This happens very rare because in any router MAC address is hardcoded so we cannot change it. but as you have said that your router MAC address has changed then first of all I will suggest you to try to solve this problem by resetting the router and after resetting the Linksys WAP54G router you have to check whether your problem get solved or not. as far as I know after resetting the Linksys WAP54G router your problem will get solved.
To reset your Linksys WAP54G router you have to first press the reset button which you will find on the back of the router and you have to press the reset button for 30 to 35 seconds and after that you have to open the web browser in your system and after that you have to type 162.168.1.1 after that configuration wizard will open. now you have to do all the setting again and after that check whether. I think by doing this your problem will get resolved.

I was also facing the same problem and after that I have tried this solution and after that my problem gets solved. I think you should also try this solution and after that let me know.
