WRT54GS v6 1.52 firmware kills internet

I upgraded to firmware v1.52 for my WRT54GS wireless router. Now, I cannot connect to the Internet. The router network status shows 0.0.0.0 for IP address from my cable modem. Tested with a different router and everything works fine. So I assume it is the firmware upgrade.
Please advise on location for a firmware downgrade.

Since you are using cable modem you have to clone pc's mac and disabled block WAN request. I hope I am helping.
No you dont...  Please explain why you have to clone if you use a cable modem?  I have used a cable modem for 5 years and not one time have I had to clone the PC's MAC.  Not even when I bought new computers.  Just reset the modem to clear the memory.

  • I have a WRT54G Wireless modem with firmware version 1.02...

    I have a WRT54G Wireless modem with firmware version 1.02.1 Mar 4 2003. i down loaded the latest firmware for the modem but i can't install it. I get the erroe message"incorrect image file".
    What is wrong?

    Which version of the WRT54G do you have?  If it is not clearly stated on the router, go to Wikipedia.org and search for WRT54G, then you can use your router's serial number to determine which version of the router you own.
    The version of the router is important.  Each version has a different set of hardware in it, so each version takes a different firmware.
    You can only load the firmware that corresponds to your model and version.

  • I can Wake over the Internet with WRT54GS v2 and Tomato Firmware perfectly!

    However, this router won't last forever.  Do any of the new routers allow Port Forwarding to a broadcast address, which is necessary for Wake on WAN because of ARP release and renew?  Just spent the week on vacation and several different issues came up which made accessing my desktop at home advantages without having to leave it on all the time.  Thank You

    Well now a days all the linksys router has a port forwarding feautre. You can think about N Series Router ( WRT150N, WRT300N, WRT400N, WRT600N).

  • WRT54G Ver 1.1 Firmware Upgrade

    I was experiencing some connection problems that were causing me to cycle the power on my router a few times a week. I decided to upgrade the firmware to 4.21.1 hoping to resolve this issue. The firmware upgrade completed and all configuration settings were put back as I had before the upgrade.
    Since the update, I cannot connect to the internet through my DSL when connecting through the router. I can connect to the internet when my computer is directly connected to the modem. I called Linksys and I was told to reset the router three times. Had no results.
    Can anyone help me out with this? Or is there a place where I can download the old firmware that I originally had?
    I have a WRT54G ver 1.1 and Bellsouth DSL
    Thanks

    --Update--
    I solved the problem. The Bellsouth DSL modem is in bridge mode after it is either reset (hard button) or configured via the web utility.
    WITHOUT connecting the router to the modem, configure the router to be PPPoE insted of DHCP. If the router is connected to the modem while still in DHCP mode, the modem will assume the router is a computer. This will kick the modem out of bridge mode.
    So the steps to solve the problem are:
    1) Disconnect ethernet between router and modem.
    2) Reset modem / put in bridge mode.
    3) Connect to router via web utility and configure PPPoE settings.
    4) Connect router and DSL modem via ethernet cable.

  • My WRT54G router is slowing down my internet?! Please HELP!!!!

    I have a WRT54G (Version. 6) Wireless-G Broadband Router and I have had it for about a year now. Then one day it just became VERY slow. My internet is supposed to be around an average of 4000kb and now its all the sudden 500kb. So I tried many things I tried to: 1) Hooked my computer straight up to my modem and it was running at 4000kb again. 2) Update my Firmware to the newest version but still didnt work. 3) Reset my router to factory settings then didnt work. I have tried more things but I don't remember right now so if anyone there has an idea or they have the same problem please reply I need help.

    Did you make changes on wireless router and adapter recently? Many external factors can affect the wireless signal strength... Take a look on why my wireless network speed is slow and 4 tips to improve wireless coverage articles, see whether can help you...

  • WRT54GS will not connect to the internet...

    Hello,
    Having some issues with my router.. it's a model WRT54GS with firmware 7.2.. I'm not able to connect to the internet, whether it be wired or wireless. I can bring up the router just fine, but again no connectivity to the internet.
    I tried changing the router local IP to 192.168.2.1 thinking that would fix the conflict.. but nothing seems to be working. I've cloned the MAC address and still nothing. I can connect straight to the modem and access the internet just fine, but when I try and connect through the modem, I can't bring up any web pages..
    please help, I'll be glad to provide any info I can.

