Is my WRT54G2 broken?

Okey, i got this router yesterday and it worked fine... until i tried to open a port with a program called simple port forwarding. After running that mi wired conection stopped working, but the wi-fi was still online. I tried to fix it via the router´s config but nothing. I then decided to rollback my computer before i installed the router.
After the rollback, when i plug it in, the power ligth stays off, but the internet and ethernet ligths are always on, even if theres nothing conected on the router. The routers IP aparently changed to 5.0.0.1 and i cant enter the config. I have tried power cycling with no effect, I even tried holding the reset button for 30 secons but still nothing
If someone has any idea of how to fix this or if it is broken please respond, thanks

Hard-reset the router for 1 minute,power cycle it and check if you are able to open the router setup page via wired computer.If yes then,try to upgrade/reflash the router's firmware and check.
If you are not able to open the router setup page then,give the static ip 192.168.1.10 on he computer and try to upgrade the firmware using TFTP utility.
Download the TFTP utility and save it on the computer.Also download the firmware from linksys website.
Double click the TFTP.exe file and click run.
For Server- Enter the IP Address of the router that you assigned. By default, the router is 192.168.1.1...
For Password- Enter the password you assigned the router. By default, the router’s password is “admin”.
For File- Click the triple “…” button and browse for the .bin firmware file...
Click Upgrade button to start upgrading. A progress bar should show up to show the progress.
Once the Upgrade is done 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 check.It should resolve the problem.

WRT54G2 DNS errors when connecting online to PS3... at a loss for ideas...

Im having dns problems ever since PSN went back online and i cannot connect to the internet with my PS3 or log onto PSN. At first i would get dropped as soon i joined an online game, and it was running very slowly, but now it wont connect at all.
Wired works perfectly. Wireless wont work.
If i use automatic setup then the ip address fails.
If i manually set everything then the ip address passes but the internet connection fails and i get a dns error.
Signal strength is 100% and i have a Linksys WRT54G2 router. (worked perfect 2+ years until this week)
I have Roadrunner cable modem.
I did ipconfig/all and enetered all numbers from there and didnt work.
I used standard dns like google and such and those didnt work.
Im seriously at a loss for ideas. Is my router broken? Please can anyone help?

I don't think it's necessarily your router. I've encountered the same problem on my WRT54GC and I used OpenDNS. But it gave me all sorts of problems with different websites so I had to take it out and use manual DNS. I used all sorts of combinations through until I got 4.2.2.2 to work.
EDIT: also, try going in to your router's setup page and click Status. Take note of the DNS values and use those in setting up your PS3.

PPTP Not Working on Brand New WRT54G2 w/Newest Firmware

Subject of post says it all. Have a VPN connection that works perfectly through an old Linksys router. When I replaced it this weekend with the WRT54G2, all of a sudden the authentication portion of the VPN connection fails. Yes, I can telnet to the remote port 1723. Yes, I have the PPTP pass thru enabled. Yes, when I replace my new router with my old one, the VPN connection works perfectly.
So now I have a brand new router that I have to use as an access point in order to get to my VPN. What gives???

I did not try changing the MTU size, although I did see another post that talked about something like that. Seems like this should work straight out of the box though - never needed to adjust it on any other similar devices.
Definitely shouldn't need to do any port forwardinng since the traffic is being initiated from my side of the firewall.
I'm also surprised that something like this should be broken with all the experience Linksys has. But they also have a history of having problems with PPTP and this model appears to be very new - the firmware is like 1.0.01. My guess is that this feature didn't get tested properly - the same thing that happened on the original WRT54G. Should have known better than to buy this...

Connect WRT54G2 with USB?

The ethernet port on my Motorola SB5120 modem (3 yrs old) has never seemed to work. I've always used the USB port on the modem as a workaround. But now I've purchased a WRT54G2 and can't figure out how to use the modem and router without an ethernet connection on my modem. Any advice? Hopefully something cheaper than buying a new modem.
My internet connection is high-speed cable.

Thanks for the response but I think the ethernet port on my modem is broken and that is my whole dilemma. I can't seem to get it to work on my laptop or PC. Just the USB connection to the modem. I don't think I want to risk spending $37 on the converter to find out. I appreciate the suggestion.

Linksys / Cisco website continuously broken?

