I am having a problem with the wireless on this router. For some reason, the wireless internet will only work with the computer the router was installed with. It will not let me renew the ip for any other computer (using the wireless). The odd, thing, however is that my wireless manager says that it has connected, but it seems that it only connects to the LAN portion and not the WAN portion (it connects, but it says it is not connetced to the internet). ANy ideas?

Hmm... Strange.

Make sure when you configure that the Wireless security is Off, and perform the imnitial configuration through a wired computer.

I did that, but the problem is when I introduce a new computer it wont connect correctly. I think the DHCP is messed up b/c it will not let the new computer renew an IP. It gets really annyong because thr thought of having to redo everything just because I need to add another computer seems annoying.
