Connecting Clearwire modem to WRT54G ver1.1 router

Am trying to convert from a DSL line to CLEAR. I cannot get the clear modem to work with the Linksys router even after putting latest firmware on the router. CLEAR tech said all that is needed was to set the router to DHCP instead of PPoE. I can connect the clear modem directly to my desktop and it works. Obviously more needs changing to get this to work but what? Router is 6 years old if that makes a difference. I will try anything.

Having a connection issue with the WRT54GS Wireless Router

We just recently got Broadband internet. We had issues with it at first, because the Ethernet cable included wasn't working properly, and instead, the guy got us connected via USB cable. Now, I just bought this Router yesterday, and made the mistake of unplugging the USB and plugging in the extra cable. I did everything as instructed in the Easylink Advisor program. My connection was messed up, and I could not connect at all. After calling Tech support, they reset our modem and everything (cable modem and internet-wise) is as good as new. I went out and bought a new Ethernet cable, so now I have 2 perfectly new cables, and left the USB cable plugged in, so I don't throw it off as I did yesterday. I still can't get the Port 1 light to come on. the WLAN light is on, as well as the Internet light, but no Port lights will turn on. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance! -Chris-

Are you getting online via ethernet with the modem now? Make sure your local area network is enabled. Go to control panel then network connections.

IPhone use to connect to a Linksys WRT54G v5. router but now it won't go to Internet. Updated firmware of Router.

Hello. We have 3 iPhones at my work and for a long time we could connect through WIFI with a wireless Linksys router. Now it won't get us to the Internet. I have updated the router's firmware. The iPhones can see the connection but the Internet won't work. I have played with some of the settings in the router but I don't think I know enough. Please help.

If you think it might need a charge, then use the Wall Charger to charge it up a bit.
Reset, hold at same time Home and Power buttons for about 15 seconds until iPhone restarts itself. See if everything is OK.
If not, you can try to Restore. If the iPhone is OFF, then hold the Home button as you connect the iPhone to computer with iTunes open. Keep holding Home button until iTunes detects iPhone in Recovery Mode. Restore Firmware.
If the iPhone is ON, then connect iPhone to computer with iTunes open, and hold both Home and Power buttons until iTunes detects iPhone in Recovery Mode. Restore Firmware.

WRT54GS Wireless Router Connection Drop!!!

Hey everyone, heres my rant. I have called technical support about a dozen or more times this past month for the connection drops from my WRT54GS Wireless Router. I only use 4 devices to go online;A computer running windows xp, my Xbox 360, my PS2 and my PSP. I always have problems with ALL the devices, of which only 2 are connected wireless, the Xbox 360 and the PSP. I have updated the firmware already but the problems persists, anyone have any suggestions? Because I am ready to throw this thing out the window! LOL Any help would really be appreciated because the tech supports can't help. BTW this is my 1st replacement, reason for this is I had the same problem with my original router. Also the connection is fine when I connect directly from the cable modem to my computer or Xbox 360. What do I do??

hi....try a few things here......first off , change the MTU on the router to 1365 as it is the recommended value for the Xbox 360.....
another thing that i would like to know is if u have forwarded the ports required for the xbox , the PSP and the PS2 ? ...
in case u have not , here are the ports that u will have to open on the router under the Port forwarding section..
The PSP and the PS2 use the same ports :-
TCP:- 10070-10080
UDP :- 6000-6999
The Xbox uses :-
TCP :- 3074 & 88 ...
let me know if u need any more information

WRT54G dropping internet connectivity with Clearwire modem

I recently switched ISPs from Comcast to Clearwire. I'm linking two laptops with v. 6 of a WRT54G, which I used successfully for a couple years with my comcast service. The Clearwire service is working ok, but lately every day, sometimes twice a day, my internet speed slows to a crawl and finally stops. While this degradation of connectivity occurs, my status bar on my computer shows good wireless connection at 54 mbps and I have 5 lights on the clearwire modem, indicating best signal. I can unplug the power to the router, then after 30 seconds or so when it boots back up, I'm back to full speed on the internet. This tells me (I think) that I have an issue with the router rather than my internet connection. I'm running the router in secure mode. Is this thing just getting sick and tired or do you think there is something to be tweaked here? Thanks.

