Can't access router configuration

I have a wireless router WRT54GC. It worked fine until I got a new linker. Now I can neither connect wirelessly from my laptop (although the laptop says the connection is fine). Nor can I access the router configuration; the URL for the configuration program has changed since the new linker was installed, and I can ping it successfully, but via browser does not connect. Hard to do much without getting to the router configuration.

When you are trying to setup page of your Router are you getting any kind of error message?
Try to Disable the Firewall and Antivirus on your Router and then check if you are able to access the setup page of your Router, If still not then you can Hardwired a different computer to the router and then try to login to the setup page of your router, if still doesn't work then you can unplug the power from the router, wait for 30sec and then replug the power to the linksys router and then check if you are able to access the setup page of your router.
If still you are unable to access the setup page of your Router then you can 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...

Can't Access Router Settings via 192.168.2.1

I have recently changed modem/routers as my connection speed was increased recently and the old modem wasn't up to the task... The previous modem/router was preconfigured and I did nothing to it, however the new one requires settings be fixed by accessing it via a browser at 192.168.2.1
When the technician came to check my line and set up the new modem, we encountered a strange situation. Despite being connected by Ethernet cable, my machine could not access the IP address reserved for the router.
The reply is: "Safari can’t connect to the server.
Safari can’t open the page “http://192.168.2.1/” because Safari can’t connect to the server “192.168.2.1”."
We tried Firefox and the same happened.
I have deactivated my firewall, rebooted, changed cables, restarted the router, got Safari to pretend to be Explorer, got the neighbor's dog to bark at it, everything except make a blood pact with the devil, and the two browsers on my machine think that 192.168.2.1 is an external address- which it isn't, and of course fails to connect.
The technician used his laptop to configure the thing, so I can access the internet (obviously) but I must find out why I can't access the router/modem's settings, if only to find some logical reason for this illogical behavior.
I've tried looking this issue up, and I get lots of bad wiring, wireless connection, windows proprietary shenanigans, but none that explain my situation.
I'd appreciate it if someone could help me make sense of this.
My setup:
Computer Model Name: Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics)
Model Identifier: PowerMac3,1
Processor Name: PowerPC G4 (3.3)
Processor Speed: 1.35 GHz
Number Of CPUs: 1
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
L3 Cache (per CPU): 2 MB
Memory: 832 MB
Bus Speed: 100 MHz

Sales Order Number: M7827LL/A
Router: "2-Wire Gateway"

Your advice did the job quite nicely and it seems this is the "natural way of things," but I was totally unaware of it since my previous modems were preconfigured and I never had to muck about with subnets and such things.
What irks me is that this is basic, bare bones information that the Tech support people should have given me right off the bat. Why do they assume I have all the right numbers input into the Ethernet or PPPoE settings? They seemed totally perplexed that I couldn't connect, and frankly so was I- since my old Mac, as decrepit as it is, is still able to kick it with the modern way of things better than most computers I work with.
If they had asked me if I had set the right IP's in the right slots, it could have been fixed in 2 minutes.
Thank you very much for solving my problem, it saves me a lot of stress and confusion.

Can't access router until it connects

I have a iMac G5 1.9 w/ 10.4.6 that is connected via ethernet to a D-Link713P that in turn has a 56K modem connected to it's serial port for dial-up internet.
What I can't figure out is when the dial-up modem cannot connect the iMac cannot access the configuration page of the router at 192.168.0.1, so i can't change the dialup number, unless I fire up my PC.
The iMac is configured for DHCP, but it gets an IP lease even if the router can't connect to the internet. I can ping the router from terminal just fine.
It's amost like Safari (or Camino) will NOT connect to anything unless the internet is active.
My old G4 quicksilver running 10.3.9 can see it just fine too but it has issues and isn't very stable.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

so nobody has any suggestions?
Seems like since the Airport base stations are similar, some have modems built-in and browser based admin interfaces, either it would have come up before or there would be a setting I have wrong?

I can't access router address. "404 not found"

With my Linksys cable modem and wireless router hooked up and running properly, I can't access the router address. I get "File 404 not found" and "The requested URL was not found on this server. " It is the same address as in the Network Preferences window. The wireless router works great and all computers in the network have fast internet access but my boys want to "tweak" the port settings on the router and can't get to them. I've tried resetting the router every way possible but to no avail so I'm wondering if I don't have something

Okay, sometimes routers go weird...so, unplug the router for at least a minute, then plug it back in. When it finishes the startup sequence, try logging in again.
If you ever do get in, there is a firmware update available for your router. The firmware might be corrupted (happens a lot).

