Answer 1

Hi. Some routers are wired but have wireless access points, such as the one I am using (Linksys WRT54G). I have tried unsuccessfully (so far) to bridge them so I can keep my main PC wired and the laptop on wireless, but in the same network. Anyone?

Does your PC have a wifi card? What operating system are you using? ...more information is needed

Conceivably, this problem could be caused by an outside source. Is the computer near a microwave oven? Microwaves run on the same frequency as most Wi-Fi setups. So do cordless telephones and baby monitors. Any of those could cause this problem.
Are your other computers in the same area? If so, they should also be affected. Since they aren't, that would probably rule out an outside source.
Are you using a laptop? If so, and if you have a PC card, that could be the issue. Try replacing the card. Also, I have seen people rest their hands on the PC Card. It contains an antenna. So, if you put your hand on it, the transmission could be blocked.
Your driver could be corrupted. A driver is a program. It tells Windows how to interact with the Wi-Fi equipment. If Wi-Fi is built-in, check the motherboard manufacturer's site. A new driver may be available.
If not, use Device Manager. In Windows Vista, click Start>>Control Panel. Double-click Device Manager. Click the plus sign next to Network Adapters. That should show you the Wi-Fi device. Right-click it. Click Update Driver Software.
In XP, click Start>>Control Panel. Double-click System. In the System Properties window, select the Hardware tab. Click Device Manager. Again, click the plus sign next to Network Adapters. Right-click the Wi-Fi device. Click Update Driver.
Malware could cause this problem. An ill-conceived program could be overloading the transmission. Be sure your antivirus and anti-spyware programs are up to date. Run a few anti-spyware programs. I have free antivirus and anti-spyware programs on my site.
Also, be sure Windows is updated. If it is not updated, it will have a lot of vulnerabilities.

Finally, you could have a hardware failure. If Wi-Fi is built-in, disable it. The computer manual may have instructions for that. If not, it could be disabled in the BIOS. Or, disable it in Device Manager. Follow the instructions above. But instead of updating the driver, click Disable.
Once disabled, use a PC Card or a USB antenna.

Have you tried the modem´s home page? unplugged the linksys and connect your pc direct, try on ie, in the url write "home" and then go to the network setting, depending on your modem that will be it. If you have problems then with the wireless connection enter the linksys menu by writing this in the ie url´s: 192.168.1.1 and con figure the network.
Good luck.
