Having a problem getting an internet connection through WRT54G at school

I recently purchased a WRT54G router to try and set up a wireless network within my dorm. The internet connection is already being provided by the school itself and comes to me through a box that provides the internet/phone line/and cable. The problem I am having is getting the connection to go through my router. When I plug the router into the unit that is giving my computer the connection currently the router recognizes some sort of connection because the "Internet" light is on. I can't follow the directions of installation exactly because I don't have the actual modem in my room. Any suggestions on how to remedy this problem are welcome.

hi ,
if your computer is connected to linksys router through the wire in that case what u can do is ..
you can swich off your modem and linksys router ...after that swich on only your mode and than wait for the lights to get stable once the lights are stable than swich on the linksys router ..and this should fix your issue
or
if you are connecting to the linksys router wirelessly than connect any of your computer to the linksys router through wire and than on your computer open a internet page and in the address bar type 192.168.1.1 you will get the linksys setup page make the wireless settings and than seacrch for the wireless network on the othe wireless laptop you should find your network than try connecting to that network once u r connected to that network u will be able to go online ..
if still the issue remains same let me know  u r network setup

  • Updating firmware when I can't get an internet connection through the router

    I am trying to update the firmware for WRT54G V8, but some of the instructions indicate I need to have the router connected and be connected to the internet.  I cannot get an internet connection through the router.  Can I upgrade firmware without being connected to the internet through the router.  (I have had this router for about a year and a half with no problems until now.)

    Yes, you can upgrade the firmware without an Internet connection.
    To upgrade the firmware, first download the new firmware into a computer that you can wire to your router.
    Next, power down your entire network.
    Then wire the computer to a LAN port on the router.
    Disconnect all other wires from the router.
    Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    Power up your computer.
    Login to the router, and do the firmware upgrade  (it will likely take several minutes).
    Power down your entire network.
    Next you need to reset the router to factory defaults.
    To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
    1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
    2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
    3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
    5) Power down the router.
    6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
    7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
    9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
    10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
    If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
    If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is likely dead. Report back with this problem
    If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. Report back with this problem.
    If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
    Please let me know how things turn out for you.

  • Suddenly, my MBP Won't get an internet connection through my routers

    I've had my MBP 15" 2.4 for about three months now, and I've never had a problem connecting to the internet. This morning I booted it up, but when I went to get on a wireless connection it would connect, but still say I had no internet. I have two routers in my house - the main one on one side, and my old iMac in my room (my room is too far from the main router to get signal), and the MBP won't get internet from either. However, as you can see by me posting this topic, I'm getting clear internet through the ethernet cable. An error message in connecting to the wireless signal has also appeared a few times. Lastly, my MBP is running very slowly this morning, and there's lots of lag for the track pad.
    At first, I thought it was the main router's problem. But since the iMac's Airport isn't providing internet connection either, it leads me to believe it's something with the MBP. I'm not sure what to do, and I'd greatly appreciate any help I could get.

    Sorry to hear about the signal dropping. I don't have a solution but would like hear if anyone has an idea what's going on.
    My situation is similar. I have an Airport Extreme (n) and the MBP would drop its connection to it randomly. I've gone to pains to change my phone from using any close freq to the wireless.

  • Cant get my KN8 Neo 4 -F to get an internet connection through cable modem.

    I have a full signal since I checked with my other computer. I just built this system and I cant get a connection to the internet. Seems like the LAN isnt working.

    I dont think it's a mobo problem.
    There is something that went wrong setting up the conn.
    Try disabling firewall... both windows and Nvidia
    Open a command window ant type: ipconfig
    Check what u get.
    Is cable connected from modem to pc?
    Are u using router?
    Let us know plz.

  • Internet connection through WRT54GS

    I am moving my linksys router WRT54GS from my desktop with XP to my desktop with vista.  It will not allow me to access internet once I have connected my router.  I have entered cd and done 4 times, so I know it is connected correctly.  Any advice?

