Help! Vista connection Problem WRT54G2

I was connecting to the Internet through my wireless router for the last month without any problems. I was using the default SSID of linksys. I decided to change the SSID to make it unique to my house. I went 192.168.1.1 and changed my SSID name. As soon as I did that my wireless connection went down, not to my surprise. I searched for my new SSID name in order to connect and found it. I tried to connect to that SSID and could not connect. I have used a pen to reset the router in order to return to the default settings. I simply can not connect to the Internet in Vista through the WRT54G2. It is not my ISP either because I can connect directly from my cable modem to my computer. I believe there is a conflict in settings some where between vista and the router. I dont know where though. Please help this is driving me crazy!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Since you have already Resetted your Router, then your Router is back to the Factory Defaults.... To make all your Computers go online through the Router you need to re-configure all the settings back on your Router....
If your Internet Service Providor is Cable follow this link
If your Internet Service Providor is DSL follow this link
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...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 : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select TKIP...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

This example can be run without specifying a TNSNAME connection string, as the oci8 jdbc driver will default to the localhost. OR - Specifying the only the TNSNAME is required, i.e. edit %ORACLE_HOME%\network\ADMIN\TNSNAMES.ORA file and locate the XXXXX.WORLD entry in the file. This is the TNSNAME entry referred to.
Try re-running this as follows (with no TNSNAME entry at all):
%ORACLE_HOME%\jdbc\demo\samples\oci8\basic-samples> java JdbcCheckup
Please enter information to test connection to the database

Please help! connection problems

ok I've been working on this for several hours now and can't figure it out. I just moved back home and my connection was working some yesterday but I can't get it to work anymore.
It says I'm connected but it won't receive any packets. I changed the SSID name and removed the old SSID's. I reinstalled my wireless pci card drivers and switched pci slots. I updated the router's firmware (it's WRT54G). I changed Advanced Wireless Settings as suggested: Beacon Interval: 50; lowered Fragmentation and RTS threshholds by 40 each. I switched the router to channel 11.
I've tried repairing the connection many times (some times it works, most times it won't renew IP address); I've also reset the router many times.
My computer skills are intermediate but certainly not advanced. I can't directly connect it to the modem via cable b/c I don't have the necessary hardware (modem card?). I talked to tech support and I was able to "ping yahoo.com," google, etc successfully but it just won't receive packets...Please help!

The best thing to do at this point is to go back over setting up the wireless security settings again and make sure that while you are setting up these settings that you connect an Ethernet cable from that computer to the router then perform a power cycle
You need to remove the power cable from the Linksys router, then remove the power cable from the modem, wait about 60 seconds, then plug in the modem, then plug in the Linksys router. Wait about 3 minutes while the modem and router sync back up. Once all light are back on,disconnect the ethernet cable and now try to connect.
Here are instructions to follow if you need them
Setting up your wireless connection in your router.
*** Step #5 = you can choose the type of encryption that fits your set-up, the example I give is: WPA/TKIP+AES
***Also Pay close attention to the security and security key information and make sure it matches. (What is entered in the router must be entered in the computer.
1.Open Internet Explorer and type 192.168.1.1 into the address bar.
2.You will now get a sign-in box, User Name = (Leave Blank)
                                                       Password = admin (all lower case letters)
3.Once the set-up page opens, click on the Wireless Tab as youwill need to change the settings. A) Wireless Network Mode = Mixed
              B) Wireless Network Name (SSID) = Choose any name and do not use Linksys.
              C) Wireless Channel = 1, 6 or 11 is best, so see which work best for you.
              D) Wireless SSID Broadcast = Enabled.
4. Now go to the bottom of the page and click on save settings.
5. Click on the Wireless Security Sub tab.
              A) Security Mode: WPA
              B) WPA Algorithms: TKIP + AES
              C) WPA Shared Key: Type 24 letters, and numbers using lower and upper case letters
              D) Group Key Renewal: 3600
6. Once again go to the bottom of the page and click on Save Settings.
7. Now you can close out of this page.
8. You will now need to enter the security info into your computer. I will now give you 2 links, depending which operating system you have, Vista or XP you will follow the one you have.
Vista = http://www.home-network-help.com/wireless-adapter-configuration-in-vista.html
XP = http://www.home-network-help.com/wireless-adapter.html
Now try to make a wireless connection.
Good Luck,

Help please, connectivity problem

Hello, I recently purchased an E2000. In generally it works great when I am online. However, I am having a big problem. There are a couple of webpages, or games, that I would like to remain connected to at all time.
When I idle for 15 or more minutes the router drops the conection, however, when I unplug the router and connect straight to the modem I do not have this problem. I am running through a cable modem, road runner service. Any idea how to keep the connection alive?
I appreciate your help.

