Help with EasyLink Advisor for WRT54GS

Ok when I try and bring up the EasyLink Advisor for my router it says Administrator Privileges Required then under that it says You must be logged on as a user with administrator privileges to modify the computer's configuration for home networking. The thing is though that I am logged in as the administrator. I have never had this message appear before. I have gotten on the EasyLink Advisor numerous times to find the IP Address and stuff so I can connect my Xbox, iPod Touch wifi, and stuff like that. But now it won't let me do anything. I used to have Windows Vista on my computer but then I upgraded to Windows 7 and I think this is the problem because it started happening after I upgraded. Help!
Solved!

Yes the Easy Link Advisor is not supported on Win 7. You don't need it anyway. Simply connect to 192.168.1.1 with user name blank, password admin and check all status from the router itself.

Easylink Advisor for WRT54G v6

I thought that Easylink Advisor would be available on the CD that came with the WRT54G router, but I don't see it. Do I have to install the Setup Wizard from the CD to use Easylink Advisor? My WRT54G router is working normally. I just want to print out the network settings with the Easylink Advisor.
Next question, assuming that there is a version of Easylink Advisor out there that works with WRT54G v6, where can I download it from?
Thanks.

Not on that old router. Use the standard web address to configure.

Issue concerning the EasyLink Advisor for the Wrt54gs v6.0

On Monday of this last week, my ISP was changed from DirectTV/Qwest, to Cox Cable. When I returned home, our connection setup had been changed. We had setup a modem and the router in a different room, with the network being unsecure, and not supported by a computer system. Now, we have the router connected to the PC, and the modem in the room as well.
Now, the Circo System light is orange, as opposed to the usual white, and my wireless adapter gets kicked off of the network I had to recreate, which is unsecure, every 12 hours. I think this may be because the CPU with the wireless router does not have the EasyLink Advisor installed on it, and the disc is nowhere in sight.
My question is, do I need the advisor, and if so, where can I get it, without the disc? I've looked around the forum, and I can't find a clue. The system with the wireless router is a Windows XP, and the system with the adapter is a Windows Vista. And if that happens to not be the case, what should I try to do? Any help is appreciated, thank you.

No need to use the easylink advisor what you could do is try upgrading the firmware of the router & keep on holding tightly the reset button in such a way that power light is blinking on the router & then do a complete network power cycle i.e., unplug the power cables from the modem & from the router & then plug in the power cable
to the modem first once all the lights are solid green you could plug in the power cable to the router & check out it will definatelyConfiguration for cable connection:-
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.
Now click on the sub tab ""MAC address clone"".
- Click on enable
Click Clone & click save settings
Check WAN Ip on Status page of router ....
If getting Valid Ip .... try going online
If not ... power cycle for 4-5 minutes & then agian check the WAN Ip address .....
Step 03 : To configure the router for Wireless.
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here Wireless Network mode should be mixed
- Provide any name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box, all in
lower cases without any spaces in between.
- Set wireless channel to 11
- And wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on save
settings.
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the
Network Identifier.
For Wireless Security : -
Now Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security.
Change the Wireless security mode to WEP
Encryption should be 64 bits.
Leave the Pass phrase blank, don't type in anything.
And under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please.Click on save
settings.
Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network & you will be able to go Online Wirelessly!!!

WRT320N and Easylink Advisor for OSX

Hi, I recently got a mac having always had Window's machines before and am looking for a download for easylink advisor. I found the setup software, and that ran fine, but I only seem to be able to find a windows download for easylink. I've googled around, and there is talk of easylink for OSX, but whenever a link is provided, it just takes me to the Cisco homepage. Can someone perhaps shed some light on the situation? The easylink board also seems to be in the archive section of the forum, which doesn't give me much hope... Cheers

You can try and download the Easy Link Advisor for MAC from the following link: http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/software/LELA After download try to run the file and check whether its getting installed in the MAC OX or not...

Wireless-G Model WRT54GS V7 Firmware 7.50.0 - easylink Advisor 1.5.1044

I have a Wireless-G Model WRT54GS V7.50.0 Firmware for easylink Advisor 1.5.1044
Connected to a highspeed connection, and then connected (Hardwired in port 1 of router) to a Dell system running XP SP3.
I bought a new Laptop that is running Windows 7 and the laptop causes the connections to drop when it is powered on.
Then the laptop is always dropping the connection and re-establishing the connection. Is this problem because of windows 7?
If I do not bring the laptop up, i can run the desktop with no problem. Running WPA security mode.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
John

Is your Desktop computer is a Wired or Wireless? Are you facing the problem only on your Windows 7 Computer or on all the wireless computers?
You can try to change the Wireless Settings on your Router and check if that makes any difference...
Login to the setup page of your Router and click on the Wireless tab.... and below change the Wireless Channel to 11-2.462GHz and click on Save settings.... Then click on the Sub tab "Advance Wireless Settings" and below Change the Beacon Interval to 50 .....Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2307 ....Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

WRT54G V8 Hiding or denying access to EASYLINK Advisor

On the wire PC which is hooked to router via ethernet. Is there anyway to prevent access or hide the settings for the router? In particular the encryption key so a teenager doesn't have access? Thanks in advance.

That doesn't seem to make a difference when you are using the EasyLink Advisor software that came with the router. If you click on look at settings everything shows up for the router.