Is the best we can ever expect from Cisco / Linksys is a set of poor web pages which are unintuitively linked to one another, which have broken download for years at a time, and with web services which are down without explanation? Does Linksys / Cisco REALLY want us to think that we don't deserve better? Never mind the horrible security of these devices. Never mind that Cisco / Linksys would rather we throw our older devices in to landfills every time a backdoor is discovered in our devices. Can't you people at LEAST fix your damned web pages and KEEP YOUR WEB SERVER UP so we can at minimum get to the last supported version of the firmware you offer? Look at this problem:https://community.linksys.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/WRT54G2-V1-Firmware-Upgrade-Issue/m-p/606136 That was from January, 2013. Guess what? Going to the same web page for the WRT54G2 to try to download firmware STILL takes one to the download page for the WRT54G, NOT the G2. Where's the page for the G2? It's been a year and a half! Not only that, but homesupport.cisco.com / www.linksysbycisco.com / start.linksys.com are down. What year is it? It's 2015, and Cisco / Linksys can't keep a web server up? I'm sorry that some of the people I support were naive and bought Cisco / Linksys products. It won't happen again.

Thank you. If Cisco has completely finished screwing Linksys, then those links should be removed from the site. Also, there's no reason that start.linksys.com shouldn't work. FYI, http://www.linksys.com/us/ leads here: http://www.linksys.com/us/support-product?pid=01t80000003K7XLAA0 The "Latest Updates" link at the bottom, under "DOWNLOADS", takes people here: http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=148648 That's the page for WRT54G downloads, NOT for WRT54GV2 downloads. Linksys? This problem was reported in 2013.

Jackd + guitar: "timeouts and broken pipes"

Hi friends! I'm trying to pass my electric guitar via any rack/effects (like Guitarix or Creox) with no luck. I've got this sound card:
01:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs [SB Live! Value] EMU10k1X
01:06.1 Input device controller: Creative Labs [SB Live! Value] Input device controller
I try with QJackCtl and invoking jackd from the terminal with any luck.

I can hear my guitar and record with Audacity, but when jackd enter into the escenario everything blows up. I read that nowadays almost any sound card will work with QJackCtl with the default options. I play with the parameters and sometimes jack refuse to start. With the default options on i can make it run, but i get no sound of the racks or guitar effects processors neither the guitar tuners that use jack takes the sound from the guitar. My line input is in capture via alsamixer, but still no luck. Any clue on this? I'm skipping steps?
Thanks in advance.

HT1688 I have a damaged I-Phone and I need the contents of my calendar off of it. I did not have Mobile me at the time. Can I swap out the sim card from the broken phone to a new phone and recover this calendar?

I have an older I-Phone (3G) that for some reason the body of the phone has split in two. This phone was a business phone and it had a lot of important information on it. I have a second phone that is also a 3G. On the broken phone there is a lot of important information that I need in my calendar. Im not worried about anything else but the calendar. I didn't have the Mobile Me account at that time or I would be having this problem. Does anybody know if I can ust switch out the sim cards. I just need to recover the old calendar, so im hoping that the calendar will transfer when I switch the sim card into the good 3G. If that doesn't work does anybody know of anyway that I can retrieve this information off of this phone?

Nothing is stored on the sim card on an iPhone. If you backed up to your computer the backup will contain your calendar events. Otherwise, if your phone isn't functioning there is no way to back up or extract your calendar at this point.

HT1384 My lock screen/power button on my iPod Touch is broken, and I need some assistance.

As the title suggests, I can not use the lock screen/power button on my iPod Touch, it is broken. I can use Adaptive Touch to turn the screen on and off at will, and also turn my device off. But if I turn it off, I don't know how to get it to turn back on. Could I just plug it into a charger and turn it back on, or would I need to plug it into my computer? Please help, in a few days I won't have access to it for 9 weeks, I need immediate help.

If you power off the iPod, it will turn back on if you connect it to a charger like a wall charger or a computer. I just checked with a charging source to confirm. I knew it did it with a computer.

Error during 10.8.2 Update - Appstore and iTunes Broken

Hi Guys,
I hope you can help me with this one.
I just installed the 10.8.2 update trough App Store, then it asked me to restart my computer... During the restart some error message appeared saying that the installation could not be completed due to an unexpected error, and then restarted my computer automatically.