Are you getting the problem on the wired computer or on the wireless computer...?

Some help with connection problems

Hi,
I'm having trouble at home with a wireless internet connection:
My macbook can detect and see an internet connection, and my network settings claim I am connected to the internet.
But all programs (MSN, Safari, and so on) that use the internet cannot connect, and tell me I am not connected to the internet.
How do I fix this problem?
It happens pretty frequently - around once every three weeks or so.

I am curious how you fixed this...I am having the same problems and can't figure out why??

I recently had the same problem following the 10.4.4 update, and was told by DW tech support that there were a number of reported issues with the DW 8.0.1 update. If you're using that you might try rolling back to 8.0. Also, watch out when deleting the DW8 files before reinstalling. There were prefs all over the place: /Library/Preferences, /Library/Application Support, ~/Library/Preferences and ~/Library/Application Support, possibly others. FWIW my problem ultimately was traced to an illegal (for DW, not OSX) character in a recently renamed HD. It was weird, 'cause I had no trouble with DW7, Transmit or Fetch, just DW8.

Vista connection problem to a wireless network with Linksys BEFW11S4 ver.4 router

I've purchased a laptop with Vista and can't get it to connect to my existing wireless network. I have a Linksys BEFW11SF ver.4 router. When I attempt, I get, "Wireless connection failed because the network denied the association request from this computer." Anyone? Thanks.

Not sure about the Error ....but you can change the wireless settings on the router & see if it connects or not ....

Please help with connection problem!

Hi people,
I am trying to use Siemens Speedstream 4200 modem to connect to the internet using its ethernet port. It is connected via USB to my wife's HP Pavillion DV9000 laptop (Win XP)and works fine with that. Almost all hardware in Brazil where I live does not support mac, so I'm not sure if the modem is made only for PC. I imagine that's unlikely. I have tried using both a simple direct ethernet connection to my mac as well as via my airport base station (which I initialised) but to no avail.
My airport is connected and has the IP address 10.0.1.2. I have also checked 'set serice order' to make sure the correct method of connection is at the top of the list. Do I need to find out some of the PC's network info to apply to my mac's setup?
Please, any help most appreciated as I need to connect for my work.
Thanks! Ben

1st the technology is the same worldwide, and it is not restricted to Mac only or Pc only the technology works on all compuuters irreguardless of the manufacture.
Turn off the Modem you are using and the same with the Airport Base.
Plug the ethernet into the Speedstreme Modem and into the Airport Router start the Modem first and wait a minute and then do the same to the Airport Base.
If your wifes PC is wireless it should connect as well as the Mac.
Get the Mac working first. The Pc should connect as well as the Mac either way with Ethernet or Wireless, if she has a wireless card in her's.
Don't be afraid to consult the paperwork that came with the Airport, or Airport Extreme Base.

Windows vista connection problems

Just got a new Vista OS and tried to connect to the Linksys WRT54G wireless router using a internal wirless card. I connected using the windows program and entered the WEP key and it said it was connected, although its not showing up on the network nor does it connect to the internet. Every other computer in the house works fine but that one. What am I doing wrong?

hi... on the computer, go to control panel >> metwork & sharing center >> manage wireless n/w try removing existing wireless network profile from the computer..try creating n/w profile manually...also try upgrading latest firmware on the router...check whether it works or not and let me know.

HELP! Connection problem.

It keeps saying I cant connect to the music stores and gives me error 9808. What should I do?

hmmmm. sometimes, the error message numbers in the 9800-range indicate that there is an issue with the connection at the home-network end of things. (that's more common with something like a 9812, though.)
if you power-cycle your router (or cable modem) does the 9808 go away?

The device will not sync though the cable. You will need to setup a Bluetooth sync to the device.

Help network connecting problems for netflix

We have been having issues trying to watch Netflix with our Sony blueray player with our apple wireless airport extreme. It will work fine for days, then halfway through a movie all of a sudden everything quits. When we try to reconnect the network won't reconnect. It used to work fine and the only difference is we got a new Samsung Television. I called Time Warner and they say its Netflix fault. Netflix says its Time Warners fault. I don't know because occasionally it works fine. Any suggestions?