HELP!!! - Internet up, but EasyLink Advisor can not find network

All,
This is my first experience using a wireless router and although I sent everything up according to directions and the network has worked for at least 3 weeks now (both my computer and PS3 seem to work without issue), all of a sudden when I click on the 'EasyLink Advisor' it will not display my network at all (as if I never went through the steps to set the router up in the first place).
I have the WRT54G model and am running Windows XP, Service Pack 2. Again, when I click on the Easylink Advisor icon, the window comes up but everything is greyed out (My Network, Actions, and Support). The first window I get is the 'Network Setup Wizard' to guide me through the steps to setup my router (which is already set up and working).
If anyone has any idea on what I can do in order for the information on my network to reappear it would be greatly appreciated. I'd really rather not have to go through the entire setup process again and chance messing things up on both computer and PS3 if possible (and I really don't want to have to uninstall and reinstall again).
Thank you all in advance for your help - I really appreciate it!

I just installed a new WRT5G after 4-5 years of excellent service from my old one (the old one fritzed out-couldn't even reset factory settings). I like the idea of Easy Advisor, especially the way it detected the the machines connected to my network and listed all my router settings in one place. However, I believe that it interferes with the proper operation of the router and/or internet connection and I do not allow it to start automatically anymore.
I experienced two or three occasions where I activated ELA from the System Tray and my internet connection got blown out of the water altogether. The more damning evidence comes from an online program that I run from a remote computer that since the new router had become severely laggy to an extent I had never seen with the old router. The program monitors network status to several different servers, and during this laggy event it rated the connections with each service as Fair or Poor. Having suspected issues with ELA, I ended the program, and my network status immediately went to Very Good (the best rating possible) / 100%.
What convinced me that this was no coincidence is that the next day I had extremely poor performance again, and I went down to the computer connected to the router and found that ELA had restarted when my daughter had logged on. As soon as I ended the program again, my online program returned to 100% connectivity.
I had to log on to each of my users accounts and run msconfig in order to uncheck ELA from starting up automatically even though I had disabled it from the Computer Administrator account. That was quite a pain and I would have had no qualms about uninstalling it altogether if I'd had any further trouble with it.
Like I said, ELA is great in concept, but the fact that the program has trouble finding the router when everything is connected and configured properly is pretty troublesome. Bottom line, though, is that you don't need ELA to configure your router. It's not that hard to do and you can get plenty of guidance from the internet and I would imagine this board. It's the same way you had to do it before ELA anyway.

Can ONLY connect wireless by using wire & EasyLink Advisor first - help!

Hello,
Installed a new WRT54GS for a friend's business. I've tried several laptops, and always get the same result: I can see and connect to the WLAN's SSID just fine after providing the WEP key. However, it times out trying to get an IP address from the router. I can manually enter an IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS server that I know are valid, and it still won't connect. (Example: 192.168.1.105; 255.255.255.0; 192.168.1.1; 192.168.2.1) Still get zero packets received. Now, if I connect the laptop to the router and run EasyLink Advisor, it will get settings from the router, and eventually connect to the WLAN just fine. The laptop will then stay connected just fine until a reboot. After a reboot, I'm back where I started. I haven't changed many defaults at all on the router. It's set as a DHCP server, with a pool of 50 addresses beginning at 192.168.1.100.
Again, DHCP fails unless I first use a wire and EasyLink Advisor. Any ideas how to resolve this so I don't have to go through this process each time?

Thanks for the reply. I can't get back to the machine for a couple days. I assume you mean disable the firewall on the laptops I'm trying to connect, right? 3 different laptops all failed to connect, and I'm sure they don't all have AVG. (I'm not sure any of them do.) I have Symantec Corporate AV on mine, and I connect to several other WLANs without a problem.

Can't run easylink advisor with windows 7

Having moved to a windows 7 PC from XP, hardwired router connection to my WRT54G v. 2 works no problem. Using a 2nd wireless PC, I discover my once secure network is now unsecured-- no clue why. Trying to install easylink advisor on new W7 PC from CD to investigate, CD refuses claiming incompatibe OS. Can't find windows 7-compatible easylink advisor (or replacement) on linksys site. How do I run easylink advisor on windows 7? I understand there is a direct web interface to the innards of the WRT54G, I'm looking for something that doesn't require me to study router configuration parameters-- that's what easylink is for.

I had the same problem after upgrading to Win 7 Ultimate from a fresh rebuild of Vista Premium. The Easllink Advisor wouldn't install from the CD that came with the product and I couldn't find any updates for it on this site. I have the WRT54G2 Ver 1 router. After some internet searching I found the following link for LELA It installed just fine and it's working so far. No previous version of Easylink required. https://update.linksys.com/autoupdate/ BTW, I found the update link on this site: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/lanwan/lanwan-features/30446-linksys-naughty-lela

Linksys Easylink Advisor - Main has encountered a problem and needs to close.

I installed LELA 3.0. When Windows XP starts or when I try to start LELA from the desktop icon, I receive the following error "Linksys Easylink Advisor - Main has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." In other words, I can't get LELA to run on this PC. It does run on the other networked PC.

I don't think this is a Firefox problem. I have the same error message and I get it regardless of whether I'm using Firefox or another browser.
In checking [http://www.whatsrunning.net/QueryProductID.aspx?Product=16854] it is a file owned by Microsoft. I suggest you check your registry for errors.

Cannot remove "Network Device" with Easylink Advisor

Hi,
I have a device that i cannot remove. When I click on the tab for options I see "Details", "Rename", and "Track as Intruder" but not "Remove". I have the option to "Remove" from my acknowledged devices but not this one. This is on a PC with XP running Advisor version 3.11.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Easylink Advisor does not have the option to "Remove".
You can try uninstall and re-installing the software once.
