BEFW11S4 WLan light is off

My laptop can no longer connect to my BEFW11S4 v2 router. The "WLAN Link" light is off. I have the latest firmware, 1.45.10, reflashed it twice and tried an older version of firmware from the Linksys ftp site without success, then reloaded 1.45.10. The router has wireless "enabled" and SSID broadcast "enabled". I also did a "one minute reset" on the back of the router but had no success in getting WLAN to light up.
My "wired" ports on the router are having no problems connecting to the Internet. All other lights are functioning normally. The "wireless" had been working for about two years.
Any suggestions on what else I can try...?

Ok. so the laptop and your PSP cannot detect the router? it seems that your are familiar going to the setup page of the router. so access the setup page again, then go to the wireless tab. make sure that "wireless ssid broadcast" is set to "enabled", and you may also want to try changing channels on the router. after changing channels, powercycle the router (turning it ON and OFF), if same problem, reply to this message.

Router WRT54GS wlan light turns off randomly

I have a WRT54GS where the wlan light turns off randomly and I cannot connect to it. If I power cycle it everything works again until the light turns off. I have checked the firmware version and it is running 7.50.6 and on the download website the highest version they have available for it is 7.2.06.
I also notice that when I connect to the router wired and go into the web interface at first the web pages paing like they should but after a few minutes they start to paint slower and slower until they finally just timeout and fail to paint.
Any help and suggestions would be appreciated.

Regarding the Firmware Version : Your Hardware is v7 and you already have the latest firmware Ver 7.50.6, you checked the Firmware for the hardware v7.2, firmware version 7.2.06...Both these Firmware's are totally different do not use the v7.2 firmware version 7.2.06...
You should try to hard reset your router for 30 seconds and then re-configure it...
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

No WLAN light

Hi all, I have a WRT54G Version 2 router and after turning the power off to do some electrical work around home yesterday, the WLAN light is now not coming on. I have searched these forums and tried all the thing suggested included resetting the router by pressing reset button for 30 sec then turning power off for 30 sec. I have tried going to the 192.168.1.1 web address but it won't open the page. Every time I try and ping it says that it is an unknown host.
I have a network setup between 2 PCs and 2 Macs but haven't had any trouble until now.
Is anyone able to help please?
Solved!

After upgrading to Mac OS 10.6.8, sleep indicator light remains off when I start my 15" MB Pro, but the computer works, and when I put it to sleep, the light flashes as normally. Any suggestions?

Hi j,
An SMC Reset can fix some SIL issues. If everything is working fine . . . ? Anyway, it shouldn't hurt anything to try it if you want: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

Macbook pro screen and keyboard light turns off

I have to turn it left or right to try and get it back on.....same thing if i close my computer and reopen it again it wont wake up from sleep mode.
anyone else having a similer issue? is this software related?

That seems like a loose or failing cable.
You could try a SMC reset: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964 to elimate the controller.
Genius reservation http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
check warranty https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
You could try running the Apple HArdware Test, not always definitive however. If it shows an error code report back.

Claire, please post your machine specs as requested. There are some variants of the MBP with specific hardware issues. Example: the older "silver key" MBPs with 2.2Ghz and faster processors can have a defective video chipset that produces a black screen or distorted video. That problem is covered under an Apple program that will fix this at no cost to you if you computer is that model.
Do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click the "More Info..." button. That launches System Profiler for you. The first screen looks like this:
The second line, "Model Identifier" (or "Machine Model" if you are running OS10.4) precisely identifies your MBP variant. Post that, and include it in your equipment info in your profile for future posts. That means people don't have to ask, and you get faster help that is targeted to your specific model. Saves everybody a bunch of keystrokes and you get better advice.

TS3092 My Apple bluetooth wireless keyboard caps lock keeps changing so that sometimes the caps are on when the lights on and sometimes the caps are on when the light is off. How do I control this?

My caps lock keeps changing. That is, sometimes the caps are locked and the light is on the key and sometimes the caps are on when the light is off. It changes without my knowing it. Also when I hold the shift key down I hear a double click noise which changes the keys in some way. How do I get it to not change?

Try resetting SMC and NVRAP and then reboot.

Try booting the Recovery Partition. Power off, boot and then hold down the Command and R keys. Is the screen still black? If so it is not a software problem so take it in for diagnosis and repairs. Make a Genius Bar reservation http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ or find an Apple Authorized Service Provider https://locate.apple.com/country .
If you are running Mavericks try upgrading to 10.9.2. It has a fix for black screen problems.

No WLAN light, computer can't find router.