You need to Upgrade your router's firmware...
Download the Firmware...
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...It should work now without dropping the Internet Connection...

Internet Connection no longer working with WRT54G V3 Router

I have had a WRT54G V3 router working successfully for a number of years now with a couple wireless PCs through a cable modem with Comcast as my ISP. All of a sudden yesterday, neither PC could access the internet. No changes had been made to the router.
I contacted Comcast and they of course had me hard-wire one of my PCs into the cable modem. That worked and I was able to access the internet. However, when I tried to put the router back in place (in either a wired or wireless fashion), I could not access the internet.
I've tried following the online Linksys troubleshooting documention. The lights that should be lit on the router are lit. I can access the router setup web page which shows the settings still intact. I've tried going through the power sequencing to no avail. Comcast says my router is the culprit of my problem, but I don't know why it would all of a sudden stop working. My wireless printer still works so it detects a signal and my PC shows it's connected, but no internet access is possible.
What do I need to do? Are there any other diagnostic tools available? The Chat people won't help because I'm out-of-warranty.

Dial up connection sharing via WRT54G wireless router

Can someone help me out? Here's my issue
I have an XP based desktop computer that connects to the internet via a dial up 56K modem. I would like to share the connection with my new XP vista laptop using the wireless adapter on the laptop. I have a Linsys WRT54G wireless router. The desktop pc with the connection I want to share is connected to the router via ehternet cable. How do I go about configuring the laptop wireless & the router to allow for this. I assigned a static ip 192.168.1.253 to my desktop from the router (192.168.1.100). When I enable ICS it changes the ethernet to 192.168.0.1.

Your connection download speed should be about the same 8-9Mbits, whether you are wired directly to your modem, or wired through your router .
You said you reset the router to factory defaults and that it was working better. Did the download connection speed through the router go to 8-9Mbits/sec ? If it is still 5-6 Mbits, then this suggests that something in your modem-router system is not setup quite right. If you still have this slow speed problem, then please post the following info:
1) Your ISP (internet service provider)
2) Your modem model number and version.
3) Open your router's setup pages, and go to the Setup tab. List all your settings in the "Basic Setup - Internet Setup" section.
4) List the operating system (Windows XP, Win 98SE, etc.) on the wired computer that you are using for the test.
After you list this info, hopefully someone in this community will be able to guide you to optimizing your settings, given your ISP and equipment.

Router can't connect but modem can

I've been using this WRT54G broadband router with linksys am300 adsl modem for a long time now until a few days ago my internet couldn't work. I tried directly pulgging to my modem, internet works. If i go through router, no internet. I tried reset router to factory default, it worked and I could surf for like 15 minutes, then it dropped again. I tried again to connect ethernet directly to modem without going through router, internet works fine. I've done reset on the router a couple of times after that, but I could not complete the steps and my internet doesn't work when I using the router. What should I do with my router??

Logon to www.linksys.com/downloads and download the firmware for the router and upgrade it .
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device: - Open

Bypass the router and connect the main computer directly to the modem.
Make sure that you can access the Internet on your main computer directly through the modem.
Connect the modem to the Internet port and main computer to the Ethernet port on the router.
Press and hold the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. Release the reset button and wait for 30 seconds. Power cycle the router and reconfigure it manually.

How to set up 6th Generation AirPort Extreme to cable modem as a wireless router and then connect my 3rd Generation Time Capsule to AirPort Extreme as a wireless extender?

