Can't get WRT54G to connect to internet

Have been using a WPC11 v.4 wireless router for a couple of years now.
Just purchased a WRT54G and cannot seem to get it to connect to the internet.
After spending over an hour with both Verizon DSL tech's and Linksys tech still no joy.
Have run through complete software setup while online with Linksys including several different setups. Last instruction from Linksys was to call back Verizon and make sure my modem was set up as a bridge.
I did that and still no joy. So I have hooked up the old router and bingo connection right away with no problem
Help.

hi..if the old router works with the modem in bridge mode...i find no reason why it should not work with the new wireless router unless your router has an older firmware...
you can try this out...
http://www.linksysfix.com/check/FirmwareUpgrade/LinksysUpgrade.exe
this will help you upgrade the firmware on the new router and once upgraded successfully , reset it for 30 secs and then configure the router....

Can't get router to connect to internet - printer

This is not strictly an airport extreme question but I've got a major problem with my mac intranet set-up and hopefully someone can assist:
Until 6pm here in Belgium today my Cable internet system was working fine (the past 2 years!).
Suddenly no internet via my DI-604 router:
System setup: Cable to cable modem, to DI604 router - splits to DI-635 modem /wireless on one side; and other side to asante switch - which has Laserwriter printer, Canon iP4000R printer and other connections for other computers to plug-into the internet.
Suddenly the DI-604 won't work - even when I try to go directly (internet modem to DI604 to MacBook) via http://192.168.0.1 -- and reset it-- nope, won't work.
I do have internet if I just plug the Cable Modem directly to the MacBook
I also have internet if I plug the modem directly to the Asanté switch and then to the MacBook - I can print to the LaserWriter printer with this setup; but not to the Canon; and cannot plug-in the DI635 modem (to the Asanté) and get it to work...
Big mess and really not a clue why this stopped working and why I can't go back to where I've beenfor the past 18 months... Leaving on vacation in 72 hours and would like to have this back to normal before leaving because to have this mess upon my return is a nightmare...
Can I replace the DI604 with an Apple Extreme or Apple ??? modem? I'd still like to have the WiFi via the DI604 which has worked so well the past 18 months-- WHAT IS GOING ON??
Thanks for any comments, suggestions links or whatever.

Can I replace the DI604 with an Apple Extreme or Apple ??? modem?
Yes, you could replace the DLink DI-604 with the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn).
In turn, you can still connect the Asante switch & DI-635 wireless router to the available LAN ports on the AEBSn.

Can't get Firefox to connect to internet at all, but I can connect via IE. This is a recent development, night before last. I am on a Dell using WXP, use a broadband connection.

I was told by my cable company (RCN) that the copy of Firefox I have would need to be removed (I have v. 4.0.) They gave me a microsoft # to call, in order to deal with removing the copy. MS could not help, gave me a # for Firefox, but it was incorrect. I cannot find a tech support # on this help site. Please help me via e-mail or give me a # to call.

Thanks for sharing that info, this will be really useful if others would ever run into the same issue.

Hi..I have an AirPort Extreme base connected to my DSL Modem and has been working fine. But I recently bought another DSL modem along with the latest Airport Express. With this one however I can't get it to connect to the Internet. Any suggestions?

Hi..I have an AirPort Extreme base connected to my DSL Modem and has been working fine. But I recently bought another DSL modem along with the latest Airport Express. With this one however I can't get it to connect to the Internet. The light on the Express is flashing green though. Does it mean I have to re-set the settings on Airport Utility? I.e. the old settings haven't been cleared yet. Any suggestions?

Let's see if I can get this straight.
You have an Airport Extreme base station that is set to "Create a wireless network" and you have the box checked for "allow this network to be extended"....
Then you have an Airport Express that is set to "Extend a wireless network" which you selected the name of your network in the box...
Correct?
See this Apple document:

The wireless unit on the right of the diagram can be either of the newer Apple base stations.
Extreme, Express, Time Capsule

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect. Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.

Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect. Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static IP, Subnet, Router and DNS manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected. Using Airport for router, latest firmware, no problems with Iphone 4 or Macbook Pro or any other internet devices. After total Restore (factory settings) tried again, showed connected to router, but does not display "check" next to router but little rotating icon even though the wifi range signal shows connected at full strength and it says it is connected. Just can't seem to get it to generate an IP. Any solutions other than turning it on and off again? Not a Merry Christmas morning.