    Connect the Modem to the Linksys Router on the Internet Port, then Connect your computer to the Linksys Router on the LAN Port 1. Now on your computer click on Start - RUN - CMD and click OK.... In the Command Prompt window type "ipconfig" and hit enter and note down the "IP address and Default Gateway", By default the default IP address for the Linksys Router is "192.168.1.1", Make sure the IP address on your computer is in the range of your Router.
    Again in the Command Prompt window type "ping Default Gateway IP" and check if you are getting any replies, If yes then you can try to login to the setup page of your Router.... When you ping your router and you get "Request Timed Out" then 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...
    Then again follow the same procedure. Once you are able to login to the Router setup page then you can follow the link as i have mentioned in my previous post and make the changes on your Router. 

  • My macbook air is not getting internet connection through our home wifi It was working fine yesterday until I took the Air out of the house and used it on another wifi connection.

    My macbook air is not getting internet connection through our home wifi.  It was working fine yesterday until I took the Air out of the house and used it on another wifi connection.  One question is how to delete some of the networks that I don't use.  Would too many networks cause the internet connection to fail?
    Thanks.

    Would too many networks cause the internet connection to fail?
    It shouldn't but sometimes deleting the list of networks actually does solve the problem you are describing. Have you turned WiFi off and then back on on the computer?

  • I'm having problems with my internet connection after installing OS X Lion. Is this a known problem or just a local problem?

    I'm having problems with my internet connection after installing OS X Lion. Is this a known problem or just a local problem?
    After +/- 10 to 15min my connection is gone.
    Does anyone have a sollution?

    Lots of people are having the same problem, you're not the only one, belieeeeve me.
    Just Googling the problem gets you tons of people complaining about the same thing, SOMETHING is up with Lion what wasn't happening with Snow Leopard. i just bought a new Imac and it CAME with Lion, so i started experiencing this internet dropout immediately.
    It's been going on for the most of a year it looks like (at least by the dates from the threads i've been reading)
    So your best bet is to fiddle with the System Preferences and read what other people have used to make theirs work. i'm doing that myself right now.  I already posted  a similar thread last night trying to figure out why my connection kept on dropping, i got a reply which linked me to a site. i followed the instructions there, so far so good, but i'm just being cautiously optimistic.
    i'm gonna call Apple today and see if they've found anything, though seeing as this is a problem right out of the box there may not be an immediate solution. Good luck hunting for a solution :3

    What do you mean it did not work!  What were the results of the diagnostic tests?
    Have you contacted your ISP to determine if the problem is on their end?  
    Have you changed your router channel?  Sometimes this resolves wireless problems.
    Your profile confirms you are using Lion.  Check out the following:

  • Problems sharing internet connection through Airport with a PS3

    Does anybody know how to share an internet connection wirelessly with a PS3? I've tried everything including following directions from the tech support people from both Sony and my ISP (Verizon) and nothing works. Last time I've talked to Verizon I've obtained a IP number from them as Sony recommended and that did not work either. Is anybody out there with a PS3 sharing the internet connection through Airport successfully? I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks.!!

  • Can I create a network where the Time Capsule gets its internet connection from my iMac?

    Hi,
    I've recently bought a Time Capsulebut I'm having some problems with it on my university network. It is an Eduroam network, so each computer has to authenticate before it can get an Internet connection – I can't use the Time Capsule normally as it is unable to authenticate to the network. However, I'd like to be able to create a smaller network in my room (with my computer and iDevices on so that I can use Remote and stuff, as well as to potentially get my Xbox and Kindle,which can't connect either, online).
    Last time I did this, I had my iMac create an internet connection which it shared with everything else. (This was before I had the Time Capsule.) One way of solving it seems like it might be to share the Wifi internet connection with the Time Capsule through the ethernet, and then the Time Capsule can share the interent to everything else. Would this be possible? Or can you think of any other way that this could be done?
    In other terms, I have an iMac, a Time Capsule, an iPhone and iPad, a Kindle and an Xbox. Only the iMac can connect to the internet and I'd like them all to be able to, as well as being on the same network. Is this possible?
    Thanks!

    DropBox is another possibility for sharing files and it is free for the first 2GB of storage.

