Linksys wrt54gl broadband limit problem

Hello.
I`ve recently bought a WRT54GL router, and I`m having some problems with it. The original firmware the router came with had a bug, and couldn`t even connect to a PPPOE network. I downloaded the latest firmware version for this model (4.30.14 build 5, Oct. 26, 2009). Now it can connect to PPPOE but the broadband speed is limited to ~ 30Mbits/s.
My ISP normally provides a download speed up to 80-90MBits/s, and if I bypass the router, and connect the internet cable directly to my PC, it works.
The QoS is disabled, so this can`t be the problem, but I searched the internet, and I found that it can be because the router`s CPU is too slow and can`t handle connections up to 80-90Mbit/s download speed, but this sounds a little bit weird to me.
Did any of you gus run into this problem? Is it a hardware problem, or a software one? Maybe there`s something I need to set up in the admin interface?
Thank you, Zoli

It is true that the date for the last firmware update is 10/19/2010, but unfortunately this is an error, because if you try to download the update you will see that the update actually is from 2009 not from 2010.
You can see it even on the download page:
Firmware:
10/19/2010
Ver.4.30.14

How to configure network printer with Linksys WRT54GL router network

I just bought a Linksys WRT54GL router and I am planning to build the following home-network around it:
1. A desktop computer connected to router via ethernet cable (hard-wired).
2. An HP Network Printer (Color LaserJet CM1312 MFP) connected to router via ethernet cable (hard-wired).
3. A notebook connected to router via Wi-Fi.
I want both computers (desktop and notebook) to be able to share files, and also to share the same network printer.
a. How do I do this?
b. Do I need to install the printer drivers in both computers as if the printer was local for each one?
c. What settings do I need to include in the Linksys router settings (and also the printer settings) to allow all this? I've read on the internet about DHCP configs, IP address, etc. but I hardly understand anything.
A step-by-step ("for dummies") explanation will be extremely appreciated.

You will need to install the printer driver on each computer that will be using the printer. You will need to have a printer driver that is designed to be used on a network. Many of HP's drivers (but not all of them) can be used for either a USB or a network connection.
Usually, when you use HP's printer installation software, it will walk you through the printer installation procedure, and install the printer drivers. This software is normally located on a CD that came with the printer. Some installation software demands that you setup a USB connection first, then switch to a network connection. Other installation software might install a network connection directly. Just follow the HP directions.
There are no special settings in the router. Simply wire (using an ethernet cable) your printer to a LAN port on the router, when the installation software (or instructions) tells you to do so.
Your printer will likely get a different LAN IP address (192.168.1.x ) from time to time. Some printer drivers can handle this and still work properly. Other printer drivers get confused, and cannot find your printer when it changes addresses. If your driver has this problem, then you will need to assign your printer a fixed LAN IP address. This will force the printer to have the same LAN IP address each time you boot up your network. If you need to do this, you will need to enter the LAN IP address directly into your printer (Sometimes this is done using the printer's buttons and display panel, and sometimes this is done using HP printer software). Note that any fixed LAN IP address must be outside your DHCP server range (defaults are 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149 ) , and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255. If you need to use a fixed LAN IP address, I would suggest you use 192.168.1.13 , which should be easy to remember by looking at the model number of your printer. If you need to use a fixed LAN IP address, you will also need to enter the Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway 192.168.1.1 , and DNS Server 192.168.1.1 , into your printer. If you use a fixed LAN IP address in the printer, you do not need to change any settings in the router. The router will automatically find your printer when you turn your printer on. Even if your printer is using a fixed LAN IP address, your computers can continue to get their address automatically from the router's DHCP server.

Linksys WRT54GL - illegal subnet mask message

Hello everybody,
I just changed the ISP and the new one is on optic fiber, and they arrived with theirs equipment, wich is a Huawey EchoLife HG856 and I connected it to my Linksys WRT54GL.
When I tried to configure the router with the settings gived by the provider i received the following message:
"illegal subnet mask".
The setting given to me by the provider are: (i replaced some numbers with *, for privacy)
Where is the problem?
adresa de IP: 1**.27.1*4.6
netmask: 255.255.255.128
gateway: 1**.27.1*4.1
DNS1: 1**.2*1.2*2.1
DNS2: 2**.1*4.1*4.1

Try to hard-reset the router for 1 minute,power cycle the router and check again.

