Ok, lets verify installation of your network.
1) You have your Broadband modem connected to the WAN port on your router.
2) Then you connected a PC to a LAN port on the router and typed 192.168.2.1
and that gives you the login page. type the password and your in.
3)Start the configuration wizard and follow the directions for each step.
4) Then you will enter the advanced Setup.
5) This is were you pick your SSID, Channel, WEP, WAP, Enable DHCP, MAC
FILTERING and many other options. ****For this try disable all encryption
Static IP assigning and filtering and make sure DHCP is Enabled.
6) ****Also make sure the Zone Alarm Pro option is disabled. This option
will block all clients from connecting to the network unless they have Zone
Alarm Pro running on the computers. Remember to hit the apply button after
selecting disable****.
7) Now goto the status section of your router. This will show you what
systems are connected to your router and the DHCP status of each client.

Go turn on your wireless computers. Bootup and log in as normal.

Now go back to the desktop that is logged into your router and refresh the
status page. What does it say?
