• WRT54GS Setup on my office network

  I work for a large company and want to reinstall my wireless router, so I move me from one room to the other with my laptop without plugging in our network. I had it put in place before, but had to spend an hour with technical support to set up the router.  Recently, I had to reset the password and lost all the settings.

  I can get to connected to the establishment with the password by default but have no idea how to set it up. No matter what I try, I get no conectivity when I try to redirect the browser to the internet.

  Yes, I know I should leave our network COMPUTING staff put in place, but they get all bent when I want to extend my wireless configuration access even if it is password protected. Can someone help me out here?

  Thank you

  Well, I use the router wireless wrt54G V8. Works the same as yours?

  I just went by the addition of this router as a network wireless access point on my local network.

  It's really quite easy once I realized a few things.

  First, you will need an IP address for the router to entrust your IT
  people. If you are not going to be able to get it, I'm not sure what you can do.

  IP address of the router is 192.168.1.1 default. Assuming you reset him

  router by default, simply connect a cable to one of the router's Ethernet

  ports (not the Internet port) and connect the other end to a laptop. The router will

  power to the laptop with a IP address and you will be able to run a browser for

  http://192.168.1.1 to access the router administration pages. The connection on

  my router was admin with a password of admin, but I've seen people from Linksys

  say other things, so this cannot be true for all models of router.

  Once connected to the administrative pages, you can assign any IP address

  you want to the IP address of the router. You will see the default 192.168.1.1 in

  There now.

  Assuming that your IT people assign you a static IP address of 192.168.135.37 (or

  whether it is), then you'll want to assign as the IP address of the router in the

  administration pages. Note that once you do this, you will not be able to talk

  the router via your mobile phone directly connected any longer. You will need to

  Always connect the router to your office network - via one of the Ethernet ports

  (not via the Internet port).

  You may need to reset the router after changing his IP address, even if

  I don't have to do it on my own.

  With the router connected to your office network, you should be able

  to access it from any PC connected to the network in exercise, by

  Navigate to the IP address assigned by IT (in my example 192.168.135.37

  (See above).

  Now you can activate the wireless network, assign a security mode.

  passwords/pass phrases, etc.

  When wireless devices negotiate security of your wireless router,

  they will act as if they were connected directly to your desktop in

  network.

  I can provide more details, if you wish. Perhaps by PM?

• WRT54G Setup for internet access using Lacie Network Space Max

  Help, please!

  I tried for the past 2 weeks, try to configure my WRT54G Router, so it allows me to access the Lacie on the internet without success. I followed all the instructions of Lacie and all other FAQ and help on the internet, still no luck. I spent several days with Lacie tech support and they could not understand it - why my router would allow me access via internet. I hope that the big guns here can help me.

  I have a number of laptops connected to my local network and all wireless laptop can access the NAS Lacie cable to one of the ports on my router. My whole system works wonderful locally.

  The Lacie received a static IP address to 192.168.1.199

  My local network has an IP departure from 192.168.1.150 and ends to 192.168.1.199

  My router IP is 192.168.1.99

  I've assigned port forwarding to my Lacie (192.168.1.199) for ports

  20, 21, 25, 80 and 443.

  I tried other settings but no help. Help, please!

  Happy new year!!!

  Hey Scrooge.

  Thanks for your help... my SIN was in fact all along. I used my cell phone to connect to all this time. Today, I tried my work PC to connect using ftp://x.x.x.x and it is well connected.

  I appreciate your help and your patience.

• 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!

• Using WRT54GS as a point with a gateway router

  My family just moved into a new House, and the package Internet for our DSL included installation of a router wireless (non-Linksys) and the (plugged into the DSL modem) Internet gateway down in the basement.  The problem is that the intensity of the signal on the 2nd floor is very low, sometimes non-existent.  Since we have a Linksys WRT54GS router v.2 lying around the previous House, I thought that I would try to put up with our main router, to set up a new network on the 2nd floor by using the ethernet connection.

  But I keep running into trouble.  I have reset the router so that I know how to find all the settings and I can now access the admin wireless page and I managed to change the network name, and also to configure encryption.  That's all before you connect to the Internet, so of course I can only access the admin page and nothing else.

