Spend the WRT54GS to WRT54G2 Router?

I am running the Linksys WRT54GS router.  A family member gave me a unopened, still in sealed box WRT54G2 router which they never used.  For routers that I have to start all over with the installation of the new router or is there a setting in the configuration of the web which would allow me to simply select an update of the ot the router option to the new?

You can just save the settings of the router and copy it to the new. However, you can take a screenshot of all the settings on each tab, and then do the same on the new router.

  • Disorder of the WRT54G Wireless - G Router!

    I had problems with my internet connections for the last days. Initially, I called my ISP because I suddenly lost all connectivity. They told me to unplug the router and just connect my access directly from the modem cable to the Tower, since, on their side, they saw that I was connected to the internet and also had a router. They told me to leave the router disconnected for a few hours for the cache to eliminate because it did take in the change IP. So I did, and a few hours later, I've hung up and was back on the web. But I noticed a problem. There are a few sites that I have been unable to access. The taskbar would be simply read 'wait... '. "and then I get the problem loading Page telling me that the connection was reset, or that I had a firewall problem. I checked my firewall and security programs to ensure that my settings were allowing connections to these sites. Indeed, they are. I googled my problem "cannot access some Web sites" to see what I could do with little success. I remembered what the tech said on the router and took a suggestion from one of the tech sites to check another browser to see if it works there. Indeed, I met the same problem there. I plugged my connection from modem to the Tower again and I was able to access these sites once more. So I thought that it is a problem with my router. On top of that, wireless connections can be made. They're going through. I tried to restart the router again and used the disc that came with it to implement thinking it would help me. In addition, I accessed the site router to change the settings. Nothing has helped or worked. Hiding what ever is there is always here, or any problem with do not accept IP addresses is always present. I rebooted my system and I tried to access the router site again, only to be blocked as some other sites. I'm really worried here. I tried the command prompt and: ipconfig / flushdns version don't renew method still no good. Just what is wrong with my router? How can I get this resolved. Why are these inaccessible sites now and how to get what is mucking up the DNS recognition to clear and it can work properly again? I got it on DHCP so it can automatically recognize changes. My IP is not static. I'm really worried here. Help, please!

    I have it!

    Ok. I did two things:

    1. I changed my port (just in case).

    2. I did a hard reset on my router (did not notice the button next to the original cable entry).

    I put off the power to the modem, router and my PC. Then I turned on my modem, enabled on the router port, turned the router back, did a hard reset and he waited a bit. Then I turned on my PC.

    After that I did my own usual drive, consulted the web and done a clean cache of the browser (just in case). My little brother to come and do a test to see if it connects wireless to...

    ALTO! It's trendy!

    I tried the sites that I have problems with and SUCCESS! They connected!

    IT WORKS NOW! I am so happy!

    Thank you all for your help! It is appreciated!

  • Replacement of the WRT54G Router

    I have a router that my cable company feel needs replacing. I don't really know if it's true, because they tried to sell me a new router or rent one for me. In any case I guess that replacement is necessary. I'm not a geek and my existing WRT54G Router was installed by someone else who went through all the work to set up my network home. Ideally, I would buy the same model router and use existing lines to connect the new router, thus reducing to a minimum the installation time and trouble. Of all the posts on this site, I am sure that installing a new router is not easy to do and is subject to many 'traps '. People spend days, installation of a router and a good number of them fail. It seems incredible to me that a manufacturer could produce a product that causes so much wasted time of clients and anguish.

    I am running Win XP ver. 3 with IE version 7. I'd like some experienced advice on which model of router would be ideal as a replacement for my WRT54G that was enough for my home network. So I would advice on the question of whether I should try to do it myself or hire a geek to do to me. I have next to zero patience and no tolerance for poorly written instructions. For those who have traveled down the road, I'm ready to go, tell him from me right.

    Router WRT54G is one of the best routers.

