How setup a WRT54G2 Wireless Router to connect to a SmartPhone to Retrieve E-Mail

I have a new WRT54G2 Wireless Router and I can Surf the Web on my Smartphone via the Router but I am unable to retieve my E-Mail like I used to do with my old Wireless Router.
Anyone know what setting I need to change on the WRT54G2 Wireless Router?

Hi Richard,
Welcome to the community forum!
Did you check the mail setup in your smartphone to see if anything changed? Check if the incoming and outgoing mail servers are correct.
A software update might have reset the settings.
If all looks good in the smartphone mail setup, do you recall if you had to open ports in the old router to make email work?

Recently moved and installed ATT DLS - I use their wireless router and connectted my airport express - Now I'm getting the Blue ? on some images

Recently moved and installed ATT DLS - I use their wireless router and connectted my airport express - Now I'm getting the Blue ? on some images - and at times - videos don't load. I've increased / deleted Cache. Suggestions? Misconfig? Could it be possible my configuration from MacBook to router isn't correct?
Thanks!

JG,
Thanks for the info.
Couple of questions. I found an apple support document on this topic that opened with this line:
"AirPort Express and all AirPort Extreme base stations can use WDS. Earlier AirPort base stations can't."
If the TC is an airport extreme base station, why can't this work to extend the network? I think I misunderstand. Here is the full article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2044?viewlocale=en_US
If I buy a new airport extreme, set it to wireless-n only as my main router, am I correct that my existing time capsule could be used as a bridge if plugged in upstairs?
Final question (and that should do it), could I take this old airport express, plug it in upstairs using the ethernet connection, and just create a separate wireless network to use with a different name?
I'd like to keep one network if possible but just kicking around short term solutions.
Thanks again.

Wrt54g2 wireless router--unable to establish connectivity

I have to unplug/replug my router powercord connection every time i want to use my laptop to access the internet. i have reinstalled the software disc that came with my router. i have have comcast check my modem--no problems. any suggestions? do i need a new router?

If that is the case then you can try the following steps:
# Open up the browser and on the address bar type 192.168.1.1 that will open up the Router setup page…
# Click on Wireless Tab and make the wireless channel to 6, 9 or 11. (These are considered to be the best)…
# Click on the Advanced Wireless Settings change Beacon Interval to 75, Fragmentation Threshold to 2306, RTS Threshold to 2307...
# After doing these settings check for the connectivity….
Also, make sure that you do not have any interfering devices like Microwaves and cordless phones near the wireless router. These devices work on the same frequency as that of the router works…

Who is your Internet Service Provider(ISP)?
If you have a cable connection then follow this link and if you have a DSL connection then follow this link to configure your router.

How to setup netgear N150 wireless Router to apple tv ?

Hooking up/configuring a WRT54G2 wireless router to my wired modem/router.

Problem description: I have bought a wireless router (Linksys WRT54G2) in order to connect it to my ADSL2+ modem/router (a TP-Link TD8840) to provide wireless internet access to my iPhone and laptop. I only intend to power on the wireless router when I need it, not have it on all the time wasting electricity.
Attempted fixes: Configuring the WRT54G2 per the install CD, but this appears to mean I must have my wireless router always powered on in order to access the internet even when I'm not using the wireless. Ideally I just want to turn on the wireless router as and when I need it.
Operating system: Windows XP Pro (32-bit) SP3.
So, as my description says, I bought a WRT54G2 so I can browse the web on my iPhone using my DSL connection rather than the cellular (3G) network. I currently have the WRT54G2 plugged in from one of its four ethernet ports to an ethernet port on my wired modem/router. The IP of my modem/router is 192.168.1.1, which also appears to be the default ip for the WRT54G2 So I can't access my WRT54G2's admin screen to properly set up the network.
At this point I feel as if I should reset the WRT54G2 to factory settings and start from scratch, but I lack a coherent set of instructions to point me on my way. It's a bit frustrating because I'm pretty good with computers generally, but networking obviously is not my thing. Can anyone please help

Hi modeski,
To setup your WRT54G2 router and make it work with your modem/router there, chnage first the IP of the WRT54G2 from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.2.1 before you connect it to the modem/router.
In other words, you are cascading two routers.
Hope this help!