  But once I plug the ethernet cable - which leads directly to the bridge down - router the Linksys router just stopped working and is no longer distributes all packets at all when I check the connection details.  It does not even serve to the top of the admin page, even if my computer indicates a connection.  Reset the cords for connection to a "Limited or no connectivity" error, both with the wireless connection and also a wired connection using a standard ethernet cable to the back of the Linksys router in my computer.  It's as if plug the Linksys router on the Internet (i.e. the other router) it freezes or it confuses.  I can only make it work again by disconnecting the active Internet cable and turn off the router and then turn it back on.

  I tried to change the mode of operation to the router, and I also changed the default address of my other router (192.168.1.1, which otherwise, would share it with the Linksys router) out of the way but none of it works.

  Once again, I can access the admin wireless page and make all kinds of changes to the installation and get it works perfectly - until I plug my other router (i.e., for reference, a TRENDnet TEW-432BRP) Linksys.

  Since all wired computers work fine with the TRENDnet router modem, I am writing to you guys for helping me understand how to configure the Linksys router to work with her too, so I can use wireless on the 2nd floor of this House.

  Of course, if you think this is impossible for some reason, please let me know so that I can live with it and get my life back.

  Thank you very much.

  Well, you can try this... Cascade of the router...

  Just connect a computer directly to the router Linksys - access your router (WRT54GS) setup and change the default address to 10.10.10.1, let the 'Enabled' DHCP server and save the changes... Wait a minute, unplug the power cable from your router, wait 30 seconds and reconnect the power cable...

  Now connect your router to bridge its Ethernet Port to the Internet Port Linksys router... See if you can connect to the Internet...

• 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.

• WRT54GS: Pushing Easy Setup knocks out network

  I have 5 computers and an Xbox 360 on my wireless network.

  Everything works fine until I re-do one of my computers and I press the button to set up easy to connect to this computer and he knocks out all of my other computers and Xbox.

  How can I get those to reconnect?

  Alan

  (Mod Note: under the guidance of the compliance of the directive.)

  Pressing the button of HIS (Secure Easy Setup) on the router causes the router to generate a new SSID, affects the router WPA encryption, and generate a new key for WPA encryption.  When these settings are changed, it disconnected all of your other wireless devices.

  For all your wireless devices work, you will need to put them all to the same SSID, encryption method (WEP, WPA, WPA2) and encryption key.

  So you can assign all of your devices to the previous SSID, encryption and keys (as in option 1) method, or you can set all your devices on the new SSID, WPA, WPA key encryption encryption (as in option 2).  So, make your choice:

  (1) connect to the router and reset the SSID, encryption method and key encryption to their previous values.   In addition, the last wireless computer that you connected to the router - you will need to set to match the previous SSID, encryption method and key.

  OR (2) to connect to the router and enter your new SSID and the encryption key, go to each of your other wireless devices and then enter this info and set up for WPA encryption devices.

• Disable DHCP on WRTU54G behind WRT54G, impossible to get the blue light

  I spent several hours today trying to set up my second router (WRTU54G) behind the first router (WRT54G) with the DHCP offshore on the second router, but blue light don't come. My first router is connected to the modem. There is nothing wrong with the phone service, it works with a LAN WAN Setup on my routers and the blue light comes on. But I'm trying to get everything on my network to answer and turn on sharing, so I'll try the config LAN to LAN on the two routers with DHCP disabled on the second. No blue on light. I also tried the Bridge mode on the second router but that did not work. By browsing these forums, I opened the ports 5060-5061 and 16384-16482 on my first router but I don't know what IP address to assign them. What I'm trying to do is to use my router second, WRTU54G of VOIP, like a switch, but also use it for telephone service. I know that I can just swap the routers and that should work, but y at - it another way?

  Thanks for the reply, but that has not worked for me. But I finally got to work now, after some more googling and play with the settings. I have stuck on the 'Bridge' on the WRTU54G mode but kept the connection between the two routers on LAN to WAN connection. This didn't work at first but after only 20 minutes to leave and the blue light came all my computers are on DHCP IPs the first router too.

• Add WRT54G: second router / access point, unable to get to the outside network.

