Security WRT54G problems

I see a lot of posts here that address of wireless security, but I have a few questions that I can't find answers to. I apologize if I missed something.

I'm running a wrt54g ver.2. I don't think that the firmware has already been upgraded (how do you know for sure?). Two PC will access the internet through the router, either wireless or wired connection at different points in time.  A PC running XP, the other runs Windows7. There will eventually be a laptop running Windows7.

QUESTIONS

  1. I changed the router access password. The first time I connected wireless, I had to provide the password. Since then, I have not been invited for the password when connecting. I don't know that I deliberately did something to cause the router to allow this specific computer to connect without providing a password again: I may very well have done something I don't remember not or that I have not to the achieve of time was to "Save" the password. Is there a way to verify that other computers, which have not already provided the password, it will prohibit to connect? Like, is there a place I can display using 192.168.1.1 which will definitively confirm course status?
  2. Is the password to connect the same as the password for the management of the router put in place through 192.168.1.1? The reason I am wondering is that I am still able to get to 192.168.1.1 with the admin password. I have not tried using admin from a computer that is already connected to the internet via the router. -What makes the difference?
  3. In the same sense that question #2, https in 192.168.1.1 option affect only computers that are not connected to the internet through the router? I haven't specified the https option. My concern is that once I have specify the https option, I won't be able to get to 192.168.1.1, because my computer is not a valid certificate.
  4. Y at - it a display by 192.168.1.1 which will show you which computers are connected?
  5. The firmware update will bring extra security?

TIA,

Phil

Yes. This is one I had read entirely and returned through more than once. I was pretty well convinced of the position of the expert called (9000 + posts was?), until I read this:

<10 locks="" are="" more="" secure="" than="" 2.="" why="" don't="" you="" use="" 10?="">

I'm always a bit wary when someone tries to make a point with this kind of rhetoric, instead of the straighforward more ' well 10 locks may be safer than the 2, I'd use more than 2 because...» ». This is the part 'because' who is absent. So I left not being not sure what position is more convincing.

4. maybe you can try Network Magic.

OK, I just downloaded the free trial version. I'll reportbravohelen:

Thanks for your help, p4p.

  • connection iPhone WRT54G problem

    I have an iPhone 3GS that I am trying to connect to my home network but have a problem.

    My router is a WRT54G that is set up with WPA2 Personal.  I have connected a laptop computer and two TiVo for this network using the key I have the Setup on the router but I can't my iPhone to connect to the network.  Am I right in thinking that when fror iPhone ask you the password, it actually asks the key?

    If this is the case, the phone sees the network but will not accept the key.  I just get a message saying that it is impossible to connect to the network.

    Am I missing some sort of setting?

    Hello!

    Please check the version of the firmware on your router and its hardware version (if it is low version, be sure to update its firmware for more later). Before upgrading the firmware, try disabling wireless security and check if all devices will connect including your iphone 3GS. If it works, it can be a security problem, try tweeking the algorithm for WPA2 Personal (you can use only AES or TKIP and AES or TKIP).

    Once you are done with this option, and even your iphone 3GS does not connect, it may be that the router is not compatible with the latest iphone 3GS. Try to connect your iphone 3GS to other networks and network your friend if possible use an (old or new) Linksys router.

    In any case, there is no harm to the checking options. My friends meet same question you have, but it worked after that we tried the steps above. Good luck!

  • Configuration WRT54G problems

    I put my WRT54G Router returned to service after two years somewhere else. Configuration went well up to a point, but I'm unable to change the settings (at least) two areas of wireless configuration.

    First of all, the router is now set to WPA Personal and I want to change my personal WPA2. In the basic/WIreless wireless settings page, I choose WPA2 from the drop-down list box, but he immediately returned to WPA. Second, I want to restrict the use of a specific set of MAC addresses. Wire/Wireless MAC Filter, I can click on the 'Enable' radio button, but it jumps to "turn off" immediately.  Powering everything down, leaving everything and restarting has no effect.

    The bottom of the router is marked WRT54G V8 and the status page displays FIrmware Version: v8.00.0, January 16, 2007. I thought that a firmware update might be in order. Downloads WRT54G (http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=148648) shows version numbers upward through 8.2, but nothing in 5.0 and above says, "No download of the firmware/driver available." Version 4.0 offers v4.21.5 (24/02/2012). What is the current version of the firmware? Seems a lot lower than 8.00.0.

    Firmware upgrade or not, I want to be able to change the wifi settings.

    Options?  Thank you.

    I use a wired to the router, even if it goes through another router first as an additional firewall. I did the hard reset twice with no improvement in the situation.

    Then I discovered the problem: for some bizarre reason, Linksys requires cookies to make changes on the mode of security and MAC, filtering of the screens. I use a strict cookie Manager in Firefox, and once I have authorized temporarily cookies all went well.

    Sorry for the misdirection.

  • WRT54GS problem with bittorrent

    I have a WRT54GS, flashed to firmware v 1.52.8. It was working fine until a recent move. I put in place after that I moved into my new place and got connected services (Comcast) and that's when I noticed the problem. I have a PC connected via CAT5 via the router and use the point wireless for my laptop. In the past, my average download speed on torrents with seeds decent were about 1.5-3 MB/s (Yes, it's MBps Mbps not...) I know the difference) recently however, they head to anywhere from 150 to 250 Kbps Kbps. Uploads are not affected... they seem to be on average about the same. In addition, during the torrent download, web browsing/email/etc does not work: everything happens to expire despite the QoS settings I have in place on the router to avoid these problems.