Help setup G5 to wireless router

My very first Mac ... 4 year old G5 and I just got it home. I beleive it came with the Airport Express plug in device which have no idea how to set it up. I read the specs on it and apparently it has built in wireless capability so I'm assuming there no need to go out and buy a wireless USB card to see my router .. again I am assuming here. Ok, so I have the G5, the Airport plug in Express gadget .. now how to I setup this computer for wireless networking? I already have a router that's being used for my 2 Windows PC'S but there are empty ports to it. Help please on this subject would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The AirPort Express is a small wireless router, so it is not required to use the iMac. The iMac itself should have built-in wireless at 802.11g speed, although it may have been optional in the oldest iMac G5 models.
If your router does not have wireless, you can use the AirPort Express to add that wireless capability. Then, you should be able to connect to it from the iMac (as well as any other computer with wireless). That's probably how the previous owner used it; I had that setup a few years ago.
But first, to test your iMac initially, you should connect it directly to your router with an Ethernet cable. Make sure the cable is at least rated Cat-5e to ensure best possible speed. Once you have it working as desired wired, you can make it wireless.
Please ask more specific followup questions.

RG54G2 Wireless Router Internet Connection Problem

Hi,
(apologies for the long message - trying to cover all details - summary: wireless router often drops internet connection)
I recently bought an RG54G2 Wireless Router, a CB54G2 PCMCIA Wireless card and a D-Link GWL-630 PCMCIA Wireless card. In addition to two laptops connected to the wireless router WLAN, I have two PCs (one Win WP Pro SP 1 and one Win98SE) connected to the router via wired LAN. I also have a SurfBoard SB3100 Cable Modem connected to the WAN port (this connects to my ISP - Optusnet (Australia) via DHCP).
The problem I have is that the internet connection is disconnected many times a day (often every few minutes, sometimes an hour or so). I am able to reconnect by resetting the wireless router via the wireless router configuration page. When the internet is disconnected I am still able to access the computers on the LAN/WLAN (via Windows Explorer and Ping), I am also able to ping the router and the Cable Modem, but nothing outside of the cable modem.
Also, when the internet is disconnected the System Status page indicates that the router is still connected to the internet, and the Diagnostics page passes the Test Connection test, though no external pings work.
I did not have this problem when the cable modem was connected directly to the Win98SE PC (and other PCs via ICS).
I have disabled the WLAN and the problem still exists with only the wired LAN.
I have changed numerous settings in the wireless router config page with no success (eg disabling DHCP and setting each IP address, minimising LAN and WLAN speeds to 10 and 11MBps plus others).
I have upgraded the wireless router firmware to R1.0.6.0 (no change to the problem).
Searching on Google I have found several other cases of routers with unstable internet connections (none refering to the MSI routers), but none had solutions that helped my situation (most replies suggested updating the firmware).
Any suggestions of how to make the router internet connection stable?
Thanks,
Mike

maybe this is the FIX 4 wireles router internet connection problem
please let me know if any one fix the problem with this tips
thankz