Can not access router page for WRT54GS

I can not tell what version my router is because it does not say on the bottom. everything is connected properly. coaxial is inserted into the modem, and when i connected the ethernet cable from the modem to my computer i get internet. Fine..dandy. now when i install that same wire to the INTERNET port on the router, and HARDWIRE to ANY of the ports to the router it works...cool! NOW when i try to access 192.168.1.1 NOTHING. it times out. so my ipaddress before and after holding the reset power for 30 seconds, and after power cycling (power down computer, than power down router, than power modem....than power up modem, wait till all lights come on...turn on router..all lights are on, and flashing(Internet, 1, and Power) EXCEPT the DMZ and WLAN lights on the router are off my ipaddress is 68.196.15.56, and my default gateway is 68.196.0.1. When i try to connect to 68.196.0.1 which is the default gateway i still get nothing. my cable modem is a scientific atlanta POS cisco product. I even double, and triple checked my tcp/ip connection under the general tab, and set them both to "obtain an ip address automatically", and the "obtain DNS server address automatically". Was so even crazy to empty internet cache, cookies, and temp files. I use both IE and Mozilla with ALL firewall (McAfee HIPS, and the antivirus turned off). I'm at a lost...if anyone has anything or any ideas, i downloaded the software for the router, and when i go to install it i get this error "Please check the tutorial to set your computer to DHCP". no clue guys i'm a pretty pathetic tech guy if you ask me. so i leave it to ya'll

ensure that you have the following connections done
1)connect the modem to the router's internet port
2)connect the computer to the router's port#1
3)there should not be any usb cable connected between the modem and the computer
if all of the above is fine
1)make sure that the computer gets an ip add of 192.168.1.x and the default gateway is 192.168.1.1
2)if yes , access the router using http://192.168.1.1 . the default password is admin

Can't Access Router's Web-Based Setup Page

I have tried this: http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=3676
Entering in the default IP and my actual IP address does not work, I'm trying to find out what my security key is.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

When you Hardwired your computer to the Router, on your computer click on Start - Run - CMD and click ok, now in the Command Prompt window type "ipconfig" and hit enter.. Note down the Default Gateway IP address.
Open IE on your Computer and in the address bar type http://default gateway ip and hit enter,when prompted for the Username and Password, Leave the Username blank and type "admin" as a password and click Ok. (If you have changed the Router password, then you need to use that password to login to the Setup page of your Router).
Once you login to the Router setup page, click on the Wireless tab and then click on the sub tab "Wireless Security" and in the window you will find out your security key.

Unable to Access Router Admin Page

So I have a weird situation where my router is working fine to allow me access to the internet, yet I am unable to access the router administration page, 192.168.1.1 This occurred after the router froze up tuesday. I reset the router to factory defaults and have since been able to get online, but not access admin page. Router is a Linksys WRT-54GS V 7
Modem is motorolla SB1505
ISP is earthlink, but in NYC so its actually off the Road Runner network. Cable connection obviously. - I attempted to access 192.168.1.1 with both Mozilla Firefox and IE 8. FIrefox gives an "Unable to connect" error message. IE 8 redirects me to search engine results (yahoo in this case).
-Ipconfig confirms default gateway and DHCP server is 192.168.1.1, subnet mask 255.255.255.0
- I am able to ping the router with <1ms times.
- I have tried resetting router to defaults again, but same issue occurs.
- I am able to get online and access web pages, etc.
- Tried resetting up the router using the Linksys setup program, but it error every time saying "please connect router for broadband"
- Router worked fine with me able to access admin page until it froze up yesterday.
- Wireless works fine. Though the network is unsecure atm, since I can't access router admin.
- I've also tried disconnecting all other devices from the router except my computer and modem. Still wont let me access router. System is running windows 7 PRO, fully updated. However, I can't access the router either on 2 other computers at home which run windows XP PRO SP3. System Specs CPU: Intel i5 running at stock speeds
Mobo: Gigabyte P55-UD4P