Just try reboot ur router sound like hav only limit signals release only working other laptops not to apple so do this first.......take off both cables from back of ur router power and internet and then put back after 15 sec and then check ur apple products is working.

Unending connectivity problems -- and Desktop Help...

I'm wasting so much time on connectivity problems that it's positively wearying. Prior to the installation of BT Infinity here in April, I had a low quality broadband service because of the length of the line from the exchange: if I could get a download speed of 1.2Mbps and an upload of a quarter of that, I was doing well.
BT advised that thanks to fibre optic, my Internet should run much faster. So we had Infinity installed. I'm registered with Speedtest.net so am able to see my performance record.
The average download speed is now aroun d 6Mbps and the average upload, more than that at 7Mbps. How an upload speed can consistently be faster than a download escapes me.
But I'm not familiar with the ways of Internet connectivity and try as a I might, can't get my head around it.
This desktop computer runs Vista OS. Vista was **bleep** when it came out and is renowned for its botched handling of Internet connections. So I'm not blaming BT for the literally unending connectivity problems that are occurring now, with line drops, speeds slowing to a crawl, and no guarantee that any connection will last. But it would be good to actually use BT software to help fathom out what's going wrong here, and today's typical morning which looks like this:
1) Boot up computer. Automatic connection to hub via Netgear USB wireless adapter. Hub is on ground floor of this 3-storey property but signal strength from hub is excellent, as confirmed by inSSIDer monitoring, currently showing 54 with no other networks anywhere near that figure.
2) Perhaps 5 minutes after connection established, it's then lost. 'Local Only' is displayed. This is, apparently, a known Vista problem. But Microsoft has issued a fix for it. I know this, because it took 100 hours of ploughin g the Net to find out that MS had finally admitted to one more Vista screw-up. I've used the Microsoft router "fix it" before and it didn't work ("failed to process") so uninstalled it and have DL'd it again now and run it. This time it says it has fixed everything.
3) Computer is re-booted to make the fix effective. Computer connects to Internet. Speedtest.net check yet again confirms that upload speed is faster than download speed.
4) Connection dies. So much for Microsoft Fix It.
5) Windows diagnostics reports that it can re-set the IP profile (or something.) I click yes. The re-set goes through. Connectivity is restored. 10 minutes later, connectivity is lost. Just a red X in the tray. No connection of any kind, not even that daft 'Local Connection' only alert.
6) Reboot. Yet again. BT Desktop Help was installed here and ran OK when we were using our Netgear DSG34 router. But since the change to the BT Hub, the BT program has never run at all. So-oo. . . It has been uninstalled. And then re-DL'd and re-installed. And though the installation has been completed, clicking on 'launch' has failed to launch anything. But anyway. An hour ago, in one of the brief periods today when the Internet connection was holding up, I Revo-ed out the earlier install, DL'd BT desktop Help and re-installed it. . . and I'm still at the same stage as always, with a Firefox browser page that's open and completely blank and has been for the past 30 minutes. The URL is:
file:///C:/Program%20Files/BT%20Broadband%20Desktop%20Help/btbb/Start.html
Repeated page re-loading gets nowhere. Malwarebytes PRO is turned OFF to prevent any possibility of blocking and the antivirus is termporaily SUSPENDED. This PC runs on Windows standard firewall but even turning that OFF doesn't get the page to load. Copying the address into Internet Explorer in case there's a Firefox problem merely results in Firefox being opened and the same blank page running there.
7) After all that. . . Connection lost yet again and this time, Windows cannot connect at all. It reports that the "wireless network security key is not correct". I happen to know that it is, because this is maybe the 20th time it has reported this in the past 10 days and every time I have to key in the "correct" key all over again. . . at which point Windows still says it isn't correct and cannot repair.
Turning off the computer completely, unplugging from the wall, holding in the power switch for a full minute to clear the circuits, traipsing up and dowen three flights of stairs to turn off the hub, then wait, then turn the power back onm again. . . Ah, wot fun times I'm having here with my particular versioin of Infinity (as in, an infinity of connectivcity problems.)
Summary: I seem to be being simultaneously hit with one issue after another.
