Linksys WRT54GSV4 Wireless Router

Hi
I have a Linksys WRT54GSV4 Wireless Router with frimware version 1.06.1.
I have a internet connection that can performe 100Mbit/s. But when i check my connection with "TP Test" I only get ~40Mbit/s. I do the test without the router and I get 80Mbit/s+.
Why is that? How do I get the router to pass through the traffic at high speed?
Thanks....

I guess you should get the latest firmware 1.00.9

    Hi,
    I just bought a linksys WRT54G Wireless Router. My laptop was able to detect it wirelessly untill I changing the "Router Name" in the setup page(http://192.168.1.1)
    While saving the settings, the wireless network suddently disconnected. From that point onwards, I was not able to detect the wireless network with any computer at all.
    I tried unplugging it, resetting it, and even restory factory settings by holding the reset button for aprox 30 secs.
    What is wrong?
    Thanks in Advanced

    Recheck the wireless setting (SSID, encryption, DHCP, etc) on router management page again. Also make sure your computer's wireless adapter setting matches the one you set on router.

  • Linksys WRT110 Wireless Router

    I need to setup my Linksys WRT110 wireless router for  wireless use as well as a router between my cable modem and my desktop PC. So far, I cannot find any documentation on how this is done or if it is possible at all. When I called Linksys support they told me it can be done and provided me with a link to the instructions, however, they did not work. Does anyone know if this is possible? I need to setup in order to work from home and I cannot use a wireless connection to my cable modem but I need a router between my desktop PC and my cable modem. Oh, by the way, I have a new HP desktop which is running Windows 7.  I would appreciate any help someone can lend me.  Thank you. SHH

    From what i read on your post looks like your trying to use your wrt110 as a wireless access point and you want to still use your router near your modem.
    To do this what you have to do is disable your wrt110 as a dhcp server since your other router near your is acting as the dhcp server.
    So what you do is hook a cable to your wrt110 in port 1. type in 192.168.1.1 in the address bar of your internet explorer.For now this 192.168.1.1 number will get you into the wrt110 until you change it to 192.168.1.5  under setup you will see 2 areas. Under the ip address type in 192.168.1.5 so this make your wrt110 have this ip address.
    Below that you will see DHCP server setting disable this. So your wrt110 will not act as the dhcp server it will act as a wireless access point.
    Now if you type 192.168.1.1 in your web brower that will open the configuration screen of the router next to your modem. Which that dchp server setting will be enabled.
    So basically from your modem your first router will route the signal from the modem thru the router to the computers hooked to it. then say you run a cable from that router to the wrt110.So basically your just uplinking to the wrt110. only thing is your wrt110 will have to act as a access point instead of a router.
    Your main router configuration screen to get into it. you would type 192.168.1.1 in your brower after you setup your wrt110 an disable the dhcp server and set the ip to 192.168.1.5 when you type this number  the 105 number in your browser it will go into the web config screen of the wrt110
    So to access the web config screens of both routers they will have different numbers.
    1st router by your modem will be 192.168.1.1
    2nd wirless one will be 192.168.1.5 which you changed when you when in and disable it as a dhcp server since your 1st router by your modem acts as the dhcp server.
    Hopefully this will help. I know it does get a little confusing been there and done that more then once.  If not call linksys on the phone tell them what products you have and how you want it to work they will walk you thru it.
    My setup in my home from my modem it connects to a 4 port router, then from there to a 24 port switch then uplinks with a Power over Ethernet adapter which sends power thru this little adapter over the brown pair in the cable so you dont need a electrical outlet where you put your wireless access point/router. Then from my switch it uplinks with that POE to a Wrt110 upstairs in my home. I know what a pain this can be i've call them more then once to get mine setup and working.
    GOOD LUCK HOPE THIS HELPS

  • I have a Linksys WRV200 wireless router and the wireless signal is not working properly so I cannot connect to the internet wirelessly. the wireless light has a fast green blinking light. how can I fix the router?

    I have a Linksys WRV200 wireless router and the wireless signal is not working properly so I am unable to connect to the internet wirelessly.  The wireless light is blinking green very quickly and I connect and disconnect from the network constantly.  How do I get the router to work properly

    Hello James,
    The flashing WLAN light means activity (data getting transferred). Try disconnecting all your devices and check whether the light is still flashing or disconnect the router from internet and do the check.
    Do you have your SSID as linksys or the default one? If your neighbor has the same SSID, then traffic could result from your neighbor's one. Try changing your SSID and password. Make your security WPA/WPA2.
    Hope this helps,
    Thanks

  • How can I turn off my Linksys 1200 wireless router?

    Hi,
    I just got a Linksys 1200 wireless router and wanted to know how (and the best way) I can turn it off (besides unplugging it) when I am out of town? 
    Thanks

    hi there.
    there is no on/off switch in the router. these devices are meant to run 24/7 so there's no off on it.

