  • Unable to detect router WRT54G

    Set up disk tells me it is unable to finish installation. ELA tells me it is unable to detect router. I just exchanged my WRT54G router for a new one because I was unable to access the router's web page. I was told by a computer guy that my router must be dead, so I exchanged it (it was only 4 months old). I also had a very lengthy online chat session to try to fix the problem.
    My internet connections are working, though and ELA tells me my network is 'ok' and my wireless network is 'secured.' But under 'Network Settings' it does not recognize the router and I am unable to access and configure my router through the browser.
    Below, I've tried to copy and paste the router web page -- it only shows a few details, no words at the tops of the tabs, so I am unable to configure.
    Also, I have downloaded new firmware (this router is v.8) with the tftp tool -- it says it is successful. PLEASE HELP! I've spent too much time on this . . .

    My suggestion is you start over from scratch.  Redownload the firmware with a wired connection....After you install the firmware. Hit the reset button for thirty seconds and let it reconfigure. Powercycle the modem and router. By this I mean turn everything off. Turn on the modem...wait till it has booted up. Then turn on the router..wait till it has booted up and turn on the pc.  Dont use the install cd or easy link. Once you have booted everything up. See if your computer will detect the router wirelessly.  The ssid is usually "linksys".  Make sure you can make a connection.  Once you make a connection and can access the internet ....then you can connect to the router wired...and enter the web browser.  See if you can get to this point first before we proceed.

  • Cannot Detect Router

    Hello, i'm trying to set up a wireless router and i am baffled with this one.  I can connect to the internet just fine from the Verizon Westell DSL modem, but when i used the setup CD and it got the point of Modem > Router > Computer, setup would error and tell me the router was not detected. I have steady green lights on the modem and router, everything that should be lit up is lit up.
    I used online help and called and the options told to me were to Download the firmware upgrade and easyconnect, but neither of those will detect the router either, so they didn't really help at all.
    Just looking for some possible solutions
    the router is a WRT54G  Ver.6
    I'm using Windows XP Home, with SP2 installed
    ISP is Verizon, with a Westell DSL modem, connecting with Cat5 ethernet cables (just figured i'd throw that in there, saw another post where someone was using the USB connection.)

    When you are connected to the modem, which IP address do you get? Is it possible you get one with 192.168.1.*? If that is the case, your modem has a router running as well and having the identical network on a WAN and LAN interface of a router is always doomed.
    Also, make sure when you are trying to setup the router that your computer does not establish its own internet connection through the modem at that time. Make sure it does not dial automatically. If it does, your router is basically bypassed.
    I would suggest you disconnect the router from the modem. Wire a computer to it. Then go to http://192.168.1.1/ and configure the router to connect to your ISP (e.g. setup PPPoE if required). Once you have setup the internet connection you reconnect it to the modem.

  • PC can't detect router (WRT54GS)

    I'm trying to set up my router and the PC can't detect the router.  The cables are new and connected properly.  If I connect the PC directly to the cable modem it works fine, however when I connect the router the PC cannot decect the router.  I've tried powering down and up and reseting the router but nothing works. 
    I've talked to linksys support and they advised me to replace the router because they suspected the ethernet port was defective.  I did that but I get the same issue when trying to set up the replacement router.
    My PC is roughly 4 years old - is it possible that my NIC needs new drivers?

    Sorry Mikodog, On my last post I miss read your post...I thought you said your router was 4 years old.
    Anyway, when you plug the puter into port 1 do you get a link light on your pc NIC? When you do a ipconfig /all with the suspect NIC, what kind of info does it return? And when you do it with the NIC that works, what does it return? With the susupect NIC, can you ping yourself? Just basic stuff. You also might Isolate the NIC by doing the puter to puter thing.
    As far as puter settings are concerned...check your TCP/IP configuration...you know, right click on my network connections right click on the local network Icon (make sure it shows enabled) and then click properties, scroll down to TCP/IP  and click the properties do hicky.

  • AAAGGHHH!!! Have WRT54G V8, all lights a go, but cannot detect internet connection

    Any help is a Plus!!! Just bought my wife a WRT54G V8 router from Best Buy. The thing is less than 2 weeks old. Have yet to figure how to set it up. I have ran the CD, it gets to about %89, stops and says "Cannot detect internet connection, ck cables and try again". Have went through the speal w/the phone self help setup, downloaded the instructions from the Liksys support site, and set on hold for about 30 minutes before getting sick of waiting for help. I don't have a firewall other than the Windows firewall, my DSL service is through Verizon (MSN). When the router is hooked up I can't sign on to the internet at all. If I unhook the router and hook the modem back into the computer it works fine. I am at a loss, Please Help!!!

    check first what is your ip when you are connected straight to your modem

    turn the router off wait 10 sec. then back on
    with the pc connected to e.g. port no. 1 on the router, open internet explorer, on the address bar type in 192.168.1.1 - uname  none/blank  password admin
    then on set up look for local ip address change that to 192.168.2.1
    Melsky, this is a very confusing post.You say to check the ip you get when connected to the modem, if it is a 192.168.1.1 address then disconnect the modem from the internet port of router.
    First, you would never get a 192.168.1.1 address from the modem. If the modem has a built in router or just a dhcp server IT would most likely be 192.168.1.1 so it would not assign that address to anything else.
    Second, you say to check ip directly connected to modem, but then you say to disconnect the router if the address is a 192.168 address. If they connect directly to the modem, the router is already disconnected.
    Very confusing.

