Linksys router has intermitent connection to the internet

I had exactly these problems with a Linksys Wag34 router. Did everything advised here, but to no avail. Drove me demented!

Eventually went out and bought a Belkin wireless router. End of problem. Honestly.

Hi folks, thanks for all that advice.

I tried uninstalling the linksys software and then re-installing the card and setting up the network through windows, but I didn't really seem to get anywhere - I had no internet at all and also no connection between the laptop and the router...

So I reinstalled the linksys software, and now very strange thing has happened: the little green linksys icon in the task bar shows 0% connection, but the internet connection is better than it ever has done!

I guess I could put up with the connection showing 0% so long as I can connect to the internet, but it doesn't fill me with a great deal of confidence - I'm scared to turn the laptop off in case it doesn't work when I turn it back on!
