Your router's wireless configuration has been changed ie SSID, WPA encryption etc. and therefore the wireless card in your computer needs to be changed as well so it can connect to the wireless router. Please click on this link for my instructions to secure the wireless network, configure the wireless router and the wireless in the computer :-

Craig tablet cmp741e

This can be caused by a number of issues most have to do with the router itself and not the tablet. First, let's make sure the router DHCP Server is not frozen so take the following steps:
Step 1: If the router is separate from the Cable or DSL Modem, power down the router/wireless, next power down the cable/dsl modem. Power up the cable/dsl modem wait 60 seconds then power up the router/wireless wait 2 minutes
Step 2: Try to connect to the wireless
Step 3: If you have a modem or wireless router supplied by Comcast, Verizon, AT&T or any major carrier, contact them asking them to walk you through resetting and rebooting and updating the firmware to the router/wireless.
Step 4: After the reset and update try to connect, if it fails move on
Step 5: Log into the wireless/modem - let's change the wireless encryption. Go to the wireless settings, change the wireless settings to WPA Personal and add any pass-phrase. Try to connect using the new pass-phrase.
Step 6: If you still can not connect, as a last resort switch the wirlesss encryption to WPA for testing. Try to connect, if this works contct the vendor and have the modem replaced.

How do I set up my 7501 wireless router? I have a westell router model a90-750115-07. It was working yesterday with my old modem and we were upgraded to a faster internet modem that allows a home phone....

Admin/password should take you in.
This 7501 is preconfigured to be a wireless router. You should be able to directly connect it to Internet (Cable/DSL modem) to Wan port and use the details of Wireless access in the back of the modem to get connected. By default it is setup to WEP and the access details are on the back of the Westell 7501.
Its available for 19.99 on VErizon site now.

Unfortunetly this is a common problem with alot of wireless routers. for some reason they get locked up and don't refresh themselves and only solution is exactly what your doing until the manufacturer comes out with software that doesn't lock up every now and then

Your IP address for you linksys router needs to be changed.  More than likely there using the same IP address such as 192.168.0.1.
You have to convert your linksys router to a switch and change the IP address range it uses to on that doesn't conflict with the Verizon router.
10.150.1.1 should work.

Dropping wireless connection

The problem may not be with your router. I had a situation a year ago with the modem dropping the signal everyday. I spent hours on the phone with verizon tech support to no avail. They sent someone out to my home and he put a filter on the main line coming into the house which didn't resolve the issue. Then verizon insisted the modem was bad so they sent me an actiontec. Turns out that the problem had nothing to do with me. They try to squeeze as much bandwith at their switching stations as they can. They switched me over to another hub and viola no more problem.