Ok, so, a couple of things: Denisefromwaleska and I have the exact same size/type/color iPod. Now wishing I'd bought the black one maybe...
Second, Airport is an Express and I have a second one that I carry with me when I travel. Tried to connect my Airport Express to the internet and could not although the iPod did recognize the router and tried to connect to the internet for some time, unlike my previous problem. Updated firmware on my travel router, still could not connect to the internet. Going to try to set up a manual Static IP on the travel router here in a few and conect through it although I predict the problem will persist. Back on the Christmas Present Airport Express router, it is back in play and working fine for all devices save the iPod.
Thanks again for all your help, hopefully I can get a solution in place soon,

How can I get an automatic connection to wifi on startup?

We lost internet connection during snow/ice storm. I have to manually connect to wifi now. How can I get an automatic connection to wifi?

An 'uninterruptible power supply' that automatically steps in and takes your computer
off the grid momentarily, will work in cases of brown-out (under-power) & surge (spike)
and it does so at a fast rate. Most of these also offer a way to customize sensitivity to
a certain degree, depending on model and should there be a valid reason to do so.
An old-school surge protector, even if it has a few fancy LEDs, is no protection. And
for less than a replacement logic board or an hour of authorized Apple repair, the UPS
is a fairly good investment. Backup battery is user-replaceable in the better made units.
Most of them offer extra ports that do not use the battery-backup power feature. If you
need to have more items run when the power switches up/down or out, you'd need to
consider a larger capacity backup power unit. In some instances, the makers of these
(for a time, perhaps even now) did caution users to not install more than one UPS per
room when the same leg may have inadequate grounding, since these can dump the
excess surge power from several different UPS units and overload the ground.
That said, the gamble is yours. I've found to have and use these is some protection
and when away from the computer. Most settings for controlling them appear in OS X.
No additional software is required. Other settings may be on the UPS front panel.
Good luck & happy computing!

Just brought home my IPad. I have the MIFI on and it is bringing in a signal to my IMAC but I can't get it to connect to my IPad. Any suggestions?

Does your iPad see you network? If no, are you broadcasting its SSID?

I'm staying at my house in Peru, South America. From my PC laptop I can see my neighbor's wifi service network, but I also have my mini iPad and I can not figure out why I can't get any wifi connection from my area. Is there a setting I need to do?

I'm staying at my house in Peru, South America. From my PC laptop I can see my neighbor's wifi service network, but I also have my mini iPad and I can not figure out why I can't get any wifi connection from my area. Is there a setting I need to do?

Yes, I did try to go on my settings>wifi and was waiting for any wifi signals to pick up, but nothing shows up. But on my PC I get a whole list of networks to choose from. Regarding my neighbor, I already have her password that is why I was able to get it on my PC, the problem is that the mini Ipad is not picking any signal neither can it locate me when I go to maps.

I can't get a database connection.

Background: I've already built two sites with databases using DW CS6, PHPMySQL, and the same hosting company, so I know they allow remote connections. (I'm developing using the remote host because I've never found a tutorial for how to move it all from local XAMPP to my host - but hey, it's been working fine so far.)
I set up the database using CPanel Databases, added the user and password, no problem. Went into PHP MySQL and added a table, logged out and back in, the table is there as defined.
In DW, I double-checked the testing server, tested the connection, and it connected successfully.
Then I opened a page for editing and added a database connection (all as I had done on the previous two sites that work fine). I named the connection, entered the user, the password and tried to SELECT a database. No luck. HTTP Error 404. I manually added the database (the only one) and clicked test. Again no luck. HPPT Error 404.
I double checked the testing server, double checked the DB information, and nothing seems to work.
Any clue what I'm doing wrong? Thanks so much if you can help.

