I have a linksys WEFW11S4 wireless router 4 port switch, that up until the other day was working fine.

I can get DHCP to work for the wired PC's, but when I try to connect with my wireless laptop, I get connected with limited or no connectivity. I have tried 2 diferent laptops and 1 is a brand new out of the box DELL laptop.

I have reset the router, reset teh IP stack on the laptop which is running XP PRO SP2, rebooted, tried using a static IP with the deault gateway set to the IP of the router, nothing works.

The router is broadcasting the SSID, and the laptop connects, but when I do an ipconfig /all, it show I don't have a default gateway. My wired deskptop PC works fine and is able to get the default gateway and IP from DHCP...I am using the desktop PC now to enter this on the forum/ I've changed the Wireless settings on the router to disable WEP, and adjusted the Beacon Interval from 100 to 50, RTS threshold from 2436 to 2304 and Fragmentation threshold from 2436 to 2304. nothing has worked.

I have also power cycled my cable modem and router.

Is there anything else I might could try before I go out and buy a new Router?

I have also updated the firmware for the router, and it had no affect on it.