  • My Linksys E1200 wireless router stopped working

    Hi, my Linksys E1200 wireless router stopped working. When my checked my network it said "Limited Connection." However, when I connect my ethernet cable directly to the modem my internet works fine.
    Can someone help me with this?

    @JeffNewYork
    Are you getting that error hardwired to the router? Or wireless? Since the internet is working directly to your modem, you may need to reset and reconfigure the router depending on the settings from your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

    Setting up a Linksys router with DSL Internet service

  • Trying to setup my Linksys WRT54G Wireless Router but having trouble.

    Right, i will keep this nice and simple. I have had broadband internet for the past 10 days and yesterday i got myself a Linksys WRT54G Wireless router so both myself and my partner can connect our Macbook Pros up to the wireless internet.
    But the problem is we cannot seem to connect onto the wireless network. It shows up when searching for internet connecting even when its is open without a password or with a password it does not want to connect?!?!
    I can plug my laptop directly (as i am doing now) into the broadband modem and it works so i have no idea what is wrong? This afternoon we tried using a Windows Laptop and had the same problem. The wireless network shows up but when you enter the password that was entered on the 192.168.1.1 website it does not reconise it?!?!
    If you can reply speaking English and not too much computer language that would be fantastic.
    Many thanks

    Hi candn14 and welcome to the forums!
    Since internet connection is working fine on the laptop computer when plugged directly into the modem, you just need to configure your router settings.
    Are you using a DSL or Cable connection? Please see the links below on how to configure your router with your internet provider (ISP).
    Setting-Up a Router with Cable Internet Service
     Setting-Up a Router with DSL Internet Service
    Once you are finished doing so and your laptop is able to connect to the internet when connected to the modem > router > laptop, then you are now ready to configure the wireless settings of the router for you to be able to connect wirelessly.
    Here are the steps:
    Setting-Up the Wireless Settings on a Router
    And please secure your network w/ a password.

  • How do I connect my HP Laserjet 1102w directly to a Linksys AE3500 wireless router with USB option?

    I am trying to connect an HP Laserjet 1102w directly to an HP desktop model a172n with Windows Vista Home Premium OS (32 bit) through a new Linksys AE3500 dual band wireless router which has a USB port for a direct connection. The desktop can see the wireless router but not the printer.
    Is there a work around, a printer installer update, or some other solution that enables me to connect the desktop to the printer via the USB connection on the wireless router? I need to have one wireless laptop and one non-wireless desk computer able to use the one printer.
    Thanks for any assistance!

    hi there,
    It seems as though this situation will require the Cisco connect software to function properly. Check out this article from the cisco knowledge base. It has the step by step setup specific to your case. Let us know if this helps or if you have already been through these steps.

  • I have a Linksys WRT54G wireless router that has a MAC address

    A month ago, I could print from my PC and my Mac to my Epson printer over my Linksys WRT54G wireless network.  Now, for some reason, I cannot connect and print from either computer.  An Epson tech asked me to check the MAC address of the Mac and the printer to see if they were the same.  They were not.  He then opined that might be why I couldn't print.
    I don't know what changed a month or so ago or why it changed.  I have not done anything to change the MAC address on either the MAC or the printer.
    The Epson guy said the problem might be fixed by adding my printer's MAC address to my router's MAC address.  Something about "enabling MAC address filtering".  Then he told me that was an issue to pursue with my router manufacturer.  Naturally.
    Speaking of that problem...someone else had it, too...another technician at another site wrote: "...by default, routers don't come with mac address filtering enabled...and if that's the case....then adding the printer's MAC will not solve any issue that you may be having..." 
    So, three qustions:
    (1)  Can I add my Epson Workforce 545 printer's MAC address to my Linksys router?  Is that possible? 
    (2)  If I can do it, how do I do it?  I saw no "add" or "edit" functions on the Linksys WRT54G Status Page.
    (3)  What causes MAC address mismatching to happen?   What is unstable in that assembly?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Mac addresses with different devices will differ. No two devices will have the same mac address. this is also called the hardware address. This is designed so that it will serve as a unique identifier of your devices in the network which you can check thru the router. Now it is possible that wireless mac filter might be blocking it from connecting to the network. But it would be best to check as well and make sure that the printer is connected to your network and has the same ip address segment as your router.
    How to check if mac filter is enabled:
    Setting up wireless MAC Filtering to permit users to connect to the wireless network on your Linksys...

