I have a WRT110 Linksys router hooked to my desktop running vista ultimate. I also have a laptop running vista home basic and another desktop running XP. Whenever I connect the laptop to my network it crashes my router for like five minutes. I can?t connect any of the computers to my network or even access the router settings. When I connect my xp wireless desktop or psp to my router everything is fine. So I took the usb network connector out of my xp desktop and put it in my laptop and the laptop connected well. I do not know if this is a compatibility issue between my laptop network card and the router or if the router is bad. I put the router back to the factory settings and re installing everything and it is fine until the next day then it starts to act up again. I also put all the router info in manually and it still does the same thing. I have not upgraded my firmware because it says I have the newest one already. If anyone can give me anymore troubleshooting steps that will be great.

Your laptop has at least 2 ethernet connections 802.11g is the wireless connection.

Were you using the wired or wireless connnection to connect the laptop?

What happens if you plug the laptop into the router with a wire?

I was using the wireless connection to the laptop. I have not tried to connect it with an Ethernet cable yet. I will have to give it a try. Ii does connect with the onboard wireless adapter it just crashes my router for about five minutes before it recovers itself. It disconnects all computers from the router.