    Choose the router from Linksys E series (model E1000, E2000 and E3000). These routers are very easy to install. The speed and intensity of the signal will be very good compared to the WRT54G Router.

    You need not hire a technician to install the router. You will get a Cisco software connect with this router. Just run the CD and Cisco connect software will do everything for you. It will protect the wireless automatically for you.

  • Cannot access the configuration of my router (wrt54g) page

    I can't access the page of my router (wrt54g) configuration after the installation. The router works fine, but whenever I try to connect to 192.168.1.1 it says the password is incorrect. The first time that I put up I changed the default user name and password and I thought I'd simply forgotten, so I reset the device. This time I don't change any of the default values, and I can not even log on. I have to reset it several times, and you're just annoying. Anyone know how to prevent it from happening? I thought it might be a firmware issue, but I can not find all downloads for my version of road ' rs (V8). I use a macbook pro, osx 10.9.2.

  • WRT54G - cannot connect computer wired to the internet through a router

    I have the WRT54G and unable to connect to the internet when you are going through the router.  I feel that I've checked everywhere can, but still does not work.  I connected the way the instructions, the lights are on the case and all that.  I have cable internet and when I plug directly, there is no problem.  When I try to 'ping' to check the connection between my computer and the router, I get "Request Timed Out".  I tried to reset the router and goes in this direction, but I can't go beyond checking the internet connection through the router.  Any ideas what I'm missing?

    Thank you!

    You should not use the installation CD at all.  If you throw it away.

  • WRE54G - disconnects from the WRT54G

    I am now on my third WRE54G.  The symptoms that are after configuration of the RE, it connects with the router and I am able to PING with and without attached ethernet.  Life is good.   Wireless laptop connects with RE and then crashes after 2 minutes.  A repair the laptop wireless adapter to force it to reconnect to the router (to signal loss).  On a wired desktop I am able to ping without ethernet. Power cycling the RE start the cycle.

    With WPA - PSK AES, channel 11, G-Mode only, 3600 for renewal group, broadcast of the SSID to the coast.  Blue on blue lights all the time.

    After spending the afternoon on the phone with a very patient guy from tech support, we found that the setting MODE on the WRE54G to G-ONLY has been the cause of the problem.  I changed the MODE of JOINT and now the WRE54G and the WRT54G are very happy with each other.

  • Connection with a switch EZXS55W or a second router WRT54G to my router network WTR300N home?

    I have a home office in my basement with my computer connected to a lan of my WRT300N router that is set up on the first floor and networking with three additional computers to the floor as well. I want to add 2 additional computers in my basement and wireless is not a good set upward because the signal strength is very low. I have great reception on the floor and even on the second floor where my children are connected from their rooms. My question is: I have an older WRT54G Router I use is more and want to know if I can connect it to my WRT300N using the lan line ran down in the basement which is connected to one of the Ethernet ports of the WRT300N? If so, how the connection and set up the second router? Also, I can use Ethernet cables to connect my three computers to the second router or what I need to use the wireless of the second router? I was looking at the switch EZXS55W at the Wal-Mart local and thought that was my answer, but after a search through all the answers of the basis of knowledge here, I'm confused on the approach to take and which one would be the best game for me. Here, any help would be great!

    With the EZX you extended your wired LAN. You can still use the WRT54G to add another point for other cable ports and wireless access. Just do these 4 steps as stated in my previous post.

    You can connect the WRT54G the WRT300N or the EZX. Basically, it's all the same. You don't have to turn off the switch before you connect a device.

    If you want to use the additional wireless WRT54G, you can try to set up a roaming wireless network. Implement the WRT with identical settings as on the WRT300N wireless, i.e. identical SSID and wireless security the same (preferably WPA2) personal with a good password. Do not turn off the SSID broadcast on either WRT. Only the allocation of channels should be different at a time to avoid any interference. Now the devices should be able to move from one access point to another without losing the network connection.

