Can't get internet access with WRT54G router

I recently purchased a used WRT54G. I replaced my old wired linksys router with it and my hosts are able to get dhcp addresses from the router, but they cannot access the Internet. I have tried to use dchp release and renew buttons under the status tab in the router's web-based gui to get a public IP address, but can't get one. I have attempted to reset the router to its factory settings, but I still can't get the public IP. I have no problem getting an IP and Internet access with my old router and the WRT54G works if I disable its dchp and daisy chain it to the old one. Maybe I need to do something else for a complete reset of the router. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jack

the router that you just purchased was maybe configured for a different network before that's why it did not work initially. after making the router back to its' factory defaults, you should reconfigure or set-up the router.. If you have CABLE ISP, enable ''mac address clone'' on the router's set-up page under the set-up tab. then check if you can get a public ip address after that.

I HAVE AN IPAD 2 WITH WIFI ONLY, CAN I GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM ANY SMARTPHONE, OR DO I NEED A SPECIFIC PHONE FOR THIS?

i ave an ipad 2 with wifi only, can i get internet access from any cell phone, or do i need a specific phone or type of phone

I received an iPad 2 for Christmas (the 1st Apple item I've ever owned!) and own a Nokia N95 8GB mobile (that's pretty much on its last legs/ready to die any day).
On the Nokia I've got 2 apps (downloaded from/via Nokia's 'Ovi' app store): JoikuSpot & HandyWi. Both are the free versions.
I've not used HandyWi much - if at all - but JoikuSpot has been great. Basically, it creates a wifi hotspot (as pjl123 mentioned) in a couple of straightforward steps, and allows a few devices to be connected. It displays who/what is connected at a given time - so you can check if the guy having coffee behind you is piggybacking your hotspot or not! - data packets sent received etc.
The paid version has the benefit of allowing you to secure the hotspot and other security features. Their website is www.joiku.com, FYI.
Given how slow behind the 8 ball Nokia has been, their phones are getting cheaper and cheaper - given Joiku's meant to work with Nokia S60, Symbian ^3, Maemo, Meego & Sony Ericsson S60, this might be a cost effective option.
Ps. Ah! One more thing - Joiku's website specifies that 3G must be used; that WAP will not work. Good luck, enjoy!

Can't get Internet to Linksys WRT54G using ARRIS TM502 modem (Cable ISP)

I just switched from DSL to Cable and now i can't get internet to the Linksys router. I can connect to it from a wireless laptop but just not get on the internet I've read other posts about doing the "clone mac" address and doing the power cycle but still cannot get the Linksys to respond. I enabled the WRT54G to clone the mac address and have spent about 10 hours in two days trying to get this to work and looking online, etc.... Any information at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, leo

After talking to Comcast again and getting another support person who didn't seem to know much, I decided to take matters in my own hands. I connected new Linksys wrt160n to Arris tm502g, but left router power off. I then did reset button on Arris modem for 10+ seconds and let it reset. I powered up router and then powered up PC that I had plugged in port1. When I went to status on router I finally had gotten IP addresses from Comcast. I then plugged my switch into port 4 and checked other devices in the house and they were ok.
Hard to believe that no one from Comcast or Linksys seemed to have a clue on what to do when I talked to them.
Thanks for your help. Hopefully someone else will find this if they need it.

Hi nthompson77,
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Do you have a data plan with your wireless provider that supports internet browsing and messaging?
If you do, is your signal uppercase or lowercase when you're having this issue? Have you tried reinserting your battery?

Connecting a WRT54G v2 to BEFSR41. How do I do it to get internet access with both?

So recently I just bought a BEFSR41 to split the internet coming from a cat5e cable from the WRT54G so I can get internet on both my xbox 360 and computer, but I've run into a bunch of issues. First off, I've tried turning my BEF into an access point by creating a new IP, disabling DHCP and connecting it to a numbered port, but I can't get internet from that solution. I've called tech support to see if they could help but I just wasted 2 hours of their time because all the solutions they tried didn't work either. So I'm wondering if its my cable thats the problem. Its a CAT5e cable branched through my room to the office room I say about 50 to 100 feet away. I receive internet through this cable when i connect it to the computer but when i connect it to the xbox it doesnt even register an ip. Also when i connect this cable to my very old netgear router RT314, it can receive internet but it has trouble with connecting to different users. Any help will be much appreciated.

Can i get wireless access with a 10.4.11

Can I get wireless access on the internet with a Dual core intel processor 10.4.11

If it has an Airport card fitted, yes.
It's very likely it already has, but to be certain, go to the Apple menu > "about this Mac" > More info
Under Network in the left pane you'll see Airport' select that and it'll tell you what card is fitted (if any).
You should also have in the menu bar on the right a pie-slice type symbol; click that and you'll get the option to switch on airport if it's present.
You'll need to set it up in Network Preferences to connect to your wi-fi router.

How can I get internet connectivity with my iPod Touch cabled to my PC?

Most devices "tether" to a computer (PC or iMac) for internet connection. I cannot find any reference in the user manual on getting internet access from the connected PC to the "tethered" ipod touch. How can I accomplish this?

Hi,
The iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS support Internet tethering over a USB cable, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3574.
The iPod touch can connect over a Wi-Fi network, as mentioned here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2031.
If your PC has a wireless card, you may be able to create an Ad-Hoc Wi-Fi network that can share the Internet access to the iPod touch.
You can also get a wireless router, like an Airport base station http://www.apple.com/wifi/.

I can connect to "linksys" as a wireless network, but get no internet access. Please help! Thank you!

