I too, am having the exact problems as you- only my router is a 
BEFSR41. Linksys tech support is of no help whatsoever - even trying to 
comprehend the accent is a major hurdle. I've been given every possible 
excuse from ' the router doesn't work with Mac' to ' the problem is 
with your ISP'. I have been going back and forth with Verizon (my ISP) 
and Linksys for the past three months! I don't see why configuring a 
router and modem is such a big PITA. I have tried various forums, 
exchanged the router, changed cables etc and still no connection. I am 
convinced it is a configuration problem. Desperately seeking help of a 
tech guru! Anybody?
