Can't get Internet to Linksys WRT54G using ARRIS TM502 modem (Cable ISP)

I just switched from DSL to Cable and now i can't get internet to the Linksys router. I can connect to it from a wireless laptop but just not get on the internet I've read other posts about doing the "clone mac" address and doing the power cycle but still cannot get the Linksys to respond. I enabled the WRT54G to clone the mac address and have spent about 10 hours in two days trying to get this to work and looking online, etc.... Any information at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, leo

After talking to Comcast again and getting another support person who didn't seem to know much, I decided to take matters in my own hands.  I connected new Linksys wrt160n to Arris tm502g, but left router power off.  I then did reset button on Arris modem for 10+ seconds and let it reset.  I powered up router and then powered up PC that I had plugged in port1.  When I went to status on router I finally had gotten IP addresses from Comcast.  I then plugged my switch into port 4 and checked other devices in the house and they were ok.
Hard to believe that no one from Comcast or Linksys seemed to have a clue on what to do when I talked to them.
Thanks for your help.  Hopefully someone else will find this if they need it.

  • Can't get internet access with WRT54G router

    I recently purchased a used WRT54G. I replaced my old wired linksys router with it and my hosts are able to get dhcp addresses from the router, but they cannot access the Internet. I have tried to use dchp release and renew buttons under the status tab in the router's web-based gui to get a public IP address, but can't get one. I have attempted to reset the router to its factory settings, but I still can't get the public IP. I have no problem getting an IP and Internet access with my old router and the WRT54G works if I disable its dchp and daisy chain it to the old one. Maybe I need to do something else for a complete reset of the router. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jack

    the router that you just purchased was maybe configured for a different network before that's why it did not work initially. after making the router back to its' factory defaults, you should reconfigure or set-up the router.. If you have CABLE ISP, enable ''mac address clone'' on the router's set-up page under the set-up tab. then check if you can get a public ip address after that.

  • Problem Connecting Linksys WRT54G to Arris TM402P/100 Cable Modem

    The Problem
    Cannot get an internet connection attempting to install a Linksys WRT54G router between an Arris TM402P/100 cable modem and the local network.
    Prior Configuration
    Previously had DSL, with the Linksys WRT54G wireless router between the DSL modem and the local network, which worked perfectly.
    New Configuration
    This friend recently changed his broadband from DSL to Comcast cable, and he also has phone and television service over the same connection.  The installation tech connected the cable modem directly to a desktop computer and left the Linksys router out.
    The direct connection between the cable modem and the computer works fine, but he and his wife each have laptops and would like to us the Linksys router to connect wirelessly.
    This is the TCP/IP configuration of the FAMILY workstation connected to Comcast

    I cannot find a configuration on the Linksys WRT54G that will allow me to connect to the internet through the Arris TM402P/110 modem.  Have tried (1) setting the Linksys to use a dynamic WAN address, (2) setting the Linksys to static IP 67.185.155.0 with TCP/IP settings taken from the above configuration, (3) cloning the MAC address of the desktop computer's NIC and trying both (1) and (2) again.
    The error message says that the network cable is not connected.  Is it possible that the connection between the router and cable modem requires a cross-over cable?
    Any suggestions?

    on the router's ui... keep the internet type to dhcp....clone the mac address and then do a power cycle...ensure that the modem is completely powered off during the power cycle...if you have a battery back - up , remove the battery...after a minute , put back the battery and then plug in the power cable in the modem...   
    let me know if this helps you.... 

  • Can't get internet to work w/windows: DSL- Graphite

    I am trying to get this home network to function, here is the problem.
    The home network consists of the following:
    DSL
    Airport Graphite
    Ibook G4
    Win 2K PC
    The G4 works fine, but i can't get internet on the Win2K machine. It even gets as far as having an IP assigned using DHCP, but then no internet.
    Perhaps because the default gateway is missing?
    I am able to connect to the base station it seems. The wireless connection comes up and shows that it is connected.
    Thanks,
    Nick

