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.

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.

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.!!

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?

Loss of Internet connection through TC after sleep.

I have a Netgear ADSL Wireless modem which is connected to a TC in bridge mode.
So here is what happens, I am connected wirelessly to the TC and can access the internet no problem. I then put the MacBook Pro to sleep, then on waking the MacBook I have no internet connection. But if I select the wireless network of the Netgear I do have an internet connection. The MacBook then at some point reverts back to the TC wireless network and all works OK. I think it reverts back to the TC network after a sleep period.
It does not do this every time but it does it enough to have become annoying.
I presume that on those occasions that I have no internet connection through the TC that this is because the TC is otherwise occupied?
Is there a way to cure this problem?

Hi Larry,
If you go to Control Panel -> Network Connections (For Vista and Windows 7: Network and Sharing Center) -> Double click on your Network Adaptor (Vista and 7: Top left hand corner of the Network and Sharing Center, click on 'Change Adaptor Settings' and double click on your adaptor. Click Properties and scroll down to 'Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP /IPv4), click Properties and make sure that 'Obtain an IP Address automatically' and Obtain DNS server address automatically' are ticked. Click Ok, then OK, then finally close. Check to see if you have connectivity. If you don't, go to start, in Run (Or in the search bar) type 'cmd'. Once Command Prompt opens, type 'ipconfig /flushdns'. Close Command Prompt and check again. If you still don't have Internet connectivity, go to Internet explorer and click Tools -> Internet Options (If you have Internet Explorer 7 or 8, press Alt before looking for tools. This will make the bar appear). Go to the Connections Tab and click on 'Lan Settings'. Make sure that you do not have 'Use a proxy server for your LAN' ticked. Also make sure that you have 'Automatically Detect Settings' ticked. Once you have done this, click Ok, Apply and Ok and check again for connectivity. If this didn't resolve your problem please post back
Sorry for the long answer

Unabl eto share Internet connection through Airport

I have a new Samsung wave S8500. I'm trying to access the internet connection shared by my mac on the airport, everytime i try to connect to my mac through the Wi-Fi on my phone, it doesn't connect. I put a 40 bit WEP Key length on the sharing options. The airport can connect to my other phone which is a Nokia N97, the Samsung is able to connect directly to my friends Router(wi fi) and I'm able to use the net. I'm unable to pin point where the issue is.

First, before I get into too much detail: Is it even possible to set up a WPA2 network directly from the iMac without a separate router?
Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
Despite the fact that WPA2 encryption has existed for years, Apple hasn't seen fit to include that option in its "Internet sharing" feature.

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.

Incredibly slow internet (Connected through airport)

Hey there!
I just got myself a new Macbook around 2 months ago and so far I'm very happy with it. I haven't had any problems except for one.
I'm connected to the internet wireless through Airport and since about a week ago loading web pages is going incredibly slow, whether I use Safari or Firefox. I didn't have this problem before and I didn't change any internet settings. Nothing else changed eigher. I'm still connected to the same network and I didn't install any dodgy programs on my network. Downloading or loading videos doesn't seem to be a problem though. When downloading from a fast server like mac or windows (I know I shouldn't but hey, all my friends use msn ;)) I can easily make the 300 kb/sec. Also waching video's on apple.com/trailers isn't a problem. It's only the loading of web pages or sending e-mails. It sometimes takes up to half a minute to even load google.com. I'm not sure but it might have started after a software update. not at all sure though! Can anybody help me please! Thanks!

Hi Jop, and Welcome to the discussions!
Two things to try first...
Fix Permissions using the Disk Utility, then reboot. or better yet, get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Try putting these in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers:
4.2.2.1
4.2.2.2
Might be better ones for you over there, but worth a try.

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).

Connecting to shared internet connection through Mac osx 10.7 wifi

I can't get my new HP touch pad to connect to my wireless network. I connect my iMac through ethernet but have a wifi network setup from my iMac so my other devices can use my iMacs shared internet connection. The touchpad will not connect, it finds the network, I put in the WEP key and it states "unable to connect, try again". I am at the setup stage on the touch pad and can't get any further!!. I have tried everything I can think of including creating a new wireless network, disabling and changing the sharing password and re-enabling. all my other devices still log on fine and can connect to the internet through the iMacs connection. anyone got any ideas?

I just remembered why I ignored your first post when reading this topic:
Ad-hoc-sharing can't be the problem, because when I use the exact same method without any WEP encryption, so create an open network, it works perfectly - so it has to be an error in the webOS' handling of WEP or similar...
I'm curious that the Mac offers only ASCII (key length of 5 characters) or 128 bit encryption, but not 64bit (which has a key length of 10 hexadecimal characters and works perfectly with my touchpad). <Wiki definition of WEP.>
This sounds like an old problem we used to have when Palm came out with WiFi-enabled devices. Users would create an ASCII text password in their router, and it would generate a 10 character hexadecimal string that was the true password. Entering the 5-digit ASCII code would fail since it was a seed, and not the "real" code.. Entering the 10-digit key worked every time.
By any chance is this what is occurring on the Mac? Do you see a 10 digit code generated anywhere in the setup routine?
Was the link I provided to you of any help?

Can't share internet connection through powerbook's airport

Hi everyone,
I have always shared my internet connection from my built-in ethernet through my computer's airport. I just moved and the cable tech guy came and hooked up the internet and it won't work any more. I watched him and I don't think he changed any settings, but now when I go to System Preferences> Sharing > Internet, on the "To computers using" box there is no airport option listed.
See this screenshot for a better understanding:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/14029136@N02/1563721564/
Any ideas on why this has disappeared?
Thanks,
Isaac

Hi Keith
Yes I see where you are coming from.
Perhaps the OP is mistaken because what has occurred to me is that the 'cable tech guy' (possibly) configured the aiport connection for internet connectivity. This would explain why internet sharing is available only via the other remaining ports; namely ethernet and firewire.

Poor internet connectivity through WRT160N

I bought and installed a WRT160N v.3 router about 3 months ago and all was fine. Recently, however, very poor internet connectivity has been experienced from my other 2 computers connected via wireless. Last night I upgraded the firmware (actuallly Linksys tech) and it appeared at first to fix the problem. Unfortunately, it didn't. The same problem continues on both computers. I have since done a hard reset and started from default parameters, but that didn't help either.
This appears to be a common problem, but I haven't seen a complete fix.
I have a Comcast cable internet connection and a speed test done on the hardwired computer gives the expected download/upload speeds (~20MBps and 8 MBps). Through the wireless connection to the WRT160N is another story. Speeds are less than 0.5MB!
Any suggestions???

Well, I think I solved my problem. I had the router set-up with WEP encryption and was getting very poor internet connections on my wireless PCs. After trying a miriad of fixes found on this site and others, I decided to go to a unprotected network set-up. I was amazed to see my wireless connectivty jump to the expected speeds for my Comcast cable connection.
Has anyone heard of WEP causing a slowdown in connectivity?
Guess I will try the other security set-ups to see if I can get fast connectivity and a secure network.
