Yes, I have the Linksys WTR54GS I just got yesterday and when I plug the router into the outlet(regular home outlet), my laptop sees the router and IP of the router and all of that but It wil connect to the internet. I get the full 54Mbps but no internet. Any ideas?

does your Internet come? Free wireless Internet is beginning to appear in some large cities, all others will pay a cable or DSL provider.
I have DSL at home. But I thought thats what the mobile wireless router was for? For you to hook up the router in any place you have a outlet,and create a small wirleless network?
the modem's ethernet port to the router's WAN (Internet) port via CAT5 cabling. If this is your setup I would refer to the router's manual for more concise instructions.
then the wireless device (laptop etc.) can be anywhere within the range.
The back of the box that it came in said that if you wanted to use it just as a router you would have to hook it up with the DSL line (picture on back of the box) then the modem to the internet link port. But beside that picture it said "OR" just plug the mobile router in, and you can get a wirless connection.
I will try the DSL line today.
