Connecting WRT54g to Wireless Modem

I am having a hard time. I have always had me WRT54G hardwired with the internet, but now my new service provider told me that I had to hook up their modem to the phone line an use their wireless modem (Motorola 3347). Now when I initially set it up and hardwired the modem and the router together my internet worked. Now I seperated them and I cannot get the WRT54G to see the modem. It isn't acting like a wireless modem.
What am I doing wrong?

To get your WRT54G router to work with the wireless modem is to get a Third party firmware , Like the DD-WRT firmware which has a feature that you can use to connect to the wireless modem , I have the same modem & I have used the dd-wrt firmware on two wrt54g routers , ver 3 & ver 8 , they have been working with the modem & I have had no problems yet. the feature of the dd-wrt firmware is a Repeater Bridge & It does work.

I have a Power PC G4 which is running on OSX 10.5.8, it has the AirPort utility but cannot connect to the internet as my iMac can, I think I might need an AirPort Card? Is that the case or do I need something different to connect to a wireless modem?

Welcome!
Only one variant of the PowerMac G4 could use the faster Airport Extreme Card. The rest used the original Airport card that is pretty slow.
To get fast wireless without buying more than one thing, consider this:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Edimax/EW7722IN/
It goes in an available PCI slot
There are USB solutions also. However, all PowerMac G4 towers had only slower USB 1.1 ports, so any USB wireless adaptor can only run at about wireless 'B" speeds (slow) unless you also install a PCI USB 2.0 adaptor card. Doing that would allow a USB wireless adaptor to run at its maximum rated speed. These items working together would accomplish that:
USB wireless "dongle:"
Newer Technology MAXPower 802.11n/g/b USB Adapter + Plug and play direct or with extension cradle
USB PCI adaptor:
http://eshop.macsales.com/Search/Search.cfm?Ntk=Primary&Ns=P_Popularity%7c1&Ne=5 000&N=7069&Ntt=USB+PCI
Each approach has its advantages. The PCI wireless card is a one-piece solution that takes up no desk space. The USB2 card+USB2 Dongle gives you more fast ports for transferring date from other external USB devices (primarily cameras and external hard drives) at hugely faster rates than can the original ports. I have a USB 2 PCI card in my G4 tower strictly for transferring images from my digital SLR camera in a timely manner.

Having trouble with Airport connecting with Verizon wireless modem.

Having trouble with Airport connecting with Verizon wireless modem. Any ideas?

Haven't asked Verizon. I think it is in my settings for Airport. Need to know proper settings.

Wrt54g laptop wireless modem connected to router but will not access in any browsers.

I started a friends laptop at my house put in the security key and it connected to my network with excellent strength. When I opened IE or Safari it said unable to access page not connected to the internet.
I went into the properties of the wireless modem and checked to see if it matched my wireless laptop. It was slightly different with not all the same options. I changed something and now I can not get it to connect at all.
I hooked the friends laptop to my lan line and it works perfectly of course, so I know it has to be in the settings.
Any answers to the first problem of browsers not connecting, And anyway you can help me get the friends laptop settings back to where they were?
Thanks

Then on your laptop try to connect to the netwok with the key.

HP Officejet 6000 will not connect to new wireless modem.

I have Windows 8.1. My HP Officejet 6000 E609n wireless printer worked well, until the modem died and a new one was installed (new address). I need to know how to make it recognize the new network address. (Note: I tried to install the original setup software, but the CD would not run under Windows 8).
This question was solved.

2. Then, unplug the power keep holding down the reset button for
another 30 Seconds.
3. Plug back the power back in, and keep holding down the reset button

Reconfiguration for cable modem.
Access the setup page of the router by launching an
Browser and type on the address bar, 192.168.1.1 and press enter. When
it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field
empty and provide password as "admin" (Without quotes)
click on ok.
On the main setup page the ""Internet Connection Type"" should be
on ""Obtain IP Automatically - DHCP “. Click on the Save Settings
button.

HP 3511 all in one won't connect to my wireless modem

I just switched providers and now can not get my printer to connect to my modem. I have tried the WPS button but it is not finding the modem I guess. I do know that my modem has two different addresses (its the new one from Grande) the tech support said to try to find one but this printer does not give me that option. PLEASE HELP I HAVE TO PRINT STUFF TONIGHT.

Do not use WPS. It should be disabled in the router for security issues. Please explain your full network setup including all make and model numbers and how everything is connected.
Say thanks by clicking the Kudos Thumbs Up to the right in the post.

i have a Linksys Wrt54gs connected to a Cable modem.
it worked for about 8 months.
My kid pressed a button by accident and now it won't work.
the router just keeps resetting.
i unplugged everything.
conencted 1 computer, and everything is fine.
Received DHCP address.
Once i plug in a second computer it starts rebooting.
Both computers are set to DHCP.
NO internet connection is connected at this time for troubleshooting purposes.
Nothing is connected to the ethernet port on the Linksys router (port for internet access), only 1 and 2 are connected.
i reset the router and still nothing.
i can connect 1 computer via wireless and 1 computer via direct connection and all is good. Once 2 devices are connected via direct connections it starts resetting.
i can even connect the modem to the router (for internet access), and connect to the linksys router via wireless from my computer and get internet access.
But once i direct connect 2 connections, the router starts resetting.
i have reset and reboot it with every combination i can think of.

