  We tried to configure the router and received a message that said that we were not connected to the internet. then the installer stops and allows us to continue together top or I stopped continue us until the end, but there is no link at the end of the installation.

  We have no problem connecting with the modem by itself.

  Hi thanks for your help. The problem was when we baught the router it was the oldest in there. We down loaded a newer version of the software and the router is working now. Apparently Brooks is only distributed with new routers. But the new software works beautifully.

• Guest WIFI Linksys WRT54GS by connecting (v6) to ActionTec (verizon fios)...

  Hello

  I want to activate access wifi comments so that I do not share my wifi password main with the guests to allow them to access the Internet (for browsing mainly).

  I currently have Verizon FIOS as my ISP and use ActionTec (MI424WR Rev I). Unforunately, due to certain levels of firmware, allowing access as guest (via dual SSID) is not possible.

  I have an old router d LinkSys WRT54GS (v6) and I was wondering if I can use to connect to my rounter Verizon ActionTec providing guest network? I want to keep Verizon FIOS ActionTec as my main router that I have other devices connected and configured for it.

  So, I was wondering how to connect WRT54GS (v6) to my Verizon ActionTec rounter to leave wifi access without me offering me the passwd wifi main comments?

  My WRT54GS (v6) does NOT run any DD - WRT or OpenWRT f/w but it is running original LinkSys f/w (1.52.8).

  I want to know the following:

  (1) do I need to connect the LAN of router LinkSys LAN Port of Verizon ActionTec port? Or can I connect to LAN_port of Verizon ActionTec WAN_port of LinkSys?

  (2) do I need to disable the DHCP server on LinkSys?

  (3) can I create an additional SSID (with friendly passwd) on LinkSys for allow comments access this SSID while I access my original SSID of ActionTec?

  I went thru' http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=132275 and I tried, but my devices were not able to access internet when connecting to guest SSID.

  Thus, you can enjoy a few tips here. Thank you!

  Kind regards

  Diakité.

  Hi kamdard. You can actually set up the WRT54GS as a wireless network completely different from the one you are currently configuring it with a different name and a different password. If you want the host computers or wireless devices behind the WRT54GS to be able to communicate with the computers behind the ActionTec router then you can follow the method from LAN to LAN. If this isn't the case, then follow the LAN WAN configuraiton.

  Only, you will need to disable DHCP on the ActionTec if you follow the method from LAN to LAN.

  For easy setup, I have personally, suggest that you follow the LAN WAN config. This means that you connect the Ethernet cable between the LAN of your Action Tec port WAN or the Linksys router's Internet port. In this way, you don't have to disable DHCP in the WRT54GS and to access its configuration page via 192.168.1.1 anytime.

  Furthermore, what is the IP address of your router, ActionTec? If it is on 192.168.1.1, too, you may need to change the local IP address of the router Linksys 192.168.2.1. Once done, access the configuration of the WRT54GS page and customize the wireless network and the wireless password.

  Also, before all configurations, it's better reset the unit to default settings. It is done by pressing the reset button at the back of the routerfor 30 seconds while the power is on. Release the button and unplug the unit.

  Hope the above helps.

• How LinkSys WRT54G v7 supports RTSP streaming service?

  Hello

  I use the LinkSys WRT54G v7 and I can see the RTSP videos using VLC player to m.youtube.com. Strangely, I can't play videos if another AP as the DLINK is used instead of LinkSys.

  I analyzed packages and discovered that RTSP server (youtube) sends RTP packets to the ports of the client which are acquired to the RTSP SETUP procedures. Then the Server packets cannot reach the customer because the hole of the UDP is not perforated to the AP.

  But, when I use the LinkSys, RTP packets can cross the NAT.

  That is my question. LinkSys offers NAT traversal for RTSP streaming service? So, why can't find a list of features on this subject from the LinkSys product information? No explanation for this?

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  1. None of the NAT helpers in the Linksys firmware are documented anywhere.

  2. If possible, they added a helper for RTP.

  3. it could also be that VLC player in front of the port with UPnP.

• Linksys WRT54G broadcasts simultaneously two wireless signals.

