Connecting DSL to WRT54G

Hello...I have my computer hooked up to a LINKSYS router (BEFSR41) and the internet works great. But I decided to go wireless so I tried hooking up my computer to the WRT54G router. For some reason, the internet does not work when this is hooked up. So I disconnected the wireless and put back in the wired router and the internet works fine. Can someone tell me whats wrong? Thanks

Colebot...I fixed the problem I had. Before setting up the wireless router, I had the wired router connected and opened Internet Explorer and typed in 192.168.1.1 which is the ip address of the router. It will then ask you for a password. The default password is "admin". Leave the user name blank. I then went to the setup. The problem I had was that the wireless router was set for Automatic Configuration DHCP, but it needed to be set to Static IP. If you have the same problem as I did, copy down all the numbers for the Internet IP, subnet mask, etc under Static IP. Then disconnect the wired router and connect the wireless router. Log on the same way as you did with the wired router. Go to setup and to Static IP then copy the same numbers down that were from the wired router. Click save, restart the computer and it worked. You might want to try this out...Good luck and if you have any questions, email me or leave a message here!!

Intermittment connection problems using WRT54GS in a mixed env

I got a Wireless Router for Xmas and its been a pain ever since. Basically, the internet conection drops frequently with no obvious pattern. My setup is a Speedstream ( DSL ) modem connected to a WRT54GS V7 router supporting 2 Windows XP ( wired ) desktops and an Apple ( wireless ) laptop.
I've spent several chat sessions with Linksys tier 1 support and have changed many options and then finallly they agreed to give me a new router. The new one is still dropping 2 or 3 times a day which always require a power reset to enable the network..
Any ideas ? I really dont want to go back to a completely wired configuration but will if this isn't resolved soon...

Update firmware to latest version. Hard reset router for 1 minute. Set all settings again. Also set MTU to 1300.

Please help! I try to connect to the Internet but appears inscription There is no expansion of kernel PPP. Yesterday I used internet through the same connection- Dsl pppoe

Please help! I try to connect to the Internet but appears inscription There is no expansion of kernel PPP. Yesterday I used internet through the same connection- Dsl pppoe. Wi fi cannot connect too. On ipad and iphone it is work.

That's odd.
Try this: Unplug your Time Capsule and your router. On your MBP, click the Wi-Fi icon and select "Open Network Preferences".
Click the lock icon to authenticate, then click the "gear" and select "set service order". Wherever AirPort (or Wi-Fi - I forget what Snow Leopard calls it) appears, drag it elsewhere in the list. Click OK, then Apply, then power up your router and TC.
If that doesn't result in any change, repeat the above but try making the service(s) you do not need "inactive".
The purpose of this is to reset or at least change your Network Preferences, which somehow got confused upon upgrading to SL.

Losing Connection with both WRT54G & WRT160N

Problem In Short: My connection is going in and out randomly. One desktop, two laptops connected wirelessly. Same problem on Xbox360. I've been having problems for the last 2 months or so. My connection will randomly hang or go out completely and then come back. The timing will differ each time - sometimes every few minutes, others every hour or so. It started happening with my WRT54G. First, I thought it might have been my modem. Comcast replaced it with a brand new one - still had the same problem. Figured it would have to been the router, and considering it was already pretty old, I went out and bought the WRT160N. Installed everything accordingly, and STILL had the same problem. I lost count of how many times I've called Linksys. Tried power-cycling, tried changing router settings such as radioband, channel, Beacon Interval, MTU, etc.. and still nothing. I have one Dell Desktop connected to the Router, and then two laptops connected to the network wireless. I also have my Xbox360 connected to the network as well. I have the same problem during online games, everything will start out fine but a few minutes in it will either start lagging or lose the connection completely.
ETA: Could it be a problem with the new version of Utorrent (1.7.7)? Any help would be appreciated. Message Edited by SM26 on 05-09-2008 11:06 AM

I also have a connection problem with WRT54G v7 running the latest firmware.
Here's what happens: Seems like a rather serious bug in the firmware causes a watchdog bite.

Don't know if this is what happens to your box but if it does there's propably nothing you can do about it, besides trying a different firmware.