Its good that its working now.
If it happens again, try this :
Press the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. The Power light will start flashing. Turn the Router and the Modem OFF. Turn the modem ON first, wait for 10 seconds, turn the router ON, wait for 10 seconds, you should be ONLINE !!!
Do this when the computer os connected to the router with a cable.
than on the computer open Internet Explorer and in the Address Bar type : 192.168.1.1 and hit enter.
It'll ask for the password. The default password is admin.
Once in the setup page. Click on the Wireless tab.
In there Change the Network Mode to mixed. And change the SSID to your name.
Change the Channel to 11. And Enable the SSID Broadcast.
Save the settings here. After that Click on Wireless Security and configure it accordingly and Save the settrings.
Than click on Advanced Wireless Settings. In there Disable the SES function.

WRT54G - No Wireless Connection

I'm at my wits end with this problem. I have a WRT54G vers. 6 router connected to a cable modem that worked just fine for the first several months I had it. However, over time it started to get worse and worse at holding a signal. So a couple of weeks ago, at the suggestion of Linksys, I updated the firmware. This made the problem worse and I struggled with constant freeze-ups and disconnects. A few days ago I just stopped being able to connect to the internet wirelessly. I still connect fine with a wire, but if I go wireless I connect to the network OK with a strong signal, but can get no internet connection no matter what I do. I've tried resetting the router, which did nothing, and disconnecting and obtaining a new IP address, which also did nothing. What's going on here? Has anyone here had a similar problem and fixed it somehow? Or is this just router death?

On the Laptop .... open wireless connection .... remove all networks under preferred network list ....
Click refersh ... try to connect to home network ..... if shows connected ....check the Ip address on the same ... disable all the firewall & try to pnig the gateway address (192.168.1.1) ...if shows reply try going online ...
See how long it goes ....

Lose wireless connection when not in same room as wireless modem.

When I try to use my z60t laptop in another room in the house I cannot connect to the internet. The signal strength is either very good or low. When I am in the office where the wireless modem is located, my signal strength is excellent and there is no problem. My husband does not have this same problem with his HP laptop. I also get a good signal with my iphone all over the house. After calling Verizon it was determined that it is a computer problem.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Lisa

100% certain that I am connecting to my modem. And yes the password is a good one too. As I said, I have no troubles connecting when outside a 5metre or 15feet (for those of us who aren't metric) radius of the modem. When closer then that, the connection will usually drop out.

Telstra wireless modem card wont connect since installed OSX 14.11

I am familiar with how to add hardware and point to a .msi file under XP, but less so on Windows 7. I ran the add hardware tool, but it finds no new hardware to add. There is no point installing a driver when the hardware can't be found. Besides, I didn't do anything that would have changed or removed the old driver. My WiFi was working perfectly until Sunday.
I also tried rolling back windows to an earlier restore point. Unfortunately, it reports that it is unable to apply any of the prior restore points (even after I temporarily disabled Norton AntiVirus).
How to I initiate getting a replacement WiFi card under warranty?

I recently bought an external hard drive and attached it to a wireless modem router. The problem is that i can't access it from my macbook. I get a "connection failed" and "the server is available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally".

Well I believe I described the problem above. I want only to add that the external hard drive is a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Drive 1TB and the wireless modem router is a Belkin N Plus (model F5D8635-4 v1). Also, in the finder window under "shared" I see a "belkinserver" and when I click it, it says "connection failed". If I click "connect as" I get the "the server "belkinserver" is available on your computer..." which I mentioned above. I tried to connect macbook via ethernet to the modem router and then when I typed "smb://belkinserver" it immediately prompted me for a username and a password and when I typed them finally I got to enter the contents of the hard drive! So what's the problem wirelessly?

If your external drive does not have an independent power supply, you may wish to consider a couple of lower-cost options before tossing the drive. Bus-powered drives have no external power source and must get all their power from the computer. They can exceed the computer's USB energy budget.
Cheapest option:
1 Meter USB 2.0 A to 5 Pin Mini B Cable - Auxiliary USB "Y" Power Design for external hard drives.
This gets power from two of the computers USB porst sna can provide enough power to wake up an under-performaing bus-powered drive.
If you don't have enough ports to use this, try the next cheapest option:
Newer Technology 7 Port Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Hub with Power Adapter for Mac & PC
Such a hub has a an independent power supply to make up for wahat the comptuer fails to provide.