    Sorry that last line should read:
    I can connect straight to the modem and access the internet just fine, but when I try and connect to the internet via router -> modem, I can't bring up any web pages..

  • WRT54GS how to get firmware

    Hi WRT54GS V6 - My ISP said i needed to 1st update the firmware before it would be recognized  (V6) - how do i do this if i am unable to connect to internet - because router is not working?  If I access internet with only cable modem - how will router get the firmware update - YES - NEW to this - can you tell?
    PLEASE help - very frustrated.

    Please follow:
    !.Connect directly on modem and download update to a known locaiton you your drive. You may have to unzip if it is compressed. but remember where that file is.
    2.Plug into your router, logon on "admin" is default password.
    3. Select the Administration area, and firmware upgrade.. you will have to browse to the file you downloaded. Make sure to let it finish and do not power off anything during the update process. When finished hold in reset button for 30 seconds, and then remove power to the router for 10 seconds or so.
    4. log back to the router and do your setup.

  • IPhone can join WRT54GS network, but cannot connect to internet

    I've got a WRT54GS v.1.1 router w/latest firmware (4.41.4).  My wired and wireless computers (windows XP) can connect just fine and see the internet.  My iPhone 3GS can join the network, but cannot see the internet.  The phone can join the network, gets a DHCP address/gateway/DNS info just fine.  Other machines on the local network can see the phone and vice-versa.  However, any time the iPhone tries to reach out to the internet, a message pops up saying "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet".
    Again, other machines on my network can connect without issue.  My iPhone has no trouble connecting to other WiFi networks.
    I've tried all different wireless encryption schemes, including no password/encryption, with the same results each time.  I've also tried using a static IP address on my phone.  No luck.  MAC filtering is disabled, as is any other access restrictions.
    Finally, I've reset the phone's network settings, reset the router to its factory defaults, and tried everything else I can think of. 
    I've only seen one similar message one these boards with this problem, but it was never responded to.  Anyone seen this before of have other suggestions?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    David 

    Thanks for your response!
    IP:  192.168.1.100  (DHCP-assigned)

    Gateway: 192.168.1.1
    DNS: 66.218.44.5, 66.218.44.90 (the DNS's of my ISP)
    Router's (local) IP address is  192.168.1.1
    Router's internet-facing address is the one assigned by my ISP via their DHCP
    All looks right to me.

  • WRT54G and Xbox 360 with no internet

    New Xbox 360 hard wired to router WRT54G, router recognize xbox but will not connect to internet. What do i need to change?

    If your router's IP Address is 192.168.2.1...
    Goto the XBox Network Settings and IP Address Settings and select manual IP Settings and assign the following on your Xbox
    IP Address :- 192.168.2.20, Subnet Mask :- 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway :- 192.168.2.1...
    Also you can upgrade the firmware on your router if the connection is slow when you use your XBox...You can download the firmware from here
    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device: -
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.2.1
    Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
    Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
    Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful"  After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
    Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...
    Then, unplug the power cable while holding down the reset button for another 30 Seconds...
    Plug the power cable back in, and keep holding down the reset button for another 30 Seconds...
    Release the reset button...To re-configure your router follow this
    Do the Port Forwarding as mentioned earlier...

  • WRT54G v5- problem updating firmware

    alright, so I've been battling with my router a little while now. I've had it for a few months now, and randomly at about 11:30 a few nights ago, it just stopped connecting. I get Limited or No Connectivity whether I am trying to connected wirelessly or hardwired into the router. The only way I can access the internet is being hardwired into the cable modem (standard comcast motorola).
    I have tried unplugging the router, doing a hard reset by holding down the cisco button, and restarting all the computers that are having a problem connecting. Nothing. It's still a brick. I think it was actually trying to connect to the wrong IP address, because the properties said nothing about 192.168.1.1
    So, I read that there is a manditory firmware upgrade for the WRT54G v5. I went to the download page for the firmware, but it's trying to download a .bin file, rather than a .zip
    WHAT? Is that a mistake? I can't do anything with it. Are there any mirror sites that anyone knows of with the .zip file so I can upgrade my firmware?

