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.

  • Does the Xbox 360 wireless adapter even work with the WRT54G wireless router?!!? If so, how???

    I just bought a WRT54G wireless router (Ver 8.0; firmware updated to latest).  I have successfully connected my wireless laptop using WEP security, but I'm at wits end trying to get the Xbox 360 wireless adapter to work.  (It worked just fine with my Netgear router until that router recently died.)
    When I do the "Test Media Connection" routine (you XBox 360 users know what I'm referring to), the Xbox immediately recognizes the Network Adapter and indicates that it is connected to the Wireless Network, but it inevitably fails the next step in the process:  IP Address.  I have the set-up for the IP address to be assigned automatically by the router (which is set for  DHCP Server enabled).
    I have gone around the mountain innumerable times myself and then with well-meaning friends who say try this, try that, try this, try that.  I've had to re-establish my laptop set-up so many times I wanna scream!
    Are the Xbox 360 wireless adapter and the WRT54G even compatible?  If so, what am I missing here?  I'm not too technical and obviously in over my head, but this ought not be that hard.
    Please, please do NOT respond unless you KNOW the answer!  I don't mean to be curt, but I'm over / past "suggestions to try."
    Thank you VERY much for your time and consideration if you can help me.

    I don't think that the X-BOX adapter is not compatible to wireless rotuer .... there are few settings you can try on the router ... Access router setup page ... Please click on the tab "Application and gaming" and click on sub tab "Port range forwarding" 1) On the first line in Application box type in "Xbox", in start box type in 88, in end box type in 88, in protocol keep it both, in ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and give a check mark on enable box. 2) On the second line in Application box type in "Xbox", in start box type in 3074, in end box type in 3074, in protocol keep it both, in ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and give a check mark on enable box. 3) Now save the settings 4) Once you return to the setup page, click on the tab "Administration" and disable the UPNP and save the settings. 5) Now assign the given ip address on your xbox ip address :- 192.168.1.20 subnet mask :- 255.255.255.0 default gateway :- 192.168.1.1 Please assign the dns address on the xbox primary dns :- 4.2.2.2 secondary dns :- 192.168.1.1 6) Please try to test your xbox live. Hope it works ...

  • Having issues with my WRT54GS Wireless Router.

    So, I've had this wireless router running for a couple years now and I've consistently had problems with it. One of the main problems that keeps occurring is that I lose connection often. About every 2 hours or so, all devices that are running off of the wireless connection lose connection randomly. All I do is unplug the router for about 10 seconds and plug it back in and everything is fine. Another 2 hours will pass by and then the connection is lost yet again. This cycle repeats itself all day everyday and I have no clue why. Also, while I'm on this desktop computer which is an XP and is wired to the router, I get constant notices that a new device has been detected. While I only have 2 computers connected to the router, it says I have over 15 unnamed computers on the wireless connection. I don't why this is and I really want to fix it. Is there a way that I can entirely reset my router and start the setup all over? What should I do with these problems?

    Is your network secured..?
    Make sure that your network is secured and have good security key.Open the router setup page and try the follwing settings.
    - Change the MTU to 1350
    - Change the SSID to some unique name
    - Change the Wireless Channel to 11-2.462GHz
    - Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,RTS Threshold to 2304.
    - Set WPA2 Security. 

  • Anyone else having repeated wifi connectivity issues with the OSX version 10.8.5?

    I just updated the software on my iMac to OS X version 10.8.5. Now I am having repeated connectivity issues with the wifi in my house. This is the only device that is having these issues. My phone, ipad and tv are not having any problems at all.
    It happened immediately following the update. I was sending emails and browsing before the update without a problem.
    from apple:

    I had a message like that last week - only it asked what browser I would be using - I just quit safari - purges caches etc - and at that time noticed I was getting RSS feeds through PUBSUB - tracking them down to the top sites view I never use - I deleted all of the top sites (most of which I don't go into so it must have been a preset) that included MSN and Google - I don't use google so that was pointless.  (deleting a top site means you are blocking it from that page)    Have not had the message since so it must have had something to do with top sites activity.
    Just a note:  Did see somewhere probably BBC tech - that Google was going to stop supporting older web browsers.

  • My iPod touch is having a little issue with the volume. When I plug in my headphones the volume works fine. When there aren't any headphones plugged in, no sound comes out from my iPod. When I go to turn up the volume, it still says headphones. Any tips?