  • WRT54GL internet connection through DHCP

    I'm having problems connecting my modem (D-Link DSL-320B) with my router (WRT54GL).
    If I connect my modem with my PC I have an internet connection. The modem authenticates to my ISP and has an DHCP server running on the LAN port. So far this is the only way I can get an internet connection. I can't use bridge mode because my ISP doesn't support it.
    I want to route my internet traffic through my router (QoS and other stuff).
    On the router I can switch to DHCP on the WAN port. Then the router receives internet IP address, DNS server and so on. I see that on the web interface. The problem is PC's connected to the router have no internet connection.
    The strange thing is that I can't get internet connectivity from the router either. Ping and trace from the router itself can't reach the target, not even the modem.
    Modem (D-Link DSL-320B)
    Connection Type: PPPoA VC-Mux
    IP Address: 212.183.47.126
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.255
    Default Gateway: 62.47.95.239
    Preferred DNS Server: 195.3.96.67
    Alternate DNS Server: 213.33.98.136
    LAN
    IP Address: 192.168.2.1 
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.252 
    DHCP Server: ON 
    Router (WRT54GL)
    Connection Type: DHCP
    IP Address: 212.183.47.126
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.255
    Gateway: 192.168.2.1
    DNS: 195.3.96.67, 213.33.98.136
    Status: Connected
    Router IP Address: 192.168.1.1
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    DHCP: 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.149
    I have read other threads but found no solutions to my problem.
    There are two DHCP server connected after each other but they are in different networks so that shouldn't be a problem.
    I want to handle my router the internet traffic because I want to use QoS and some other stuff.
    Has anybody an idea that to do?

    Thanks for the idea, it just doesn't work.
    I turned of the DHCP on the router and changed the IP address. Also I changed the subnet mask on the modem to 255.255.255.0 to allow more clients.
    As a result PCs don't get an IP address automatically anymore. So I configured the IP manually on my PC.
    Still no internet connection.
    Your solution works if I connect the modem to a LAN port of the router. Then the router is acting as a switch, and all internet traffic is handled by the modem (the modem is also acting as DHCP server for the entire network).
    A working solution but just not the solution I want, sorry (I want my router to handle internet traffic for QoS and some other stuff).

  • Why do i keep getting the "internet connection timeout" error message?

    i have been upgrading a few standard itunes albums to itunes plus versions through my 3g mobile broadband connection, while not exactly a fast process, it was working fine until i started to get a backlog of 3 or 4 albums which were waiting in a queue to be downloaded, now every time i do the "check for downloads" option i get the "internet connection timed out" error message...this has been going on for 2 days! am i right in suspecting the backlog of albums is too much for my 3g mobile broadband connection? this is really doing my head in, if any of you techies could help me, it'd be much appreciated...?

    yes i have recently updated to itunes 8.2.1, but i am starting to think its apple's servers (i tried to download at my brothers house...different computer and connection...same connection timeout error), because it will still let me download an album, but not necessarily all of the tracks. when i questioned itunes customer services about the seemingly hit and miss state of affairs with downloading, they told me to wait 3 weeks before trying to download the tracks that were giving me the grief (2 tracks from an arctic monkeys album)...which kinda indicates they know there is a problem and are trying to fix it, why else would they say wait 3 wks??? they gave me 5 free music tracks too, which is handy.

  • I am having difficulties in maintaining a facetime connection through my ipad.  It will generally work for 20 seconds or so and then the frame freezes. It is difficult to follow our 2 year grandson. Any fixes?

    I am having difficuties in maintaining a Facetime connection through my ipad 2. It will generally work for 20 seconds or so, and then the frame freezes. Sometimes we have audio with a freeze frame picture. It is difficult to maintain the attention of a 2 year grandson anyway, but the the lost connections make it impossible. Any fixes?

    This is a connection problem with wifi.   Either your wifi is failing, or your internet service is not fast enough for video feed.

  • Did you get an Internet connection?

    Hi: I read ur posting, and I have the same exact set-up, ie, same Belkin router, iBook, and PC (Dell), and have a iMac. I cant get the Expander to work with my iBook--like you the airport card picks up the network but I cant get an internet connection. I read thru the thread about firmware update--did you do it and does the Belkin wireless preN router support WDS? Were u able to get it all working? I would like to get mine to work thanks!

    OK, that's interesting. I just tried the download site and got this:
    I tried in Firefox and Chrome.
    I have never had a problem downloading iTunes before, I think it may be a temporary glitch.
    You shoudl probably wait a bit and try again. Meanwhile I will try to find out if there is a known problem.
    However it still might be security software messing up access to the download.
    Added:
    After checking, it appears that others are having the same problem. It has been reported to hosts, so hopefully it will be fixed soon.
