Here is the situation in a (large) nutshell:
For several years I had a perfect wireless connection to my shop - (200ft + -), using a Buffalo Air Station Turbo G wireless router at the house, and a Buffalo Air Station ethernet converter in the shop.
After a massive power strike from a thunderstorm, my ethernet converter took a dump. I think a chip must have been fried. After resetting and reconfiguring, the channel setting showed the channel I wanted followed by 4 or 5 vertical lines. No matter what channel I selected, it would have the lines. Everything else setup ok. The converter would not talk to the Air Station router anymore, even after uploading the latest firmware to it.
I tried several wireless routers but could get none of them to talk to the Air Station. I know the Air Station was good because the laptop could access the internet.
I put the Air Station router in bridge mode and tried to talk to any and all of the wireless routers. No good. All the wireless routers were good because the laptop could access them.
I then bought a wireless access point (Linksys wireless G WAP54G) and put it in the shop. It will not talk to the Belkin.
