WRT54GS2 problems.

We just bought the router and set up everything. Our computer that is directly connected is fine, but our portable computers cannot connect to the network. They see the network and acts like it connects, but it won't. Any help?

Try adjusting the settings on your router wireless-

Open an Internet Explorer browser on your computer (desktop) wired page. In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press ENTER... Let the empty user name & password use admin lowercase...

For wireless settings, follow these steps: -.

Click on the Wireless tab - here select manual configuration... Wireless network mode must be mixed...

-Provide a unique name in the name box of the wireless network (SSID) in order to differentiate your network from your network of neighbors...

-Set the channel 11-2 wireless, 462 GHz... Wireless SSID broadcast should be enabled and then click on save settings... Please take note of the name of the wireless network (SSID) because it's the network identifier...

For wireless security: -.

Click the sub-tab under wireless > Wireless Security...

Change the mode of WEP wireless security, encryption must be 64-bit. Let the empty password, do not type in anything... Under type of WEP Key 1 in all 10 numbers please (numbers only and no mailbox for example: your 10-digit phone number) and click on save settings... Please note the 1 WEP key as it comes to the security key for the wireless network...

Click Advanced to change the interval of 75 beacon wireless settings > change the Fragmentation threshold to 2304, change the RTS threshold to 2304 > click 'save settings '...

Click MAC filtering wireless and make sure it is disabled...

Make sure that the wireless network connection is enabled.

XP: Click Start and goto the control panel and double-click on network connections, right click on the wireless network connection and click View available wireless networks and select your wireless network and click on connect... Now, it will give you the opportunity to put the network/wep key, make sure that you enter the correct network key and confirm... It will connect...

Vista: Click Start > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > click on connect to a network, select your wireless network and click on connect, it should ask for your key/password network, enter the network and password correct key and click on connect... It needs to connect... Once you're connected, you must restart the computer, it needs to connect to the Internet...

  • WRT54GS2 wireless problem

    So I had a problem with a big month old WRT54GS2. The problem is since I've owned the router, but it has recently worsened. Approximately every 20 to 30 minutes or so, my router connection will drop to 54 Mbps and go slowly down to 24 Mbps, until he gave up the connection and disconnects me from the internet from anywhere between 5-15 minutes, unless I have reset the router [i.e. a repair of the connection in general does not work]. Someone had this problem/seen to occur and may have a solution to this? I can provide parameters if needed, however it should be noted that moving from WPA2 to WEP has not helped at all, nor has tweaking other settings I've seen suggested. Any help is greatly appreciated! I would have rather difficult this thing to return...

    I don't have the router in question, but the modem works fine when a computer is connected to it. I gave up on it and it I'll be back for another who works out of the box.

  • WRT54GS2... SERIOUS problems...

    I had the misfortune to buy this router recently, to replace my WRT54GL dead.  It did not work properly on the first day.

    Essentially it retains its connection and works steadily, until I have the audacity to attempt to use the internet, how it promptly crashes requiring a reboot.  I don't know if it's overheating or what, but he warms up, as I believe it should be, so I put it in reverse for the ill-conceived event is actually in contact with air instead of office.  This helped very slightly to decrease the frequency of unavoidable accidents, which leads me to believe that it is probably an overheating problem.  We have 2 computers, one of which is apparently 2 too for this router 4 ports.

    I've updated the latest firmware, no dice.

    I bought this router is because I was led to believe that Linksys actually makes decent products.  My WRT54GL was amazing.  He had some points of physical damage on the shell, one of the antenna was missing, and it worked solidly until our move into our new House because he killed for good.  I would have just had to buy a new one, but, foolishly, I didn't and ended up with this Turkey instead.

    I lost the receipt for the router, otherwise I return it for a refund.   I have no choice, but to work with this or buy a new one, is there anyone out there who has overcome problems that apparently come standard with this router?

