setting up the Linksys WRT54GL
I have trouble setting up the Linksys WRT54GL wireless router.
Target: multiple computers get internet through DHCP, logging in with password on visible network.
current setup is WPA personal with network name public. This configuration is very unstable, with connection dropping off. Trouble on all computers, Apple OS software update is impossible because the connection breaks all the time. There loads of settings that are totally obscure to me (one needs knowledge of the highly secretive linksys lingo)
Maybe some one uses this router and can send me a config file?
the manual:

Maybe check the connection without security, eventually in such a manner that the security riscs are small.

Good luck, Kees