  • I cannot detect my wireless hp desk jet 3520 printer, I cannot detect my wireless hp desk jet 3520 printer

    I cannot detect my wireless HP desk jet 3520 printer from my iPad? 

    I can't find an Arris router with that model number, are you sure it is not a TG862?
    Regardless, Arris routers are known to either be incompatible with Bonjour or have problems with Bonjour packets hence Airprint will not work. Check with Arris' website and see if there is a firmware update availble for your router for Bonjour/Airprint compatibility and install it or switch out your router.

During the initial setup, I saw the red light goes to flashing green light while trying to detect my phone....then it goes to red and repeat again.
    Does anyone have this problem before? I try to locate Freetalk customer service number, but they don't have one.

  • Can't detect router (but router works!)

    recently... i got this "limited connection" for the internet, but i noticed that the Router was working perfectly (all the lights were fine) and the modem (motorola) was also working fine as well (corresponding lights were on). i had to unplug the router for now (connect the internet, just directly through the modem - so the modem works). i just tried to reinstall the router and nothing can detect this WRT54G, but all the correct lights are still flashing.
    i'm wondering if, the router got fried or something? possibly an A/C adaptor problem?, i tried a different outlet on my power bar but it still didn't work (everything else connected to the power bar works).
    thanks in advance!

    for "limited or no connectivity" through the router , follow the steps below :
    1) make sure that the computer is connected to one of the LAN ports and not the WAN / Internet port.
    2) go to start -> control panel -> network connections -> right click on LAN and click properties -> click on configure and go to Advanced tab....under the properties column select Link Speed and under values select 10 mbps half duplex mode
    3) Restart the computer and check the ip add.
    4) if still getting 169.254.x.x , go to start -> control panel -> network connections -> right click on LAN and go to properties -> select Internet Protocol TCP/IP and click for its properties.
       Select use the following ip add and enter the info
       IP add         :  192.168.1.10
        SM              :  255.255.255.0
       Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1
    Click OK.
    5) go to command prompt , ensure that u get the same ip add and then type :
     ping 192.168.1.1
     if you get replies , it means your computer is communicating with the router
     if you get Request Timed Out , disable the firewalls on the comp , hold the reset
     button on the router for 90 seconds and do a power cycle...
    6) check the ip add again and try to ping the default gateway

  • EasyLink Advisor cannot detect WRT300N on wired computer

    Upgraded my router to WRT300N with a WRT150N running as an access point.  Laptops are now running just fine both base and access point.  Wired computer has Internet, Network drive access, and can access the router setup (192.168.1.1).
    Trying to load the EasyLink Advisor.  It cannot detect the router.  The setup is cable modem to switch, cat5  to ethernet card to computer.  Even tried bringing the modem to the computer and direct connecting. Still no luck.
    The EasyLink Advisor is verison 1.6.0032
    The WRT300N router is version 1.1 with firmware 1.51.2
     Please help.

    it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field
    empty and provide password as admin.On the main setup page the ""Internet Connection Type"" should be
    on ""Obtain IP Automatically - DHCP “. Click on the Save Settings
    button.

  • TS1538 Hi, I have the problem which iTunes cannot detect my iPhone 4s. I tried the steps you have provided in your troubleshooting, but it won't work for me because the Apple Mobile Devilce is perfectly installed on my windows.

    Hi, I have the problem which iTunes cannot detect my iPhone 4s. I tried the steps you have provided in your troubleshooting, but it won't work for me because the Apple Mobile Devilce is perfectly installed on my windows. However, the driver "Microsoft teredo Tunneling adapter" has a yellow exclamation mark, which i believe means it's not installed correctly or something is wrong with it. This driver is under the Network Adapters (Please see picture below).
    This is what happens when I connect my iPhone 4s to my laptop (Windows 7 Starter 32-bit)
    1. The phone charges it's battery
    2. I can open it in My Computer and import/export media files.
    In iTunes
    3. It start to sync until step 3 then stops.
    4. The iPhone option with an arrow appears beside the iTunes Store, but when the arrow is clicked it disappears.
    I hope you can provide me a solution for this problem.
    Thanks,
    Ralph

    Hi ralphagir,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    For your iTunes issue with it not recognizing your iPhone, I would go ahead and suggest deleting iTunes and all of its components from your Windows computer and installing fresh.
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
    As far as the arrow button that you click and the iPhone disappears, it sounds like you may be clicking on the eject button. Please take a look at the following article for information on the eject button in iTunes.

If I go to "purchased > music > all > recent purchases" it will show me the purchases that were most recent the last time I synced my phone, but not the purchases since then.

    So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
    Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
    Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver.