How do i transfer my musiclibrary from my iphone to a new computer since the computer the iphone is synct with is broken and no longer works

if the computer your music library is synct with is broken how do y transfer your music on your iphone to a new itunes on a new computer

1. Disable automatic syncing on connection: iTunes Prefs > Devices > Disable....
2. Connect phone.
3. Right-click the device tab on left border of iTunes window and select "Transfer Purchases." This will transfer all iTunes store purchased music, media and apps to the iTunes library on the computer.
It won't transfer non-iTunes store music/media (i.e. CD's you ripped yourself) and these will get deleted from the phone when you sync. There are 3rd party apps for your computer which may be able to backup non-iTunes media on your phone. Google.

[LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw] only vertical lines when scanning, scanner broken?

Hi all! I have a problem with the scanner in my HP all in one. If I scan (using the printer function or apples ImageCapture: same result) the output is just a lot of vertical stripes (in colors when in color mode). Not a trace of the image I try to scan. The lines are there even if i scan an empty white page. I see the stripes both when doing a preview scan and an actual scan. The problems are very similar regardless of if I use the flatbed or the feeder scanner (they are separate scanner hardware, yes?). I have updated to the latest software for the printer/scanner and I am connecting over bonjour via wireless. I am on Os X 10.9.1. Anybody having similar problems or is my scanner just plain broken? Thanks in advance!Jon

, , I understand that both of you are seeing vertical lines when scanning from your Laserjet M276nw. First, make sure the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet and not a surge protector. Now, so I know where to begin I'd need to know the following:If you are seeing the vertical lines when you copy as well as scan?Are you seeing the vertical lines when you copy from the flatbed? The document feeder? both?If you are seeing the lines from both the flatbed and the feeder are they in the same place?Once I know this I'll be better able to assist you.

My Mac has broken and I want to sell it for parts. How can I be sure that my personal data that is/was on the hard drive is safe?

My 2006 MacBook Pro has broken. There is a little bit of drive noise when I turn it on, but then nothing happens. It is no big deal. Most of my files were backed up. There are a few files I would like to recover if possible, but nothing worth a major effort.
I have seen that broken MacBook Pro's go for about $300 on eBay for parts, so I would like to sell the MacBook Pro. However, I only want to do that after I am sure that my personal data is wiped out. Does anyone know how I can accomplish that? Does anyone know of an easy way to search the old hard drive for some of the data that I lost? Can a Genius Bar take care of this stuff for me (and how much do they charge?)?
Thank you for your help.

The ONLY real secure way to be sure that noone may recover data from your drive is, to remove the drive, and drill one or two 1" holes thru the disk.
A bit less secure but useful way is, to wipe out the data with a tool that's overwrite all sectors of the drive with randomized data in multiple runs.
For example: Permanent Ereaser http://www.edenwaith.com/products/permanent%20eraser/
Independent tests bring out, that even specialized recovery companies with forensic tools are unable to find useful data after such a run.

There are some recovery tools out there to fit your needs, e.g. MacKeeper http://mackeeper.zeobit.com/mac-data-recovery

I need to install the HP drivers on a laptop with a broken screen in order to get VGA port to work.

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
Hewlett Packard Model: 2000 2a20ca Notebook
Oh my god please give me some insight here, it is so hard to find the right answers and I refuse to lose to this technical box that's driving me nuts! So here's the run down:
My screen broke on laptop...fine. It was connected via HDMI to TV and working fine. Until one day it decided to not turn on. I think due to Windows updates and hubby had no patience so kept restarting
I tried to reload Windows on it, not thinking about the drivers, and I'm pretty sure I managed to reload Windows. Now I need the drivers to install chipset, networking etc. (which I have a disc for)
The problem is I cannot see the screen in order to click "install", I can't see the BIOS or the boot sequence. Ugh! And even if I could, the drivers are not installed to use the CD ROM or VGA port.
I can HEAR Windows start up and turn on! Doo-DO-Doo-DO lol the darn thing is working!
The monitor works in my other laptop.
Would/Should the VGA monitor work if I could get it to start in safe mode?
I've heard of a program that can streamline the driver's into a Windows installation disc so everything is installed altogether but how can I reinstall Windows if the drivers aren't loaded for the CD ROM?
Is there a way to get the necessary drivers installed? or is this notebook now garbage?

Seriously?
1. The model number is the first thing at the top aside from the OS.
2. In my explanation it states: "I have the drivers on a disk"
Thanks for all your help!
Getting the drivers is not the problem. Getting the drivers installed on a laptop with a broken screen...is the problem.
Ok, well sometimes you can't use external monitor to see what is happening in some laptops and the only real way to fix this is to fix the broken screen so you can reformat and resinstall the system again. Those are you only options at this point in time.
