Is my new WRT54G ver 5 duff?

Tried the cd set up, get to page 8 (checking your computer's settings) dialog says: "Unable to connect to the router" after only 10%, despite all cables in place. In fact I get all the way to entering a password (but no further, tried the default "admin" & dsl password) when the routers not connected! Then it is a never ending merry-go-round of password/checking computer settings. Have downloaded firmware upgrade but as I cannot access web set up page (http://192.168.1.1) just doesn't happen, even when I've disconnected the router & connected to internet in usual way. (Is this because I'm in the Philippines?) Have downloaded EasyLink Connect, dialog says: "Wired adapter disabled." Followed instructions from a thread on this forum (thanks) to ping the router & got "Destination Host Unreachable." Powered down, reset, etc but still no joy. Although all the lights work (no blinking) I really think this unit is duff. Not happy, as I bought the router in Hong Kong means I've got to buy another plane ticket to replace it if it's faulty. Have checked the web & it seems I'm not alone so hoping there is a process to correct this as I wont be telephoning the 1-800 number.

know how you feel.. it's really sad when you have a router like that... but let explain to you first what is happening... let's get to the bottom line... when you said tried pinging the router and you get a reply destination host unreachable... at that time, your router's DHCP is not replying anymore because your router is giving you an autoconfiguration IP adress... you can check that by typing in "ipconfig" [no qoutes] in the command line (same place where you pinged the oruter)... what you'll be receiving is an IP adress that starts with a 169.254.x.x . you can try fixing your router by updating the firmware... BUT?!!! let me explain first... I know how you react to this when I said, "upgrade the firmware of your router"...
you still have a chance to access the set up page of your router... try this steps:
ASSIGN A STATIC IP ADRESS ON YOUR PC:
go to your control panel [select classic view (click the option on the left side right below control panel title)]. select network connections...
under LAN or high speed internet, you will see local area connection. right click on it then select properties
under local area connection properties, look for internet protocol TCP/IP. high light it and click properties.
once on the internet protocol TCP/IP properties, set it to use the following IP adress.
IP adress: 192.168.1.5
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
click ok and click the close button on the local area connectipn properties window (not the common "x" button when exiting out a window).
BRUTE FORCE THE CARD TO 10 Mbps half duplex mode
go to the same window (local area connection properties), once there, you will see a configure button. click it.
you will be lead to fast ethernet card 10/100 properties (depending on the type of etherenet card you have)
once there, click on the advance tab
under property, highlight link speed and duplex or media type or connection type (it varies, but these are one of those variations).
under value, select 10 Mbps/ Tx half mode/ duplex
click ok and click close on the local area connection window.
CHECK IP ADRESS AND PING THE ROUTER
To make sure everything is in place, check the IP adress.
go to command prompt (click START, go to RUN, type in cmd (for win XP only) or command.
on the command line, type in "ipconfig" [no qoutes]. make sure that you get the same IP adress you assigned to your ethernet local area connection adapter. (if not, restart the computer).
once you get it the correct IP adress already, ping the default gateway number (equivalent to the router's IP adress). once getting replies (if not push the reset button at the back of the router for 10 sec. then unpower the router for 10 sec., then repower), you can now start opening the router's set-up page by typing in the http://192.168.1.1 on the browser's (internet explorer) adress bar.
to update. click on this link: http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=557&p_created=108421...
if you can't acess the set-up page of the router, click on this link: http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=3176&p_created=11310...
You should be able to configure the router already after it updating it. To check if the router is replying reverse all you've done in your computer by setting back the internet protocol TCP/IP to obtain an IP adress automatically and DNS server automatically (don't forget to click ok and close for the windows opened before opening a new one, okay?). then set back the speed and duplex mode back to auto-negotiation. then go online again and click this link: http://www.linksysfix.com/check/HomePage/index.htm?CallerID=CC
Hope this helps...

Installed a new WRT54GS ver 7 router

I replaced my BEFW11S4 router with a WRT54GS ver 7 router recently. I use two VPN's for work, one to my employer's network and one to a customer's network. Since installing the new router, I can access the customer's network without a problem but I get a "Port not connected" error when attempting to connect to my employer's network. Any suggestions?

