you could use a second wireless router: hardwire its input port to

services you need (firewall, etc.), channel selection, etc. If the
current problem(s) is(are) due to misconfiguration of the wireless
part of the modem/router you've got, this may allow you to simply
ignore the problems and set up wireless that works for you.
That's more or less what I plan to do,
if I can find the password so I can use my Billion modem.
I have a LinkSys WRT54GL in place if I can get the Billion working.
