DSL modem and Wireless G router not connecting.

Alright this one is weird for me. Two days ago I got a Wireless-G CISCO router. Or a WRT54G2 V 1.5 model. Now I set it up on my XP desktop and at first it seemed fine. I tried to get onto the internet and it wouldn't go. Then I tried to connect my laptop to the router and it succeeded, but the router couldn't connect to the internet.
After calling tec they told me that I need to fully bridge my modem. I'll list the specs down there later. Anyway I wen't back to my laptop, which has windows 7, and checked the router but it has a red X to the SSID and says "The settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network." And the other SSID's around me are fine. Let's not worry about my laptop though. Back to the desktop I learned that for whatever reason my address is 192.168.2.1 and that my modem needs to be fully bridged.
I got the internet to work, but it keeps cutting out. The problem is that the IP adress goes from 192. bla bla to 99. bla bla. It would do this every time I re-cycled the router. It would start at the 192. and give me perfect internet. Then it would switch IP after 30 secounds and go to the 99. which I couldn't do anything online. So do I have to bridge?
Router: Linksys WRT54G2 V1.5
Modem- siemens DSL speedstream 4100

Oh and would there be a chance the router and modem are all together not compatible?
Thanks

  • I want to hard line time capsule to imac so uverse router, modem, and wireless is the primary connection?

    i want to hard wire time capsule to imac, so att uverse's modem, router, and wireless is the primary connection. i don't think the competing wireless features will play nice together.

    If your goal is to provide Internet access to the iMac via an Ethernet connection to the TC ... and, in turn, have the TC connected by wireless to the Uverse gateway, then as you have already guessed, this combination won't work as the two routers are not WDS compatible. Your only option with this set of networking gear would be to connect the TC to the Uverse gateway by Ethernet.

  • DSL Modem and Wireless Router problems

    I started to have problems on Tuesday. 
    My Equipment is:
    Dell Precision 870 PC with a Intel Pro network card
    Apple IMAC with the Apple Lan connection
    Lynksys/Cisco E3000 (Problem started with a Linksys WRT610N router)
    Verizon (Actiontec) GT701C DSL modem
    I came down to my office and I noticed that the DSL light on my modem was not lit.  In the past
    this has ment that there is a problem in the Central Office.  Later in the day I got hold of Verizon
    tech support and we got the DSL running again with the modem connected to either computer.
    When I connect the router to the modem and the computers to the router, Dell via wire and Apple
    via wireless 5.0 GHz 802.11N inout and restart both the router and the modem, I get connectivity
    through the router and the modem but the DSL light on the modem is not lit.  After a long period
    of time the DSL light may come on then I loose connectivity. 
    Everything was working correctly til late Monday night/early Tuesday morning.
    I have reset both the modem and routers to factory defaults several time.  I have a problem when
    trying to get connectivity with the moden after setting it up again and it takes me to the Verizon
    DSL startup site.  Tech support walked me throuogh using the "192.168.1.1/verizon/redirect" and
    shutting the redirect off.  I then have connectivity as long as the router is not connected.
    I thoought the router went so I just installed a new router, the Linksys/Cisco E3000, and I still
    have the DSL light problem. 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Having both routers the same IP address is a little bit confusing, but possible since each router creates it's own subnet and provides full PNAT support. Actiontec DSL modem has to have DHCP enabled since Linksys WAN (not LAN) port should be connected to one of 4 Actiontec LAN ports. Linksys should not have any configuration setup in regards of your WAN account. Just set it to dynamic address. In ohter words:
    1. RJ-11 connect to Actiontec mode/router.
    2. Actiontec modem should be configured to acquire an IP address from Verizon and to provide all authentication info to Verizon.
    3. Actiontec modem should be configured to allow clients to acquire dynamic IP addresses -- DHCP enabled.
    4. Linsys WAN (not LAN!) port should be connected to Actiontec LAN port.
    5. Linksys should be configured to acquire dynamic IP address and no authentifacations.
    6. Configure Linksys to be DHCP enabled or you can use static IP addresss if you want.
    7. Wireless devices would be connected to Linksys and on the way to the Internet addresses would go through double NAT conversions. Any wired device connected to Linksys would have similar  features. Any device connected to Linksys should be able to connect 192.168.1.1 assigned to Linksys, but not to Actiontec.
    8. To be able to connect Linksys and Actiontec would no be able to communicate unless you split 192.168.1.0/24 into smaller subnets and set specific routes in the table. But even you do so you will not be able to access 192.168.1.1 accross subnets boundary.
    Hope it helps.