  Everyone knows the Linksys WRT54G Router broadcast two signals?  I did a wirelss security reset in my modem the other day and changed the name of the SSID broadcast.  Now I have the old and the new SSID broadcast at the sametime.  When I go into my router I see that a new figure.  My problem is that the new SSID I created is encrypted with WPA Personal and older SSID broadcasting still is not encrypted, anyone can jump on the signal.  The older SSID has been initially encrypted in WEP... I can't understand this.  Can anyone help?

  FYI... the new SSID signal is very strong and the most original is weak.

  I turned on MAC filtering wireless in order to prevent anyone with a laptop that is close to my network.

  Your router can broadcast only one SSID. If you have changed and configure WPA Personal then that's for sure.

  The unsecured "linksys" network is your neighbor. If you check the web interface of the unsecured "linksys" network you will see that it is another. See the status page.

• Assistance using Windows using Linksys WRT54G wireless remote

  Please someone help me. I have Qwest DSL service, ActionTec Gt701R and Linksys WRT54G - Version 6.

  If I connect directly to the Modem, send a request for Assistance from a distance, the Expert can connect to me without any problems. Here is the IP ticket RA information-

  RCTICKET = "65538,1,71.215.174.28:38861;192.168.0.2:3389; trippc:3389, *.

  When I'm connected wireless using the WRT54G, send a request for Assistance from a distance, the Expert cannot connect to me with an error that the DNS cannot resolve the host name. I assigned a static IP address to my laptop and the Port 3389 to sent to this IP address, according to the Linksys support. She is the information the RA ticket IP for failure.

  RCTICKET = "65538,1,192.168.0.4:1293;10.10.10.50:3389; trippc:3389, *.

  The IP address in this post are internal addresses, the Expert cannot find them on the Internet.

  Anyone have this working? If you have, please send the instructions step by step that followed you.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Problem solved on the Forum of Qwest. The modem must be changed to use "a transparent bridging. The the WRT54G must be changed from automatic DHCP to PPPoE.

  Public static IP and Port Forwarding have nothing to do with this issue.

  Thanks for your help.

• How to get the IP address Linksys WRT54GS DHCP assigns to a Wi - Fi connection?

  To connect the Linksys WRT54GS to a demonstration of Microchip DV102411 WiFi Comm card I need the IP address assigned by DHCP. The Administration WRT54GS log is enabled, but there is no incoming or outgoing network activity. The DV102411 can see the SSID linsys scanning for wireless networks and attached to it but once attached, I need to know the address IP of the DV102411 has been given by the WRT54GS.

  You can consult the router DHCP client table.

• Question to Linksys WRT54G password

  I have a router wireless of linksys WRT54G hard wired to a mac and I use the router to get your laptop online. Everything works beautifully. Now I have an iphone that I want to be able to use the same network on. When I turn on my iphone it finds the router which of course requires a password. I'm going in what I think is the password and it is denied. I am able to connect to the Web page of the router and access all my settings. On the administration tab, there is a place to change the password. I changed this and entered a new password, but the only thing that changes is the password that is used to get access to the web page of Linksys. (the web page that I can enter to change and access settings) am I wrong to think this would be the same password to my iphone application?

  Sorry for the long explanation, just try to give detailed information.

  Thanks in advance.

  Yes, it's the wrong password.  Look under your security settings wireless / wireless and you will find the password requested.  This will be a key/paraphrase or password depending on the encryption you put in place.

• Wireless router to modem Homeportal 1800 HG 2wire Linksys WRT54G with questions

  I have the Linksys WRT54G, and I'm trying to use it as the router to my modem 2wire Homeportal 1800 HG wireless.  The 2wire has four ethernet Sockets in the back marked from 1 to 4 and a telephone jack to connect to the wall for AT & T DSL service.

  I have the phone jack connected, and:

  -an ethernet cable

  -to one of the sockets at the back of the 2wire ethernet

  -to the 'Internet' on the Linksys ethernet jack

  - and an ethernet cable

  -to one of the ethernet (1-4) at the back of the linksys

  -to the ethernet port on the computer

  The Linksys is unable to connect via the modem and reports that it may not get an IP address from the PPPoE server.  (Directly connect to the 2wire works well though.)