I am once again unable to access the on-line Router admin page. When I use the EasyLink Advisor and click ADVANCED settings it pulls up the browser but goes nowhere. If I type in the address directly it does the same thing. The address I'm typing is correct. I know because if I unplug the router for a minute, I can get on using the EasyLink or entering the address directly into the browser. Then I sign in and can access the pages.
Why do I have to keep resetting the router to access the router admin pages? It doesnt matter about virus protection, firewall, what version of Windows I'm using, what browser I'm using...the only thing that matters is resetting the router.
And now I have a new problem. When I attempt to go online with my new netbook, it causes my wired-to-the-router desktop to loose the connection, even though I reset the router and "added it as a new device".
I was using Homegroup to access the netbook the first day I got it. Now I cannot access the netbook or the network from the netbook, without resetting the stupid router every single time. I am not using mac address filtering and have the router set to allow 9.
Getting fed up with this router and I never get an answer from Linksys as to why I can never access the router admin pages without resetting the stupid router.
I can get the netbook on other people's wireless networks (using their password) but cannot get onto my OWN using my password.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'll try anything before yanking this thing out and buying a different brand of router. Yeah I'm mad, sorry.
Wired desktop Windows 7 Home Premium 64/IE8/using Windows firewall and MS Security Essentials. Netbook is W7 Starter, Norton Internet Security 2010. But none of this matters. Because I had the same problem with this router using Vista64, IE7, no firewall, no a/v, IE32 & 64 bit...all those variables yet the only thing that works is resetting the router.
SO WHAT DOES MATTER? Help me before I trash this thing please.

WRT54G2 - can no longer access router webpage after changing setting

hello i've started gaming again so i ended up configuring a static IP using the network and sharing centre in the control panel and i'm online with the fixed IP, and i had some ports forwarded in my router web page and everything has been working great the past 2 days. however, earlier this morning i could not join any games all of a sudden even tho i played 1 when i just got up, so i went to my router home page and changed a setting, i'll link a screen shot, i'm pretty sure i just changed the local IP address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.10 (which is what i set it as 2 days ago in the control panel network tcp ip4 thing) it's possible i modified somethin in the dchp server section but i was nearly convinced that was disabled anyways. http://screenshots.portforward.com/routers/Linksys/WRT54G2/Basic_Setup.htm is the link if it helps
anyways like the thread title says, i can no longer access the router web page which was 192.168.1.1, instead all i see is a sickening image about something called internet information services!? talk about a weird thing to see when i expected to see my router web page. but it's related to microsoft so it's not malacious at least. any ideas on how i fked up so bad and how to fix it, so i can see the router web page again, and edit the settings back to the way it was this morning

I can't access either and c ant get a connection plugging in my laptop I got a new modem and I'm trying to configure my modem to my wrt54g2 and lost
Hi randallel, you may have to do a hard reset before reconfiguring your router with the new modem. To do the proper reset, please press down the reset button for 30 seconds while the power is on. Release the button and unplug the device. Plug it back in and reinstall the settings based on the type of Internet connection that you have. Hope this helps.

Can't access my SPA2102 when connected to my BEFSR41 router

Hi All,
I have a Linksys EtherFast Cable/DSL router #BEFSR41 to which I have two computers, one printer, and one Linksys PAP2T-NA connected. I purchased a SPA2102-NA because I need two additional phone lines, but I had no more router ports. I was told that the SPA2102 could be connected to the router and my PAP2T could then connect to the LAN port of the SPA2102. Well I tried connecting the SPA2102 to my router and then connecting my PAP2T to it, but I am not able to access the configuration/setup menu for the SPA2102. How can I configure this SPA2102 when I can't even get to the setup menu?
Please help, I have spent the entire day searching the Linksys knowledgebase, etc. and I can't figure out what I need to do to access this unit. By the way, when I go into the router configuration menu and list the DHCP Active IP Table, the first item is SipuraSPA with an IP address of 192.168.1.100 (my PAP2T is 192.168.1.104). I have tried accessing the SPA2102 by typing 192.168.1.100 but I just get a browser error "Page not found". So the SPA2102 is showing up as connected to my router, but I have no way to connect to it because it has been given a dynamic IP address by the router. How can I solve this problem?
TIA

Thanks HW for your reply. After further consideration, I've decided that my best solution is to add an 8-port switch to increase my network capacity and therefore I can replace the SPA2102 with a simpler PAP2T, giving me two PAP2T's. I'm afraid I was looking at the SPA2102 as a stop-gap measure in providing an additional LAN port, but that would leave me without any spare LAN ports for the future. In the end, the small cost of an 8-port switch will give me future capacity and allow me to use the less costly PAP2T while gaining what I needed in the first place. Sorry for taking up your time.
Thanks.

Can't get to router configuration Web page

For some reason, I can't bring up the router configuration page (192.168.1.1). It's always worked in the past. But today for some reason, when I type in the URL, it hangs and hangs and hangs... and then just gives me the "Can't access" error message!
The funny thing is -- the router is working just fine. I can browse, do E-mail, download files, everything. Wired or wireless. I just can't get to the router configuration!
I've rebooted the router several times. What would cause this inability to directly access the router's setup page?

