Disconnect Problems

I subscribe to ameritech DSL, I have had no problems when wired with
dsl.

However, when wireless, I get disconnected a lot, sometimes for just a
minute, others longer. I have a linksys wrt54g version 3.0 router and
the dsl modem was a speedstream 330. I just got a new dsl modem,
speedstream 4100. Any suggestions on what would be a solution to my
disconnect problems would be appreciated.

I have a similar problem with the WRT54G. I contacted Linksys and they
suggested Answer ID 154 from their Knowledge Base (www.linksys.com/kb).

I tried it and (good news) it worked.

But (bad news) it involved turning off encryption.

I contacted Linksys again about getting encryption to work. I had been
using WPA and they suggested trying WEP. I'm trying that now, and so far so
good.

I realize WEP is weaker than WPA, so I'm not as happy as I might be, but at
least we're on-line. MAC address filtering is enabled for a bit more
security.

Currently contemplating next step.
