Can't connect to internet through WRT54G

I can connect to the internet through DSL modem but cannot when going through the WRT54G.  All lights on router lit correctly.  Actually set up this router 6 months ago or so and worked both wired and wirelessly for awhile.  Then could only access internet wirelessly with laptop.  Started messing with the router to get it to work wired with desktop but now won't work.  Can access the router set-up page but not sure what to change.  Saw somewhere to change the routers IP address to 192.168.2.1  didn't solve the prblem.  Have tried restoring factory defaults, recommended power on/off sequences (modem, router,pc) and holding reset button for 30 seconds.  Also tried Easy connect tool on the Linksys site.  Icon in lower right of pc screen indicates status as connected but still cannot connect to internet.  Any help is very much appreciated.

I had the very same problem with the same model router. It turned out to be the Security setting in Internet Options. The security setting was on Medium. After changing it to Medium-Low, I could connect to the internet through the router.
If you are not familiar with changing the Security setting, let me know and I will reply with the steps to take.

  • Can't connect to internet through netgear95 router

    Can't connect to the internet through a netgear95 router.  my PC connects to internet ok, none of my apple stuff (iphone/ ipad) will connect though.  Must be something in settings on router.

    Hi Scott,
    Do you have any Wireless devices that connect to the router? I'm assuming that your PC may connect via Ethernet cable?

  • Can't connect to internet through Airport Express anymore

    Suddenly, my PowerBook can't connect to the internet through Airport Express. Monday late afternoon--everything was fine. Put it in sleep, come back a few hours later, can't connect.
    Thing is, Airport/wireless is working. Can stream audio to my home stereo.
    And the DSL/modem are working. If I connect the machine via ethernet directly, I'm online.
    Saw that some other users began having problems with USB/printer connections Monday. Could my problem be related?
    What gives?
    Any ideas?

    Hello mnkyby. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    It sounds like your AirPort Express Base Station (AX) in not getting a proper IP address from your modem.
    Try this ...
    o Connect to the AX's wireless network, and then, run the AirPort Admin Utility.
    o Go to the Internet tab.
    o Note the value for IP address. (Note: Do not list it here on the forum, just note what it is.)
    o Is the IP address what you would expect from your ISP or is it something like: 196.254.x.x?
    If the latter, try the following ...
    Modem/Router Power Recycling - Quick
    o Power-off the DSL/Cable modem, AX, & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the DSL/Cable modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the AX; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)
    If this fails to get the modem to "recognize" the Internet router, then try the "Full" version.
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling - Full
    o Power-off the DSL/Cable modem, AX, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
    o Power-on the DSL/Cable modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
    o Power-on the AX; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)

  • Mac Book pro can't connect to Internet through Apple airport extreme base station

    I had problems connecting to the internet in the past with my macbook pro.  One day it suddenly started working again but then I bought a second apple TV I lost connectivity.  I have tried changing the IP address manually and while it shows me connected to the wifi I am still with out internet.  When I hooked up the new Apple TV that I bought it booted my computer from it's ip address.  The apple TV though wouldn't work and now nor would my computer.  I ended up setting the Apple TV's ip address manually and now it works fine. My computer on the other hand does not no matter if I set it manually or not.  Even if I plug in the ethernet cable from the base station it doesn't work.  It show that it has a self assigned IP address.  After I set it manually it shows that I am connected both via wifi and the ethernet cable but I can't connect to the internet.  If I plug the modem directly into the computer bypassing the base station I get internet and it is using the IP address that worked originally.
    It has something to do with the connection from the base station to my computer but this is odd considering every other device I have: iPhone 4, apple tv, apple tv, apple mini with retina display all work perfectly via wifi (newest apple tv had to be set manually as I stated above but now works fine).  When I check the ip of the base station itself it seems to be different from the ip of the computer when the computer was connected directly to the router.  I don't understand why my computer now can't connect to the internet via the base station whether it be wifi or by ethernet.  Can you please help me trouble shoot this?
    I have an AirPort Extreme base station which allows up to 50 users and a 30 meg connection speed.
    I have a MacBook Pro (17-inch Early 2009), OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

    It has something to do with the connection from the base station to my computer
    I don't think so..
    I just posted a reply which totally vanished.. strange strange website now.
    Please post some screenshots of your AE setup from the airport utility.. I want to see the summary page, then the network and internet tab.
    Please tell us what modem you use.. is it a router??
    If you have satellite or 3G wimax etc service they often are limited to 5 IP addresses... the AE takes one and then 4 more devices can join .. no more.
    You need to also give us the screenshot of the IP you are getting in a computer that works.
    EDIT
    Sorry this is half double post.. the previous page refused to display.. now it has returned..

