After several different tests I determined the Groove was dead. Luckily I had 2 spares, so after I programmed the new Groove I had to replace the router too, it was fried too.

It's been a crappy day.
Meh, old school Linksys Wireless-G FTW.

This is not my setup, but it's exactly the same, only I have mine on cable plugged into the antenna.

It receives the wireless signal from the Wireless Access Point.

Wireless Internet bro!

The -61 and -63 are my average signal strength numbers. The bigger the negative -60 to -50 etc... the better the signal, too much signal and you can literally fry the radio.

We have some customers that are so close to the AP's that we have to install the radio's in the house, to avoid TOO much signal.

I agree with that!

Cable is great when you can get it.

Ours isn't bad, it just extremely annoying when the cable company is doing work and they don't notify their customers.
