Try resetting the Linksys router.
To reset the Linksys back to the default settings - Press and hold the pinhole RESET button at the back of the router with the power ON for 20 secs. then release the RESET button.
To connect to your wireless router, the router's wireless settings needs to be configured with the SSID, encryption etc. and also the wireless cards in all the laptops/computers needs to be configured with these router's wireless settings. Then the laptops/desktop computers can communicate with your wireless router.
Connect a LAN cable from the Linksys to the LAN port on your computer.
Open a browser and enter the Linksys configuration URL
http://192.168.1.1
The default login = admin
The default PW = admin
You can protect your router by changing the default admin PW (write it down and put it in a safe place)
Go to the wireless configuration and set up the SSID and WPA or WPA2 encryption to protect your wireless network and Internet from unauthorized access.
Now apply these settings to the wireless card in your laptop/computer.

SOURCE: connecting wireless

Based on the category you picked I need to ask if you want to connect a wireless adapter in a computer to the one wireless router you have or do you have such a large area that you need two wireless routers to cover the space. They are two very different issues. Please add a comment to this issue if you really have two routers -- it is a different problem than the one I will describe.

Assuming the picture of the device is right and it is another wireless adapter you need to connect to the router.-- the simple answer is basically the same as the ones before which is probably not helpful now. (Assuming the wireless adapter is installed and the drivers loaded.) Then if you have an secure network (where WEP or WPA was enabled) you probably will need to connect to the specific network using your adapters manufacturer's software or Windows Wireless Zero Configuration where you will probably need to supply a network name (SSID) and the passphrase that was configured inro the router. If you have an unsecured network your adapter may work without configuration. There is one other possible issue -- most routers dynamically assign ip address and other information to the adapters. If your router was not configured to supply all information including DNS addresses we may have some additional configuration to apply to the wireless adapter.

Please respond if these steps are two complex so I can provide additional information. Please provide the manufacturer and model of the wireless router and wireless adapter if that is the case so I can provide more detailed information specific to your hardware.

SOURCE: making a wrt54gc wireless router work with a wet54g bridge

You shouldn't have to enter your SSID unless you have it hidden. Also, make sure you have the correct encryption set on both sides. WEP/WPA/WPA-2 for the Security type and TKIP/AES for the Encryption type. They need to match your router.

Also, you need ot make sure you are entering the correct IP/gateway/subnet mask address or have DHCP enabled.

Good luck

SOURCE: WRV54G Linksys router right out of box

Do you have DSL or cable? Try resetting your router. Press the reset button on the back of the router and hold it it for about 5 seconds. When the router comes back up type in the router address: 192.168.1.1. If your ISP is using cable, make sure that you have DHCP enabled. If DSL, you will have to put in your username and password given to you by your ISP and you will have to enable PPPOE on your router.

SOURCE: facing problem-(WAP54G)

Try the following steps:

1. Disconnect the WAP54G power adapter.

2. Reinsert the power adapter directly into the wall socket.

3.Remove any power strips or surge protectors temporarily to ensure that these items are not preventing the WAP54G proper operation.Note: Make sure that you are using the power adapter that came with your WAP54G.

4. Plug the power adapter into a different wall socket in another room.

5. Press and hold the reset button for 1 minute. Release the button. Then turn off the WAP54G for another minute. Then turn it back on.

6. If the power light is still red, then you will need to replace the WAP54G.

Connect your main cmoputer directly to the time warner modem. make sure that your computer will be able to go on line when connected directly to the modem. If not then call Time warner.

Did you set the IP address manually on the other computer? Is your router set to act as DHCP server and assign IP addresses automatically? If everything is set to DHCP then check the router and make sure it is transmitting on channle 10. Most providers set the cahnnel to 6 which has issues with HP laptops on occassion and maybe effecting you as well.

I have a Dell XPS 1330 laptop and a DI-524 wireless router.

Unsure what your problem is exactly but here is something to try. Power off all computers, modem and router. Power up the modem first, and wait until it is completely up before proceeding. Next power up the router and wait until it is completely up, the only light that probably wont be lit is the LAN light. Then power up each computer, they can all be powered on at the same time, that part really doesnt matter. See if that fixes the problem.

Can't connect to wireless connection from laptop

There are only two options for you to get online like this:
  1. Use a cable to connect to the router. A network key is only used for wireless connections - cable connections are always allowed, unless MAC filtering is enabled.
  2. Reset the router to factory defaults. This is the main support page for your router (firmware, manual etc.) The direct link to the manual is here.
!!!Resetting the router to factory defaults erases all settings you have done. But since no one knows the password, I don't see another way. I would definitely take this step - you have to do it sooner or later anyways. And then at least you know the password!
Have your username and password for your DSL connection ready - you will need that information to connect to your service provider.

The Reset button is on the rear panel of the router.
1. Press and hold the Default Reset button until the Test LED turns on (about 10 seconds).
2. Release the Default Reset button and wait for the router to reboot.

Once the router has finished rebooting, connect to the router by typing http://192.168.0.1 in the address field of your browser.When prompted, enter admin for the user name and password for the password, both in lower case letters.

Voila!

Unable to detect my router

This is because your router is setting your pc at a different IP address than your original modem. Make sure router is set to enable DHCP which gives out an automatic ip address and check your wireless card and network cards are set to obtain ip address automatically. It may take a few re-starts to get on the internet as your systems will need to clear their previous DNS settings. Also i assume you have set up the home network wizard (XP) as you are now using a router and not a direct modem. Also try Start>Run, then type ipconfig /flushdns then press enter.
