Linksys Wireless-G router power light not glowing

Hi,
I bought my Linksys Wireless-G 2.4 Ghz, 54 Mbps Broadband router (Model: WRT54GL) in US. I'm using the same in India for the past couple of months (connected thru 240 to 120v voltage converter). It was working fine until last week. All of the sudden I see the Linksys router power light not glowing at all. Initially I suspected the problem to be with voltage converter, later I figured out that the voltage converter and power adapter to router are working fine. So its the issue with wireless router. Is this a known issue with this model ?. If so how do I fix this ?. Is there a Linksys wireless router service center in Bangalore ?.
Any help related to this issue would be great.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Siva K.

Thanks for your immediate response on this issue.
Well, there is no power to the router at all. So as you mentioned I believe the router is dead. Is there anything we can do now ?.
Note: This is a pretty new router. I haven't used it much.
Regards,
Siva K.

Linksys Wireless N Router w/ Belkin Wireless G Adapter Connection?

I recently bought a Linksys wireless n router to better serve my two new laptops with wireless n cards. They are now lightning fast and super reliable. However, my desktop, which has a Belkin wireless g card connects about a third as fast and last only about 5-10 minutes before needing to be reconnected, which can cometimes take a while itself. I changed the channel to 11 which helped a little and am running the router on 20 MHz only.
My previous router was a Belkin wireless G.
I'm looking for answers/explanations and possible solutions to speeding up my desktop's speed and increasing its reliability w/o jeopardizing my laptops' supreme performance.
Thanks for your help,
~Josh

Set the Channel Width to 40MHz only,Wide Channel to 9 and Standard Channel to 11-2.462GHz and click on save settings...Under the Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...Under the Security tab,uncheck.. dw(vs_internetfilter0);Filter Anonymous Internet Requests and click on save settings..Now,power cycle the router and check...

IPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet.

iPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet at work. The admin says the router lets my iPhone connect to LAN, but the iPhone does not have server IP to access the internet. I entered the server IP and port number in the HTTP PROXY fields but I still can not access the web. Any ideas?
TIA
Rich

You IT person should be able to sort this out. But, they seems to be too busy or disinterested to do this. Suggest you provide the it person with an iPhone to get interested.
Any could be lots of things.
The best you can do is to get access to the admin setup for networking on a pc? The internet settings are all the same. Only what names the manufactures change from OS to OS. Check and compare parameters.
Phone works to internet at home, I assume?

Linksys Wireless-B Router & Access Point question

Ok, I have a Linksys wireless B router (cant remember the model name off of the top of my head) and it connected to a desktop that I have. I just purchased a Buffalo Wireless-G MIMO router which has the ability to act as an access point. I was wondering if I set the Wireless-B router up to my desktop where my modem is, and then turn on the Access Point feature with my Buffalo router, would the two brands work together or no? Also, if they did work and the Buffalo router acted as an access point would I be able to connect my PS3 via one of the ethernet port on the back of the Buffalo access point? Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
I just purchased this Buffalo router after returning the Linksys Wireless-G with SpeedBooster and having numerous problems with my Verizon DSL (Westell 6100 modem).

Yes you can. Here is a LINK to use as a reference. The only thing you will run into is the routers IP's may be different so make sure they are in the same range. Example router 1:192.168.1.1 and router 2:192.168.1.2 but it may vary depending on what you want your private IP range to be.
The router you want to set as a AP make sure it has the latest firmware and has the SSID/security all set up. Make sure the IP for the router is set then disable the DHCP. Then connect router 1 via numbered port to the number 1 port of the second router.