Subject: SOLUTION to my router loosing connection to Windows XP
Reply | Reply to Author | Forward | Print | Individual Message | Show original | Report Abuse
I am happy to report that after 8 days of constant battles, reboots, phone
calls, cable pulling, router changing, it seems that I finally have found a
combination that has had me using Verizon DSL account for over 12 hours so
far without any kind of interruptions.
Since so many of you tried giving me comments and suggestions, I felt that
it is necessary for me to post this here so that the next person will not
(hopefully) need to go through this hell as I did!
My original problem was that when after I purchased a D-Link Wireless Router
DI-624, I would get disconnected from Verizon DSL at least once every 2
hours or so. My internet access would "freeze" and then a little popup box
at the bottom right system tray would tell me that the "LAN cable has been
unplugged". After about a minute or so, my internet connection would be
back working This was NEVER happening during the 2+ years I was using my
Westell modem alone (running in router mode).
Please keep in mind: The problem I was having was not wireless related as
it was happening to the desktop computer to which the router/westell was
connected to!
During these last 8 days, I tried: one DI-624 wireless router, two Netgear
614v3 routers and two Linksys WRT54G v.2 routers. In addition, I received a
brand new Westell 2200 modem from Verizon. I also tried about four
different CAT-5 cables. Here is the final outcome:
I have the Linksys WRT54G (version 2) wireless router connected to the
Netgear Fast Ethernet FA310TX network card in Auto-Sense mode (using the
built-in XP drivers, as Netgear told me that there was never a newer
revision released). I have DISABLED the built-in 3Com Gigabit LOM (3C940)
network card (via the ASUS P4C800 Deluxe motherboard BIOS), DISABLED the
Zero Wireless Configuration service, and have put in the IP/Gateway/DNS
address numbers inside my Windows XP Network Connections | LAN setup. My
operating system is Windows XP Pro SP1 and the modem is a Westell 2200
configured as bridge only.
If my situation continues to be stable, I *might* try to go back to the 3Com
built-in card (disable any power management) and then re-enabling the Zero
Wireless Configuration services. But in reality, I am happy with the way
things are and have already spent enough time trying to get my router to
work with Verizon DSL without having it drop connections!
Now, the next step will be setting up the WIRELESS part of this. I don't
even yet have a laptop with me on the premises, but the 802.11g card that I
already have is the D-Link DWL-G650. I hope and assume that this will work
okay with the Linksys...
One thing I must say is that I never realized that how many problems other
users are having. I would have thought that since 802.11x has been around
in the mainstream by now 2+ years, that things would have been much more
"system friendlier". And again, my issues were not even WIRELESS related.
All 3 tech supports were not really helpful, as none of them realized that
the problem is somehow between the router and Windows XP (Ethernet card?)
loosing a connection, which of course results in Verizon DSL loosing the
connection also.
One other comment about the Netgear 614 v.3 router: A number of people have
responded to tell me that they have had this random "router resetting"
happen to them (where the routers behaves as if someone turned the power off
and then back on, and the lights flash) just as if you first turn it on). I
was lucky to witness it myself during one of the "disconnects" that I had.
This was actually the reason why I went back to try the Linksys one more
time. So, I would definitely recommend staying way from this 614 (version
3) model.
Once again - THANK YOU everyone!

Officejet 6500 and wireless router not connecting

I just purchased an Officejet 6500 and trouble trying to connect it to my wireless router. Each time I try to connect the printer by wireless it locks up. The power button is not lit, but the screen is lit with no text. At this stage I cannot shut it down or get it operating again. I'm running Vista Business 64-bit and the router is a 2wire 1800HG through AT&T. It runs fine with a usb connection.
Thanks in advance. John
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I think you've just run into a known problem with some HP network printers with 2WIRE AT&T DSL routers.
We've identified the problem and will deploy an update sometime in the future. Until then, the work around is to assign a static IP address to the printer. Here's one way to do this:
Unplug he telephone line from the 2WIRE router
Turn the power off on the 2WIRE router, wait 30 seconds, then turn the power back on.
Go through the normal process of connecting the printer to the 2WIRE device (Ethernet or Wi-Fi). The printer will not crash as long as the telephone line is disconnected from the 2WIRE device.
From the Officejet's front panel, access the "Advanced Setup" menu under "Network"
Select "IP Settings", acknowledge the warning and select "Manual IP Address"
Select "IP Address" and change the last IP address group (octet) to something higher or lower. Specifically for your 2WIRE router, select 192.168.0.60.
Press Ok and plug in the telephone line into the 2WIRE router.
Steps 4, 5 and 6 can be done from the printer's internal web page (under the Network tab) and it might be easier than the front panel on the 6500. To get to the internal web page, you browse to the printer's IP address which you can find by printing the Network Configuration.

How do I put wireless router on new computer?

I ahve the wireless G router connected to a computer. as my hub sort of speak. I need to change that computer out for a new one then reconnect the wireless router to the new computer, I have lost all neccassary drivers to recconnect router to new computer?

all you need to do is to reconfigure the router again if you wanna use only the other computer, but if your computer is working already with your old computer all you need to do is add up your new computer. whether it's wired or wireless...