    An update...  I couldn't get the TFTP to work.  However, if you hold the reset button for 30 sec and release, and then open a web browser and go to your ip http://192.168.1.1  It will have a page there for you to browse to your file that you want to upgrade with.  I did this, then held reset button for 30 secs again.  It took a little bit (minute maybe) for the device to fully boot up.  Once it did I could get into the device for configs via http.   You'll know when it's done booting because the orange wireless light will come on and the power light will stop blinking.
    Hope this helps...

  • ITunes 10.1.2 upgrade on  Win XP Pro SP3 Kills Internet access

    The latest iTunes 10.1.2 install on my Win XP Pro SP3 system kills my Internet access. Internet status shows that I'm connected but Internet Explorer and Firefox can't connect to the server. Running Win XP Pro SP3 with all MS updates applied on a Dual-Core Intel 6600 chip, 4 gig of memory and a couple of terabytes of hard drive. When I do a restore from my backup hard drive to the prior OS and iTunes version, everything is back to normal. I didn't receive any error notifications both times from the install. I first did the install from the Apple website directly (and lost Internet access), then restored my backup system and downloaded the update separately and then installed and lost Internet access again. Am now back up using iTunes 10.1.1.4. Is this update from Egypt? (supposed to be funny).
    Thanks-
    Richard

    Thanks for the link. I noticed that "Swut" from Orange County, Ca (see the post below) had a reply in the link you gave me referring to "Vipre" , which is an Anti-Virus program that I also use, like "Swut".
    I will investigate this further. In defense of Apple, there is no way that they can test against every bit of software that we run on these PCs. I would hope that if we find out that there is some problem with the Vipre interface, both Apple and the Vipre people will be made aware of the problem.
    Before I try the iTunes 10.2.1 upgrade again, I'll contact Sunbelt Software- the people who make Vipre and see if they have heard of this problem. I'll let all of you know what the results are.
    Thanks- Richard Van Nostrand

    I didn't have to go all the way through with TRG10987s solution. When I got to step 4 I noticed that VIPRE had installed multiple virtual network adapters on to of the network adapters. I uninstalled VIPRE thereby deleting the virtual adapters ran the upgrade, and reinstalled VIPRE. Everything works fine now.

  • Laptop connects to wireless network via a WRT54G but it can't access internet

    I’ve got a WRT54G cabled to my desktop, I set up a WEP-secured wireless network for my laptop, and the laptop connects to the wireless network and receives a strong signal, but it can’t get Internet access. I know the problem is not with the router because the laptop CAN get internet access when it's cabled to the router.  (So the problem isn’t an IP address problem—which I knew because I had to reconfigure the static IP of the laptop to get it to connect to the network in the first place.)  I turned off the Windows firewall, Symantec virus protection, and Internet Explorer’s pop-up blocker on the laptop. The laptop connects perfectly to the wireless network and receives a strong signal, so why can’t it access the internet??
    Linksys tech support couldn’t figure it out, so I really need your help.  Thank you!

    (because I wanted it to have the same static IP address as the router).
    Just wanted to clarify what you meant in this post. If you entered the router's IP address as the static IP for the laptop, you would get the symptoms that you are describing. Try entering a IP that isn't normally used like 192.168.1.142. (That is assuming that your router IP is the default 192.168.1.1.)
    If that isn't the issue, please tell me what ipconfig is returning on both the laptop and the desktop.

  • Odd... Dell Display kills internet in boot camp

    When I hook up my Macbook pro to a dell 2007fp via DVI, in boot camp, the internet seems to get messed up. The computer won't be able to connect to the network, or the network connection stops. If I try to repair the connection, it says that there is limited signal to the router, which is literally 10 feet away. As soon as I disconnect the monitor the connection works perfectly.It doesn't matter if the computer is clamshell or open, the minute i connect the monitor, the internet craps out.
    The monitor has worked fine, with zero problems using Vista 64 bit on a pc, the same OS that the mbp runs. I have no clue what is going on. Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately this didn’t solve my problem. It did improve slightly.
    I stopped by an Apple store today and the MacPro with 30” Cinema display was doing the exact same thing. I don’t remember mine doing this in the past. To make matters even more frustrating, the problem doesn’t exist when I boot to XP. I wonder if some software or firmware updated caused the problem.
