1 - If we power on the router and the laptop, the laptop sees the wireless network, but if we connect the router to the internet, the router restarts continiously.

2nd router - This when connected to the internet is fine, but will not issue an IP addy to the laptop.

The laptop works fine running through the router using RJ45.

Andy ideas?

first router fooked then

2nd,

have you enter SAME ssid in both laptop and router?

start off with NO security or encription

make sure router has had DHCP enabled
