Can't get a wireless signal on my new WRT54G

I just bought and installed my WRT54G. I can get a great connection if I connect my laptop to the modem via Ethernet cable. However, when I try and go wireless I can get either a very low-no signal at all. My Dell Wireless card works fine in my office so I know it isn't that. Help please?

1)hardwire the computer to the router's ethernet port
2)access the router using http://192.168.1.1 ... the default password is admin
3)on the web ui , click on the "wireless" tab and change the following wireless settings
ssid - any unique name
channel - 1 or 11
beacon interval - 50
Fragmentation & RTS threshold - 2304

  • I just got my cable company to switch my wireless router to a wired one considering now I have the wireless airport device (the newest one) but now I can't get a wireless signal. The router works when directlyplugged in,the aiport wireless device is green

    I just got my cable company to switch my wireless router to a wired one considering now I have the wireless airport device (the newest one) but now I can't get a wireless signal. The router works when directlyplugged in,the aiport wireless device is green. I've tried going through my new MacBook Pro settings and it the diagnostics check, it says network changes detected, I tell it that it "yes" does connect to a cable modem, it tells me to restart it, after I do it asks if there are any other devices hooked up ( firewall) and when I say no it tells me that it can't fix the problem.
    Now I know that I probably have a new IP address because of the cable company switching the boxes but it was working fine with the other box, now there isn't a signal to be had on it!
    Please anybody out there that can help!!!??

    Any time you change networking hardware it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle with the new equipment. Check out the following AirPort User Tip. Please post back your results.

  • How can I get my wireless keyboard and my new magic mouse to enter info into a Christmas list app on iphone 3GS? Do I have to move to another room? I have bluetooth on in my iPhone.

    I have wireless keyboard and a new magic mouse. I want to enter data into a Christmas list app on my 3GS iPhone. Too time consuming to just type on iPhone keyboard. How can I get keyboard and mouse to be 'connected' or recognized by my iPhone? I have Bluetooth "on" in my iPhone.

    You cannot connect the mouse.  This is not a feature of iphone
    You can learn about connecting a keyboard in the manual:

  • HT1218 I recently updated from O.S. 10.6 to Mountain Lion and had additional memory installed.  Now I can't get my wireless printer to print wirelessly.  I went to Airport utilities as suggested above, but it says it can't locate any airport base station.

    I just updated from OS 10.6 to Mountain Lion.  My HPC4780 wireless all-in-one will not print wirelessly, even though it indicates it is getting a wireless signal.  I followd the "airport base station firmware updates" suggestions, but my computer can't detect an airport base station, even though I am looking at it, and the light is green like it is supposed to be.  The printer works if I connect it, but won't print wirelessly.  Any ideas?  I am trying to learn Mountain Lion's ins and outs.

  • I get no wireless signal in my home, so need a network extender for the Lumia 2520.  Specs indicate LTE FDD network:Band 20 (800MHz), Band 3 (1800 MHz), Band 7 (2600 MHz). Does Verizon offer a network extender that will work with the Lumia?

    I get no wireless signal inside my home, only outside, so I need a network extender that will work for the Lumia 2520, Specs indicate it uses LTE FDD netork Band 20 (800MHz), Band 3 (1800MHz), Band 7 (2600 MHz).  Does Verizon offer a network extender that will work with the Lumia 2520?

    We want to make sure you get service in your home Astromandata! I can check your area to see if you qualify for the network extender. What's your zip code?

  • I have an Imac in my bedroom and apple tv hooked to my big screen in my living room. When I select mirror Imac on the Imac to view on the big screen in living room, can I get a wireless keyboard and track pad to control Imac from living room?

    I do something like that, and can confirm 20 feet won't be a problem. More than 30 or so might be.

  • HT5628 I've downloaded bootcamp 5 to run windows 7 but I can't get a wireless internet connection. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I've downloade bootcamp 5 to run windows 7 but i can't get the wireless internet to work. It does not seem to recognise it. Without the use of the internet the software that i want to install i.e sage instant accounts will be useless. Can anyone help please? i also have a problem of ejecting the cd disc. i press the normal eject button and nothing happens. The only way i could eject the windows 7 disc was to toggle to the mac side of the computer and it would eject from there. Does anyone know how to do this from the windows side?

    You have not installed the Boot Camp drivers.
    Start up in OS X and download the Windows support software from this site > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1638 Follow the steps of the link except the ones to install Windows.
    Then, start up in Windows and install the Windows support software

    Help! I can't get my wireless keyboard to work...

  • I downloaded the latest upgrade and I still can't get my wireless to connect.  I have restored factory settings.

    I loaded the 8.1.1 upgrade to my iPad 2 and I still can't get the wireless in my home or elsewhere to connect.  I have reset factory settings to no avail.  It doesn't even recognize the network in my house.  Using my Verizon data as the sole source for now, which costs $$$.  The machine has not worked well since 8.0 upgrade.  Any thoughts?

    Try the following:
    1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again
    2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    3. Reset iPad; hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo

  • How can I get my wireless keyboard battery access to open. It's like the bloody thing has seized up and won't open?

    How can I get my wireless keyboard battery access to open. It's like the bloody thing has seized up and won't open? Tried the coin...nope.  Tried a screw driver...nope! Even tried WD-40 - nope! Or does this mean it's now in the boat anchor pile!

    They are designed for coins... is this your first time changing the battery? Make sure you are twisting in the right direction and make sure you are pushing down on it and applying pressure at the same time you turn.

  • I'm using garagband 11 and I can't get a good signal through my Machie Blackbird interface for my guitar or vocal.

    I'm using garageband 11 and I can't get a strong signal form my interface. All the prefences are set correctly. The only way I can get a signal is by cranking the gain on the compressor, but the signal is still low and waveform in barely readable. Any thoughts?

    You may want to have a look in the overclockers forum for help.

  • I've had a network extender for 2 years and since August I can't get a GPS signal

    I have had a network extender for over 2 years and have had no problems with it.   Since August, I have had nothing but trouble.  The GPS signal went out and I went through all of the Verizon troubleshooting tips and nothing worked.  They sent me a new one and it has worked for about 2 weeks however now I have the same exact problem, the GPS is red and I haven't had a GPS signal for 2 weeks now.  What is going on? How is it possible that after over 2 years of having no issues, we can't get a GPS signal?

    I spoke with another Verizon tech rep and he was going to open a network trouble ticket however first he needed to gather some information.  He directed me to this site http://8x8.com/Resources/Tools/VoIPTest.aspx
    to get info on the speak of my computer and IP connection however when I began the test, there was an error and it couldn't measure my VOIP connection.  The Verizon rep said that there isn't software in the network extender and that it's based off the VOIP.  So he suggested I call my internet provider and tell them that I'm trying to use a VOIP and for some reason it's not working.  He suggested I tell them I'm trying to use Vonage and not Verizon though.  Anyway, I'm going to call Comcast tomorrow and provide them the information that I got off the http://8x8.com/Resources/Tools/VoIPTest.aspx site.   Not sure if that will help you but I will keep you posted as to what Comcast tells me.

    You'll need to provide a bit more information, the amplifier only passes video to a connected TV.
