Yea, lol, it's enough to keep you network guys busy.
I flashed my new router with DD-WRT and love it. Thanks again.
I hope the OP can get some help, but it may be a hardware issue. The gut I sold my WRT54GS to could not get it to work either. (wireless part) so that makes me think it's Windows 7 64 bit. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Keeps changing - (Custom)

Yes the older routers and Win 7 64 wireless isn't working too well at all. Obviously some major changes took place in the 64 bit network stack. Your router still seems to work with 32 and 64 wired but wireless 64 is a problem. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home built