  • LInksys E1200 Wireless router is not responding after a while

    Hi there, I have E1200 wireless router and it was working nicely for the whole last year with 2 mac laptops hooked up on it. About 2 months ago there were 1 mac,1 win laptop and a network printer. And again, it was working just fine at the beginning. I'm not sure when exactly it happened first, but now after working couple of hours internet gets off and router stops responding. If I try to reconnect to it from my laptop I just see an error message saying something about "Connection timeout". Also I don't know does it have something to do with the network printer, btw it's connected to the router via ethernet cable not wireless. Anyway, the only solution I've found so far is power off the router for a couple of secs and power it on again, which is obviously not a solution at all, it's annoying and not practical. The time it works fine before it dies is also not fixed, it might be even 10 hrs of working and sometimes only 1-2 hrs. My other suspicion is firmware. I upgraded it almost at the same time when new laptop and printer showed up. Maybe I have to downgrade it, but I couldn't find older version of it. It was HW v. 1, SW v.1.0.00, and now it's HW v.1, SW v.1.0.03. I'd highly appreciate if someone could help me out or at least show me direction where to dig in. Thanks.

    It seems that router is intermittent. I suggest you observe your internet connection without the router which means connecting the computer to the modem (if you can) to isolate if your modem's internet connectivity is okay or stable. Upgrading the firmware to the latest is actually okay. Try to reset your router back to factory defaults by pressing its reset button found at the bottom for 10 seconds. When you do reset by the way, it will delete all the current settings that you have especially for the wireless. But you can take note of them before you reset the router. After the reset, you have to get the internet up and running again. You may refer to  the links below on how to get it up and running again for wired and wireless internet.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless Networking with LINKSYS WRT54GS wireless router

    I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless printer conneted via WiFi to my LYNKSYS WRT54GS wireless router.  I do not have a USB cable or ethernet cable plugged to the printer.  I am able to use the 'scan to email button' and the 'scan to network folder' button on the front of the printer and I can pint from the PC to the printer with no problems.
    I installed the HP printer software from the CD, choosing network/wireless connection, without having to install any USB cables from the PC to the printer in the process.  many posts in the forum mention having to connect USB cables in the wireless installation process.
    Can I install the software in the same fashion on the other two laptops? Or, do I need to do something differently?

    The USB cable is used on those printers which do not have display or front panel wireless setup is not possible. We configure the wireless settings during install and save those settings in printer's memory by transferring through USB cable. Therefore the USB is plugged in during wireless installation temporarily. In your case I don't think plugging in USB cable is necessary as the printer is already on network and had IP address. Connect the laptops on wireless network and proceed with regular install, the printer should be detected automatically.

  • Question about Linksys G Wireless Router and i cant connect my iPod Touch and PSP to it.?

    I just got a new Wireless router and it works fine.The model number is WRT54G2. The internet is working and I can go on my xbox live and things like that. The only problem is that my iPod touch and things and my PSP can detect the connection but are unable to join it. Why is this. It was working fine on my previous router.

  • Linksys WRT54GS Wireless Router keeps disconnected

    Hi, My wireless router WRT54GS keeps on disconnecting without any reason. I have also changed the channel to 11 but still the same issue. It connects for 1 minute and then it stops working even though the signal says "excellent strength" and all the bars are green.

    Hmm. I seem to be having a similar problem (see my thread). Check the cable that is pulugged into the back of the computer. That is where my problem lies. The computer doesn't seem to be reading it. If i get some info, ill help you.
    EDIT:You have to check the IP address of the computer connected to router. If you are getting an IP of 169.254.x.x, then the router might be defective.

  • Setting the time on Linksys WRT610N wireless router

    Using a Linksys WRT610N, v1, latest firmware installed.
    I have been working on wireless access permissions for specific times but, after testing, it appears the time is off 7 or 8 hours.  I checked the time zone and it is correct but I can't find anyplace to tell me what time the router thnks it is.
    How do I tell what time the router thinks it is and how do I change the time?

    Open the setup page of the router .
    On the Basic Setup page at the bottom you will see the Time Zone settings .
    Select the Time Zone in which you are .
    See if that helps you .

  • Cisco Linksys E1500 Wireless Router Issues

    About a month ago, I bought this new router, and at first it seemed like it was working okay, but then i started noticing that my roku box (watch netflix) was cutting out all the time, losing the connection from the new  router. I also began to notice that if more than one person was online, pages took forever to load, can't watch youtube videos and even listening to music online like Pandora became difficult. Also it says that I can get up to 300 mbps but when i run the test I get .50 download and about 1.8 upload 
    Details About Router & Connection
    Its a Linksys E1500  with the capability of up to 6 devices and my IPS is Comcast.

    Make sure to upgrade the router’s firmware if there is a new firmware update available. Try to play around with the router’s wireless settings; use this tool: http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/ to select the best channel that you can set on your router. With regard to that 300 Mbps of speed, it means that it is the maximum link/card speed that the adapter could get from the router not the actual internet speed.
