is set to do so automatically. I have to manually tell it to look for connections each time I boot up

open wireless connections and delete the network settings completely then set it up again, you have manually disconnected from the network at some stage which is why it doesn't auto connect each time. To delete the settings you need to go into advanced settings, as you dont say which windows version you have i cant give specific instructions

to DISABLE .

2. Make a secure wireless encryption key for your connection:
see page 87.
2.1 For most secure key select WPA / WPA2 only and SAVE SETTINGS .

that must be entered to get access to the router.

Can't connect home comp to laptop

how many wireless computers do you have?
is it a dekstop or laptop?
if desktop have you installed a wireless adapter? if laptop, is it using a built-in wireless adapter, have you enabled the wireless adapter or have you installed a wireless adapter?
-------

please make sure first that the wireless adapters are installed properly or enabled on your computers, if everythings OK.

-------

access the setup page of your router and change the wireless settings of it.

how to access the ui
- open the internet explorer
- on the address bar type in 192.168.1.1 hit enter
- enter admin under password, leave it empty for the username and click ok
- click the wireless tab
- set the wireless mode to mix, change the wireless network name or ssid with any preferred name you want to use, make sure to enabled the ssid broadcast and then click save settings.
- after that, under wireless tab, there are sub tabs, click wireless security
- set wireless security to WPA-PERSONAL, and under passphrase, enter your desired password for wireless connection, take note of it and please be reminded that its case sensitive.
- click save settings.
----------------------------
for your wireless computers, if adapters enabled and working fine, on the system tray you should have an icon for the wireless connection, doubles click on it and it will pop for the wireless connection window wherein you can see the name that you set on your router, all you have to do is select the name click on connect and it should ask you enter a password, enter the passphrase you set on the router and click connect. then check if you can go online, if yes do the same thing with other computers.

DO NOT REMEMBER SSID NAME GIVEN TO ROUTER WRT54GS---LOST PRINTED COPY OF SET-UP. HOW CAN I REPRINT OR JUST FIND OUT INFO

You can see the SSID name from one of your wireless computer that is already connected to the wireless network. Just point your name over the wireless little computer icon down at bottom right hand by the time. It will say there "Wireless Network Connection, Connected to "name of the network". That "name of the network" is the wireless signal name like "Linksys" or whatever name you gave to your network when you setup the router. That's the SSID name as well. Wireless Network Name = SSID.

Wifi

There is a possibility that the user name and password that you are using is not used for the wireless connection of the network. If you have WPA enabled on your router, you need a password with a minimum number of 8 characters. If you enabled WEP on the router, it may need 10 or 26 characters depending on what type of encryption is enabled on the router.

You can check that using the Web interface of the router. Try these steps:

1. Connect a computer to the router wired then restart the computer.
2. Launch an internet browser and type in http://192.168.0.1 or if you changed the IP, use the changed address.
3. If it asks for a user name and password, set admin as the user name and password as the router password. If you have changed the password, use the new password.
4. Click on the wireless and check the security type. Make sure that the Mac filter is disabled and there you can find the network key set on your computer.
5. You can then use that key to connect your wireless computer