What is the best way to set up my 6th Generation AirPort Extreme (A1521) to my cable modem as a wireless router and then connect my 3rd Generation Time Capsule (A1355) to my AirPort Extreme as a wireless extender? I live in a small 1 story house and I currently have the Airport Extreme connected to my cable modem in the living room and the Time Capsule plugged into the wall in my bedroom. I am able to wirelessly connect to the internet using the AirPort Extreme as my router and I can also do wireless back ups to my Time Capsule. My problem is that my connection seems to be really slow! My 1TB Time Capsule back up is only half way complete and it has been 3 days! My computer has been backing up all day and night for almost 72 hours and its still not even 75% complete. I have backed up to this Time Capsule in the past and it never took this long. I am thinking that when I set up my AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule using AirPort Utility I must have set it up incorrectly or something.
How do I set up my Airport Extreme and Time Capsule for the fastest possible internet speed and back up speed?
Thank you,

AirPort Utility 5.6 works with AirPort Extreme 802.11g base stations.
It works with N version airports.
It will also show details of the AC model but cannot be used for the setup.. mostly.
I purposely got the new 6th Gen Airport Extreme so my internet connection would be a lot faster!
Your network will be much faster when you have AC client directly connected to the AE. Older client will go no faster.. but what is worse.. extend wireless is mixing new and old wireless standards.. guess what one wins.. OLD.. So when you extend wireless.. you have no improvement whatsoever. This whole post is about extending wireless.. so you cannot extend to older equipment and do any better.. maybe slightly better signal although from your comments that isn't happening either.
I would rather not have to use an ethernet at all with the TC and I don't know EOP adapters are!
If you do not use ethernet then you are going to be forced to accept slow speed.
EOP (ethernet over power). Also called homeplug in the US.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HomePlug
Provides a method of networking over power cabling that already exists in your house.
So what your saying is for the fastest internet speed and back up speed possible I should keep my Airport Extreme plugged into my Modem and keep my TC set up as a wireless extender? Then when I want to do back ups I should plug an ethernet cable from my TC to my MacBook Pro?
To spell this out.
A wireless link to an extended device will go very slowly.. if it is not direct.
So lets say you have a laptop sitting in the lounge.. Your connection goes.. Laptop- - - - - AE- - - - -TC.
That means two wireless links.. wireless has this nasty half duplex and single channel nature.. it can send or receive (Tx or Rx) but not at the same time.
Ethernet by contrast does both at once. It is full duplex.
Wireless can talk to one client at a time.. so if there are multiple items using wireless lets say 4 devices.. then your computer gets a 25% time slice. Since wireless cannot handle multiple simultaneous connections.
Ethernet by contrast can connect multiple computers to multiple destinations at the same time.. all transmitting and receiving at full speed.
When you put all this together.. there are a couple of rules for fast connection.
1. Use ethernet at all times. Where you cannot use ethernet use anything but wireless.. eg EOP (homeplug) at least to try and get rid of wireless.
2. Where you must use wireless use it sparingly and make sure it is never more than one hop.. ie never have an extend wireless (repeater is more usual term). Repeater will cause instant slowdown of 50% and maybe up to 75% just because it is so inefficient.
3. Fastest wireless is 5ghz but it has very short range.. you need to be up close and personal to get it working.
Apple routers however unless you do manual setup I suggest are set to connect to best signal strength not best speed. It will therefore use 2.4ghz at 25% less speed than 5ghz because it is 1db better signal.. this madness means you need to setup manually for the best setup.

My WRT54G v5 router loses internet connection frequently

My WRT54G v5 router loses internet connection frequently. Sometimes occurs when you enter a web or sometimes every few minutes, but without a pattern. I have W XP Pro with SP3 and I have a pc wired to the router and sometimes 2 notebook with Wi-Fi. What could be the problem?. Thank you very much.

I have upgraded the firmware to v 1.02.8 and reduced the MTU to 1350 but after a few minutes of doing that I had the same problem... The router reboots itself, again and again and again...
It's possible to run some diagnostic utility that somebody can check ??
It's possible it would be a router failure ??
I note that sometimes is ok and when Entering some web pages the router reboots itself and I loose my internet connection, but others, the router reboots for no apparent reason...
I dont know what to do...