    My iPod touch is having a little issue with the volume. When I plug in my headphones the volume works fine. When there aren't any headphones plugged in, no sound comes out from my iPod. When I go to turn up the volume, it still says headphones. I tried restarting it a few times, nothing worked. I looked up many tutorials, and still nothing did the trick. Any tips?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • I installed the WRT54G Wireless router on my desktop and...

    I installed the WRT54G Wireless router on my desktop and have been using the internet on that pc and my laptop (wirelessly) for a few months.  Last week I uninstalled Norton Internet Security and installed ESET Smart Security.  Now my desktop cannot get to the internet and the advisor says it does not detect a router.  But my laptop says it's connected to my network and I am able to use the intenet on it.  The router itself has all of the correct connecions and the appropiate lights are lit.  Could the ESET Smart Security Software have messed up my router firmware.  Please advise.

    there seems to be consistant issues with Linksys routers according to all the posts ive been reading for the past month while i try to fix my on and off again internet connection.  its becomming very annoying.  i have asked my cable company to replace my modem, which they did and that didn't even help.  last year i bought a new linksys router thinking it would solve my problem back then.  it did for a while, then my lap top wouldn't connect any, so i sent it into have it checked and it came back with no problems.  soooooooooo apparently, while i am connected to my neighbors open connection from his BELKIN ROUTER and even though the signal is very weak............amazingly enough!! i am still online while typing this.......funny eh?? WELL........it seems to me......that i guess i wont be buying linksys anything anymore.  Especially after spending hours on the help line (INDIA) trying to reset channels and reset the router box itself.  i give up.......i  have 2 pieces of crap routers for sale cheap......any takers?  dont waste your time

  • Z68A-G43(g3) issues with the Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 6000

    Hello,
    we've buils a new PC with the MSI Mainboard Z68A-G43(G3) and the PC hangs on the start with the code 92. We noticed that the issue is caused by some USB device. After many tests we found out that when the MicroSoft Wireless Keyboard 6000 v2 is connected to the computer, it stops to start.
    The keyboard is connected through the Microsoft Wireless Desktop Receiver 3.1 to the USB, which is used to connect the mouse as well.
    I'd like to use the kb + mouse set, how can I fix the issue.
    Also, I tried to update BIOS via the Live Update, and it's not working, the BIOS download fails.
    Any help is welcome.
    Regards,
    Michal

    The BIOS is 4.10.
    Also I forgot one note, the KB is working, but only when it's connected alone. When we connect to USB port another device (Flash Drive, USB Wireless, ...) the PC won't start. When the KB is removed, the PC starts without any problem.
    Also another note, when the KB was connected and the Zyxel Wireless PCI adapter was connected, PC doesn't start, when KB is disconnected, PC starts.
    So there seems to be some issue with the MS device.
    Regards,
    Michal

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless Networking with LINKSYS WRT54GS wireless router

    I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless printer conneted via WiFi to my LYNKSYS WRT54GS wireless router.  I do not have a USB cable or ethernet cable plugged to the printer.  I am able to use the 'scan to email button' and the 'scan to network folder' button on the front of the printer and I can pint from the PC to the printer with no problems.
    I installed the HP printer software from the CD, choosing network/wireless connection, without having to install any USB cables from the PC to the printer in the process.  many posts in the forum mention having to connect USB cables in the wireless installation process.
    Can I install the software in the same fashion on the other two laptops? Or, do I need to do something differently?

    The USB cable is used on those printers which do not have display or front panel wireless setup is not possible. We configure the wireless settings during install and save those settings in printer's memory by transferring through USB cable. Therefore the USB is plugged in during wireless installation temporarily. In your case I don't think plugging in USB cable is necessary as the printer is already on network and had IP address. Connect the laptops on wireless network and proceed with regular install, the printer should be detected automatically.

  • ISSUE With my WRT600N Wireless Router --

    Hello, I am having trouble with my Wireless Router. It is the WRT600N model Linksys Router and the issue I am specifically having is my wireless access. I have several devices which access wirelessly and am starting to have more and more issues of late, not sure why...?
    I was wondering how to configure each device accessing my wireless net individually as I have Network MAgic asnd have seen a couple of the items on my network with the same ip addresses. I would like to assign a number to each device and see if that eliminates the issues I have been experiencing..?
    I have looked through these question pages and have not found the answer I was looking for so I hope this has not been asked before. I also saw a post that kind of caught my interest and it was regarding using two WRT600N's routers together for better range etc. I have an issue with raqnge on my system and have an old WRT54 Router and would like to know if I could do the same thing with this and incorporate this router into my system as a wireless access point (WAP) only. If this is possible, what would the steps be to accomplish this...
    My main issue I chose to writer about here was recently experienced when I got an Ipad and my Ipad has issues remaining connected to my WRT600N Router and I checked my network program and noticed that it was assigned the samw IP address as one of my boys X-Boxes. I believe currently we have approximately 9-11 devices that periodically connect wirelessly to my network. Some devices are PSP's and only occassionally connect and I have NEVER seen all the devcices connect at the same time. I believe the max at once would be approximately 5-6 devices.  Is this too many at once...?  Is the router overloaded with the amount of devices I have connected...?
    Please let me know what you would recommend for my situation,