When you open the VPN software or connection client, it usually gives you the brand of the VPN. Like Nortel Contivity Software, etc.

WRT54G Ver 6 Issues

Hi
I hope this helps people. I am extremely disappointed with Linksys support. I have talked to at least 6 support people for a least 1 hour each without a resolution to a simple problem. My problem is that I can not get onto the internet with my access points(WAP54G .ver 3.1)using WPA security with WRT54GS ver 3. I decided to do my own testing since Linksys did not. I configured my WRTGS with no security. I used my ssid, channel, broadcast ssid turned on. I configured my WAP54G exactly the same. I was able to ping the WAP54G with no problem. My next test was to test WEP security. The only changes I made were the exncryption to 128 bit with a code on both the WRT54GS and WAP54G. I was able to ping it with no problem. Since I needed more security for my house since the houses are almost right on top of each other, with many people using wireless in their homes, I changed my security to WPA Personal. I changed the code and of course saved all of the changes, like I did previously. I tried to ping the the WAP54G. I couldn't ping it to save my life. I figured that the hardware was up to date on the WRT54GS ver 3 so I purchased a new WRT54G ver 6 router thinking that this will support WPA Personal. (I already knew that WPA Personall worked on that Router with version 1.01 of the firmware.)
I noticed on the Linksys website that there was a new firmware for the router which is version 1.02. I had to update the firmware on my router since the version that was on it was 1.00.52. My firware is now 1.02. I started the same tests I performed on the WRT54GS ver 3. I turned off security on both the WAP54G & WRT54G. I tried to ping the WAP54G. I could not do it. Now I know the WAP54G worked because I proved it earlier. I reported the problem to Linksys and asked to talk to a supervisor. I never received a call back from her. This is the lousiest support I have ever expereinced. I explained to tech support that the WAP54G's are no use to me since I can't talk to them with this router using WPA security or anything else. It was extremely frustrating dealing with their technical support. This is suppose to be a simple setup that should take about 5-10 minutes. Instead it has cost me days of calling them and many hours, trying to figure why it did not work with absolutely no help from them. Does anyone have any good suggestions?
I would like to get a hold of firmware 1.01 because I know that works. Thanks
Scot

Hi,
This is an update to my first post. I was correct that ver 1.02 of the firmware for the WRT54G ver 6 of the router has some problems with it. It does not allow you to use WPA encryption. Version 1.01 of the firmware does allow you to use the WPA encryption. Hopefully Linksys will fix this problem. I will continue to use 1.01 until this is fixed.

Step by step complete setup for WRT54G ver.6 with Laptop and XBOX 360

Hello. I am sorry to post this, I am sure it is a juevenile and redundent question...but I have tried to look for the set up cd (I can find where to download it...though I can find the firmware upgrade or whatever). My friend at work said it would do all the setup pretty much automatically for me.
I somewhat know computers, but you might go ahead and make your replies VERY lamen's terms or I might not be able to follow. Anyways, what I need, is a step by step/screen by screen directions for a secure network. I have made a partial attempt at setting it up and it technically works, but I would feel better if I did the steps a-z in order, so I know that it is done correctly. I also am not totally confident in its security as it is now. (Also, technically, I did not check the XBOX again after getting the new laptop, I am just assuming it is still working because it was before).
My problem is I can't seem to find very good directions for setting up the router...I only find partials or confusing directions.
So here are the things I am trying to connect:
Liksys WRT54G ver. 6
Gateway Laptop running Windows Vista
XBOX 360 - WIRED
(I had a PC and a laptop, but they both died at the same time and I have only been able to replace the laptop at this point...the PC will come later and not sure at this point if it will be Wired or not).
I have a cable Modem between the Router and the wall...I didn't look at that for brand/etc...but I can get it ASAP if needed.
Here are the settings that I have so far:
Changed the Router Name
Changed the SSID
Have DHCP set to 3 (XBOX, PC, Laptop)
Wireless SSID Broadcast: Disable
Username and Password changed to my own info
UPnP: Enable
I may have changed other things without knowing it. So like I said, a complete, step by step screen by screen set up would be totally appreciated. I haven't done anything in the security tab, all that is totally foreign to me, so I am just not broadcasting for now until I can get some help setting things up with you guys.
And if someone is familiar with the Laptop/XBOX 360 setup, and I need to change any of the settings on the XBOX itself, could you please include that in your directions? I know that isn't technically what THIS forum is for, but it would sure be helpful to me if you happen to know both parts anyways.
Thanks a lot (in advance)!

