I have been struggling on and off for a year to get this working
properly as seen here.

I got it working for about a month or less and then gave up. A few
months later I set it up again got it working and then again it stopped
working, so I gave up. I have been through this exact process a few
times this year. Everything works for about two weeks and then boom my
laptop will not connect to either access point or wireless router.

I have a Compaq Presario 2500(2580US) with a BroadCom 802.11 b/g wi-fi
card built in. Unfortunately, I do not have any other wi fi devices to
test this with.

I just reinstalled the laptop's OS, thinking maybe my wi fi connection
issue is due to some junk on my system causing a conflict. That hasnt
cleared up the issue.

My first and second attempt at getting this up and running the linksys
router I have turned into an access point was over 500 or more from the
linksys ROUTER. The access point is now closer about 250 feet away
from linksys ROUTER and Im still having the same unable to connect
issues.

ATM when I type in http://192.168.1.2 (the address of the access point)
or try to ping it I am unable to connect in browser or ping it. Yet
the PC that is hard wired from that access point is still connected to
the network and I can surf the net with it?

Well i appreciate any comments or suggestions!

Thanks,
Chaser