The main causes for this are:
1) browser incompatibility: Try a different browser. Internet Explorer usually works.
2) JavaScript must be turned on.
3) Some firewalls will block this. To test this, temporarily turn off your firewall. If this corrects the problem, then turn your firewall back on, then open a hole in the firewall, to your router.
4) Corrupted router firmware. Since the rest of your router is working, this is probably not the cause. However, if no other cause is found, you may need to reflash your firmware.
5) If your router is the WTR54GS (note: NOT the WRT54GS) then your default address is 192.168.16.1
Also, go to "Command Prompt" and type in "ipconfig" (no quotes), then hit the "Enter" key. The "Default Gateway" is your router's address.

Can't access three routers through 192.168.1.1, Not address of router. HELP?

Long story here, and I am baffled...
My parents were initially connected to a broadband connection through a wired BEFSX41 router. After moving the computers to another room had major connectivity issues. Tried to access router through 192.168.1.1 and could not. Ran ipconfig and found address to be 76.180.104.1. Tried reset, power cycles, release and renew, could not get it to go back to 192.168.1.1. Brought a WRT54G I had over, had normal results for a brief period(10 seconds tops) then again, same ip address and connectivity issues. After this I brought both routers home, connected them to my laptop, but not my network, inspected the configurations and updated firmware, with no issues. So to narrow down issues I brought the WRT54G to my sisters house. She runs a WRT160N. Before changing anything I accessed 160N through webpage, checked settings and verified ip through ipconfig to be 192.168.1.1. All ok. Replaced her 160N with 54G and had wrong ip address again, also 76.180.104.1, so I decided router was somehow damaged/corrupted. This is where this story turns really crappy for me. When I reconnected the 160N, the ip address was 192.168.1.1 for 15 seconds, then in ipconfig two ip addresses were shown suddenly. They were 76.180.96.1 and 192.168.1.1. Ran ipconfig again and got only 76.180.96.1, and now I can no longer access router.
My sister talked to a knowledgeable guy she knows before I hooked it to her computer and he surmised a Google redirect virus which I did sign on to. But now it seems the 54G router has transferred this virus/issue to my sisters computer, which then uploaded it to her 160N. Judging by the time delay when initially connecting 54G, I think maybe this virus is somehow corrupting routers? Does this sound possible to anyone? And if so, what are my options to save the routers, and not have to re-image computer drives? Anyone with any knowledge, please help, cause the idea of having to re-image three computers is killing me. Also I did not leave any of the routers with the original password. Thank you in advance for your help.

Good. The symptoms you saw (computer gets public IP address) is most commonly because you connect one of the LAN ports of the router to your modem. That way the computer can talk directly to the modem and gets a public IP address.
Sometimes this can happen if the router crashes and won't boot up (often power light is blinking). In that case, the switch in the router won't separate the internet port from the LAN port again giving computers direct access to the modem.

Reconfigured Router: Can't Access Settings

While trying to do some port-forwarding I reconfigured the IP address of the router. This doesn't seem to be any better and now I want to set it back to it's default (192.168.1.1.) because of the following issues:
1) Router is now named Gateway (before it was the model number WRT160N)
2) I can't access the Secure the Wireless Network option to reconfigure - I get a pop-up window that states: ERROR - Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
3) Can;t access Advanced Settings from the router drop down menu.
4) All connected devices all have the same static IP...my error?
Any ideas?
Thanks

As you have already changed the settings on your Router, and now you are unable to make any changes on your Router, then i think you need to reset your Router and Re-Configure all the settings back on your Router again.
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...
Once you re-configure all the settings on your Router, Follow the steps bellow to configure the wireless settings on your Router.
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...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Wide-40MHz and change the Wide channel to 9 and Standard Channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on save settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select AES...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone.
NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 50 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2307 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

How to access to configuration page of the router through the windows phone 7 ?

Hi all
I'd like to know if there's a way to access to configuration page of the router through my windows phone 7.
I usually access the router by laptop as following: "192.168.1.1". but sometimes when I'm on my phone I need to reboot the router through my phone other then the laptop which is not near me...
I looked up for applications that should do the work, but unfortunately I got no positive result, so I'm reaching out to this very forum in order to find help and tricks so that I can figure it out
thank you in advance

Hi Happydz,
For help using Windows Phone please post in the Windows Phone forums on
http://answers.microsoft.com .
The MSDN Windows Phone Development forums are for developers to discuss writing their own Windows Phone apps.
That said, I'd expect you could connect to 192.168.1.1 from the phone's browser the same way you would from the laptop's browser.