  • Can't connect to Internet through working WiFi connections

    My system is constantly getting bad IP addresses from wireless base stations. Problem started while I'm traveling. At last location, of my three computers my PC would connect, but the two Macs kept having problems. Both worked at first, but then one or the other would get 169. IP addresses. One would seldom connect after restarting. The other would eventually get a good address.
    I'm now at location number two. My Mac connected once, but now keeps getting bad IP addresses. Two PCs are working here, and so is another Mac. Restarting, running diagnostics, resetting the modem, and trying to renew the DHCP lease are all not working. Very frustrating.
    I launched iChat on both Macs but mine can't see the other Mac. My Mac says I'm connected to the network, but can't surf the internet. Tried to manually enter IP numbers but that didn't work either.

    For clarity, the 169. addy is not bad, it's self assigned, as is usual when it can't find any being handed out.
    Try making a New Location as a test.

  • CAn't connect to Internet Through Time Capsule-Self Assigned IP Adress

    My iBook battery died. After connecting to power source, I can't connect to the internet. I get a message that the iBook is self assigning the IP address. How do I correct this? I've removed the battery & done several restarts with no success.

    Here's 10.4 directions, not to different from 10.5, see if it helps...
    Go to System Preferences
    Click Network
    Highlight AirPort and click Configure...
    Choose “By default, join: Preferred networks”
    Select your access point and Remove your access point with the minus button.
    Launch your keychain access in Utilities and delete your access point keychain entry.
    Reboot
    Go back to the “By default, join:” page and click the plus this time to add your access point. Enter the correct password, save, reboot.

  • Mac connected but PC can't connect to internet through Airport Extreme

    When I was using a dial-up connection everything worked fine on both computers but since I changed to a PPPoE / Ethernet connection my PC using Windows XP can't connect to the internet although is connected to the Airport with excellent signal.
    In System Preferences>Network I have Connect using PPPoE option checked so I can't see my airport in the Airport Admin Utility. Apple Talk is Inactive.
    In System Preferences>Sharing>Internet: Internet sharing is Off and there's a text that it can't be turned on "because there are no ports available over which to share your connection"

    I understand, but for some reason, that I'm trying to
    figure out, when I uncheck the PPPoE option on my
    computer and my base station appears in the Admin
    utility, I loose my internet connection on the
    macintosh although the Network Status says that I'm
    connected to the internet via Airport...
    You will need to configure the Airport to connect via PPPoE.

  • Can't connect to internet through airport extreme but have full signal

    I've seen a lot of posts but I still can't connect wirelessly via airport extreme.
    Using a Powerbook running 10.6.4, I have updated the airport extreme's firmware and have a full signal strength, but I can't connect to the internet.
    I get an error message that it can't find the server.
    I can get online if I connect the internet cable directly to my computer.
    so..
    Airport is working
    Internet is working
    Wireless is not working
    suggestions?

    That's not possible. Do you mean "MacBook"?
    I ... have a full signal strength, but I can't connect to the internet.
    First try resetting your connection settings using the steps listed in this message:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10695921&start=1
    They're not guaranteed to solve the problem, but they'll only take a minute or so to try.
    If that doesn't help, connect to your wireless network, then open the Network panel of System Preferences. Select the AirPort connection item, click on the "Advanced" button, then on the "TCP/IP" tab. What do you see for the three values below "Configure IPv4"? Now click on the "DNS" tab. What do you see for "DNS Servers"?
    Finally, type this URL in the address bar of your browser:
    http://74.125.157.99/
    and press "return". Does that take you to Google? If so, there's something wrong with the way your computer or router is handling DNS lookups.

  • Satellite C655D-S5533 can't connect to internet through ethernet (wireless connection ok)

    I can't get an ethernet connection thru my ISP's (Comcast) internet cable box.  I clicked the LAN icon on control panel but still can't connect.