    Well, as I said already, I took steps to make sure that this isn't overheating to the best of my ability (out of place a fan of box on the thing), and I updated the firmware.

    I helped myself to this question, I managed to convince the Bank to resume the router and give me a store credit.  Not going not to bother with linksys, once again, I would use first the internet connection sharing.

  • 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.

    Here is the output of the ipconfig/all command, when my laptop is connected directly via the ADSL modem:

    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.

  • WRT54GS2 wireless connectivity

    I just replaced by WRT54G with a WRT54GS2. Installation and connection through my main desktop computer went well. I then tried to connect wireless to my laptop the girls. I couldn't see it as even available on his computer so I lowered the level of security of the WEP-128. This time I saw the connection from his laptop computer, but it wouldn't connect. Then I went to check my connection Wireless TIVO and found that he too was no longer connected. I tried following the instructions and put my SSID name and the password, but it does not work too. What I am doing wrong and how to fix it?

    Thank you for your useful tips. I wish I had waited for it instead of spend 5-6 the chat online with technical support from Linksys. While they solved my problem, they did it with me by disabling security, change my name SSID and disable the MAC filter (not even sure what these things are). I was able to cnnect OK, and they assured me that the safety of my office is not in question because of the firewall of Windows VISTA and McAfee Security. They also advised that while others may connect to Internet wirelessly through my router, there was a work around so by activating the MAC file system and by the name of each device in my router settings. I think I'll leave well enough alone because I don't want to spend another 10 hours trying to fix this thing so it doesn't work well. Everything works now without security. Thanks again for your good help.

  • WRT54GS2 v1 connection expired and server not found

    OK I got the connection expired issues and server not found on both my PC and my Laptop.I I use Zoom ADSL ISP x 5 provided. series 1605. I have a router Linksys WRT54GS2. I followed the installation program in full and was surfing without delay. The problem started there when I bought the router and plugged in about 5 months. I already spoke with technology specialists to my ISP and they said that I have an excellent DSL connection and they have not seen any problems at their end. I had disconnected the router completely my network and removed the Ethernet cable and hooked the cable directly to a DSL modem and had no problems until I plugged the router in the modem. I factory reset the router a few times and implemented accordingly to make sure everything was good. Well, I still have errors in time-out for laptops and PCs. I have tried almost everything in the book and I'm out of ideas. Am I missing something here? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I tried changing the settings through the router and nothing seems to work. I checked both PC and laptop computer for viruses and nothing. I talked to my ISP and they tell me that my DSL connection is excellent and which was not disconnects or connection has expired at their end. It is located between my router and two computers. An Ethernet cable is plugged directly from the computer to a DSL modem. And an Ethernet cable is connected directly to the rear of the router. I am just totally stumped. The internet is totally fine when I cut out the router completely. I have no disconnects when the main PC is connected to the DSL modem with router disconnected completely. I have reset the router completely and followed Linksys technical support online for the T and I still get the connection has expired. Initially, I got a Belkin wireless router and thus became the message timeout through it. I thought something was wrong with this one so I went out and bought a Linksys WRT54GS2 router Linksys Wireless G. can someone offer some advice or ideas that I have not already tried? Please? The wife and I are really frustrated.

  • MacBook Pro display problem

    Hello members of the community.

    As of recently, I have noticed some glitches when feeding on my MacBook or awakened from his sleep.

    The colors are distorted, usually with pink, green, or yellow blobs. Blobs cannot entirely replace the colors, they appear to be contained in a element would normally be. For example. the menu bar will be partially pink and white, but pink does not leave the menu bar in this area, and the Office has green lines on it.

    I tried to take a screenshot, but the problem resolves in about 20 seconds, but it's a recurring problem.