So all you just need to do is, secure your Wireless Network. Follow the setps bellow and change the settings on your Router.
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
- 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 Wireless 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...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...
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...

WRT54G Ver 6 Constant Need To Reset!

I purchased a WRT54G Ver 6.0 Router in April to bring to Iraq with me. I have it connected to my iDirect 3000 Satellite Modem, with the static IP config input into the WRT54G.
I have two computers on my desk, my personnal XPS 1710 with Vista and my Work D600 Latitude with XP. Both computers exhibit the same problems at the same time. I have even had other computers connected and have had the same problem.
My problem seems to be a constant need to reset the WRT54G Router. I was connecting wirelessly. The system seemed to operate fine for a day or two. I started to have problems with the connection to the internet dropping. When it did this, I could not connect to the WRT54G setup page either. I figured something locally here at the Camp in Iraq might have been interfering with the wireless, so I ditched the wireless and have been using wired connections. The problems have not stopped. I am constantly having to unplug and reset the router to reconnect. When it hangs up, I cannot even connect to the setup page. Occasionally, it will find itself without reseting the router, but most times, I have to reset.
I have tried factory default reseting and manually reentering my settings. I have just updated the firmware, but it didn't seem to solve anything. In the past few minutes while trying to search for this problem here on this forum, the router dropped the connection twice. The networking icon on the computer still indicates a connection, on the Vista is shows that a local connection is available only (during the problem).
I have read a little online and this seems to be a common problem for Linksys. I have 2 more of these routers, one at home and one at my office in the States. Both have had the problems, just not as severe. This router requires reseting at least 15 times a day during my 12 hour shift.
I bought the Linksys Routers because they did have a reputation for reliability and quality. Boy, I guess I should have researched this one a bit more.
I have 5 IP addresses from my Satellite ISP, so I am considering configuring the Router as a Switch or HUB, but I am unsure on how to do this, or of it will even solve my problems.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Vincent

I am having the almost exactly the same problem. It started about a week ago, (just like alot of others I have read on here recently) and I too will have no access to the set up page once it drops the net. I can still acess other computers on the router, but no net and no router set-up page until I reset it. I'm running the same router, without the firmware update. I have 4 desktops directly into the router..and one laptop wireless. Most of the time, the net will stay on for all the computers for surfing and email. Maybe once or twice a day it will drop access to the internet. a simple unplugging of the power cord resets it and everything is peachy. BUT....try to start a download.(usind DAP *download accelerator plus* or a bit torrent)...WHOA! it's anywhere from an instant drop to maybe ten minutes then drop. Most assuredly it will drop. we have had this router since January, and until a week ago, it worked just fine. no problems. Last week, our ISP upgraded their equipment and increased the bandwidth. (we have to use a cellular connection with a static IP being out in the boonies far enough that cable and DSL are still not available) The problems started at the same time and I thought it might be a problem with them. After testing one of the computers with a direct connection to the internet modem, everything, including a major download, worked just fine. It is definately a router problem. I spent quite a lengthy time on the phone with Linksys tech support, and the nice lady had me change the MTU rate from 1500 to 1300. It seemed to work, but about an hour after being done with the support call, things started to go wonky again. I am just about at my wits end!! Nothing has been changed on the router settings except that one thing that tech support instructed me to do. I am kinda leary about upgrading the firmware because I have been seeing a ton of *my router wont work with firmware update* or *now my router is frozen* posts. I have to type in a ton of settings because I am using a static IP and I really don't want to do all that again!! lol PLEASE, somone have a solution to this problem! It is driving me mad!! I would really hate to have to buy a new router, but my roomate is about to that point if this doesn't get fixed soon.

