Unhappy Wireless Problems After Window's Update

Recently, I done a regular windows update like I always do, I got all the necessary updates which was an update for windows xp and security updates for Internet Explorer. I restarted, now before....my wireless was working fine. I restarted as it required it.

I boot up and try to access the net, I'm using a Linksys WUSB54GS v.2 network adapter. I open internet explorer and firefox - CANNOT FIND SERVER/PROBLEM LOADING THE PAGE.

Then 10 seconds later it will receive a connection and work slowly. Then sometime later maybe 45 seconds..it'll show cannot find server. It does this repeatedly..

I'd really appreciate any help I can get!

Go into Control Panel>Network Connection and find the connection that isn't working and right click on it and click repair to see if that might help.

I have done that several times and no luck....no other computers in the house that have the adapter and is connected to the router is having any problems..

Is there any way I can roll back the updates?

Go into Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs the click the box on top "Show Updates". If you know which update it was you can just remove it.

Was one of the update an update to the device driver for the wireless network card itself?

If DanBB's recommendation doesn't work and if you updated the device driver (due to a possible security issue) then you might try rolling back the driver to the older version and see if this works. If it does then you might want to update the device with the latest device drivers from the manufacturer and not Microsoft.
