Doe anyone know know if the Linksys wireless G router WRT54 is compatible w/ hp pavilion dv1580se notebook?

Many of the notebooks that have built-in wireless networking are compatible with any wireless router through the Windows OS. While I have not worked with the HP dv1580se, I have connected different laptops to the Linksys wireless G router. Keep in mind that sometimes the proprietary software that comes with the router conflicts with Windows and it is better to leave it uninstalled. I did not even bother installing the software that came with the Linksys. I connected through Windows only.

i have an hp dv1000 series laptop...with intel pro/2200....the thing picks up even the weekest signals b/g...and if your getting a laptop with centrino its even better...it doens't consume much power to surf or work on documents....the only thing that really kills a battery is the DVD drive if your using it.

My Netgear router kept crashing so I got a D-Link and haven't had any problems since. Get a 802.11G router. YOu can hard wire your desktop and just have the laptop connect wirelessly or get a PCI wireless adapter for the desktop so they can both be wireless. Depends on what you want to do.

Press the tiny 'reset' button on the back of your Linksys router (or unplug the unit for about 15-30 seconds). It will reset the router's chip and re-establish a connection with your notebook. If this doesn't work refer to their website and find the toll free number to cantact their techs. I have a Netgear model myself but whenever I've had this problem reseting the unit was usually my solution.

i would go on eBay and see other notebooks that are near the hardware profile that you have. that will give you a good basis.

there are several ways to connect your wireless router. if it has a 4 port switch, it can be connected with a LAN cable (RJ45-RJ45 regular). that cable is what you should have to setup the router (don't do it in no case via a wireless connection).\nthe other way is a connection via a wireless PCI card or a WLAN USB dongle.\n\nPCI Wireless-G Adapter\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833124115\nUSB 2.0 Wireless-G USB Dongle\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833171004\nRJ45 CAT5e Patch Cable\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16812106322

No reason to ask anywhere but here.  Get a Linksys WRT54GL, period.  It must be the GL version, not the G.  It is simply the best router around for the money.  It can perform as well as a router that costs $1000 plus, trust me on this one.  You can find them at newegg.com.\n\nThe L stands for Linux by the way.  Being an open source router its capabilities are nearly limitless.  Stay away from those "super fast" N 108kbs routers.  The technology is too new and you'll never hit or need those speeds.  You'll waste your money as well.  Check out newegg.com and read the users reviews of the product if you need more info.

yes you can do that as long as the frequency is 802.11 b or g. almost all new laptops also have built in wireless and should pick up on your router

yes, for that reason you need a wireless router like the linksys WRT54G (GS)\nyou hook then the router to the modem and the Mac to the router. the laptop PC can then be connected to the router wirelessly.\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833124136\n\nSetting up the router:\n1. change the password of the router\n2. set up an SSID (any name you want)\n3. disable SSID broadcast\nfor your privacy and security\n4. set up an encryption, either WEP or WPA (this prevent from using your internet connection by your neighbors) and has also to be done on the laptop that is using the wireless connection.\n5. addionally you can set up MAC filtering (this has nothing to do with Mac PCs). this can be done (voluntary) to permit only registered PCs to use a wireless network.

you need a wireless router and a wireless card on your laptop.\nthe wireless laptop card may be inbuilt esp if the system is using intels new Centrino or core duo processors or if the laptop has an inbuilt wireless card.\nif not, a wireless PCMCIA card or a wireless usb card is needed

Sometimes it is a good idea to by all the same brand (speedboster will not work with all brands)\n\nhere is a link to the product for notebooks: the part number is: WPC54GS-CU\nhttp://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?pfp=SEARCH&mfg_id=1503&Ntt=linksys+wireless%2Dg+speedbooster&N=0&mfg_name=Linksys&Dx=mode+matchall&Ne=200000&Nty=1&D=linksys+wireless%2Dg+speedbooster&Ntk=All&product_code=311226&Pn=Wireless_G_Notebook_Adapter_with_SpeedBooster

It is an oooold machine and a HP. It proably only takes low density chips and/or just PC 100. Did you check a compatibilty wizard on a website before purchasing?