  • Trouble with VPN and Verizon MI424WR router - not connecting to company intranet

    I need to connect to my work intranet and via VPN.  There was no problem accessing both when I had Verizon DSL.   Since I switched to FIOS, I can access email via VPN but not my Company's internet and various internal company websites.  I saw a previous forum with a similar problem using the Actiontec router, but wanted to make sure I tried a correct fix for my router.  My router is connected via both Coax ad Ethernet to the ONT since I signed up for FIOS internet first and then added TV later.  I don't know if both are active.  I have a spare Linksys wireless G router I can add to the network  if needed.  My router firmware is 20.10.7.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks to all for the suggestions.  I could not see how the VPN software was the culprit since it worked at various hotels, Panera bread ... but decided to try to uninstall and re-install the latest version.  Viola, I am now working.  I plan to leave the linksys router in the system since the speed is significantly faster. 

  • Trying to set up airport extreme with a dsl modem and get DSN server not found message .   Get a green light on airport but no internet modem and get

    Am attempting to set up a Wi Fi network with an airport extreme.    Get most of the way through the setup  (have a dsl modem) but get an error that it cannot connect to the internet.   Says I have a problem with a DSN server and asks for  what appears to be a series of numbers.    I had an old airport express working for some time and never saw this.  
    Decided to upgrade since the express was not powerful enough to work in the whole house.

    It is always a good idea when changing out networking hardware to perform a complete power recycle of all of your networking gear.
    Please try the following:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), and computer(s). Leave them powered-off for at least 10-15 minutes.
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to make sure that is has enough time to initialize.
    Power-up (plug into power) the AEBS; wait at least 5-10 minutes or until its status light is a solid green. (Note: The status light may continue to flash amber after this timeframe. This is ok as it may just be letting you know that some additional configuration items need to be taken care of like setting up wireless security.)
    Power-up the computer(s).
    Computers connected to the AEBS by either wire or wireless should now be able to access the Internet. Please post back your results.

  • WRT54G ver 6 and Wireless B Card not connecting....

    I am about to literally throw this router out the front door. I bought this one because my other one quit working and now after a very long time trying I STILL cannot get these things to work. I had a Netgear for a long time but it recently stopped working to I bought a Linksys router to go along with my wireless card.  I cannot for figure this thing out! Any help would be great!
    I am using:
    WRT54G version 6
    Bellsouth ISP
    WPC11 wireless B Card
    I have an internet connection when the modem only is plugged to my computer but not when the router is hooked up. I have checked and double checked all the connections and they are correct. My wireless card on my laptop says it has good strength and is connected to the access point but the internet connection cannot be found. 
    I have read over almost all of these threads and still cannot figure out why my internet will not work with the router. I think it has something to do with the IP addresses but I can't figure it out.....
    I have tried to use the IP address 192.168.1.1 instead of the CD with no success. I have deleted any other connections and my dial up connection. I have changed the channell also to 11. I turned off the firewalls too.  I even tried the "EasyLink Connect" tool and it could not recognize the router either. What else should I try??
    Now when I try the http://192.168.1.1 link it does not work either.....  It will not ping either.
    Thanks for any help!

