SMC Wireless B router issue

Well, my little one finally managed to pull a fast one today and now the router is not working for some reason. All the lights are flashing and and I was even able to get in admin panel too via my hard wired desktop but damn thing won't connect to wireless. Any ideas?

Didn't want to start another thread. Any good Wireless routers out there? SMC B router has been total pain in booty.

Anyone has this one? Any good?

Edit again. Or should I just get Extra antennas? Have to reset modem and router every morning. Everything works the night before. Using WPA ... Same thing used to happen with WEP

Linksys are decent routers (part of Cisco ) for sure. i think i would rather get the Linksys rather than upgrading to more antennas.

for what it's worth i bough this netgear one: http://www.amazon.com/Netgear-RangeM...931336?ie=UTF8

but after a lightning strike i got upgraded to this one:
http://www.netgear.co.uk/extra/h_ran...ter_dg834n.php
which is higher spec - 270Mbps ADSL2 etc

not sure what the ppl did to get the problems they post about with bad reviews. i had a belkin wifi router (DONT EVER GET BELKIN STUFF!), which lost connection a few times a day due to the heavy use it got, but the one in the link (and the previous one) never dropped connection once in 4 / 5 months, only had to restart it when playing with firmware. so i'm really pleased with these.

Yeah I'm big fan of linksys myself. Tried D-Link once and returned it within a week. G routers came right after I bought the blasted B one. Just a week apart. But oh well. I guess no one has used Linksys G Superbooster. I also saw a V router by linksys. Any ideas?

Note: Someone going to hit my iggy very soon. Hint Hint.


One last edit: New router is N but seem to have lots of issues. Bad reviews on Amazon...
