I have a hughes HN9000 satelitte iinterent and want to connect it to a linksys g router. I can get it to work as long as all are plugged in, but when I try to go wireless I can't. I am told that both work as routers and I have to change sometihng on my linksys. any suggestions?

if the hughes is the modem+router.......chk the wan ip of the router if it is 192.168.1.x
change LAN IP to 192.168.2.1....unplug powercable of router replug it ....it should work

If you have a wired connection to the Linksys router working, there's no reason the wireless won't work as well, this is not a problem with compatibility between the two devices.

Have you disabled all encryption on the Linksys as a test and tried to connect that way? How about changing channels on the router?