Disconnected iPhone 4S causes Linksys WRT54GL v1.1 router to reboot?

Hello!
For the past several months, I noticed my old Linksys WRT54GL v1.1 router (using the latest stock firmware) likes to reboot. I think I finally figured out its pattern. I think my house mate's Apple iPhone 4S (iOS 5 [will 6 fix it?]) is making my router reboot. I know he uses the house's wireless Internet to avoid his Verizon's capped, slower 3G Internet connection. It seems like when he goes out and after a few minutes later, my router sometimes will reboot.
That makes no sense. Weird! I never see this problem if he is out of town for days/weeks. I don't know how that is related. Is there something funky with this router and iPhone 4S' wifi? Is it a known issue? Electronics are so weird!
Thank you in advance.

IT is still the router's problem.
Routers are not expensive. Get a new one.
Or, I think the WRT54 model routers can be re-flashed with the 'Tomato' or the 'dd-wrt' firmware.
Or you could chech if Cisco has its own firmware update for your router.
I did mention I was "using the latest stock firmware". I will see if a third party firmware will help even though it is tricky and easy to brick the router.

Linksys WRT54GL not logging for its "Incoming Log Table"?

Hello.
Is it me or does Linksys WRT54GL v1.1, with its firmware v4.30.13, not log "Incoming Log Table"? I see nothing in http://192.168.0.1/Log_incoming.asp (yes, I changed its IP address from its default 192.168.1.1). I do see logs in its outgoing though. I assume incoming log table is logging blockages and other datas.
Thank you in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Same problem in IE6, SeaMonkey v2.0.6, Firefox v3.5.11, etc. on two different computers (Windows XP Pro. SP3 and Debian/Linux). I only see:
Incoming Log Table
Source IP Destination Port Number
No IP addresses, etc. Just empty logs. I also tried power cycling the router too.

3GS and Linksys WRT54GL Hangs

Guys,
I've run into an interesting problem with my new 3GS. This is my first iPhone, and it doesn't appear to be playing nicely with my router. I know there are a few different threads on Wifi issues - but I think my problem is different. My 3GS Wifi connection seems to be fine - but I think it's causing my router to hang.
I have had a Linksys WRT54GL router running my home network for the past few years, and it has been flawless. However, after having bought my 3GS (picked up on Monday), my router has now hung twice - requiring a reboot. Here are the details.
Network:
- Linksys WRT54GL Router (wireless on, channel 9)
- PPPoE login to DSL through a Westell 327W router configured as a DSL modem (DHCP off, wireless off)
- WEP encryption on the router (128bit Hex), broadcast SSID off
- A second WRT54GL router configured as a wireless access point (DHCP off, wireless on, channel 9)
- Latest firmware on both Linksys devices
iPhone:
- Wifi left on all the time (phone goes to sleep, wakes up and reconnects fine)
- No 3G in this area, so 3G turned off
- Email set to 'push'
In both cases, my router has hung overnight. I woke up in the morning with no internet connection - wired or wireless. I have two computers hardwired to the router, and they lose connectivity to the network as well. The only solution is to power cycle the router. The router configured as an access point appears to be unaffected. At the moment, I'm wondering if it is somehow related to the IP address lease time - and the iPhone being set to push with wireless on. However, I'm not sure if push uses wifi at all if the phone is asleep.
I'm going to try some experiments, but they will probably take a while. I'm going to try going a few nights with the wireless on the phone turned off. Then I'm going to try going to 'fetch' instead of 'push'. The last thing I'm going to try is swapping the 'routers'. One is newer than the other, so I suppose the older one could be failing - but it just seems odd. It's only a couple of years old.
Does anyone have any other thoughts? Has anyone else noticed router hangs?
Thanks,
Mike

I left my phone turned on last night with the WIFI on. I left early this morning and didn't check the router but it is fine this evening.
I am not sure what was going on when I restarted my router the other day but I remember that neither the iPhone nor my MacBook were able to connect to the internet. My modem appeared to be functioning fine by the lights so I did not restart it.
All has been fine since I restarted the one time.
The only thing I can possibly think of is that both my 3G and my 3Gs have the same name and were both on at the time. The 3G is not active and has a different MAC address so that really shouldn't bother the router. I am just guessing AT&T would deny it access to the internet.

