WRT54GS V7 - no Internet connection

Hi all

I've had my router wireless for 3 years now. I recently moved and got my internet all together towards the top. I have not used my router in a year because my former ISP gave me a two in a router. Now that I'm with my current ISP (Time Warner), I just your Basic run of the mill modem. Go ahead, I installed my router, everything goes well. An hour later, I was unable to use internet on my laptop. I checked the connections and everything is properly connected. When I ran the EasyLink Advisor its says no internet connection. I tried to update the firmware to update my drivers. I even tried connecting the router itself using the 192.168.1.1 but without success. I'm at a total loss here, been working on it for 3 days now... any help would be greatly appreciated.

A little more info: my office is running on Windows XP Service Pack 3

My ISP is Timer Warner Cable

The wireless router is the WRT54GS V7 with a Firmware updated to 7.50.

Yet of the ideas or help is greatly appreciated thanks!

Connect the Modem to your computer and check if you are able to go online or not?

If Yes, then the first thing you need to do is press and hold the reset button of your router to 1 min, then unplug the power to the router for another 30 seconds waiting and then re-connect the power supply to the router. Now, you can re - configure all settings on your router...

  • How to implement as a router WRT54G - Type of Internet connection in cascade

    Dear Sir / Madam

    Been scouring the Internet and seems that nobody begs the question...

    I'm trying to configure my Linksys WRT54G (v5) as a regular secondary router (turn off wifi) cascading off my another Wifi router that is connected to an internet modem.  I went through the web and found useful points on other areas of the installation program.

    However, in the "Basic settings" page under "Setting up the Internet" for "Type of Internet connection", what should I choose?  I am NOT connect the WRT54G to the internet modem, on the contrary, I'm linking to the internet via my primary router.

    Help, please!  Thank you!

    Simon Mak

    Hi, simon_s_mak. Yes, you can set it to auto DHCP. It wouldn't really matter, since the DHCP capability will be disabled.  Therefore, it will exercise a switch only.

  • WRT54G good signal wireless but no internet connectivity.

    I have a WRT54G that has worked well for about a year. Last Sunday, I installed a couple of small updates from Microsoft on my main computer (cable via an ethernet cable from the router). At the same time, I installed service pack 3 on my girls (wireless) counter top.

    Since that time, on my three computers wireless I shows the strength of very good signal from the router but no internet connectivity. Internet works fine on the computer by cable.

    I have reset the router, no luck. Updated the firmware, no luck. Released and renewed until the cows came home and still no luck.

    I uninstalled the router of my main computer and reinstalled. During the installation it tells me that the router cannot find the internet even if the computer that works is connected through the router.

    I tried a different router (even part old version) which was a router to work when uninstalled about six months ago. I went through the installation process and it is the same, the router cannot find the internet.

    Is it possible to have two bad routers that the internet can pass through but the router cannot detect?

    At first I thought changing the setting of the Microsoft updates, but I restored my computer to a date before the updates and still have the same problem.

    Any help that anyone can give is most appreciated.

    Well there are some knows the problem with Service Pack 3 from Microsoft with wireless connectivity. You can uninstall SP3 from your computer and it will not solve the problem.

  • WRT54GS Wireless Router recently started disconnecting Internet connection after 9 months

    Hello, I have read some and see that it is a problem common but of are to be decided.

    I have a Lynksys WRT54GS with the latest Firmware update v7.2 27 July 2009 (FW_WRT54GSv7.2_7.2.07.013_EN_20090727)

    I ran 2 desktop computers as well as my DVR security by the security cameras for remote monitoring, also portable hook upward wireless sometimes as well without any problem using this router for over 9 months now with no problems until the last few days... I never log out and leave it on 24/7 for 9 months without problem and now recently I had to pull on the power cord from the back of the router and reconnect it to re power on the router to establish an internet connection.

    Now the last 3 days the router loses its internet connection each monutes a few... hours... the time it disconnects are random moments and I have the programs I need to run all day but can't because the router loses its connections...

    I applied the firmware again... re factory - configure the router... rebooted the computer... tried cloning the MAC address... all seem to be doing nothing... the same problem still exists.

    All of the minutes or hours so it disconnects the interent.

    I ran the office computer directly to the DSL Modem and I'm online very well with a desktop computer without disconnections for hours and hours (18hrs to date is not a problem), so I know this isn't the access provider. I had this problem I believe before with a previous Lynksys router and then bought it and now after this short period it seems to do the same thing again with this one. What a pain in the but.

    All solutions and more...