  Who am I wrong configuration?

  There is no side effect of bridge mode... It is one of the mode in which the modem function. When the modem is in bridge mode, you cannot go online with the computer connected directly to the modem... and you will get a 169.254.x.x ip address.

  So after you convert the modem into bridge mode, you must do the PPPoE settings on the router to go online via router.

• Port forwarding on Linksys WRT54G

  Hey I have problems with Port Forwarding on my Linksys WRT54G. The port, I need open is 28960. I followed guides and thought I did everything correctly, but his does not work. Here's what I've done so far:

  -J' put a static IP address and took a screenshot of my settings here:
  

  -Here is my page of port forwarding:
  

  -Under the ' security > firewall "tab I unchecked"Block anonymous Internet Requests ".
  -In addition, I tried to adjust the 'DHCP server' for people with reduced mobility
  

  Is there something that I don't forget or do wrong?

  Evreything is fine... Make sure that the DHCP server is activated (do not disable it)...

  The only reason why port forwarding does not work because this port can still report it as "Blocked", this only happens if you have an old firmware on your Linksys router...

  Update the firmware on your router, reset and re - configure from scratch and do port forwarding, see if it works...

  Download the Firmware from here

  Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware of the device: -.
  Open a page in Internet Explorer browser on a computer hard wired to the router...
  In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1... Leave name empty username & password admin lowercase usage...
  Click the 'Administration' tab - then click on the 'Upgrade Firmware' under the tab-here, click on 'Browse' and navigate the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
  Wait a few seconds until it shows that "the update is successful," after the upgrade of the firmware, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned to the same page OR it will say 'cannot display the Page.

  Now reset your router:
  Press and hold the button of reset for 30 seconds... Release the reset button... Unplug the power cable from your router, wait 30 seconds and reconnect the power cable... Now re - configure your router...

  I have a WRT54GS Linksys with SpeedBooster. On the left of the screen, there is only the rectangle box that you can press on, it says "Cisco Systems" above it. Instead of being gold or whatever the color used to be, it's now a silvery color.

  As far as I know it is, I'm pretty sure that is supposed to be gold. I also reset it, pulled the plug and wait 10 seconds sat there and looked online for ten hours trying to find an answer.

  Help, please.

• Linksys WRT54g + WAP54g setup help

  Yes I know im using a material more older, but its what I have available lol. Hoping someone can help out me. its been listen to me like hell.

  play with it for a few days and I can not understand
  its driving me crazy lol hope someone can help.

  Here's the Setup program.

  WRT54g router is configured in A with connection Wi - Fi on.
  Laptop to wireless connection point C , which lies on the opposite side of the House. so that means that it is very weak signal.

  now looks like A-C

  Now, I tried to put WAP54g to the point B , so that she could get the signal to the point and he raises so that the signal can reach the point C

  so, it looks like now a C-B - less is what im trying to accomplish.

  the wap54g does for AP mode and I tried all the MS and cannot operate. IM missing a step, i just don't know where lol

  Access point
  The AP client
  Wireless Repeater (it seemed like the obvious choice, but it does not work or I did wrong)
  Wireless Bridge

  can anyone?

  Thank you

  If you are referring to my previous post, you can configure your access point in Repeater mode and router and wireless access point communicates and it will send the signal wireless to your laptop. If you want to connect the AP wired to the router then configure the AP in AP Mode.

• Cisco Linksys WRT54GS Wireless-G BroadBand Router

  I recently bought a new laptop with Win7 and tried to connect it to my Wireless Linksys Wireless-G WRT54GS router, who is listed as compatible.  The problem is that the signal continues to decline; I have to keep unplugging the router and reconnect the signal.  I put in the Linksys Setup disc, a window will appear indicating that it is not compatible with this system.  Please notify.  Thank you.

  Unless you are connected to the router via USB - the likely router isn't the issue.  There is no need of drivers for your system (Windows XP, Vista, 7;) Linux; OS X; Android; iOS...) for the router itself - only wireless computer device used to connect to ANY wireless access point.

  -Discover drivers for any wireless network is installed in your laptop that allows it to connect to wireless access points - and visit the manufacturer for drivers and software updated.
