Limited or no connectivity

Hello all,

I have a linksys wireless router model WRT150N and a linksys wireless NIC model WUSB54GR. The router is in the basement and the NIC is on the second floor. When I try connecting to the network I get the message
" Limited or no connectivity " although it tells me that the signal strength is Excellent. I am using WEP encryption. Here is what I have done :

I went into the router configuration :

1. Made sure the MAC address of the NIC is added to the " Allow List"
2. On the computer to which the NIC is connected entered the network SSID and the network key.

Does anyone have an idea about what is going on ?

Thanks

Limited or no connectivity usually means the network connection is connected but not getting an IP address. To verify, try putting in the address you want to use manually and see if that gets you a connection.