    Re application firmware... then

    factory re set the router... then

    re - connect computers as if it were a new router... the MAC address cloning? Geezus... it must be one simple solution other then buy another brand router.

    Thanks in advance...

    What is the IP address, find the modem directly...? Connect the computer directly to the modem and check the ip address? What is the ip address, you get the router...?

    Try the following settings on the router and check the connection...

    -Change the channel to 11-2 wireless, 462 GHz

    -Under the Advance wireless settings tab, change the tag at 50, Fragmentation threshold to 2304, interval RTS threshold to 2304

  • no internet connection, wrt54g

    After foolishly pressing the reset button 'tough' on the wrt54g router now I can not get internet connection. Modem works fine, the ip of the router is 192.168.1.1.

    the ip address must be something else. All this on a stupid Xbox live!

    Okey, I finally found the problem. His Modem.

    Router is not able to get the IP address of the modem if the modem is started first and then I plug the internet cable to the router. But if I keep the router and modem connected and then reset the modem while keeping the router powered on, the router receives an IP address.

    And in both cases, if I connect the laptop with the modem directly, computer laptop can connect to the Internet.

    I bought a new router (WRT54G2) thinks that the problem is with the router, and I can reproduce the same behavior with both routers constantly.

    Make sure you modem is Motorola surf.

  • WRT54GS - no internet connection is detected and yet my computer cable to connect to internet through router

    I had my router for a little over a year. I am connected to a wild blue satellite modem. He has worked without problem for a year.  Now, he claims not to detect an internet connection, even if the computer connected to the router has no problem connecting to the internet. I just can't connect wireless to the internet because the router thinks that there is no internet connection. I have reset several times, turned on and off the power to the modem, followed all the troubleshooting instructions. All the lights on the modem and the router. I need to replace the router, or I would encounter the same problems with a new?

  • WRT54G can't internet

    My 'network' looks like this:

    CABLE MODEM ===> WRT54G

    WRT54G Port1 ===> PC

    PC running Windows/XP sp3 with all updates installed. However, there is no wireless network card.

    Label to the WRT54G ver.2 Watch model number. I don't think that the firmware has been upgraded.

    It's used to work. What has changed? The laptop which allows you to connect wireless is dead. I now have a 2nd PC located on the same table as the old PC. There is no wireless card with at this stage, but ultimately it is the old computer, will receive his internet connection without wire - ly, as computers will physically be in separate rooms. I don't see how these changes would affect the operation of the router.

    I have no idea how to solve this.

    TIA,

    Phil

    Hi cellist.p and welcome to the forums!

    Have you tried power cycling? If not, try turning off the computer > router > modem and set up the modem > router > computer to see if it works. If not, access the router page to see if it has an Internet IP address. Open the browser and then type 192.168.1.1, do not fill in the username and type admin for the password (unless you have changed it before), go to the status tab and check the WAN/Internet IP address.

  • WRT54GS2 and Siemens ADSL modem - give up Internet connection

    I have a problem with the internet connection. I have a Win98 Office connected directly to a DSL - SIEMENS Speetstream 4100 modem. This connection works well.

    I had a (old school, blue and black) WRT54G wireless router connected to it which enabled me to use my laptop Windows XP Home. I upgraded the router to a WRT54GS2 so now I lose the internet connection every minute or so while connected through that. The connection between the modem and the router goes down, not connecting to desktop (wireless) or the laptop. And if I switch to the direct connection through modem, I get a solid and reliable connection to the Internet.

    Is there a problem with the ADSL of SIEMENS modem and the Linksys router plays well together?

    I tried ipconfig/release and / renew on my laptop and desktop, I disabled all computers, modem or router and put power back in the right order: Modem, router, desktop and laptop.

    Why the new WRT54GS2 loses internet connectivity when a direct connection through modem loses no connectivity and the former was reliable?

    Thanks in advance.

    Your ADSL modem is in Bridge mode. He made the PPPoE connection and then transmits the IP addresses, etc. via DHCP on the connected device. Several people seem to have problems with these modems and different routers.

    I suggest you to that you reconfigure the ADSL modem in full bridge mode (i.e. the modem really works as a simple modem and does not connect to the internet itself). Full bridge mode, you should be able to configure your router with PPPoE and connect directly to the internet. This should work better.

    If the ADSL modem is smart enough it can automatically switch in full bridge mode if you configure the router for PPPoE.

    You should see the difference in the DNS servers that got the router. Half-bridge mode modem ADSL seems to assign its own IP 192.168.0.1 as DNS server address. If you connect directly to your ISP, you should see the IP addresses of the DNS servers of your ISP.