I'm bewildered as to why ever since Infinity was installed here, my upload speed is generally faster than my download speed. I'm not happy with endless Internet connection failures though am thinking that Vista is playing a large part here with its "wrong security key" and unending 'Local Only / Limited Connection' failures. I do miss my Netgear router and the ability to access a fantastic help menu and re-boot directly from the desktop without having to keep going up and down three flights of sdtairs to do so (I haven't been able to find out how toe access the BT Hub remotely.)
Above all though: I'm really tired of repeatedly trying to run freshly downloaded and installed BT Desktop Help software but getting no further than a blank page because the program has stalled.
If anyone has any advice / suggestions, other than to buy a carrier pigeon, that'd be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks again to John and gg30340. Here's an update:
1) BT Desktop Help removed completely from this computer. The uninstaller itself mopped up everything, which surprised me. But anyway.
2) Bt Home Hub manager set up and working. Had to input serial number and create new password. All of this sounds fairly easy and would be if one had the device near the desk. But the idiots who built this property shoved the BT master socket inside the garage next to the door. Our two home computers are on the third floor. To ensure the wireless signal strength is OK, the Hub and Infinity module/device/whatever it's called are on a high shelf. It's a major job to even reach the darn things, never mind read the labels seeing as how the BT Infinity engineer was good enough to tidy up the cabling and make a very tight connection to the wall socket.
3) I had hoped to be able to back up the Hub's settings, seeing as the software provides for Advanced Settings / System / Backup. But not on mine (Hub 3.0). All that System allows is choosing which internet clock to define the accurate time. Everything else in System is just a pattern of short lines as if trying to indicate that there's some text there but it's invisible.This is now my second encounter with BT software which, for whatever reason, isn't functioning as it should on this PC.
4) Hub reset to factory fresh, according to BT guide.
5) Reset appears to have achieved nothing apart from requiring the password to be popped in again. After reset, it wasn't even possible to connect to the hub manager. Internet connectivity was eventually established for all of 30 seconds and then, gone.
6) Computer was shut down and then booted anew. Internet connectivity is still. . . dreadful. One minute everything's fine and then, literally,. the next minute a webpage won't load. Even opening the Hub Manager has taken three attempts, i.e., disconnecting from the Internet, re-connecting, failing, and trying twice more until success. Yet all the time these failures are occurring, the tray icon is showing a steady, unwavering green icon for Local and Internet access -- despite the fact, there manifestly isn't any.
7) Speedtest. net tests are actually showing upload and download 'trajectories' going slower and slower and finally halting at some point on the arc, then after a period of up to 30 seconds, suddenly becoming animated again. Speed test results with broadband speed checker UK and Think Broadband's checker are so at variance with one another, and with Speedtest, net, that it seems all three are using different technologies in pursuit of the same thing. Either way, upload speeds continue to be much, much faster than download speeds, a state of affairs I certainly have never encountered before.
8) Speedtest net tests taken in the past 10 minutes, with one test following on from its predecessor, begin at 8.24 down/8.88 up, followed by 5.24 down / 6.40 up, followed by a mind-numbingly lonnnnng 0.62 down / 8.70 up -- in other words, a continuous yo-yoin g of Internet connectivity to the pooint that it actually might as well not even be here (I've had to make five attempts just to get on to this forum. . .)
9) BT Speedtest will necessitate disconnection of everything downstairs and all boxes being lugged up here. This is actually going to require uncoililng tied-off cabling and hanging off a stepladder to do so -- though I surely can't be the only person in Britain who doesn't have a nice, handy BT master socket in their study or lounge. That said though: until we switched to Infinity, we *never* experienced these kinds of horrendous connectivity problems and never had need to unplug the Netgear router downstairs and bring it upstairs to connect directly to tjhe desktop PC so BT's own test could be run.
I'll just have to get to work dismantling stuff tomorrow. However, I have to say that after a factory re-set which has changed nothing at all, I'm beginning to think there's a problem with the BT line itself (hence why I'm happy to follow the advice here, though less than happy at the prospect of the messing about involved.)
Thanks, you two, for your patient help, and also for clarifying the situation re the three signal paths being shown on inSSIDer. At least I know that's usual now! And now, hopefully, when I press 'Post', I won't be faced with an endlessly spinning Firefox circle culminating in what may well be, or seem to be, the 57,938th time today of seeing "Page Not Found". . .
