• WRT54G disconnect problem

  I've been a loyal user of Linksys (CISCO) since the purchase of my 1 Access Point wireless router and 4-port Switch (BEFW1154 v2) in 08/2002. I upgraded to a Linksys Wireless - G Broadband Router (WRT54G v8.00.2) 11/2007. My home wireless network supports; IBM Thinkpad (Windows XP) and Lenovo Ideapad (Windows VISTA Home Premium). A month ago I started having disconnect problems with the WRT54G. The two laptops have been disconnect it. At first I disconnected the supply WRT54G for about 1 minute then plugged in. This has not solved the problem of disconnection. I then tried to unplug the cable modem and power WRT54G. Wait about 1 minute and then reconnect the cable modem, allowing it to reset and synchronization. Then I plugged the WRT54G. This temporarily solved the problem for a few minutes but the disconnection problem returned. I have reset the WRT54G Setup factory default and reconfigured it to my home network. The disconnection problem was not solved by taking this action. I contacted Cablevision that provides my broadband Internet access. They could not identify a root cause of the problem of disconnection. To determine whether the root cause was another thing that the WRT54G, I reinstalled the BEFW1154. I did have a problem of disconnection from taking this action leading me to believe that the WRT54G is bad. I would appreciate any suggestion that could solve the problem of disconnection with the exception of a suggestion to buy a new router. Thank you

  Good to hear that!

• DNS server for the WRT54GS v6 problem

  This router running for 2 years without any problem (even on Windows7 since las year), recently it wont let me conect to the internet, network and say sharing that the configuration of the computer center are good but no response from the DNS server is present.

  (Windows 7 RTM Ultimate x 86, Bellsouth / AT & T ISP in Florida.) Conexion ADSL, nine cables ethernet and material held in the best conditions, the network card: Realtek RTL8102E/RTL8103 Family PCI - E Fast Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.20) (v7.2)

  ================================================================================

  What I tried:

  Reset the router or modem (connected to a Westell 6100), in order to define the default settings and (based on the Web reset and reset buttons)

  Flushing IP in CMD

  Make the web based configuration for my WRT54GS v6, releasing DCHP, renewing, defaults, etc...

  Upgrade the firmware to v1.52.7 (latest) nothing helps, dating back to 1.52.6 original.

  Shows Device Manager hardware works correctly.

  Windows 7 show me a link to view the properties of my WRT54GS when I right click on it, I also see the "Enable" option, but every time I use it I get "Connection Failed!"

  ===========================================================================================

  I'm not much of a tech guy, and read the forum does not help me a lot, so I ask for help please.

  PS: CD installed by default for her with her old EasyLink Advisor without success, tried also the last 2 Lela EasyLink Advisor, nothing helps.

  In addition, there is no default gateway glancing an IPCONFIG in CMD and now there is (192.168.1.1), which I use to enter its web-based configuration.

  That your ISP is a DSL provider, most of the DSL Modem has a DHCP server on them, so they act as a router. From now you the type of connection is NAT behind NAT.

  Order for your Linksys router to work with a DSL Modem. Connect to the Linksys router and on the Configuration tab configuration page, you must modify the "local IP address" to 192.168.2.1 and click on save settings...

  Once the settings are saved, unplug the power to the router and Modem, wait 30 seconds and then plug in the power to the Modem, and once all the lights are cover then you can connect the power supply to the router and check if you are online.

• WRT54GS ROUTER PROBLEM

  I HAVE A WRT54GS ROUTER. TRIED TO PUT IN PLACE. AFTER DOING SO, IT NOT CONNECTING A WIRELESS LESS I CONNECT TO A HIGH SPEED ON THE CONPUTER CONNECTION. SO, IN SUMMARY, FOR A WIRELESS CONNECTION, I MUST FIRST CONNECT TO A HIGH SPEED CONNECTION ON MY LAPTOP THEN CLICK ON CONNECTION WIRELESS AND PLUG THAT IN TOO. THEN EVERYTHING WORKS FINE. OR IS NOT CONNECTED WILL NOT LET THIS WORK. AND YES I'M NOT CONNECTED AT ALL TIMES.

  Thank you

  I see. Do you remember your username and password?

  You need the router to do the PPPoE authentication rather than on your computer. In this way, you don't have to click on the broadband.

  Connect to the router configuration page and follow this procedure. Start with step 7.

• WRT54GS connection problem

  Disconnected last night and everything was fine...  Could not connect to the Internet today...  If I bypass the router, I can connect via my cable modem.

