Linksys WTRG54 won't work with Motorola Surfboard

I just bought this Linksys WRT54G, and it won't connect to my Motorola Surfboard modem. I can connect to the router wirelessly from my Macbook, I just can't get online. I'm sure it's the router's problem because I can't even log in to the modem when I'm connected to the router. I checked all my connections repeatedly, tried updating the firmware, and many many power cycles. Also did a lot of googling and tried other solutions. Are they just not compatible with each other?
One thing is though, the very first time I hooked it up, it was working. Then I power cycled it and it won't work now.

Have you configured the Linksys to clone the MAC address on record with your ISP? Sometimes this is required by the ISP. I use Comcast, a Moto 6120, and a D-Link router, and had to do this.
If this is not relevant, perhaps you can provide the hardware version of your Linksys WRT54G, model of Moto Surfboard, and your ISP and general geographic location, in hopes someone can help.

  • Airport Express not working with Motorola Surfboard Sb6141 and TWC

    My 2012 Airport Express was working fine with my Motorola Surfboard Sb6141 and TWC until about a week ago when the signal started dropping constantly. I hard wired the modem to my computer and everything worked fine. I took the Airport Express to the Genius Bar and it is working fine. I have followed the instructions posted throughout this board to reset the AE to factory settings, then turn everything off for 1/2 hour, turn on just the modem, the the AE 15 minutes later and the computer 15 minutes after that, but to no avail. When I try to set up the AE using Airport Utility, it allows me to assign a name and password, but then the light goes to solid amber and I get "An unexpected error occurred. Try again." Any ideas?

    I'm still struggling trying to get the SB6141 to stay connected with my Airport Extreme but it drops altogether every day or 2 but if you're looking for an alternative, I've heard the Netgear CMD31T works well with the airport.

  • Help!! How can I get my timemachine to work with motorola router

    I just had comcast installed in home.  Apple router is not working with motorola sb510u

    You may need to reset your broadband modem to convince it to connect to a "new" device.  Depending on the model of modem, that can be as easy as removing power for a few moments.  If that doesn't work, remove power and wait 15 minutes.  Further reset steps can involve pressing a "reset" button or removing a battery if the modem has one.  In the worst case, your ISP may need to edit its settings to update to the MAC address of the new router.  If they won't or can't do that, powering down the modem for 16 to 36 hours can reset the connection.

  • My Viewsonic monitor won't work with the Imac using the Mini Port to DVI adapter.

    My Viewsonic monitor won't work with the Imac using the Mini Port to DVI adapter. I also tried the HDMI to DVI adapter ane the Mac-Mini with same result. The monitor does work on my older Macbook Pro that has the DVI connector. Is it a Software/Driver issue ?

    Should be extremely simple, please carefully read Connect multiple displays to your Mac. If you still have problems then it's probably a cable issue that would be resolved by replacing the adapter cable. You should be using this adapter. If you are using a third party adapter that might be your problem!

  • New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3 says it needs 11.1 but I cannot load that on my macbook using OSX 10.5.8 any way around this?

    New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3, says it needs 11.1 or newer but I cannot load that onto my MacBook running on OSX 10.5.8 - is there anyway around this?

    No. If your MacBook has an Intel processor you can update to OSX 10.6.8 and then install the latest iTunes.
    A 5G iPod with iOS 7 requires that if you have a Mac you have OSX 10.6.8 or later.
    You can get 10.6.8 here:

  • I would like to update to Firefox 5.0.1, but I can't due to, too many things won't work with the version & will be disabled.

    I have wanted to update from 3.6.22, to 5.0.1, but can't do to the following reasons: I can't due to, too many things won't work with the version & will be disabled. They are: Microsoft. NET Framework Assistant 1.2.1, Iconix 3.90.1, HP Detect 1.0.5.1, Yahoo! Toolbar 2.3.5.201101200332202 (I don't care about Yahoo! Toolbar, because I don't use it!). As soon as these issues are fixed, I will be able to update, to the latest versions. These issues should be fixed & ready to work, before a new version is available. Thank you!

  • FM transmitter won't work with my iPhone

    I bought a Premier FM transmitter from Auto Zone the other day. It has a 30-pin connector with an led panel that lights up when you connect it to an apple device. It's suppose to work with all 30-pin devices but doesn't work with my iPhone 4 (iOS 7.1.2). I have tried it with my iPod Touch 2g and two other iPhone 4's that belonged to my friends, and it worked with all three devices. Any explanation why it won't work with mine?

    "the Middle East" is a really big place. I suspect you bought a gray market hacked phone. Call Apple Care and give them the serial number. Maybe they can tell you if it's locked and to what carrier.

    The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
    1)  I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access.  But do I have to  change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
    Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
    So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
    2)  Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
    N.Korean hackers.
    [Edit] Whoops-- one more question:  I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it.  What do I need to do?
    You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
    Look at Q3 here.

    Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together.

  • RoboHelp for Word installed from RoboHelp 10 won't work with Word 2010

    I have a Help project created in RoboHelp for Word 8.  I recently upgraded from Word 2007 to Word 2010 and discovered that RH8 for Word won't work with Word 2010.  So I purchased RoboHelp 10 and have installed RoboHelp for Word from it.  Alas, RH for Word STILL won't work with Word 2010.  When I try to open my project, I get this message:
    Before I bought RH10, I live-chatted with an Adobe sales person who assured me it was compatible with Word 2010.
    BTW, I tried to roll back to Word 2007, but I was getting weird behavior running Word, so I have reinstalled Word 2010 and want to stay there.
    Any ideas?

    I have just installed Rh10 for Word on a new machine and initially I got this message.
    I wonder if you have followed those instuctions? I changed the setting to Enable All.
    The other possibility is what do you have set for the default version? If it is 2007 and that no longer exists on your machine, then Rh will not be able to proceed. The dropdown should show 2010

  • Outlook Email script won't work with Reader 9.1

    The attached form was designed in ES 8.2 and has worked fine with Reader 8.0. The "properties defaults" tab is set for Reader 9.0 or better. However, upon recent upgrade to Reader 9.1, the Outlook Email script stopped working. I'm new to Livecycle and scripts and was hoping that someone had an easy fix?

    okay thanks. One more question. What script is used to activate the "read receipt requested" function in Outlook?

    Interesting .....it sounds like an issue in Reader. From a code perspective everything is good .....the code tells Reader's email service to communicate with the mail client. This could be where the issue is.
    You may want to post your question on the Acrobat forum and see if they know of anything .....or you can report the issue to Support and have them look into it. Maybe something was introduced into the 9.1 version.
    From a Designer perspective all is good.