    First, reboot the Comcast box and then reboot the computer.  If it still doesn't work, look in Device Manager under Network Adapters. If the LAN adapter shown there is Atheros, reinstall using THIS driver.  If it says something else, post back.  I'm assuming you are still using Windows 7 64 bit that came with the machine.

  • Can't connect to internet through router

    I have a WRT54G v6. I can connect to the internet when directly connecting through my cable modem. When using a wired or wireless connection through the router, I can connect to the router, have an IP address and DNS Server, have followed all the troubleshooting steps from linksys and still cannot get online. Have tried using windows xp and max os x. Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance for any assistance!!!

    This worked for me maybe it will for you. Power everything down including your modem and router. Then power up the router, wait 2 minutes, and them power up the modem, wait  2 minutes and laslty power up your computer and try your connection. It's an agaonizingly simple slution to a problem that i worked on for 12 hours straight. Hope it helps.

  • Can't connect to internet through Airport network

    Previously - worked
    Internet: DSL
    Network: via Airport Extreme
    Computers: 3 (G4 Tower, PowerBook G4, Xbox360)
    Setup: I ran the ethernet cable out of the modem into the Aiport Extreme. Then I ran another ethernet cable into a router which then split the signal into two lines -- one going to the tower and one going to the Xbox. The laptop connected wirelessly. This worked using DHCP assigning multiple IP addresses to all on the network and indeed the two computers surfed the net with ease and I had no problems connecting or staying on Xbox Live.
    Currently - doesn't work
    Internet: Cable (Charter)
    Network: same
    Computers: same
    Problem: I recently switched from DSL to Cable internet for faster speed. Here is what i found: When i connect the ethernet cable directly into the tower from the modem i can access the internet. If i connect the ethernet cable directly into the PowerBook G4 i get nothing. If i try to connect the ethernet cable to the Airport from the modem i get nothing as well. At first all i thought i had to do was change the account settings from that of the DSL to that of the Cable internet -- only there are no account settings for the Cable internet. I literally just plugged in the cable and was ready to go. I have tried resetting my airport to get rid of my previous [DSL] settings and redoing the Airport Setup Assistant to no avail.
    G4 Tower, PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    ok so i unplugged my modem for a few minutes and then plugged the ethernet into the airport and turned the modem back on. now i can get internet on both my laptop and my tower. that works, thanks!
    an odd aside tho is that before, when i was connecting through PPPoE, the laptop would automatically connect to my network (regardless of how many networks the airport card was picking up). now that i have the airport set to just connect via ethernet i have to manually log onto my network every time. is there a setting i'm forgetting about that enables automatic log in or is this just the case with connecting via ethernet?
    here is the next problem, though. i bought a wireless adapter for my 360 and it cannot detect my network. it detects two other different networks that are in my complex but not mine. i have no idea if this is an airport issue or a 360 issue as powerbooks just automatically detect an airport base station. i have tried testing it in the same room as the airport with no luck. the only way i have connected to Xbox Live so far was to hard line an ethernet cable to the 360, shut the modem off, turn it back on and connect that way. if anyone knows anything about the 360 or has had similar problems trying to get their 360 up and running wirelessly through an airport please let me know

  • Can't connect to internet through wifi

    We've been having some internet problems recently, where our wifi works great but the dns lookups failed. My dad fixed this on our desktop and a few laptops this morning, but I don't know what to do with my phone. He had to go to work so I'm kind of hoping theres a simple solution to this. I've already tried "forgetting" our networks and putting them on again, but to no avail. Please help if you can. Thanks.

  • After updated OS X 10.9.5 this afternoon, I couldn't connect to Internet through wifi. Please help me!!!

    After I updated osx 10.9.5 I can't connect to internet through wifi. So, what the problem please help me to solve this problem urgent!!!