The settings that you provided is for the modem so I suppose you can able to go online with modem… Please let me know the IP address that you receiving from the modem… Since the connection that you have is DSL connection and if you are receiving the IP address from the modem under LAN (Local Area Connection) is a Private IP address (192.168.X.X) then follow the steps:
# Connect the modem with the Linksys Router WRT54G on the Internet Port and then connect the Computer on any of the Ethernet Port on the Router (Numbered – 1, 2, 3 and 4)…
# Open up the browser and on the address bar type 192.168.1.1 that will open up the Router setup page…
# Look for the Local IP Address and change it to 192.168.2.1 …
# Click Save Settings...
# Then Click on wireless Tab create the Wireless Network Name SSID and select the channel to 6, 9, and 11… Click Save Settings...
# Then Click on Wireless Security sub tab and select the security mode and provide the password as per the requirement… Click Save Settings...
# Click on Status Tab on the Router Setup page check if Internet IP Address has numbers or values. If the Internet IP Address has numbers, the computer should now be able to access the Internet. If the IP address is all zeroes (0.0.0.0) click "IP Address Release" first then click "IP Address Renew". If the IP address is still all zeroes, enable PPPoE on the router.
To enable PPPoE on the router you should have a username and password provided by the ISP (Internet Service Provider) and follow the steps...
# Under the Setup tab, set the Internet Connection Type to PPPoE…
# Enter the Username and Password that your ISP provided, including the domain in the User Name field if necessary…
# Click Save Settings...
# Then Click on wireless Tab create the Wireless Network Name SSID and select the channel to 6, 9, and 11… Click Save Settings...
# Then Click on Wireless Security sub tab and select the security mode and provide the password as per the requirement… Click Save Settings...
# Click the Status tab then look for Login Status and check if it says Connected. If it’s connected, you should be able to access the Internet.
After doing the following settings then connect the wireless computer the preferred Network… Once it gets connected you will be online wirelessly as well…

Can't get internet access to computer based DVR

I have a computer based DVR (security cameras), that I want to be able to see through the internet. I have done a lot of reading on the net for how to set port forwarding in both the router (Linksys WRT54G) and the modem (Westell 6100G). I can access the camera computer from other computers on the LAN using the camera computer local IP or by using the router IP, but can’t get to the camera computer from the internet. The modem is bridged and I created a port forward to the camera computer both in the modem and router. What am I missing?

I apologize I didn't realize it was a linksys router
http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/WRT54Gv2.04/DINA_DVR_Server.htm
This is a similiar set up and linksys requires that you put a port number for the start.
it looks like it wants the same number as the end
so 9000 start and 9000 end
take a look at that site, and tell me if that helps. sorry about that.

Can I get wifi access with my iphone 4 verizon in china?

I have an iphone 4 with Verizon. I have been told I can't get phone service, but have also been told I can get to the internet in hotels with wifi to get my webmail. Is this true? Will Google translate work under these conditions? Maps?

WiFi should work anywhere in the world. China blocks a lot of sites including (last I heard) the non-Chinese version of Google, though, so whether or not you'll be able to use Google Translate I don't know. I don't see Translate on the Google Hong Kong site, so it seems doubtful, but someone else here may know.
Regards.

RV042 - I have customer who upgraded to 20 meg cable internet service and can only get 10 meg thru the router.

RV042 - I have customer who upgraded to 20 meg cable internet service and can only get 10 meg thru the router. The customer had upgrade to a 20 meg cable internet service from a 10 meg service. The customer is only able to get the 20 meg service going from cable modem to PC. If he goes thru the RV042 router, he is only getting up to 10.7 down and 1.37 up. Additional steps taken….He had a Linksys SRW224P switch connected to the RV042 router and we had disconnected this switch for testing purposes. We performed the speed test again and we get the same speed results so we know the switch is not the issue.He had upgraded to firmware version 1.3.12.19 – TM Feb 13, 2009 – tested speed and no change.We accessed the web management interface and tried several modifications. This includes the following…..- We disabled the firewall – no change- We disabled SPI with is the Stateful Packet Inspection (I was thinking this one would do it) – no change in speed.- We disabled DoS (Deny of Service) – no change.- We set MTU to Manual and tested various byte increments based on MTU ping testing. – Once again, no change in speed. He is NOT using Load balancing on the routerHe has NO access rules but does have a few port forwards. Finally, with each change, he is saving the changes on the router.

You are expecting 20MB throughput on a $150 router? Well, ok, maybe.. Can you check on your router or switch if the port is set or auto negotiated to 10 or 100? That could explain 10MB limit (although technically a 10Mb port is considered 20Mb theoretical max throughput as 100Mb port is considered 200Mb per Cisco). So maybe you ended up with 10/half somehow? MTU 1500 would also be good for that connection I think and to try to get max throughput.

TS1398 my wifi is showing connected but i am not getting internet access. When in the settings wifi settings you can see the wheel or timer spinning but never a check mark like my other iPad.

my wifi is showing connected but i am not getting internet access.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Can I get an Ipad with wifi and cellular but no contract with a carrier in the US? I want to use it overseas in Africa with a local SIM card and use the cellular signal for all my internet.

Can I get an Ipad with wifi and cellular but no contract with a carrier in the US? I want to use it overseas in Africa with a local SIM card and use the cellular signal for all my internet.

Yes you can. All Ipad's are unlocked and can be used any where in the world. Buy the AT&T version which is GSM in other countries

Why can I not get internet access today?

I was not able to get internet access at home this morning and now I can't get it at the office. G-mail says the mail server is not responding. Also, none of my apps are loading. Verizon, please fix this!

Criggs, we have work to do! We can't have you without service and access to your g-mail account. Do you have wireless or landline service? Which wireless phone do you have?