Linksys EA6500 router power light blinks slowly, not reachable

Hoping somebody can help me with this. I bought a Cisco Linksys EA6500 router a couple of years ago. For various reasons I ended up not actually unboxing it until today. It got left at my mom's place and well, it just didn't get unboxed until today. I connected it, ran the Setup disc and after a little bit of trouble, I got it to work OK. I was using the Admin panel and setting the guest network password etc. Everything seemed great. But then I had the idea to upgrade the Firmware, because I figured the router was a couple of years old, it probably needs a Firmware upgrade. From the admin page I clicked the "Check for upgrades" to the Firmware, but it gave me a red error message "Upgrade server not available" (or something to that effect). I clicked instead on "Manual update" and I had downloaded this file: FW_EA6500v2_1.1.40.166281_prod.img The firmware upgrade process started, there was a progress bar that went for a while, and when that reached the end, I got a spinning wheel animation. This however, never went away. Just spun and spun. I went for a coffee, came back 15 minutes later, it was still spinning and nothing else had happened. I looked at the router itself, and the white CISCO power led on the front of the router is blinking slowly. Kind of fading up and down. I waited another while and then I had waited probably 20 minutes, so I gave up and unplugged the router from the power, waited a few seconds and plugged it back in. Ever since I did this process, it's like completely dead. The CISCO power led is fading up and down. I've tried a 30-30-30 reset. I've connected it to a PC ran the setup program (EA6500v1.2.0.14212.1-Setup.exe). The setup program just reports that it can't reach or find the router. It's like completely broken. I've tried it with two different PC's. None of them can even acknowledge that the router exists. Meanwhile, the power light keeps fading up and down... I only got about 15 minutes use out of my brand new (albeit unboxed for 2 years) EA6500 before, it appears, the Firmware upgrade process completely broke the whole thing. Since my computer doesn't even manage to connect to the router on ANY level, I'm unable to see or change any settings or anything like that. I do have the "reset" button on the back of the router and I've tried it several times (including holding it for over 1 minute), but nothing makes any difference. Sorry about the lengthy post.... I probably could have explained this shorter: Router unresponsive - power LED fading up/down - Setup program does not find router. Anybody able to offer any help?? Thanks in advance.

If you have already tried to use other browsers or computer, try the management mode process. 1st you will need to download the firmware file and teh TFTP software. connect your computer to the modem inorder to have internet access (set your IP to obtain). Download the firmware here: http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=148365 TFTP software is available here: http://downloads.linksys.com/downloads/Tftp.exe Reconnect the computer back to the router and set it back to static IP. Follow this reset process in this link: http://www.linksys.com/ru/support-article?articleNum=140001 If it asks for a firmware, upload the file. If that doesn't work, proceed with TFTP upgrade. This link will help: http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=137928 I hope that helps!

Linksys Wireless-G Router won't connect

I just bought the Linksys Wireless-G version 6 router WRT54G. I have 3 computers. I wanted to connect my G4 to the router, use my new MacPro laptop, use the wireless for my Gateway downstairs, but it won't configure. I can't access the internet at all. Help please. We have spent a lot of time with their support people, but all they can say is that sometimes, Linksys will not work with Mac and gave up. What now?
Thank you in advance.