  • WRT54G2 - no internet connection

    I have just replaced my WRT54G with a WRT54G2 router.  I used the same settings that were on my WRT54G.  Everything works fine as long as I have the blue cable plugged into my computer and the other end into Port 1 of the router.  As soon as I disconnect the blue wire from my computer, I lose my internet connection.  My computer connects to the router with no problems, I just can't connect to the internet.

    I checked and double checked all the settings on my computer (in network connections) and the configuration of the router (192.168.1.1) page and they are identical.  My settings worked fine on the previous router, but for some reason, I am unable to connect to wireless internet with the new router using the previous settings.

    Any ideas?

    Yes, you are right, reset the router and re-configuration it makes a big difference...

  • WCG200 & WRT54GS together for internet configuration problems

    OK I wil l provide as much information as I can here. First of all, the problem is that until the other day I've used DSL and now switched to comcast cable.  As such, I went and bought the wcg200 cable modem only to find out that there seems to be problem there with the firmware wireless.  Before buying the wcg200, I still have a wireles g Linksys WRT54GS.  Now, I just want to use the modem cable as an internet modem and continue to access everything I got via the 54gs wireless router and cannot find out how to configure the 54gs.

    Here is the TRICK so far.  When I restart my computer my default gateway is 192.168.1.1, which is the 54gs and I don't get any INTERNET CONNECTION.

    If I have enough IPCONFIG RENEW it switches to 192.168.1.2, and I get INTERNET & life is the way it has been.  Power down the pc and the re-boot and I'm back to 1.1.  Please don't tell me that I have create a .bat file to include in the boot to release and renew.  I'm sure it's a setting somewhere on the 54gs to have this work wireless, but use the wcg200 gateway.

    The cables are as follows:

    -patch cable cat5 wcg200 port 1 to port 1 on 54gs

    -wire cable from my computer to port 1 of 54gs until I can get this to work.

    -I can ping 192.168.1.1 which is 54gs & 192.168.1.2 = wcg200

    Currently on the wcg200:

    -DHCP is on

    -IP address is 192.168.1.2

    -IP from de.1.100 for 50

    -Wireless is disabled

    -Everything is disabled except for the firewall, multicast and porscans, these are the default values for security.

    -Everythign else is default

    -upnp disabled

    -firmware is 2.0.3.5.10 - 0425

    ON THE WRT54GS

    -J' deleted the PPPoe configuration.

    -IP address is 192.168.1.1

    -DHCP is also on (it can not be good)

    -wireless is on with - wep

    -block the anonymouse applications internet is on

    -multicast filter is on

    -filter idnet port 113 is on

    -upnp enabled

    Option 1: You still use the WCG200 gateway router and the WRT as simple access point. You almost have it. All you have to do is to disable the DHCP server on the WRT. Only the WCG is the gateway router and the DHCP server on the WCG gives correct gateway IP address. The WRT connects customers with wireless local area network. Internet settings on the WRT-related (e.g. the type of internet connection, filter, blocking, upnp, transfer/port triggering, etc.) are not all relevant because these functions have meaning only if the internet connection is connected to the internet port of the WRT. You probably want to disable the wireless in the WCG radio, if you don't want to use it.

    Option 2: Transform the WCG in a modem, or disable routing all and NAT. disable the DHCP server on the WCG. Then, on the Administration - Advanced page there is the option to turn off 'Routing and NAT '. This disables the functions of routing and makes the WCG in a standard modem. So disable Routing & NAT. You will lose the connection to the WCG.

    Now, you reconfigure the WRT: you open the web interface http://192.168.1.2/ enable the DHCP server (or better leave it turned on). Set the type of internet connection on automatic/DHCP. If you wish you can put the WRT default 192.168.1.1 IP address. Save the settings. Now, cable wires of the WCG in the internet port of the WRT. The WRT must now use the WCG as modem and gets his audience to the internet IP address of your ISP. You can check on the status of the WRT page. Now it should show an IP address instead of the 0.0.0.0 that you see if you connect the WRT by port 1 for the WCG. Make sure that your computers renewal DHCP IP address either by restarting or by entering "ipconfig / renew *" as an administrator in a command prompt window.

    That's all.

    A note: according to the manual of the WCG will be internal IP address 192.168.100.1. If you need to make changes on the WCG once again, you must either set up a static IP address on a computer inside the 192.168.100. * with the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and connect the computer directly to the WCG or you simply press the reset of the WCG for 30 seconds to reset. Then the WCG is back to 192.168.0.1 with active DHCP server, i.e. you can connect a computer directly to the WCG, it gets a valid IP address to connect to the WCG and you can make changes again.
