My sister has wired broadband with Magnet. I got her a Linksys WRT54GS in the hope of making her broadband wireless. Her laptop is set to automatically detect settings when using wired broadband so I set the router to do the same.

I can connect to the router wirelessly using WPA but I don't get the connection out to the web. The internet light lights up on the router but obviously no internet is available over wireless.

Has anyone ever successfully setup a Linksys (or any other than the one you have to buy off them) with Magnet or is there any other settings I need to set on the router?

Thanks
