| I have a Linksys BEFW11S4 wireless AP router, and WUSB11 wireless

| When I installed the BEFW11S4, I lost the use of the adapters for

Are you using the modem on USB or Ethernet?  With ethernet, you can connect
it directly to the router and switch it to bridging mode (ask someone else
here about that, I don't have the modem).  On USB, windows (XP I assume) is
trying to connect the modem to the network, which may cause lots of
problems.  Let the router do everything, but having the same unit as you (I
took it off since it had problems with the Speedtouch USB), I don't remember
having to install any software for it.  Once the driver's were in, that was
it; it was supposed to just detect your cards and set up your network.  Try
to access the router's page...192.168.0.100? (check the manual).  That will
allow you to configure the settings of the router to get it to see
everything for you.  Try, try, try...I know it eventually works.