No matter what the techy blowhards say here, Linksys DOES NOT support useage by Mac users. You're on your own. I know this from personal experience ...
1. I had to go to the Apple Bar to get a Netopia wireless card programmed with my G4 laptop. Why? Because the titanium models' metal apparently interferes with Airport useage. This from the Apple tech, who was a dream in getting me started wirelessly.
2. I purchased a Linksys router, which SAYS "MAC" on the box, which is supposed to mean that it's for Macs AND PCs. Lo and behold, the CompUsa staff knew nothing about this (tired of no one knowing about Macs ... grrrr) and I had to take it home and program it myself. Which I did. And immediately was given .exe files to download from a CD to start. (of course, this is only for PC users!!!) I promptly called Linksys, where I was told, "oh, we don't know how to troubleshoot for Macs." I laughed and told them they shouldn't be selling equipment to Mac users and claiming that it works for Mac users when they couldn't provide the tech support or software for it! I was bumped up to "second tier support" (this is also typical, no one is trained on Mac issues ... anywhere.) where I was given the link to a site that had a driver I could use. Which I did. And it worked. HOWEVER ... I have had several instances where my card just stops working all of a sudden, usually for a minute or two (and yes, it's a PC card, as well ... should work SEAMLESSLY with a Linksys router), only the other day the "outage" lasted about 25 minutes. No, it wasn't my DSL line (which is crappy, given that service up here in the hills of SF stinks, no fiber optic upgrade for us ... in supposedly the "wireless capital" of the world. lol But that's another story -) ... that worked perfectly fine when hardwired into my laptop. It was the router. And once again, I called and was told, "well, you need the firmware update." (which someone else has mentioned here, fine, but ...) Of course, I was never sent an email notifying me of this (even though it took scads of info, including email addy, to register for this thing, as with other hardware/software) ... nonethless, once again I was bumped up to "second tier tech" whereby someone directed me to a linksys addy, to get the firmware. Lo and behold, I download it, and it's an .exe file. lol Bozos, all of 'em.
Linksys is NOT made for Macs. I can get mine to work, but it's really not worth the hassle. I should have found a way to use AirPort. Now, I'm going to make my daughter's desktop G4 wireless (my old 'puter) and I'm sure it'll be another huge hassle to do that with the same card I have in my laptop.
Bottom line is ... even though Apple stuff is more pricey, stick to Airport technology when you can. Unless you're prepared to pull your hair out getting PC-oriented stuff to work. And DON'T believe the hype. Most likely, if a PC-oriented piece of hardware says it works on a Mac, it's for the most part, B.S.

Sudden shut down, left with blinking power light (NOT in sleep mode)

Last night I boosted the RAM on my iMac G5 20" from 1.25GB to 2GB (added 1GB from Crucial.com). This morning I have twice experienced something I have never come across before.
I was using Garageband (my most memory intensive app) and the iMac just shut down w/o warning. I was left only with a flashing power light (and the power light on my USB music keyboard was flashing, too). It was NOT in sleep mode, and at first it would not start up again at all. It continued flashing even after the power was disconnected. After a few minutes the power button eventually started up the computer again.
This exact same scenario has occurred twice in 30 minutes.
A search of Apple support has simply told me that the flashing power light is to indicate sleep mode. Again, the computer was definitely not sleeping.
Any thoughts? Your help would be much appreciated.

Welcome to discussions - have you tried removing your new RAM stick to see if the problem goes away? You might also try resetting your SMU.
Please post back.

Wireless keyboard caps lock light not working

Hey, said it all in the title but here's the story...
Got home today and realized that the caps lock LED don't light up anymore. Has anyone else had similar problems? If so, how was your situation rectified?
The keyboard still works fine, don't think its a bad enough problem to have it replaced or be without it for ages. Could see if apple will allow a straight swap at the shop...

Hi Guys
Glad I've just found these posts. Got a new 27" iMac just before Christmas. Greatly relieved that everything worked despite all the reports of cracked screens, etc. BUT - only small problem was the Caps Lock light not always coming on. Rang Apple and got a replacement. Now today I'm having same problems - first the light froze and wouldn't go off. Then it wouldn't come on. I've now tried your advice of switching off the keyboard and taking out the batteries. Works OK now. Hopefuly it'll stay that way. Only thing is - pity Apple couldn't have given me that advice. Reading these posts, there is clearly an ongoing problem with the caps lock light on the wireless keyboard. A problem thats been around for months. Clearly Apple's poilicy, as always, is to admit nothing until it comes up with a fix. Pity that policy appears to extend to not even telling their own employees that there is a problem ...

Caps lock light not glowing

Hi, I have Compaq Presario V6810ei, with Windows Vista Home Premium(32 bit). The problem is LED of Numlock is not glowing whereas it's showing numlock status at right-bottom of screen and Caps Lock is working perfectly(just Caps lock LED/Light is not working). It happened w/o any OS crash or anything else. I don't know where is the issue my laptop's BIOS is upto-date. Please guide me how to resolve this issue. Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem and I think it started when I downloaded the SP2 for the Windows Vista. So probably it is not a problem of the laptop. I have an HP Pavilion dv9500 notebook PC.