    I've been having horrible wifi connectivity problems with my mid-2012 MacBook Air for the last several weeks.  I just realized today that the problems started around the time that I upgraded to 10.9.5 on September 17th.
    It's reached the point where I keep Airport Utility up in a corner of my screen so I can see whether I have internet or not before hitting Send or Post.
    After reading Linc Davis' post from September 27th, above, I ran the Wireless Diagnostics when I lost internet.  Internet access came back while the diagnostics were running.  I pressed Continue and lost connection while the second was running.  Based on Airport Utility, I do not have connectivity more than I do.
    Note that Airport Utility usually shows that it can see the router, but there is no Internet access.  Other times it shows that it can not see the router. 
    Wireless Diagnostics suggested that I restart the router (a new Airport Extreme that I installed in August.)  Restarted the router did not solve anything.
    All other devices, wired and wireless, are working fine.  The affected device is the only one running 10.9.5 wirelessly.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • How to Parameter WRT54GS to connect to Internet through Livebox-2 ?

    I intend to connect a network built around the WRT54GS to Internet by passing through a second network who is already connected to Internet through the Orange Livebox-2 (French).
    I have a traditional home network with basic shares on the French Orange Livebox-2 and its WiFi.
    The computers runs XP - Pro .
    My ADSL access is normally through the Livebox-2
    (Range of addresses 192.168.1.xxx) and I run DHCP
    Working Group "WORKGROUP".
    It works without problem (Internet and VoIP telephony) except the Wifi of the Livebox which is known as poor (range and stability).
    I also manages a small "pedagogical workshop" for the school who visit my mill.
    This network is available to my young visitors based on a (tower) server containing the libraries and teaching materials and its printer. It’s XP - Pro machine. and to allow a maximum of two laptops be WiFi connected.
    The second network is built around the Linksys router (wich integrates no modem, simply a router).
    The WRT54GS router (rev 6) whose firmware is original Linksys up to date.
    I am setting the two Wi-Fi (Livebox 6 Cnl) and Cnl 4 on WRT54GS and different keys (this is manageable without difficulty).
    It has its server DHCP and Wi-Fi to connect their machine.
    What about the name of this second network group ? Currently “WORKGROUP” as well.
    I am setting a range different on the router WRT54GS (192.168.2.xxx) and enabled the DHCP.
    This "educational" network works perfectly when alone and separated from the "home" network and doesn’t get connected to Internet…
    I want to connect this router Linksys WRT54GS rev6 cascading through the Livebox-2.
    Share Internet via the Livebox-2 access.
    What about functionality?
    What is the connection to setup ?
    Should it be simple physical connection with a cable between the yellow ethernet port "2" of the Liveboxbox and the "Internet" connector of the Linksys router?
    Is this a good track to explore? I have searched extensively on the Internet but found proposals who are very old and refer to old Livebox... I did test and is not satisfactory...
    I have described as well as possible the needs and the config!
    It is the experts to speak now !
    I am available for further information.
    HOW CAN I ACHIEVE THE INTER CONNECTIVITY?

    From what I understand, you want to extend your internet connection - from the Orange Livebox-2  to your WRT54GS. You can actually do this by cascading the linksys router to your livebox. There are tow ways in cascading routers: LAN-LAN and LAN-WAN. For more information about cascading routers, you may refer to this link: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=785463d9ecaf4cac84aed245b08d615f_3733.xml&pid=104&....

  • TS1253 I am connected to internet through  modem. How can I use Time Capsule as a wreless harddrive and connection to USB printer

    Can I use a Time Capsule as a part of my network> I am connected to internet through modem and want to use Time capsule as  a wireless harddrive and wireless connection to usb printer. How can I do that? Please help

    This type of setup is not officially supported by Apple.
    It might be possible to configure the Time Capsule this way, but please take a minute to consider a few things that you may not have thought about, as this is...frankly....the worst possible way that you could configure the Time Capsule.
    Wireless backups will take twice as long as normal wireless.  Why? The signal must make a "double hop".
    Hop "one" would be from your Mac to the wireless router, then the signal must make hop "two" to get back to the Time Capsule.
    In addition to doubling the time for backups to occur, this doubles the chances for an error to occur during a backup.
    The Ethernet ports are not enabled at all on the Time Capsule when it is configured this way, so backup over much faster Ethernet is not possible.
    The USB port is enabled, so assuming that the printer is compatible, it could be configured to connect that way. Keep in mind that only printing is supported. If you have an All-in-One device, advanced functions like scan, copy, maintenenance will not be supported.
    So, do you really want to try this?  There are no guarantees here that things will work at all.