  Here is the prob:

  We just got cable internet the other day and the cable operator insisted on using their v1000 Belkin F5D7234-4 instead of my WRT54G V8. So I thought I'd use the WRT54G as a second router/AP (without wireless/LAN/WAN). I was eager to do this by running an ethernet in the WAN on the WRT54G port and plug it into the port of the client on the Belkin, place the wrt - 54 G at the other end of the House and have the WRT54G broadcasting the same SSID and require authentication even as the Belkin and use the Belkin to Linksys Wireless Bridge. In this way, it will extend my wireless network and all computers can access the internet and the other (wireline customers will keep at wire-speed, wireless is not authicate to two different networks.)

  I can't get the Linksys network based able to see all the other computers outside the WRT - 54 G, even for wireless clients. On the side of things Belkin network, I can't ping the router even if she pulls a DHCP in the Belkin address. All customers the Belkin side can meet and thin internet. I've fiddled with the WRT54-g for almost an entire weekend now with no result. The WRT54G can see the other router as a DNS as well as external DNS providers, but none of the client computers can. Basically, I'm wanting to extend the network of Belkin 4 as most cable customers and fill a few dead wireless, and make the visible computer on the same network of suggestions?

  Parameters of WRT - 54G:

  Automatic configuration - DHCP

  Same domain name like Belkin
  IP router set a tire to the DHCP server

  DHCPserver OFF

  Mode of operation: router

  Safe are disabled.

  Wireless SSID is the same as Belkin

  Wireless channel is the same as belkin.

  Method and auth. key is the same as belkin.

  Belkin:

  DHCP is on.

  15 IP addresses available.

  Wireless gateway is on with the WRT54G Wireless MAC address information.

  Ethernet cords are connected.

  I played with static routes for hours, tried the option routing dynamic, even tried DMZing of the WRT54G intellectual property in the belkin and still unable to connect to the internet. Tried the Belkin MAC address cloning. Nothing seems to work. When I plug the WRT - 54G directly in my digital/Modem/phone cable box, I get internet and everything. I'm at the point of throwing same DD - WRT on it.

  But beyond connection "wireless" I discovered really does not work if well (drops random wireless speeds seize up) with two different pieces of equipment running two different firmwares. So the thing connecting wireless set was out the window.

  I however knew what I had to do Linksys firmware:

  1.) DHCP clients forward.

  Customers of Belkin - network

  Linksys customers - network B

  The dhcp pool was not get transferred to the client computers. That is the 1-2 on network computer had XXX. XXX.100 - 102 for 3-4 computers on network B was YYY. YYY. YYY statically set by Windows. Even after changing to a static address on the network A dhcp scope I could still connect to the internet or to one of the computers on the network.

  The static routing table seemed not lead me anywhere either, and I've tried dozens of configurations.

  The way I got it Setup is with the customer enthernet of the Belkin ROUTER to THE Internet on the Linksys WRT54G port 1-4. Maybe I should have plugged the ethernet on the client side of 4 ports Linksys?

  Anyway DD - WRT redirect DCHP feature was what I need.

  Regarding the scenario wireless two routers have the same encryption method and key but different channels and ssid. Who, with DD - WRT for some reason when I jump on the wireless-B, Vista will be ID it as network A (B).

  I hope that it has not violated anything except the guarantee which was anyway. The reason for which I needed for my network up this way is because I do a lot of work using VM (of various operating systems), is simply easier to have two separate semi networks. (to different physical locations in the House)

• PS3 game update stops (WRT54G)

  Hey, I have played ps3 online for more than a year and had a different router in my old House.  We just got the Charter set up in our new House today and have a linksys (WRT54G) router.  I try to update version of a new game, but it gets to 10-20% and stops just to cause to cut wireless.  Sometimes he randomly signed me out, but I was playing COD earlier and it worked fine.  Any ideas why I can play very well, but the update stalls again and again?  Thank you!!

  To resolve this problem, you must update the firmware on 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 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...
  Also, make sure that your computer is configured to obtain an IP automatically, disable any firewall, the security software on the computer before you try to access the configuration page...

  If your Internet Service is cable follow this link

  If your Internet Service is DSL follow this link

  Also on the security of the router tab, uncheck block anonymous Internet requests and click on save settings...

  On the Administration tab disable UPnP, according to the setup of the tab change the MTU size to 1452...

• 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!

• 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.

