Why is my wireless not working, but the wired is?

Yeah... at random times of the day it seems, the Internet will just shut down completely... the wireless, that is. No pattern to it, it'll just cease to work.

YET every computer that is on wireless will continue to show a full signal bar, and an option to connect to it... it doesn't go anywhere though.

The computer that is the source (and wired) will continue to work just fine though.

Everything is hooked up right, so I don't know what else it would be; plus the wireless has a passcode on it.

Wireless model is a Linksys E1000, provider is Bright House (Time Warner.)

    I experienced this myself some time ago.

    what it turned out to be was the cheap POS TrendNet Wireless router was dying.

    Prepare yourself for the idea of buying a new wireless router.