  When going through the router, I get an IP address, an address of a default gateway and DNS1 and address DNS1.  I can't ping the default gateway, DNS1 and DNS2.  The default gateway is a different address when I bypass the router.  When I bypassed the router, I can ping the two default gateway addresses.

  Any ideas?

  Who is your Internet service provider...?

  Do you get the problem on the computer by cable or wireless computer...?

  If you found the problem on the wireless computer, try to disconnect and reconnect the network wireless on the computer. Now, check the ip address and try to make a ping to the gateway & DNS.

  If you have found the issue with the connected computer, then try to reset the router for 30 seconds, power cycle the router and then try to ping the gateway.

• WRT54G/PS3 problems

  Every time my PS3 goes to the main manu, she makes my router "hiccups" and disconnects for a fraction of second and mess up some programs on the computers connected to it. How can I get it to stop?

  It of really a strange question, doesn't look like a router problem, but it could be...

  Perhaps you use your router for some time and you have not upgraded the firmware... You should try to update firmware of your router in case, if this is related to your router...

  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 the name blank username & password use admin lowercase...
  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...

  See if the same thing happens again...

• WRT54GS installation problem

  Router v6.0 took the same model in place on another computer which had XP but it won't let me in the web utility via the default ip address in the browser and will not configure an ip address for me to access my broadband with her.  I checked all cables, etc. and when I run the installation disc, it runs it through the settings of your computer "audit" which takes minutes then at the end just jumps to the top of the window of pw and if I type in the default pw it repeats the same process.

  running Win7 64 bit sp1.  Would it be my OS or my 64-bit configuration that is not compatible?

  Follow these steps:

  Turn on your router. Wait 30 seconds.

  Press and hold the reset for 30 seconds button.

  Turn off the router. Wait 30 seconds. Turn on the router. Wait 30 seconds.

  You restart computer. Open your browser. Type http://192.168.1.1/ in your browser and press to enter.

  You should see the router configuration page, and you should be able to access the internet.

  If it doesn't work, go into the TCP/IP properties and configure it with the following parameters:

  IP 192.168.1.100

  Subnet mask 255.255.255.0

  Default gateway 192.168.1.1

  Server DNS 8.8.8.8

  Then try to connect to http://192.168.1.1/ - you should get the router set up page, and you should also be able to connect to internet sites.

  Let us know what works or does not work.

• Configuration wireless router WRT54G without CD - problems with manual installation

  Hello.  I have a WRT54G Router that I've used over the years, because my former cable provider provided me with the router.  I recently switched to cable operators & they do not provide a wireless routers.  I would use my WRT54G Router, but I don't have the cd.  I thought that it wasn't a problem because I can just do a manual installation using the 192.168.1.1 ip address.  I get the pop up window to enter user name & password.  I followed the instructions & just type in the word admin password field & l left the user name empty, but it does not work.  Can someone please?  I know that I can solve this problem.  It is not sensible to spend money for another router when this can be a simple solution.  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Press and hold the reset on the back for 30 seconds and then release.  Wait 10 seconds and power cycle.  Now, try again.

• 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!

  Is there anything I can do to improve this issue?

  Ty for any information,

• Problems with client configuration WRT54GS mode

  Hello

  I have a WRT45GS client mode configuration which connects to a WRT54GS access point, the problem is that when the radio is off it lose its configuration I have to manually repeat the procedure to be customer implemented through site survey.

  Did someone else you have this problem? It is really strange and I need to turn off the radio during the night

  Really thanks

  Just to check, both devices are WRT54GS? You must be referring to access to point to another device, since there is no option of client mode for WRT54GS.

• Problems with wireless on WRT54GS

  After a power outage, I had to update the info on my WRT54GS router.  It works fine until I have try to configure the wireless part.  After I put a WEP key and save the settings, the "Manage settings" screen.  When I click on 'Continue', the router is basically dies.  The address bar has http://192.168.1.1/WL_WPATable.asp.  At this point, the only option I have is to power and on the router that allows to restore access to internet on the wired devices, but no wireless internet access.  Is there a table is messed up?  How to get this resolved in addition to become another router?

  Tried your suggestion, nothing is.  Finally, I changed my bridged AT & T of PPPoE to Ethernet router and set the router Linksys (Cisco) PPPoE with my AT & T username and the password.  It took care of the problem with the Wi - Fi.  I had questioned the AT & T Rep on PPPoE configuration and he assured me that AT & T has made this change and this also works with the router assign PPPoE.  Guess he was wrong.  But I am now happy.

• 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.