• Wrt54G bridge WAP54G

  According to the information at the bottom of the WAP54G Setup screen, it can connect to the WRT54G without an another WAP54G. I want to do is use the WAP54G as a bridge to connect my DVD player with Ethernet connection to the internet via the WRT54G. Both units have the latest firmware updates. When I put in place because I think it should be the WAP54G has all the lights, but the DVD Player cannot connect to the internet. What is the possible cause.

  Nothing beats a "client access point". I wrote that you must configure it as a 'Client AP'. It's what you want. And it is the label for the option that is available on a WAP54Gv3 with firmware v3.01 according to UI demo. "Client of the AP" mode, it connects to a point of access as a customer and allows a single cable to via the wireless connection.

  A bridge is more complex because it connects two wired segments, i.e. multiple devices on each side.

  I've written before that it does not work with a WRT54G.

  There is a support web site with download support for your device, including guides and tools.

• WRT54G and WRT160NL Torrents

  OK so here is my setup. I have a wrt54g directly on my access to the internet at home. There his hard cable to my wrt160nl where my desktop computer is connected. I would like to open a port for a torrent program to use, but I have no idea how to do that. Ive looked around a few guides but haven't found one that works. any help is really appreciated! (im sure this has been posted b4 but still, I couldn't find any soultions for my situation)

  If you want to run the two WRT as a router and have two separate local networks, you will have a much more complicated installation and the port forwarding for your torrents can turn out to be complicated, if not impossible. You must configure the port forwarding on both routers.

  I highly recommend to use a single router with a LAN configuration. The second router will be used as a switch access point and equipment.

  For example like this:

  1. the WRT54G connect to your modem and a address LAN IP 192.168.1.1.

  2. the WRT160NL is configured with the address LAN IP 192.168.1.2. DHCP server disabled.

  3. the WRT160NL is connected by one of its ports LAN for the WRT54G. Do not use the internet port of the WRT160NL.

  The WRT54G deals now all functions related to the internet. Customers on the WRT160NL connect directly to your local network and through the WRT54G to internet. Port forwarding must be configured on the WRT54G and there only. It's the simplest and probably most reliable installation for you.

  Of course, you can also swap the two routers in the previous configuration, either you use the WRT160NL as internet gateway and the WRT54G only as an access point.

  The access points in both routers must be configured with different SSID as they use differnet wireless standards (unless you spend the WRT160NL wireless-g only).

• As a router WRT54GS cascading with IP fixed address block

  Hello

  I read several threads on the routers in cascade and the Knowledge Base, but none seems to fix my script with a router with fixed IP address block.

  My current setup is an ADSL circuit with a block of 8 fixed IP addresses. Of them the first xx.xx.xx.137 is assigned to interface the router, the second xx.xx.xx.138 for the router itself WAN xx.xx.xx.139/140/141/142/143 leaving as usable IP addresses. Connected to the ADSL circuit is that a D-Link DSL-G604T router with NAT disabled to allow IP addresses to be assigned to my web servers and ftp. Of course, DHCP is disabled on the LAN interface.

  Unfortunately, the transmitter wireless on this router is defective so I would my Linksys WRT54GS (Firmware v1.50.6) D-Link router cascade so that I can use it (with active DHCP) as a point of access for multiple wireless devices.

  This thought through to logically I've named WAN 54GS with one of the xx.xx.xx.140 to static IP address available, a subnet mask 255.255.255.248 and the door entry xx.xx.xx.138. I left the LAN settings like the beach 192.168.1.xxx and DHCP active. I then connected the interface WAN of the 54GS to one of the LAN connections on the D-Link with a straight ethernet cable.

  I can connect to the admin 54GS via a direct ethernet connection and wireless interface but not to the internet.

  I can ping that is the xx.xx.xx.140 of the interface wan of the 54GS since a laptop computer connected wireless but not the IP address of the gateway of the network xx.xx.xx.138. D-Link router.

  Am I missing some other settings in the router. Especially in the routing section advanced? I guess that the device must be set to a router rather than the bridge, but if there are parameters of dynamic routing?

  Any help would be appreciated

  Thanks Brickmonkey,

  Just thought I would update this post. I tried from you suggestions, but to no avail. The frustration I did a hard reset of the router D-Link and set it up again from scratch and... Hey presto it now works.

  I can only think that there may have been some settings left from when the router has been initially implemented for Nat and I had configured port forwarding. In any case it now works OK then thank you very much for your answer.