    2 wireless routers can not communicate wirelessly with each other.
    You need to connect cable between 2 routers and use the second wireless router as access point.
    Follow this link to connect Linksys router to another router.
    Some of your devices are getting same IP address. This might be the issue with DHCP server of the router. You can try DHCP reservation on the router so that each device will get unique IP address.

  • Having recent connectivity issues with AirPlay, it won't connect with Apple devices when promptedi have had no problems with AirPlay from my tablet until recently. I bring up the AirPlay button on my tablet, ipad 3, and I see the AirPlay button. I pl

    i recently have been problem with my AppleTV. I select the AirPlay button on my ipad3 and select AppleTV below my iPad selection. The tablet thinks for a little bit, about 5 seconds, and then gives up, deselecting the AppleTV button and refreshing automatically to display on my tablet. My spouse has the same issue at the same time with her ipad air. All software is up to date and re verified wifi. The AppleTV can still stream from its internal apps. Seems like the only problem is AirPlay.
    any ideas to fix this problem?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.
    If you are still having problems, the following article(s) may help you.

  • Is anyone else having charging connection issues with their generation 4 ipad?

    My generation 4 ipad is having charging connections.  When I plug it in to charge with the charger that came with it, the part that connects right to the actual ipad is not always connecting.  Sometime I have to wiggle it around or angle it until I hear the sound of connection and can see on the screen that it is actually charging.  Sometimes I will charge it and when I leave it is in charge mode but when I come back to check on it, it never charged at all. Is anyone else having this problem or know what might be wrong?  I would think a brand new ipad wouldn't have a charging problem right out of the box.

    Hi gruhland,
    Thanks for your reply.  It sounds like your device is actually in a restart loop, which is different from the process of a soft reset.  Specifically, what I wanted you to try is this:
    Resetting your device
    If your device stops responding, you can reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If resetting does not break the restart loop, it sounds like a different direction may be warranted here. Due to the nature of your issue you may find more assistance by using another one of Apple's support resources:

    Take care,

  • I am having ongoing connection problems with the Clash of Clans app which means that I lose battles, resources or boost times. This results in a loss of gems which I have purchased but will not be refunded as they will not accept responsibility.

    Whilst playing Clash of Clans I will continually lose the internet connection. This means that I lose battles, resources, gold etc and lose boost times. I have informed Supercell who blame my internet connection even though the iPhone, laptop and TV all work fine so it is obviously a technical problem with their game and probably something to do with their last updates.
    As I have purchased gems I feel that I should be compensated for my loss but they will not accept responsibility nor investigate the technical issue. The loss of connection occurs constantly with the game often freezing during replays or searching for battles. This is obviously not a connection issue.
    What suggestions do you have to resolve this situation?

    Hi.
    Thanks for the reply. I asked because I also wanted to see if others had encountered the same problem.
    I have no problems with my internet connection as I run my TV, laptop and iPhone off the same connection with no problems. I believe that since the recent updates to the game this has caused the problem. The game often freezes, cancels out or returns me to the main game screen during battles or replays.
    What I want to know is how do I get the game designers or owners to acknowledge my problem as at this time they keep telling me it is my internet that is a problem and not their game. How do they know this when they refuse to investigate. What can I do and who do I go to for support if they won't accept responsibility?
    I am very grateful to you for replying but concerned that if this can happen to me then how many other gamers are losing out and paying for something that they are not going to receive.
    Many thanks.

  • Having a connectivity issue with bluetooth in car only when using siri

    Does anyone know of a fix for connectivity issues when using siri to dial a number when using bluetooth in a car? If the number is inputted manually then the call goes through. When asking siri to make the call, it starts to go through but then quickly disconnects. I noticed the problem soon after downloading IOS 8.

    Apple has no fix for this.  I have been in contact with Apple customer service, engineering, etc. for over 2 months now.  Very disappointing, as it worked fine prior to iOS 8.0.