WRT54G2 - Allow router to connect to wireless network wirelessly

Setup:
WRT54G connected to DSL modem in one room. The desktop is in another room about 15 feet away but receives weak signal. The WRT54G2 is wired to the desktop.
I want to get my desktop to connect to the internet by the 54G2. I have been looking around everywhere and every thing says inorder to get cascading routers, you have to connect the routers together with an ethernet cable. Is there a way to do this without wiring the routers together i.e., wirelessly?
Each router has a different IP address and the secondary one (the 54G2) has its DHCP server disabled.
Thanks.

It is not possible with the linksys firmware installed in it.However,you may try installing the dd-wrt firmware which has such feature to make your router work as an wireless access point.You can check www.dd-wrt.com
Note-Installing the 3rt part firmware will void the warranty period of your router.

Linksys WRT54G2 Wireless Router

Is there any reason why a cat 5e ethernet cable will not work with the subject router?
Another way of asking the question, does the cable transmission speed have to be compatible with any "speed" limit associated with this router?

Hi raedell. CAT 5e or Category 5e cable, according to some networking sites, provides performance of up to 100 MHz and is suitable for 10Base-T, 100Base-TX (Fast Ethernet) and 1000Base-T (Gigabit Ethernet). Your speed depends on how much speed your ISP gave you. It will only depends on the router you'll connect your computer to the said router using an Ethernet cable. Say for example, if your ISP gave you fast internet connection speed and your computer has a Gigabit LAN card but you're using WRT54G2. What will happen is that, you can't take advantage of the fast Gigabit speed since router can only provide maximum of 100Mbps wired connection speed. However, if your router is properly configured, then using CAT 5e cable to the said router, should work.

Best wireless router to connect ipad air and windows xp

I am trying to find the best router to use in an old house with plaster walls. I am currently using a Windows XP desktop and have received a new i-pad air as a gift. I'd like to use the tablet downstairs ; the desktop is upstairs. Does anyone have a similar experience?

I don't believe that salespeople at Apples store said that Apple routers and other peripherals are 'at least 50% over-priced.' They aren't going to risk their jobs by telling someone that. It's also untrue.
When you buy an Apple router, you don't just get a router. You get a level of product polish and support that you don't get elsewhere. Your get a router that has been tested and optimized to work with Apple hardware. And, after dealing with Netgear and it's abandonware model of firmware (if your router is not current production, you almost certainly won't get a firmware upgrade no matter how bad the problems), and then DD-WRT firmware, which is a huge, steaming mass of unresolved bugs, I know very well what I'm talking about.
You just came to this thread to crap on Apple. The person requested a recommendation for the best router and you didn't provide one.

Problem with Linksys WRT54G2 Wireless Router

My ipod sees the linksys wireless connection, it has a lock icon but doesn't ask for the Shared Key i have the security set to WAP, why is this?

Welcome to the Linlsys Forums, please follow the steps below to gain access to your Wireless Network.
Step 1
Tap on the "Settings" icon.
Step 2
Select "WiFi" from the menu.
Step 3
Slide the "WiFi" tab to the "On" position.
Step 4
A selection of wireless networks will appear below. If the network has a lock icon next to it, then you will need the password for that network in order access it. If there is no lock icon, then that connection is public, and you will be able to access it.
Step 5
Click on the network that you want to access, and the ipod will connect to that network whenever you are in its range. Remember that a password might be needed to gain access to that network.
Note: If you are sure that you are within a wireless network range, but do not see it when you access the WiFi menu, you can manually enter the access information by clicking on the "Other" tab.
Have a nice day and I hope this helped.

Connecting a wireless router to my existing cable modem

Hi, I am trying to figure out how to network a wireless router (Actiontec GT704WG) for my girlfriend's Dell laptop to what I currently have, a cable modem connected to my iMac. Can anyone help with this? I'm a novice to setting up any network connections.
Thanks,
Chris

I'm not an expert, but when I got my wireless router (a Netgear), I had to call my ISP (Comcast) after I connected the router to the modem via ethernet cable so their equipment/servers would recognize it.
My connections are:
wall -> modem (cat 5);
modem -> router (ethernet);
router -> iMac (ethernet - my choice; could be wireless);
and router -> wireless to laptop (which could be your GF's Dell).
You will also most likely need to configure and set up your router online since most of them do not include automatic setup software for Macs. You should be able to find the instructions in the owners' manual and/or setup guide. It's quite simple to do.