    1) Remove the modem from the set-up temporarily.
    2) Connect ur computer directly to port 1 of the router
    3) Press the reset button of the router for 30 seconds
    4) Open up internet explorer and type in 192.168.1.1 on the address bar.
    5) username leave it blank password: admin
    6) Look for the LAN IP Address  w/c is set to the default value 192.168.1.1
    7) Change this one to 192.168.2.1  then save settings.
    8) Exit out of the page
    9) Connect the modem to the internet port of the router.
    10) turn off the devices in the ff order:
    ► PC
    ► router
    ► modem
    11) turn them on in the ff order

  • Given wireless range of Time Capsule is 150', will this work? Put DSL modem on phone line in garage, connect ethernet to small office bldg (125') and connect separate ethernet to main house (200'). Time capsule on each end (or Airport Express)? Thx

    Given Time Capsule wireless range is 150', will this solution work? In detached garage, connect DSL modem to phone line, then connect ethernet cable to DSL modem and run 125' to small office bldg. Connect separate ethernet cable to DSL modem and run 200' to main house. Put time capsule or Airport Express in each bldg resulting in separate wireless networks in each? Thanks.

    This will work very well. You can run a CAT5e (or CAT6) Ethernet cable up to 330 feet...or 100 meters...with virtually no signal loss.
    CAT6 costs a bit more, but will handle next generation Ethernet speeds, so if you have a choice, suggest that you opt for CAT6 cabling.

  • Must DSL modem and Extreme be directly connected to Fios DVR?

    When we had Fios installed a couple years ago, I reluctantly brought the DSL modem and Airport Extreme from the den to the family room so that the two could be connected directly to the DVR set top box.  (We have no Fios coaxle jack in the den.)  I now wish to connect an external 2T hard drive to the Extreme, but only if I can relocate everything (except the DVR STB and the TV) back to the den. 
    Would this be doable -- preferably without having a coaxle jack installed in the den?   (Fios is also providing our internet service.)  I assume having Frontier come out to install a coaxle jack in the den would be the simplest solution, but am hoping there might be a quicker and less expensive method.
    And, isn't connecting the DVR STB directly to the DSL modem really only to enable ordering and viewing movies and other pay-per-view products? 

    I have the same issue with my 24" March 2009 iMac connecting through a Linksys BEFSR41b router. I can connect directly to my cable modem with no problem, but will not automatically find the router. I had to go into the Network control panel and for the ethernet go into Advanced and manually set the speed to 10baseT, Full Duplex, and turn off iPv6. The connectors on the 9 year old Linksys router are a bit flaky at this point. I hope a new router and cable will let me connect at 100baseT.

  • 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:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4259?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    The wireless unit on the right of the diagram can be either of the newer Apple base stations.
    Extreme, Express, Time Capsule

  • HT4587 My airport express and wireless airplay speaker are connected to wife, but airplay and homesharing are not working...what to do?

    My airport express and wireless airplay speaker are connected to WIFI, but airplay and homesharing are not working...what to do?  Everything was working fine until about two weeks ago, all of the sudden airplay has disappeared from the iphone, itunes on the laptop, and the apple remote for iphone.  I have restarted the router many times, re-setup the airplay speaker and the airport express and booth are showing as being properly connected to the router when I log into the router IP address.  I was on the phone with Apple support for 30 minutes they blames verizon, got on the phone with verizon and they stated the settings were all correct and compatible with apple, got back on the phone with apple and they again are blaming verizon and trying to get me to get an airport extreme because that would fix the problem...any suggestions, please!

    There are three Airport resets, soft, hard and factory default.  It would probably be beneficial if you tried each one in sequence.  Actually, you could jump to the factory default reset if you don't mind reconfiguring from scratch.

  • HT1695 I have the 1st generation iPad.  All of a sudden it will not connect to my wi-fi.  It finds my wi-fi, but will not totally connect.  I have done everything...reset network, rebooted router etc and it still will not connect.  Any suggestions?

    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
    Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

  • 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,