WRT54G Ver 6 Internet connectivity problems

Alright so here's the deal.
I'm on Windows XP with Verizon DSL (in Orange County, CA) that uses a Westell modem (just modem, not modem and router combo).
I have the old Linksys BEFSR41 v.2 router that runs with everything fine.
I just bought the WRT54G Version 6 and connected everything up as needed. Powered things down and then back up. And it could not detect an Internet connection, but I could access the router via web browser.
- Ran the Setup CD and it couldn't find the internet.
- Upgraded the firmware.
- I searched the forums and did not find a successful solution.
- Called my ISP to confirm it is DHCP.
- Talked to Linksys Support via phone and he had me do all sorts of stuff. Releasing, Renewing, Local IP Address changes, pinging, MAC, etc. All this to try to get some sort of IP address with the internet.
- Tried it with a diff WRT54G Ver 6 (Yeah. I bought two. One for me, and one to bring to my parents), and it still didn't work. (Can't be that both the routers I got are defective.)
- Searched forums some more and ran across the EasyLink program. I used it, and it tells me my freaking Wired adaptor is disabled. Where do I enable it? Can't be my computer because it all works fine with the old Linksys router I got....or could it?
- Powered down and back up in many different combinations.
Did all that to no avail. Anyone got a solution? I couldn't find anything that worked. I'm about to go return this and get something else tomorrow. Maybe if I wake up, there will be a workable solution that is replied back.
Thanks in advance to all those that tried to help and posted something, or didn't post due to having no solution.
- Chris

Yup Yup Yup. I tried the WAN address thing and it still didn't work.
I was about to pack everything up and go return the stupid thing. BUT.....I decided to talk to Verizon DSL support since I hadn't tried that.
They helped me out good!!!
Here's the solution.
I plugged in the old router, the BEF, and went to Status to click the DHCP Release. Then unplugged the old router.
Then per Verizon DSL support instruction....powered down the modem, then powered it back up and waited for lights to stabilize. Then I plugged in the new router, the WRT. And went to Status (IP was already autofilled, with internet working) but I still clicked DHCP Renew.
It all works. WOOOOOO!!!!
By the way. The WAN address thing is important. I went to it on the new, WORKING router and disabled the WAN address. The internet stopped working. I re-entered in the WAN address I copied and the internet worked again. So......yeah.
I hope for all those out there having the same problems as me, and without a solution, see this thread and try this.
Thanks again for your guys' help.
**edit**
By the way. Is there a way to stop my internet to being a stickler to this MAC address? I'm just curious. I'm gonna go google MAC address and see if I can read anything useful.

WRT54G ver 5.0 refuses ISP?

I have a WRT54G ver 5.0. My ability to connect has become very inconsistent--90% of the time, I need to power down my ISP provided modem prior to connecting. My ISP ran a diagnostic & says that my wireless router is refusing the signal from the ISP. Once I power down/up the modem, it all works fine.
In all attempts to connect, I always get a screen that says I am connected to the router, but the internet can't be found--even when it is a successful connection...
Would welcome thoughts & suggestions!

Just to save you some time, instead of powering down the modem and rebooting it, just disconnect the ethernet cable that connects the modem and router (with both the router and modem turned on), wait 30 seconds, then reconnect the ethernet cable, and see if that works.
Is this a new setup? Have your modem and router ever worked properly together?
Please state the make and model of your modem.
Please state your ISP.
If known, please state what version of firmware you have in your router.
If you connect your computer, by wire, directly to your modem, do you get a properly working Internet connection?
If you connect your computer, by wire, directly to the router, do you get a properly working Internet connection?
Are you having problems with a wired or wireless Internet connection, or both?