UPDATE:
Okay, this is really getting weird. As a typcial computer nerd, I know there are many roads to success, so if one doesn't work, try another.
Trying a different solution, I opened a test.php page and wrote the following code:
<?php
echo "<p>Now testing database connection.</p>\n";
$db_server = "localhost";
$db_username = "mcsb831_mbradmin";
$db_password = "***(redacted)***";
$link = mysql_connect($db_server, $db_username, $db_password);
if (!$link) {
    echo "Could NOT connect.<br />\n";
}else{
    echo "Connected Successfully.<br />\n";
    mysql_close($link);
I loaded the page to the server and guess what? I got the message "Connected Successfully."
Hooray! Now I know the database server is running, and the database and user name and password are valid.
I went to the DW MbrConnect01.php file (the name of the CONNECTION file that Dreamweaver creates when I tried to make the connection through DW), and verified the database name, user name, and password were correct -- I copied and pasted them from the code above to make absolutely certain there were no transcription errors. Here's that file:
<?php
# FileName="Connection_php_mysql.htm"
# Type="MYSQL"
# HTTP="true"
$hostname_MbrConnec01 = "localhost";
$database_MbrConnec01 = "mcsb831_members";
$username_MbrConnec01 = "mcsb831_mbradmin";
$password_MbrConnec01 = "***(redacted)***";
$MbrConnec01 = mysql_pconnect($hostname_MbrConnec01, $username_MbrConnec01, $password_MbrConnec01) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR);
?>
And guess what?
I GOT THE STINKING ERROR MESSAGE AGAIN!!
(See previous post for the full text of the message.
Yes, I checked the server using an FTP browser for the presence of the required files, and they are there.
Does anyone have a clue what's going on here? I would absolutely love to use DW's DB automation tools, but none of them will work if I can't get a DW connection to work.
I notice that my code uses mysql_connect while the DW-generated code uses mysql_pconnect (which is deprecated), could that be the culprit? How do I fix it if so?
PLEASE, can someone help?

Can't get WRT54G to start up, gets stuck at "checking computer settings"

Can't get WRT54G to start up, gets stuck at "checking computer settings" at 99% Please help!
If I hit the escape key it will go to the password screen, it looks like the password is already entered for me so I hit enter, but then it just goes back to "checking computer settings" and won't go past 99% again.'
Sorry but the last post mistakenly said the wrong number so I posted this.

If you are running the install CD that came with the router, the behavior you describe is exactly what happened when I tried using the CD today. The CD didn't seem to work with my computer's fixed IP address (not in the 192.168.1.0 network.)
What worked for me was to set my computer to have the fixed IP address 192.168.1.2. Then I was able to contact the router using its web interface at 192.168.1.1 amd make the necessary settings.
The password had NOT been changed from the default despite the install CD software seemingly accepting a new password. The default password worked.

You can purchase recovery disks from HP. Here is a webpage showing you how to do that:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=bph07143
If HP no longer supplies your specific recovery disk, you can usually find one from a 3rd party site, such as www.restoredisks.com for between $20 and $30.

Bought New Extreme, works great with Macs but can't get PC to connect

I just bought a new Airport Extreme this weekend. As promised it was a breeze to set up and things were working well until I tried to connect my TIVO and my work laptop (Windows) to the network I set up. I can't get either to connect to either the base network or the guest network with any level of security set on it. My only success has been to configure the Guest Network without security on it (but I don't like that idea).
Please help.

I don't see "Equivalent Network Password" as a selection on the Base Network screen (or any of them for that matter).
Isn't this the password for my base station and not the wireless network? Maybe that is my problem. I am trying to connect to the network and not the Base Station? I am getting confused. What I really need to do is connect my work laptop (Windows based machine) and my TIVO to the wireless network I've created (Radio Mode selected to Automatic, Channel Selection to Automatic, Security set to WPA/WPA2 Personal).

Bought a blue tooth keyboard and I can't get it to connect to the ipad

I bought a keyboard from bro ketone to use with the iPad. I can't get it to connect on the Bluetooth. Does anyone use this product with their iPad?

Return your phone and get your money back. There are no unlocked iphones sold in the US...none...zero...nada. All US iphones are locked to AT&T with no way to officially unlock them as AT&T will not authorize the unlocking of an iphone for anyone for any reason. Doesn't matter if purchase the iphone with or without contract, they are all locked to AT&T. Return it and purchase a phone in France. All of the carriers there offer unlocking.