    However, if you perform this configuration test carefully. I don't know how it works if you have a N Router and a G. If this does not work, use different SSID on both. You can then choose which SSID to connect to on the client.

  • The WRT54GS V5 Firmware update

    So I pulled out my router outta storage after use it not for a long time and I was wondering where I can get a firmware upgrade for the router so his abreast of the latest news. Its a WRT54GS v5 Wireless router. I have searched all over the site Linkysys and can't seem to find the requested file.

    If there are no software listed on the linksys site then it is supported no longer. Too old. maybe try a 3rd guys party like dd - wrt or tomato.

  • WRT54G2 router and printer Canon MF

    I have a WRT54G2 router connected to the modem DSL from Verizon.  The router is connected to the laptop dock via ethernet, and network connectivity in the dock and grace wireless is perfectly fine.  I set up WEP security, and it was OK.  Operating system is Windows XP Pro.

    I recently bought a Canon MF 4370DN network printer/fax/scanner and plugged into the router with an ethernet cable.  I have hard coded a 192.168.x.x IP address in the printer, installed the drivers and set up the printer on the laptop to print via a TCP/IP port.  The first installation has worked well, and first of all, I had no problem printing or scanning through the network.

    The problem is that the connection between the printer and the laptop falls repeatedly, if the laptop is connected or not.  This can be corrected temporarily by turning the printer on and for the duration of the session, all functions, including printing work very well.  But if the laptop is turned off and later started, the connection is lost, until the printer is recycled.

    The printer also has a USB port and I think the simple creation of an additional USB connection between the printer and the dock, but I wonder why the connection through the router guard get lost.  Any ideas?

    Thank you

    The laptop is always connected to the wireless network when the connection between the printer and the laptop is lost?

    If you have no any connection problem with your router, I guess it's either your printer or your laptop...

    You should try to uninstall the printer drivers, reboot the PC and install the printer costs, see if that makes a difference... If there are any updated drivers for your printer, try using those...

  • The WRT54G and DC input power versions.

    OK, I have many, many models and versions.  I have a WRT54G v1, V1.1, V2... V8, I also of the WRT54GS WRT54GL and others, many other things of Linksys, almost everything in the blue and black of varying sizes boxes.

    I have a devil of a time when I reconfigure my network or the woman changes the furniture.  I'd like a single document that lists power specifications and the requirements of adapter for devices of Athens... I can't find them anywhere on Linksys website.  I've searched and searched and nowhere can I find a list of consolidate.  I searched the forums and found many individual inscriptions, but it is a pain.

    Someone at - it a list of the power DC specifications, sizes of barrel and other things necessary to buy a replacement power adapter.

    This http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linksys_WRT54G_series page lists a lot of information but does not list this critical information...  If someone send me the list, I'll try to get it posted it.  I'm amazed that Linksys does not listed it some here.  Lose a wall wart should not be a reason to pull you hair, just a simple purchase, if they do not want their stock, then at least tell us what they are.

    And Yes, I lost almost all the manuals...

    -jeff

    Well it is not possible to find the specification of power supply for all cards in a single list. You must manually locate each model number of your router and check their record and note the power adapter specification.

  • The firmware Linksys WRT54G2 page links?

    I recently had problems with my router wireless wrt54g2 v1.0, remove client computer wireless connections. In an effort to solve the problem, I went to get an update the firmware here:

    http://www.linksysbycisco.com/us/en/support/WRT54G2/download

    Who created another problem. Firmware version 1.5 and 1.0 firmware have almost the same download link on this page as well:

    http://downloads.linksysbycisco.com/downloads/FW_WRT54G2V1.5_1.5.00.019_US_20090505, 0.bin

    http://downloads.linksysbycisco.com/downloads/WRT54G2V1.5_1.5.00.019_FwReleaseNotes, 0.txt

    http://downloads.linksysbycisco.com/downloads/FW_WRT54G2V1.5_1.5.00.019_US_20090505.bin

    http://downloads.linksysbycisco.com/downloads/WRT54G2V1.5_1.5.00.019_FwReleaseNotes.txt

    I figured this out the hard way after I've tried and failed to update my firmware.