    At first, I assumed it was my ISP throttling my connection - Comcast has been called to do in the past, after all - but after testing the Glasnost reported no limitation by my ISP, I tried with the PC connected directly to a cable modem. Result: sustained speeds of download of 2.5-3 MB/s during two trials downloads (Ubuntu Installer ISO). During these downloads, I could navigate to wesites without getting timeout errors as I do when behind the router. This highlights quite peremptorily the WRT54GS as the source of my problem, so I wonder if anyone has any suggestions to solve this other than to launch the router and get a new.

    EDIT: I should mention that I have only torrent on the PC, so it's not a wireless issue.

    Do a reset factory and try it without changing all the settings except the foundations (e.g., wireless security, password)

  • 2016-002 App Store of security update problem

    I downloaded and installed Security Update 2016-002 10.10.5 three times, and it always appears as an update that is available on the App Store.

    It also appears as having been installed 3 times today (each of these updates in double has its own line) under "Installed updates in the last 30 days" under updates.

    What gives?

    This means generally that it is not actually be installed.

    I recommend that you manually download this update combo, which is supposed to have that security update as well and see if that fixes the problem and that he fixes what might be bad start.

  • Malwarebytes MS Security Center problem reports.

    After installing Windows Security Essentials (MSE), I ran Malwarebytes' Anti - Malware (MWB).  He reported this:

    Infected registry data items:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Center\UpdatesDisableNotify (Disabled.SecurityCenter)-> Bad: (1) Good: (0) not-> no action taken.

    Is suggesting that MSE is to blame for this registry problem (if it is indeed a problem), or maybe it was a problem that existed on my system before I installed MSE and appear all the time because I ran MWB before installing MSE?

    How can I "fix" this issue?

    It's probably a pre-existing condition.

  • EA6500 FTP security &amp; server problem

    I'm fairly knowledgeable about computers, but still learning my way around networking.  There are two ethernet cables to come to my house with optical fiber connections high speed.  There is a router on both of them and I have therefore 2 WI - fi networks.  I have a 2 t HD Seagate attached to the EA6500. Access to records is enabled and I have a name of user and password set up so I can see the drive of all my devices.  It is mapped as a network drive on a window 8.1 machine and a Windows 7 laptop.  I'll try to set up a ftp server on one of them, but when I'm at the EA6500 last week, I discovered that he has built in ftp server.  I turned and tried to open a session.  I tried networks as well as the 4 g network on my phone.  4g just give an error, but the connection request came when I was on one of the networks.  My credentials have been accepted, the ftp screen came, but no drive and no file.  I spent an hour for most useless on the phone with Linksys support, but have learned one thing: when I disabled access to the records, and then the disc with all the files appeared.  However, no newspaper was asked.  Enter "ftp: / / {ipv4 address}" product page ftp in my browser with all the files revealed.  In addition, access to the files on my network was of course now disabled.  I asked the tech by the lack of a connection is required, and she told me that I only knew that the address ip so no one else would be able to see my files.  I almost called her a stupid at this point.  Unfortuneatley she seemed not very security conscious or not even aware of how ridiculous that was.  I have re-enabled access to the folder and the disabled of course ftp again.  A refresh of the page in the browser returned to the blank page of ftp.  Is it possible to use effectively the built in Server ftp securely?

    Now if I'm in a remote location, I can connect account Smart Wi - Fi, will disable access to files and turn on ftp temporarily, then access my files and ftp, then backtrack.  It's a work-around that I don't like.  Someone managed using the Linksys FTP safely while maintaining access to local folders?  Also, is there a way to limit the connection to a particular username?  The customer accounts and admin (password w/router) have already been awarded to highly secure passwords, but the one I used for local access, not so much.  If I get this job, which apparently won't be enough, because it doesn't seem to be a way to make the distinction between a local and a remote user in the settings of the router.

    Hold on!   AHA!  I think that I thought about it!  The correct answer to your question should have been no. only, I created a user, but I did not know that the 'actions' were added to the user by clicking on the blue word 'actions' next to my username.  So NOW, when I try it in Google Chrome, voila! I can see the files.  I turned it back off again, so I can create a combo/part of the user with a good password.  One problem remains.  I tried adding the actions first by clicking on the admin user.  Now, I don't see a way to edit the admin user to disassociate the part.  I really didn't have admin access.  I was only adding the part as a test, but now it seems that it is there to say.  Please don't tell me I have to reset the router to get rid of it.

    What a pity that phone support is not able to explain on the management of stocks.  Just ask me about stocks helped helped focus my attention on the right box.  Thanks, chadster766!  I ' l count this issue resolved and leave the issue with admin for another ad if I can't understand me.

  • Customers table WRT54GS problem

    After Update v.5 WRT54GS with the construction of the 1.57.7 firmware 013 dated July 27, 2009 (and a router of the reconstruction after the reset procedure) I find that the customers table is empty or incomplete. I would like to know my equipment local IP addresses, once they negotiate a DHCP lease with the router. Someone can tell me why this is happening and is there a solution? (Everything on the LAN seems to be communicating OK, even if it is not listed in the Active IP Table.) Thank you.

    All seven devices are configured for DHCP. Strangely, in the last 24 hours, I've seen the devices appear in the table customers, one at a time. Now, they're all here. It's as if the old leases were to expire until they stood again. Maybe they have been reassigned new IPs, I don't know... in any case, the problem solved itself. Thanks for the reply.