Wrt54g cant get on internet after connecting dsl to router

i have been trying to get this this thing working all day. ive tried everything. dsl works fine when hooked directly to the tower but as soon as i connect to the wireless router i cant get the connection? i ve tried everything including turning firewalls off and everything. please help me thanks

Verizon DSL modem not connecting through Linksys wrt54g

I recently switched to verizon DSL from comcast. The verizon modem when connected directly to the back of my mac works amazingly well. Now i was to be able to connect with my laptop and xbox360 wirelessly which was not a problem with comcast. So i take the Ethernet/Data/Modem cable(what ever you want to call it) from the modem and connect it to the INTERNET port on the back of the router. Then take another ETHERNET cable and connect it from the first WAN port to the back of my computer where the modem was originally directly connected. The routers internet light is on as is first ethernet light on the front of the router. And all three lights on the modem are on; internet, data, and dsl. The macintosh is now not able to connect to the internet. The laptop can connect to the network but not to the internet.(says local only) It seems like a lot of people have had this same problem but i have yet to see a solution. and again when i take the cord from the modem to the router and change it back to connecting the modem directly with the home computer (mac) the internet works fine. I know this seems very dumbed-down and a dumbed-down kind of answer is preferred. I have been fixing problems with our home network for years now and have never come across something that stumped me while the solution seems like it would be so simple.

If you have Verizon DSL and you wish to configure your router and connect the XBOX360 wirelessly, then, first thing you should do is to fully bridge your modem, then connect your modem to the internet port of the router and configure your router's internet connection type to PPPoE...
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
When the router’s web-based setup page appears, click Setup then look for Internet Connection Type and select PPPoE on the drop-down arrow.
Enter the username and password that your ISP provided you in the User Name and Password fields, including the domain in the username if necessary such as [email protected] and CLick Save Settings.
Click Status then look for Login Status and check it says Connected. If it’s connected, you should be able to access the Internet.
NOTE: If the Login Status says Disconnected, click Connect, then check if you’re receiving an error message.
If you get an error meaasge follow this link
For xbox -
Click on "Applications and Gaming" tab and then click on "Port Range Forwarding" subtab...
1) On the first line in Application box type in ABC, in the start box type in 53 and End box type in 3074, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box, click Save Settings once done...
2) Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...
3) Click on set-up and change the MTU Size to 1452 and click Save Settings...
4) Goto the XBox Network Settings and IP Address Settings and select manual IP Settings and assign the following on your Xbox
IP Address :- 192.168.1.20, Subnet Mask :- 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway :- 192.168.1.1...
5) Also assign the DNS Addresses on the Xbox
Primary dns :- 4.2.2.2...Secondary dns :- 192.168.1.1
6) Turn off your modem, router, and Xbox...Wait for a minute...
7) Plug the modem power first, wait for another minute and plug the router power cable, wait another minute and turn on the Xbox and test it...it will connect...
IP Address: 192.168.X.[last part of ip in your device] e.g. if static ip given to the device was 192.168.X.10 get the last part and put that to the empty box.

Can connect to Linksys WRT54G but can't get to the internet.

PowerBook G4 17" 1GHz with OS 10.5.4
Linksys WRT54G v8.00.5
SpeedStream DSL Modem
I am having a strange issue. I am able to connect to my wireless network with my PowerBook and can see the Linksys setup page, but I cannot get on the internet. If I bypass the router I can get online with my PowerBook. If I use an ethernet cable connected to my Linksys I can get online with my PowerBook. My Sony Viao can connect wirelessly and get on the internet with no issue. My PlayStation 3 and PSP have no issues. It is solely this machine that is having the issue. I contacted Linksys and went through their troubleshooting to no avail.
Does anyone have any idea as to what the issue may be, or what I can try to resolve this issue? I have done everything I can think of and no luck. Any ideas?

I plugged the IP address into Safari and, although there were 27 errors, the page loaded. I hadn't tried that before. Interesting.
The fact that the ping worked means you are connected to the Internet, and what is likely failing (causing the "You are not connected" message) is DNS name resolution.
DNS name resolution is what converts names like "www.opendns.com" to numbers, like the numbers I gave above, 208.67.219.99.
Changing your system to use the OpenDNS DNS servers, as directed above, will fix the name resolution issue on your system.

Verizon DSL and wrt54g

Having problems installing my linksys wrt54g v8 router with my verizon DSL internet connection. On the step where the computer checks the internet connection I get an error message saying. Unable to detect internet connection or something like that. I tried going into command prompt and typing ipconfig/release and ipconfig/renew then ipconfig/all and tried again but still same message. I also tried powering down the modem and restarting it. And restarting the whole entire computer but it still isn't working. Was just wondering if anyone else is having a problem with verzion and linksys router. Also if you have experienced this problem how have you fixed it? Should I try setting up a static ip or would that just be a waste of time? If you have any other suggestions then please feel free to give me any and all information you can. I'm not a beginner on computers so I fully know what I'm doing though I'm not a complete expert so I'm a little stumped on this particular issue. Thanks for reading.