    I've since found a link to an another firmware update, which is slightly newer than the one I had before. I found it here:

    http://downloads.linksysbycisco.com/downloads/FW_WRT54G2V1_1.0.03.001_US_20090317.bin

    There is no note of version that I could find.

    My questions, I guess, are;

    (1) is there any other firmware releass for my wireless router that are newer still?

    (2) if not, is there a way I can get the v1.5 firmware to work? TFTP and the web interface of the router to refuse this file that will be used to replace the current firmware.

    (3) in the absence of a solution in response to the foregoing, is there a solution that would allow my PC wireless client can reconnect to the wireless network after letting kickoff fall? Usually, they stay connected and will work perfectly for 20-36 hours, or should I say they can connect to the network without wire in this interval of time, but after that, if they are connected and get started, I can't their reconnected unless I have reset the router. Renewing the IPs on the client side does not work.

    I got the router using static and assigned by DHCP IP addresses and both with and without the wireless security is enabled (the nearest wireless AP is 7 miles away so I really didn't need the security anyway).

    Nothing of what I've done so far has solved my problem.

    Can anyone help?

    Hi Ricewind, first off let me say thank you for the answer.

    Then, let me say I think I've missed to erase me, so I'll try again.

    The firmware for my router wrt54g2 v1.0, on the Web site is not good firmware. I repeat that this does not work for my version, version 1.0, the router. I downloaded and tried. It does not work via the web interface or it works using the tftp interface.

    Here is a link to the page of my router:

    http://www.linksysbycisco.com/us/en/support/WRT54G2/download

    The link to download the firmware on my router is not correct. It points to the same folder as the firmware to version 1.5.

    Version 1.5:

    http://downloads.linksysbycisco.com/downloads/FW_WRT54G2V1.5_1.5.00.019_US_20090505, 0.bin

    The unusable firmware to Version 1.0:

    http://downloads.linksysbycisco.com/downloads/FW_WRT54G2V1.5_1.5.00.019_US_20090505.bin

    Someone needs to change the link to the Version 1.0 firmware file to point to a file that can actually be used to update the firmware of the router.

    PS,

    I could use this file to update my firmware:

    http://downloads.linksysbycisco.com/downloads/FW_WRT54G2V1_1.0.03.001_US_20090317.bin

    But this file does not appear in, anywhere on the support page for the wrt54g2 for any version of the router.

    I hope this helps.

  • I want to get the best on my router (Port Forward questions)

    I use the WRT54G2 router and the wmp54G. I'm trying to get games like America's army and Team Fortress 2 to work properly. I've assigned my static Ip pc using the guide portforward. I forwarded the necessary ports.

    I can't connect to my account on the U.S. military, and I can not connect to servers on Team Fortress 2. I tried to disable my anti-virus and firewall but still no luck. I'm doing it on the pc with the wireless connection.

    Any suggestions?

    I also have another question: when transmitting ports or using DMZ, what IP address I send? The pc connected directly to the router or the pc which is using ports (one wireless)?

    BTW, MY ISP is Comcast

    In most cases, you can use the DNS proxy server that is built into the router at 192.168.1.1 (address by default), but in your case would be in 192.168.2.1

    It is preferable to use the DNS proxy server.  The router keeps track of the actual Internet DNS server addresses from your ISP and transfers data to the appropriate DNS server.

    If the DNS server of the router proxy does not work, then enter your true Internet DNS server address in your computer.

    In addition, I see that you use the et.102 adresses.101 in your computers.  Your range of DHCP servers by default est.100 thru.149, so unless you have changed it, you use illegal LAN IP fixed addresses in your computer.  This could be the cause of your problems.  Note that all fixed LAN IP addresses should be outside your range of DHCP server.