I just bought the AIrport Extreme to replace an older Linksys wireless g router. But I am still getting a fairly low signal, not showing much improvement from the previous router. What gives?

I just bought the airport extreme router to replace my older linksys g router because of a poor signal. Now that I have the new router running, I'm not seeing much improvement from the previous router! What gives?

I too recently bought the Extreme to replace an old Linksys G and discoverd that the range of the new Extreme was surprising less than the Linksys.
Nothing had changed otherwise; both routers were installed in the same place (on floor, under a cabinet in the middle of my house).
I returned the Airport Extreme to Amazon and bought another (the latest version), and the same problem exists, i.e., I can't get a signal at the corners of my small home with the Airport, where I once could with the Linksys.
I'm puzzled, but think that difference must be that the Linksys has 2 large external antennas and the Extreme's antennas are mounted internally.
I've also noticed that Apple sells a wall mount for the Airport Extreme and am assuming this is to get the Airport up and out into the open in order to improve its 'send and receive' characteristics, no?
If your Extreme is hidden in a cabinet or under some piece of furniture, I suggest you move it into the open and see if this helps extend its range.
Hope this helps.

Apple Wireless Keyboard Blinking Green Light & Not Found

Hi all
I've had a wireless keyboard and mouse for the past 2 years which have given me no problems at all. Suddenly the keyboard has stopped working and when I looked for it on the bluetooth menu it said it wasn't connected. I tried to set it up with Bluetooth again but it can't be found. I replaced all the batteries and when I switch it on the green light blinks on and off for a while (which is when I tried to re-pair it with bluetooth) but then it stops blinking and stays off. Has anyone any ideas? Is the keyboard itself for the trash? The mouse continues to work fine.
thanks
WG

This morning, my Keyboard went into the fast blinking light state when I inadvertently pressed the power button when it was in the middle of pairing.
Here's what worked this time:
• Took out the batteries and left them out for > half an hour.
• Deleted the pairing in the bluetooth preferences.
• Made the MacBook Pro 'invisible' -> turn 'Discoverable' off.
(Because the keyboard tried to pair with the MBP again, which I denied)
• Put the batteries back.
• 'Set up new bluetooth device -> keyboard'
• Turned on the keyboard
• Paired again.

Monitor f1503 - blue led power light not showing power available. unable to turn on

Hi ,
I have had my f1503 monitor in storage for a while and it was working at last usage. Connected all power and PC connections correctly and turned the power on but no blue led light working and unable to turn on the monitor. Checked the power adaptor - green led lit on power transformer and 12.33 volts were showing at the output end of the monitor power plug. The monitor power plug was inserted into the correct socket. Please help?
Does the monitor have a fuse that may have blown?
This question was solved.

My linksys WI-FI Router EA2700 does not connect to the internet?

I connected my wireless router to my "speed touch" wireless modem" using the cisco setup cd, and in the first attempt i could access the router and teh internet. When i tried accessing the internet later in the evening, i was unable to connect. I tried different settings and even reset the device several times but it kept telling me that my ISP username and password was incorrect. I am sure that the username and password are correct but the device seems to think otherwise even thou it did connect the first time.
Would be grateful if anyone can help.

For wireless connectivity issues; try to optimize the router’s wireless settings through the following:
Use a wifi analyzer like http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/ to select a non-overlapping channel that can be assigned to the router
Relocate the router to a central location
Place the router on an elevated surface for better wireless coverage
Avoid placing the router on a metallic or glass surface to avoid wireless interference
Try to follow the following:
Connect your computer to the modem;
Check the modem’s ip address;
If you are getting a public ip address and you need to enter a username and password in order to get online, then set the router’s internet connection type to PPPoE;
If you are getting a private ip address, then set the router’s internet connection type to DHCP
