Yes. The ssid showed up as skippy (same as before all the problems started). After I reset, it showed up as linksys. Seemed normal.

I could admin into it with the wired connection and wireless was turned on (hence my being able to see the network as per above

Haven't opened the case. Not sure it's worth the hassle over a $40 router...

Well, problems started after the power outage on Sunday. I'm thinking, even though it was on a surge protector, that the power problems had something to do with it. Physically fried.

Yah, tried two different laptops (windows and mac). Both could see the network but neither could connect. When wired into the router with an ethernet cable, both could access the internets just not wirelessly.
