    I have a WRT54GS router (it's wireless g) and every time I click on the connection my g73 immediately says it failed. I'm wondering if the atheros 9285 is not compatible with g series routers or if there's some way to change the atheros connection settings...any thoughts?

    Before I replaced my 9285 with the Intel 6300 N it worked fine with G and N routers. Try it somewhere else to rule out your router being the cause of your difficulties.