    looks I'm having same problem
    my Ibook G3 and ABS graphite working as perfect team, any way I set the DHCP in my network. BTW, here is it:
    - DSL router (hired from ISP), web GUI, bad technical help; set with 192.168.1.1 private IP@, no DHCP
    - ABS fw 3.84, manually set as 192.168.1.3, internally DHCPing addresses like 10.1.1.x with NAT
    - iBook G3 700 with X 10.3.3 and airport card
    - company laptop running W2K SP4 with D-Link DWL-G122 wireless adapter, always connecting to the network but unable to browse any web page
    everything works fine (I'm writing this message wirelessly from iBook), looks there's no way PC can get an IP@, the wifi adapter can't reach DHCP server (as a result of a "ipconfig /renew [adapter name]"; it always gets automatically an IP@ like 169.x.x.x because no DHCP server is available.
    I tried also the ABS to distribute IP@s in 192.168.1.x format (without NAT) but no change. I tried to work with ABS as simple bridge to router working as DHCP server, but PC cannot pass thru ABS... can connect only using ethernet cable to router directly
    any suggestion GREATLY appreciated, since I'm working from home and I need to connect from 9 to 6 with PC!!!
    thanks
    Andrea (Mac newbie)
    PS: ABS is configured on those two MAC@s only, I have also a PIII desktop running Mandrake Live, but by now will use the D-Link adapter on it

  • I HAVE AN IPAD 2 WITH WIFI ONLY, CAN I GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM ANY SMARTPHONE, OR DO I NEED A SPECIFIC PHONE FOR THIS?

    i ave an ipad 2 with wifi only, can i get internet access from any cell phone, or do i need a specific phone or type of phone

    I received an iPad 2 for Christmas (the 1st Apple item I've ever owned!) and own a Nokia N95 8GB mobile (that's pretty much on its last legs/ready to die any day).
    On the Nokia I've got 2 apps (downloaded from/via Nokia's 'Ovi' app store): JoikuSpot & HandyWi. Both are the free versions.
    I've not used HandyWi much - if at all - but JoikuSpot has been great. Basically, it creates a wifi hotspot (as pjl123 mentioned) in a couple of straightforward steps, and allows a few devices to be connected. It displays who/what is connected at a given time - so you can check if the guy having coffee behind you is piggybacking your hotspot or not! - data packets sent received etc.
    The paid version has the benefit of allowing you to secure the hotspot and other security features.  Their website is www.joiku.com, FYI.
    Given how slow behind the 8 ball Nokia has been, their phones are getting cheaper and cheaper - given Joiku's meant to work with Nokia S60, Symbian ^3, Maemo, Meego & Sony Ericsson S60, this might be a cost effective option.
    Ps. Ah! One more thing - Joiku's website specifies that 3G must be used; that WAP will not work. Good luck, enjoy!

    Hi nthompson77,
    Welcome to BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Do you have a data plan with your wireless provider that supports internet browsing and messaging?
    If you do, is your signal uppercase or lowercase when you're having this issue? Have you tried reinserting your battery?

  • Can't get internet on my Ipad and Iphone

    Hi,
    I just got a new Time Capsule. It is now connected to my TIME WARNER CABLE modem and I am able to get wireless internet on my Mac. However I can't get internet on my iphone and ipad. Althought the light is green and everything seems to be fine. Any clues?

    If you have not yet done a full modem reset, that would be the first step to perform.
    Push the reset button on the modem (If present) and then power it off
    Pull the battery from the modem (if easily accessible)
    Power down every other device you have....order is not important
    Wait for at least 30 minutes.
    Make sure that the Ethernet cable from the modem is plugged into the WAN port (circle icon) on the Time Capsule
    Power up the modem and let it run 4-5 minutes by itself
    Power up the Time Capsule the same way
    Power up each other networkdevice one at a time about a minute spart
    Check for proper operation

    Can I get audio through iPhone when using apple tv?

    What do you mean exactly? Are you wanting to output the audio to your iPhone while say watching a video on your Apple TV?  If so, I'm afraid it's not possible.  However, you should post this in the Apple TV forums for a better confirmation on then.  There are some prettty knowledgable people who hang out there.

    How can I get the App store to use money in my account rather than a credit card when I want to buy something?

    The iTunes/Mac App Stores use credit on an account first. You are asked to supply an additional payment method when the cash credit doesn't cover the complete cost of the purchase.

  • I can't get my ipad3 to backup using iCloud.. It times out right at the end of backup

    I can't get my ipad3 to backup using iCloud.. It times out right at the end of backup. The blue bar nearly fills up and right at the end a message pops up saying the backup could not be completed.

    Tried that.. No joy. Just tried to synch again with iCloud . The bar gets nearly to the end and then stops. Says below it - estimated time remaining.... I'm confused. If I synch to my computer is this the same as synching to iCloud. It's shame it's doesn't work!
