Does anyone have a problem with this router? I have the iphone and Touch. Can't get them to connect to this router. My desktop and laptop work fine with this router. My iphone and touch work well at various WiFi places. Just won't work in my home with this router. I called Apple, they say call Linksys. I called Linksys, they say call Apple. This is ridiculous!!!! It's going to *#*^ me off if I have to get another router to make these units work. Any thoughts?

put apple on a conference call with linksys.
might not help, but it would at least be entertaining.

Do you have the router setup as 802.11n only? It could be your laptop and desktop have 802.11n cards. The iPhone and touch don't support 802.11n.

I have the WRT150N. Is this the same model that you have?

In the settings, check the following:
Wireless Tab -> Basic Wireless Settings -> Network Mode -> Mixed.
Also, have you enabled "Wireless Mac Filter"? This option will only allow MAC addresses that you have given permission to access your WiFi. If so, make sure you have entered your iPhones MAC address in there.
If in doubt, do a master reset and try again.

Re-set up your network again....That's what I did. Secured it typed the passcode in on the iphone and it worked perfectly. good luck

Thanks for the replies. I have it working...kinda. I can only use one at a time. That is, when the Iphone is using WiFi, the Touch can't and when the Touch is using WiFi, the Iphone can't. Strange.

Sounds like a DHCP problem. Are you sure your router is allowing more than one wireless connection onto it?
What is the "Maximum number of users" setting under the Setup -> Basic Setup option?

I have a slightly different problem. I have a Linksys WRT54GC. I can connect to it with my 3G iPhone but can't pull anything off the Net. The server connection times out, the update fails, etc. I can connect to and use other WiFi networks, just not my own. Any ideas? There must be a security setting somewhere that's wrong, doesn't there? Which one?

I had that problem with my phone also. Had to replace my phone in the end and it fixed the problem.
