Cant connect to the internet using my wrt54g

i bought the linksys wrt54g yesterday brought it home put in the setup disk and everythin was goin good until it came to step 10 and an error message came up saying: cant connect to the internet please shut off modem and turn it back on so tryed that still didnt work. so i found a thread when i searched this problem that said i had to bridge my westell 6100 modem to the router or somthin like that so i followed those steps and it still doesnt work can som1 help me please!?

Did you try to change the routers Ip address to 192.168.2.1?
I am not sure of that modem and not sure if it has a built in router ot not.  Call your ISP and see if that modem is also a router running DHCP and everything else.

    Since downloading osx v10.7lion every time i try to connect to the internet using BT Broadband i keep getting a message saying
    " you cant openthe application ) because Power PC applications are no longer supported." this is very annoying as i likeBT and the way it opens with all the local up to date news plus other apps +++ 
    Please can anyone help me as apple will not help unless i sign up for a new product agreement which i cannot understand as every thing worked before this so called very latest software that everyone cant do without  ?????

    I had the same problem with some apps and printer setup software. SInce Rosetta has been discontinued on Lion my only solution was to restore to 10.6 since the manufacturers either have not yet or will not release updated apps. In this case you have to determine how important those old PPC apps are to keep around and if there alternitives that are available to replace the functionality. I would expect a broadband provider to update thier apps if it is something that is required to connect.

  • Windows 8.1 laptop cannot connect to the internet using USB Mobile Broadband stick.

    I bought a new laptop and it came with Windows 8.1 installed. Well, things worked perfectly until I wanted to connect to the internet using my mobile broadband USB stick. I installed the software that came with the stick, and my laptop recognize
    the stick but I still cant connect to the internet. The stick workes perfect in my Windows 7 and Windows 8 laptops, but IT DONT CONNECT WITH MY WINDOWS 8.1 LAPTOP. What can I do to troubleshoot this???
    HOPE I AM SPECIFIC ENOUGH THOU...

    The PC Repair Guy,
    If you haven't already, verify that you can connect to the internet through some other means such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet with your laptop to rule out any network setting issues.  If you are able to connect successfully to the internet, use that opportunity
    to make sure you have
    Windows 8.1 Update installed as well as any other applicable updates your laptop may require.
    You may also want to check the
    Windows Compatibility Center to make sure that your device is compatible with Windows 8.1. 
    Another possibility is that the driver your laptop is installing for the device isn't the correct one.  Check the device manufacturer's site for the most up to date driver they have available for Windows 8.1.
    Hope this helps!

  • I have a desktop computer with xp Pro windows. I updated from Firefox 3.6 to 4.0 and found I could not connect to the internet using this updated bowser. I had to remove 4.0 and reinstall 3.6 to restore a working version of Mozilla. Why did this occur?

    I tried to update my browser from 3.6 to4.0. On restarting the computer I found I could no longer connect to the internet. I then connected to the internet using Internet Explorer and removed the mozilla browser and reinstall Mozilla firefox 4.0. Again the browser using this updated version didn't work. So reinstalled Mozilla firefox 3.6 and it worked.
    It appearsMozilla firefox 4.0 has a problem.
    My operating system is Windows XP pro.

    Uninstall 2.x totally
    Use CCleaner Registry tool
    Do whatever you need to to nuke the existing Apple programs and folders hidden here and there also.

  • Could my ipad2 connects to the Internet using SIM card or USB Modem?

    Could my ipad2 connects to the Internet using SIM card or USB Modem?

    If you have a 3G iPad, it can connect to the internet using cellular data. As the iPad has no USB port, you can't connect a USB modem. You can use what is called a MiFi, though. They connect to cellular service and create a personal WiFi hotspot.

  • I just downloaded the latest OS upgrade and since I can not connect to the internet using my cellular data plan.

    I just downloaded the latest iOS.7 upgrade on my ipad2, and since I can not connect to the internet using my cellular data plan.  I have checked my data plan and it's both current and over 2GB remaining.  However the indicator shows no service, thus would be the best steps to recover.  Thanks much for any support that can be provided.

  • After a recent comcast / xfinity update I have been unable to even connect to the internet using firefox. I can using internet explorer.

    After a recent comcast / xfinity update I have been unable to even connect to the internet using firefox. I can using internet explorer.

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    Restart the router. Many problems are solved that way.
    Step 2
    Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
    Step 3
    Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
    Step 4
    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
    Step 5
    You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
    Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    Potential sources of interference
    Step 6
    Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
    Step 7
    Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).

  • Unable to Connect to the internet using airport extrteme

    I am unable to connect to the internet using airport extreme It was working fine with my G3 & G4 iBooks but now I am unable to connect. I am able to connect directly to my Desktop connecting directly using ethernet. I am also receiving a strong signal from the airport base station. Please help. Thank you.

    Try the following, in order, until resolved:
    1. If the modem has a reset switch, use it to reset the modem. Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the modem to initialize.
    2. Remove power from the modem. If it has a backup battery, remove this as well. Wait 5-10 minutes. Replace the battery, and add power back to the modem.
    3. Perform a complete power recycle of your network components as follows:
    Modem/Router Power Recycling - Quick
    o Power-off the modem, AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the AEBS; 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 modem, AEBS, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
    o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
    o Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)
    4. Contact your ISP to have them perform a "modem reset."

  • Can't connect to the internet via router(WRT54G)

    Hi, I've just installed my WRT54G wireless router even though I'm connected to the internet and all the right lights are flashing. I still don't get any internet connection through the router. I've tried all kind of methods but still nothing. Please help me.

    if you have cable isp, log on to the router's admin <192.168.1.1> via internet explorer.. doesn't need the router to be online on the web to access it..
    once inside, select mac address clone on the blue strips and choose enable and click clone my pc's mac bar..(make sure you use the main pc that was first online thru the modem/cable box)..then save settings..
    then go to status on the black strip and check if you have an ip address and dns 1 to 2/3.. if you do.. then congrats.. you have successfully configured the router..
    if you have dsl, and has username and pw from isp, log on to router admin same way and select on the first box w/ the drop down arrow pppoe, type in un & pw and save settings..gp to status and make sure pppoe says connected w/ ip addresses as well..
    if no un & pw, connect only pc and router, access router admin same way, change lan ip to a diff. segment <192.168.2.1>save settings..unplug the router's power cable only for 10-20sec and plug in internet cable from dsl box and power as well.. to make sure, log on to new ip of router (e.g 192.168.2.1), clone pc's mac as well..then go to status and check if you have ip addresses..
    NOTE: if non of them gave you ip addresses, click dhcp renew / refresh button on status screen for cable and dsl w/o un & pw..
    if pppoe connection, try powering down router & modem at same time for 2min. then power them back on.. it should work by then..
    whew!!! that was long.. nwei, it worked for me and my neighbor, i have cable, she has dsl..good luck!!!

  • Cannot connect to the internet using Cellular Data after iOS 6.0.1 update

    While installing the iOS 6.1 update for my iPhone 4, I encountered an issue and had to restore it. Since completing the restore, I am only able to use a wifi connection to connect to the internet (apps not working when wifi isn't available, not even iMessage or safari - "Safari cannot open the page because it could not connect to the server"), although I have a mobile internet plan with my carrier. I also tried resetting the phone to its factory settings, but that didin't solve anything. Did any of you encounter this problem? How can I solve it?

    Phone restart > if that doesn't work then do a reset of the settings. Full restore would be the last option.