Hi all, just bought a new WRT54GL but having problems

Hi everyone this maybe a newbie esque question but anyway, I connect to the internet though a Linksys AM200, never had problems, my old USB dongle that I use for my Xbox Live stuff broke so I bought a WRT54GL Wireless Router, but as soon as I set it up I get a pop up saying 'The Router cannot connect to the modem/internet (cant remember which) Try switching the modem off then turn on, Do you want to try again?' or whatever, and I get absolutely nowhere with it, any help appreciated

Are you connecting the WRT54GL to the x-box or to the modem...? How you are trying to configure the WRT54GL....?
WRT54GL is a wireless router,not an Wireless adapter and it is not a substitute for the USB adapter.To configure the WRT54GL,you need to hardwired it with the modem.

C2D MacBook and Linksys WRT54GL

I'm going to buy new C2D MacBook. At home I have Linksys WRT54GL wireless router. PC laptop running Windows XP connects to it without problems. Can I expect any problems with MacBook?

i see memory used : 90%

Where did you see the memory usage? The firmware on the router might not be updated so it is best that you do an upgrade. Make sure to reset and reconfigure the router after that.

Windows 8.1 account limit problem when downloading from store

windows 8.1 account limit problem when downloading from store
I have 250 windows 8.1 tablets.
I figured since you can use the same account on 81 devices id create 4 accounts.
I need to download more than 25 free apps from the store
on each tablet. Putting the same account don't work. (comes up with an error after putting on to many devices that you cant use this account now).
Whats the best way to do this ? and what if I need to download a paid app ?
Thank You.

I have the Aiport T-2 and need to access it outside my home for checking my security cameras and can't seem to get it done. With my Linksys I had no problems. Any suggestions?

I have a Airport T-2 and need to access it with my IPhone using Verizon outside the home Wi Fi on my 4S. Any ideas as with the old Linksys it was no problem.

Have you forwarded the required ports?
How are you doing remote access from phone?
The TC is designed to work with BTMM and iCloud but that is not available to the iphone.
Look at Tesserax's work on remote access and port mapping here.

Configuring X5 with Linksys WRT54GL in full and half bridge mode

Hi
I have a Linksys WRT54GL and I want to configure this one with my Zoom X5. How I can configure the Zoom X5 in Full Bridge Mode with my WRT54GL? My other questions is that I can configure my PC (Win XP) with my X5 in half bridge mode successful (It lease a Valid ISP IP address), but when I configure my WRT54GL this one don t lease a valid address. How can I configure the WRT54GL or the X5?
Thanks.

once the modem is configured in full bridge mode , setup a PPPoE connection on the router....use the username and password provided by the ISP to configure the PPPoE connection....

Opening ports on Linksys WRT54GL router

I have a Linksys WRT54GL router hooked up to a Power Mac G4 running the latest version Tiger. I need to configure the router so that I can permit iChat to function properly. Which ports do I need to open to make this happen?

Hio Roland,
This device should have UPnP in the Administration page
It should look like this http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/iChatPicsFolder/8ModemRouter/Linksys%20Router/slides/5_RouterModem-UPnP.html
The IP 192.168.1.1 used in a web browser (no http or www) will get you the pop up.
The User ID and Paasword are both admin by default.
That should get you to the Basic Set Up page
Choose Administration and set UPnP and Save settings.
DO not have anything in Port Forwarding or Port Triggering.
In the Security page Disable Blocking Anonymous Pings