NO WLAN light on the WRT54G router. Error message when run CD "can't find router". Somehting I can fix or shoud I take it back? Frustrated

First connect you router with a cable to a PC and open your DOS prompt. (start>run type in cmd and hit enter) From the prompt type in ipconfig /all and look and see if it finds a default gateway with a IP address. It should be by default 192.168.1.1 but may be changed. If you do have a default gateway then type in ping 192.168.1.1 (what ever the gateway is) and hit enter. Do you get 0% loss? If this does not show anything try ruling out the network card by typing in ping 127.0.0.1 and hitting enter. That is a internal loop back which tests the network card. If you get any loss then replace the network card and try again. If you get 0% loss then it is good and try swapping cables and connecting to the router again. If you still can not see the router then it is defective.

WLAN light not lit

I just got my router yesturday and I still can't get my router to connect to the internet probably because the WLAN light is not lit. What should I do to make it light up? Internet connection is working fine and all the cords are connected but the router is still not able to connect to the internet. What am i doing wrong?
Message Edited by metroidpit on 10-10-2007 03:27 PM

Connect one compter directly to router ,check is it going online.
If so then open routers set up page using http://192.168.1.1 ,you will get username & password screen ,leave username blank & default password is admin.
Click on "wireless settings" tab ,check that SSID broadcast is enabled or not.By defult it should be marked enabled.
If computer is not online ,then check the Ip address you are getting & try to configure the router.
You can also try to reset the router for 20-30 seconds .After that check you are getting WLAN light or not .

WRT1900AC 5 GHz WiFi LED lights turns off after few days

This is a weird issue. After a few days of flawless working, suddenly the 5 GHz signal LED lights on the router (WRT1900AC) goes off. Clients on 5 GHz are connected fine and everything on router page looks normal. Turning off all activity lights from web interface and turning it back on doesn't restore the 5 GHz signal LED.
Last time it happened - I left the router to run to see how it behaves. It started dropping internet connection speeds to bare minimum after a day. It appeared like throttling and after a while all clients were not able to access router admin page. Then forced a power reset that brought back everything to normal. Now it's gone again after a few days of continuous run. Looks like a pattern that I cannot interpret.
Anything specific that can cause this issue?
Note: Running the latest version of firmware.

Good to hear. I'd go with Linksys. Even though I maybe a "refurb", it's probably been thru testing and should work well. Nothing wrong in getting one from Linksys. At least you'll have a warranty with Linksys after you get the one from Linksys and have a case #.
Let us know how the RMA one works out.
Cstmkr wrote:
I spoke to Linksys support. After reconfiguring the router and verifying settings again, 30 minutes later the 2.4 light turned off, even though I had a connection. I called them back as instructed, as they suggested an RMA through Linksys, not Amazon. The only downside to that is that I have to pay for shipping the defective router back to Linksys.
I feel a little more comfortable getting my replacement router directly from Linksys. I will update this post in about a week.

Help: macbook didn't charge, LED light is off!!!

My model is 2008 late 2.4GHz macbook and suddenly the magsafe LED light is off and can't charge the macbook. I took it to apple store, and after check they said this laptop needed to go further detection, which will cost at least $280 since i'm just out of my one-year warranty.
I found a similar problem post below without any clear resolution, and after reading it I found lots of these models had the similar problem, so i believe it is definitely the common problem for the 2008 late aluminum macbook series and the logic board might be broken. Does anybody else here have the same problem? We should unite and ask Apple to replace these defected laptop for us for free!!!
The former post is here:

First try an SMC reset:

Do you have (or can you borrow) a spare MagSafe you can try charging with (any MagSafe will do). If a different MagSafe successfully charges your MacBook, then you need to buy a new MagSafe for your machine, as yours is toast.
If a different MagSafe doesn't work, either, then the problem is likely hardware and you don't have much choice except to have Apple or another service center work on it. You can search for an authorized service provider here:

Often the non-Apple Store providers will work a little cheaper. Good luck!

My status indicator light is off when my MBP is running. It just started doing this.

The light is off when the computer is awake and then it does the normal blinking thing when the computer goes to sleep. This just started recently. How do I track down what to do to fix this?

I got the same problem? I used MBP 2011 with OSX 10.6.8. I noticed that problem occured after i tried to update itune 10.5.1 two days ago.
But now i m not sure this will be an incorrect behavior cause after searching in this topic ,i found that someone said this is a normal situation. "This status indicator light should be off when the machine is running."
IS THAT TRUE ???
So please help us.
Thanks in advance.