    It happens when I wake up, connection or not. I had also certain powers serious and problems of performance, such that my MagSafe LED would not illuminate when plugged on rare occasions, fan could turn unnecessarily, graphics performance were SUPER slow, and the health of my battery was running out quickly. I actually ran a report on the system at 2 different times and my quality of full load is depleting of 1.2% per charge cycle, which is very worrying. I went from 6281 mAh mAh 6138 maximum capacity after two cycles of load. I'm tracking closely it because at this rate, my battery will survive only at load cycles about 150 instead of the 1000 expected, gives me the idea that this could very well be a bad battery. The computer is also warm to the touch while you sleep, not connected to the power supply. I NAP active but even taking into account should not be hotter my iPhone did the same thing.

    I have reset the SMC, and it solved a couple of problems. The charger works fine now and my performance improved considerably (which made me feel better, either it is a high-performance laptop, a 11-inch MacBook Air should not he surpass), and battery life has improved. I feel even if it uses a lot of power in his sleep. Maybe I need to turn off the NAP and see if that makes a difference. The graphic bug still persists however, and I don't have enough time to see if the max battery is depleting again.

    In regards to the bug, is there something that can be done? Basically, I want to assure you that I took all appropriate measures or if someone else has this problem to see if it can be software related instead of my computer.

    I have the entry level MacBook Pro with the retina, last generation.

    Any constructive contribution welcome!

    See you soon.

  • with IOS 10.0.2 - 5s iphone Bluetooth problems

    Since upgrading ISO 10.0.2 my M50 from PLT Plantronics (helmet unique headset) do not reliably connects with my iPhone 5 more. I have to go to the settings, activate bluetooth turned off/turned on, touch the device on the bluetooth page, etc. Once it connects successfully, it will reconnect (if I turn off the headset and turn it back on) for a short period. The next day he does not connect itself but I play with bluetooth on the iPhone again.

    It has always worked perfectly before the 10th of IOS.

    And, as I noticed others mentioning, the volume is much lower with IOS 10. The maximum volume is much lower. I can barely hear it now, more normal background noise, while driving.

    I did:

    Forget this device for the PLT M50 and paired again (several times)

    I did a Reset Network Settings

    I don't know what else to do - but it's a 10.0.2 IOS issue.

  • Problem activation ISO 10 September 2016

    After my Ipad iOS 10.0.2 update I could not activate because it says I am not access with the original Apple journal. Makes no sense. I bought the new Ipad in seven of 2013 Dabs.com. She has been linked to my Apple account 10 days ago (I deleted my profile by own Apple support Web site suggestion as a way to fix my problem, the other restoration/upgrade to the Ipad with ITunes update). I contacted the support of Apple (I have two numbers in case Apple). Asked Apple support to provide a proof of purchase I made. Told me now the reception that I provided does not correspond to my Ipad, but Apple isn't going to help with all the details to help to regularize the situation. The Ipad is mine and well was linked to my account from the date of purchase in September of 2013 until I removed it at the suggestion of site specific help from Apple. I now do not have access to my ipad £460 for more than 10 days and have lost money and time talking to 4 different cooperatives of Apple, after 6 calls and none seem able to deal with a ridiculous situation. Alexandre Vitorino (Apple) seems to have the best handle on weird how this situation is. Please can someone fix this? A software update on an Ipad that I own shouldn't stop me using it and then force me to prove that I admit actually before I use it again! I'm a professional businessman who uses it for meetings of the Council. I have a receipt for my camera and get treated like a kind of criminal.

    My sincere sympathy for those who can't find their original receipt or forget their original log-in Ipad because Apple does not help, you and your Ipad will be also useless mine is currently!

    If you are in the same situation please confirm to this post. I can't be alone, if she feels like it!

    Lock activation occurs when the ID of original Apple blocking it does not match with your current Apple ID.

    Until you can bring a receipt valid from an Apple reseller or authorized, it's nothing you can do.

    BTW, the polling stations in this Apple-owned forums is prohibited. You can review the terms of use.

    For example, you specify that the device does not display the lock screen, correct? Do you use Touch IDS? If so, try to put your finger on the device to see if it's what he wants.