WRT54G ver 2 Mac and PC issues

I have...
a WRT54G ver 2, firmware v4.21.1 (latest available for this model),
two PC desktops wired (192.168.1.101) - second desktop not used much),
a PC laptop wireless (169.254.58.14),
a Mac Desktop wireless (192.168.1.104),
and 2 Mac Laptops (169.254.75.54) (169.254.254.36).
The problem is...
When one of the wireless computers is turned on it won't connect unless the router is powered down and back on. It will be fine until one of the other wireless computers are turned on and now it doesn't connect. It is possible to get them all simultaneously connecting, but difficult. It seems to be in the timing. I still haven’t nailed it down. Frustrating...
The questions...
Did I give enough information?
Can I do what I want with this router or do I need to upgrade?
If can do, what settings?
If can't, new hardware recommendations?
Thanx

okay... go to www.linksys.com/download and download the latest firmware for the router, try upgrading/reflashing firmware on the router...after reflashing/upgrading firmware on the router reset it and reconfigure it according to ISP settings...on the router's setup page click on wireless tab and try changing channel to 11, click on advanced wireless settings, reduce beacon interval to 50, fragmentation and RTS threshold to 2304, also transmission rate to 54Mbps and save the settings...power cycle the entire network and check whether it works or not and let me know.
Thanks! I had already downloaded and installed the latest firmware, but it didn't really help. I set the parameters you described, and bam, all wireless devices work. I shut down and restarted each one to verify, and they can access the network!
Again, Thanks a lot!

WRK54G vs. WRT54G ver. 2

I've been using a WRK54G for some time now and it has basically just been giving me problems the whole time. My dad just brought home a WRT54G ver. 2 from his office, though. Which one should I use? Is there a better, newer one? Should I at least try the WRT54G?

try the other router wrt54g ver 2

Swapping out a WRT54G for a new WRT54G

Swapping out
I have purchased a new WRT54G Router (V6.0) to replace an older WRT54G Router(V2.1) due to suspected intermediate problems.
Can I just physically replace the old one with the new one and then manually re-enter my current configuration changes, like ssid, mac addresses to permit, password, etc? Or do I need to install using the CD?

If it were me I would just slap it in and then using your (with a direct connect to one of your switch ports) browser http to the IP 198.168.1.1. Login using the defaults and set it up that way. You should get a snapshot of your old linksys setting before you pull it off. I installed my first linksys that way and it wasn't till ver 5 that I encountered the CD. For your basic install this should be just fine. I am sure there is a lot of good stuff on the CD, but just get it up and running that is the way I would go.
Oh by the way...Wanna buy a used linksys router? Lookie here in my trunk...gotta a couple extra hubs and switches...
It's Labor Day...just kidding...hope you had a nice weekend.

Hi Fadeel,
I have exactly the same problem. My previous version (v2) broke down and I received a version 7 instead.
Took me some houres to figure out that the problems I had were caused by the router itself.
Also a long chatsession with Linksys USA and phonecalls with the local helpdesk. But Linksys people are very nice and helpfull, but do not always know were they are talking about, in my humble opinion. Got the advice to upgrade the firmware (there isn't any ) while they knew what the version was.
I bought a (secondhand) version 2.2 and it is working fine now.
I expect that we will have a new firmwareversion soon, but we as customer are running a "User Acceptance Test" while we normally pay for the stuff. Not Cisco worthy!!
My version is a -EU one, yours too?
Best regards, Rob.

WRT54G ver 6, serious issues

I recently bought a WRT54G, ver 6. For a while, it worked. We were happy. Now, we have a wireless connection, but are unable to load any websites.
Regularly resetting the router seems to work, for short periods of time (5-20 minutes, if that).
Our firmware is current, we've spent time on the phone with Linksys (Hi, India!), and everything seems to be correct.
All the computers have Windows XP, ISP is D&E Communications, we have cable internet. We've upgraded drivers and/or wireless cards, to no effect.
In addition, we have one laptop connected to the router via ethernet cable. That computer is unable to access webpages when the other computers are unable to access anything through the wireless network.
Any help would be great, since we're getting very close to returning the router and spending a few more hours on the phone with Linksys to get our money back - the router is less than a month old. This much difficulty is unacceptable.

Did you try going to the administration menu in the web setup page? then to diagonistics sub menu ---> then to ping button --> after which new window appears, where in you can type in any domain name like www.google.com and clcik on ping to check the connectivity. If you get the response then you have the internet connection till your router. If you are able to get response from ping then instead of providing dynamic ip to the pc's you can check with static ip. if it works then something is wrong with DHCP lease.