Connection error on wrt54g

i have a 2wire modem and have dsl internet. when i'm installing the program and it's checking for internet connection it tells me that i have a connection error and tells me to turn off my modem and turn it on again and it still doesn't work. I connected my modem cable to the wrt54g in the 1st opening and the blue cable that comes with the wrt54g on the "internet" opening and the other end to the harddrive and while it's set up like that i noticed that when i open internet a page opens saying that i have no internet. i need help, thanks

To set up the router, first you use an ethernet cable to connect your computer to one of the numbered ports on the WRT54G. Do not connect the modem yet. Then use the setup disk that came with the router. Put the setup disk in the computer's CD drive. Follow the instructions on the setup disk. The setup disk will tell you when to connect your modem to the Internet port on the WRT54G.

Internet won't work when connection goes through WRT54GS wireless router

I get the page not found error when I open the internet when my connection goes through my WRT54GS router. It works fine when it is plugged into the wall, although I have to disable/enable the local area connection in the network connection to reset the IP address.
Any suggestions?

Repeated lost connections when using WRT54g

Hello everyone.
I have a Lynksys WRT54g v5 and a cable modem, my ISP is Virgin Mobile. Every half an hour or so my internet connection is lost and can only be regained by reseting my modem by turning it on and off. The lost connections appear to occur more frequently when the traffic is heavier. The interuptions occur even when I only have one wired PC connection.
If I connect the PC directly to the modem the connection works fine.
I have already installed the latest firmware, reset to factory settings, tried a MAC address clone as suggested in another thread but nothing has helped.
Is there anything I can try or should I just bin the router?
Thanks for your help!

Version 5 and 6 of this router are of a terrible design. No amount of tweaking, reconfiguration or firmware upgrades will likely help with the disconnect problem. Earlier versions are of a much better design. I had disconnect problems with my version 6 router for over two month which could not be resolved by many attempts through Linksys tech-support. Even replacing it with 2 more version 6 routers did not resolve the disconnect problems which occured 3 or more times a day.
After I changed to a version 3 of the WRT54G the disconnect problem was instantly cured. Version 4 and below or WRT54GL ( which is really a resurrected version4)should work fine.

Connecting Laptop to WRT54G

Trouble Connecting Laptop to WRT54GS

this happens every time the power goes out. last time. i somehow managed to reconnect, but this time i have no idea what to do! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!! i went into the connection properties and changed my IP address and located the network to put in the WEP key. it did nothing... what should i do?

Hey there, ilumtli!
You says you've changed the IP Settings of your computer? You don't need to do that actually. I need to have your answers for these questions I have in mind.
1. What is the version number of your router, you could find it at the bottom part of the device and it's usually located beside the model #; ex. WRT54GS v6. 2. Aside from this wireless computer of yours which is not working, do you have a computer which is physically connected to the router? If there is, is it able to get online?

Cannot Update Windows 7 while connected to my WRT54G.

For some reason the computers that are connected via wired or wireless through my WRT54G Vers. #6 (Firmware Version v1.02.8) will not connect for updates (Error Codes: 80072EE2-Win7, 80072EFD-Vista) especially OS, anti-virus, malware updates. This looks like I have some sort of virus, trojan, worm, or what have you, but I have Eset anti-virus software on these systems and there is no detection of anything. I have ran Spybot Seek and Destroy with no sign of spyware. These computer are not sharing files, just connected for internet. Now when I connect them each directly to the internet via cable modem they have no problem updating. All indications point to my router being the suspect, but I have not changed any settings that would have restricted any access or connections. I have Googled this to death. Is there a simple explaination for this problem? Any help is appreciated.
Mike
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok, I'm back to being able to OS update again as well for my anti-virus updates. Some how my router was updated with some Static DNS address. I performed a complete reset of my router for I did not know what else may have been reconfigured without my knowing. Once reset I then reestablished the password for the router and network, then I rebooted my computer. All is working great. I spent a total of 4 hours working this issue with very little help from the cyber space. I hope my pain helps someone.

Will the iPad Mini connect to LinkSys WRT54G Router

Will the iPad Mini connect Via WiFi to a LinkSys Wireless G Braodband Router?
The model is WRT54G V5, SN CDFBOE865514 and Firmware is the latest 1.02.8 dated 5 Oct 2009
My wife's iPad 2 connects to it well but we have been unable to connect the new iPad Mini to it.
I have read in some of your notes that the Mini will only connect to Firmware 1.02.8n.

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
