Wireless Connection Problem Yellow Exclamation mark!
I have ongoing problem with my wireless router. It works for a 3-4 days then an exclamation mark comes on and I cannot use the internet.
The wireless or wired internet does not work anymore. I have to reset the router and install it again using the CD in order for it
to work again. Once it is installed it works perfectly. What is wrong with the internet. I am guessing it is being interferred
with other wireless networks in the area. How can I solve the problem? Thank you for your help. More info. below

Router - Linksys Model: WRT54G version 2
Firmware version - V4.21.1, Nov. 6, 2006 - I am pretty sure it is right one.

Several other people around neighborhood using Linksys router. Once I release and renew DHCP it gives me IP address,
Subnet mask, Default Gateway, DNS 1,2,3, and MTU. The exclamation mark is still there.