WRT54G Ver 6 Losing connection

The problem I'm having is everyonce in a while (in about a weeks time) all PC's in my network lose the ability to connect to the router and Internet. I have to unplug the router, wait for a few minutes, then plug it back up, turn my PC(s) my on, and I'm able to connect. I've checked with Linksys and I'm currently running the most current Firmware for Ver. 6.
Do any of you GURU's have any ideas or fixes for this? Thanks in advance
I have the following:
WRT54G
Ver.6
Firmware 1.02.0
IP Address assigned by DHCP server on the Router
Max IP addresses allowed to connect is 9
ISP: Charter Cable 3Mb, IP address is not Static
3 PC's connected wired
3 PC's connected wireless

Thanks, PD

Sorry to interject a completely different answer here, but I have experienced the same problems.
Blame me for the newb I am, but here is what I did after losing conn and thinking that my modem was burned up after 2 years of use:
1) Attempted to buy a new DSL modem on Easter Sunday...good luck...
2) Went back home after not finding said modem to find connection working again
3) Wife did not use her desktop for 10 days due medical procedure (no connection problems)
4) Wife gets better, uses her computer, I start losing connection again.
5) Not realizing step 4, I call ATT dsl and am told, maybe you need a new filter on your DSL line. DL speeds return to proper speeds, think I am fine.
6) Wife uses Outlook 18 hours later while I am on my networked machine, we both lose connection
7) After reconnecting all possible wires, realize maybe the problem is with the latest Windows Update Patch OR a router problem
8) Go to my trusty Best Buy contact at nearby store, named Jason, and ask Jason if he has heard anything like this in the last 6 weeks...He THANKED ME PROFUSELY as he and his brother were experiencing the SAME networking problem. Jason removed the past 7 windows update patches and that removed the problem.
He has since turned off Windows Updates. Jason said that a couple of the update patches could not be uninstalled, but the 7 or so that could be uninstalled did the trick and he has not had dropped connections since.
Anyone else experiencing this? I talked to a cable modem user/friend and he has been experiencing similar problems but the Microsoft utility with his router allows him to double click to re-establish a connection, unlike me who has to power everything down, count to sixty, and power up.
(I have not yet uninstalled the patches but wondering what others have seen)
Thanks for the posts peeps!

WRT54G ver.6 Admin page not available

Hi, Two days ago I saw on linksys website new firmware and decided to upgrade.I guess the installation went wrong, and my router WRT54G ver.6 ended up faulty. The problem is that I cannot access the router's Admin page (http://192.168.1.1), the browser gives me message "connection interrupted - The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading." The power light on the router when it starts is steady, no blinking. I can ping the router and as far as I can see it's fully functional in its default mode. I can access internet via cable and wifi. The ssid is Linksys.
I tried all kinds of hard reset, I guess evertything I could find on your forum.
Is there hope for my router or is it "Bricked"?
Thanks for your Help

Hard reset your router -
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...Now re-configure your router...
Also make sure that your computer is set to 'Obtain IP Address Automatically' , disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer before trying to access the setup page...
If it does not work try connecting a different computer/laptop to the router's ethernet port and see if you can open the setup page...

WRT54G ver.6 "Dead ?"

I need some Help i have a linksys wireless router WRT54G ver.6.(Vista) It was working fine for years then I come home from work and can't get internet. By-passed router and I get internet. All lights on router are saying working ok but can't get a connection. I can't even long onto the IPS address for the set-up? I tried all of the Vista repair but gives me an answer at the end can't fix problem. I'm ok with computers but not an expert. but I'm thinking it's a readability problem with the internet? Any help or maybe it's time to buy a new one? Thanks

Have you tried a hard 30-30-30 reset? First power off your router and remove all cables. Then plug back in the power cord and let it boot. When the power light stops blinking and is solid, locate the recessed reset button and press it in holding for 30 seconds. Remove power while still pressing in the reset button for 30 seconds more. Place power back to router for 30 last seconds and release the reset button. Power off the unit and plug your main PC back into port 1 and your modem back into the WAN port. Power on and reconfigure your settings. Test unit to see if your internet functionality has returned.

Is my new WRT54G ver 5 duff?
