So I have this Linksys WRT54G. I've flashed it to DD-WRT.
I'm currently in a dorm. To get internet access, you have to register each device's MAC address. I've registered both my laptop and the router's MAC address. (The router's MAC address as in the WAN port's MAC address. Not the LAN MAC address or the Wireless MAC address, as those are different)
The router gets an IP address from the network. If I connect my laptop via ethernet, I get internet just fine. However, if I try to connect to the router via wireless, it won't connect.
Windows says "Windows was unable to connect to <networkname> network". I've tried disabling security, same thing.
Because I can't even connect to the router, I think it's an issue with the router's settings or the router itself.
Help! Tell me if you need more info, or if you want me to do something or change a setting. You say it and I'll do it. Thanks.
