Loosing modem connection WRT54GS v6
I have recently purchased the WRT54GS ver6 and continuously loose the connection from the modem to the router. I have one wired, one wireless and both will work fine for 1-2 hrs, then lose the connection from the modem. I run the Easy Link advisor, it finds the router, the two pc's, but no modem. I power down then power up the modem and click the "fix connection", it goes through the two pages then connection established.... every time. It finds the router, the two pc's but always has to have the modem restarted.
Frustrated,

Thanks for the response, totally appreciate the help. The version I have, the version they try to have me download now is 1.50.9. Where do I get the version 1.01.0? When was it released? Version 1.50.9 was released just this October.
thanks again

I had been using a WRT54G Router for a year. I have Comcast Cable as my provider and I was able to get connected and stay connected with my 4 machines at home, 2 wired and 2 wireless.
A month ago I decided to upgrade to the WRT100 Router and since than it has been a problem to get all the machines connected, I find myself power cycling the router 3 or 4 times daily to recover my lost connection, I tried LELA, and every time I loose my connection, it tells me to power cycle the router and often it tells me to power cycle the modem, which is a pain since I have to take the battery first, then unplug, put the battery back and plug it back in. I now just a bit about networking and need some help solving this issue.
I am an IP of 192.168.1.1
Sub-net mask: 255.255.255.0
I m using DHCP reservation
My IP address start at 192.168.100 to 149
I am using manual wireless protection BG-Mixed (I do not have N clients)
Radio Band Standard 200MHz Channel
Wide and Standard Channel are Auto
SSID Broadcast is enable
Security Mode is WPA2 Personal
Thank you

How To Connect WRT54GS Wirelessly
I have a WRT54GS router that I want to setup wirelessly with my Windows XP desktop that only has a wireless adapter installed. There is no ethernet port on the pc. I have looked at the Stickys and read the FAQ but still haven't found an answer that clearly states how to setup the router without using an ethernet cable connected to the pc. I want to have the ability to access the web based setup page as well so that I can secure my settings. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Generally, it's better to configure the router through a wired connection to be sure you configure your router and not someone else's... Thus if you have any wired ethernet device it's better to use that instead of trying a wireless only setup.
You can set it up only through wireless, however, you should make sure you are connected to your router in the beginning. Easiest test would be to unplug your router from power and check for available wireless networks. If there is still another "linksys" network to be seen, you must be extra careful.
Anyway, then plug your router back into power. Make your computer search for networks and connect to the unsecured "linksys" network. It's best to put the computer close to the router for this to make sure you connect to your router.
Then open the web interface at http://192.168.1.1/ default password should be "admin", no username required.
To be sure it's your router, go to the Status page, check it's really a WRT54GS and check the MAC address you see there. It should be the same as the one printed underneath the WRT (maybe one or two off in the last digit). If it's a completely different MAC address, check the LAN and wireless subtabs and the MAC addresses shown there. If all MAC addresses are completely different, unplug the router from power and see if your computer is still connected to the web interface or not.
Anyway, once you have established it's really the web interface of your router, check the firmware version and on the router and the one available online. It's best to upgrade the firmware before you do the configuration. If you have the latest firmware you have to configure the router. I would recommend the following steps:
1. Go to the Wireless page. Change the SSID to something unique. Save settings.
2. You'll loose the connection. Make your computer search for networks again. You should now see the new unique SSID. Connect to that network and open the web interface again.
3. Next set up wireless security. Enable WPA2 Personal with AES encryption and set a strong passphrase. Save settings. You'll loose the connection again.
4. Now you have to reconnect. Depending on your computer and the software use to configure the wireless you may have to remove the unique SSID first from the list of preferred network before you can reconnect. The computer usually remembers the SSIDs joined before and won't connect if the security settings don't match the one used before. But you have to find that out.
5. As you are still using XP the computer may not support WPA2 or AES encryption (which is the best and strongest you can use today). Thus, if you are absolutely not able to reconnect the computer you will have to reset the router to factory defaults pressing the reset button for 30 seconds and start over. Choose WPA Personal with TKIP and a strong passphrase then. That should work. I would not recommend to use WEP which is easily cracked.
6. Once you have managed to set up your desktop to connect to your secured wireless network you should make one more change: change the default password "admin" on the "Administration" setup page.
7. Remember to clean up the list of preferred wireless networks, in particular, don't forget to remove the "linksys" network from that list. Otherwise your computer may automatically connect to a "linksys" network if one comes available in the proximity.
That should be it. -

Problem connecting wrt54g to comcast
I just got connected to Comcast on a Motorola Cable Modem SBVS220. I have a linksys WRT54G with the latest firmware. I've set the linksys to factory default settings. The modem connected directly to computer works great. When I connect the modem to the linksys I have no internet access. The ip I get from modem to computer is 98.212.248.70 subnet is 255.255.240.0 and the gateway is 98,212,240,1. When the router is connected to the modem the internet light is not on. Do I need to change my settings on the router or is it messed up?
Thanks,
Jeff SollarsYes. You need to change some settings on the router. Here's the procedure.

Connecting WRT54G and Motorolla SBV5220
Dear all,
I have tremendous problems having WRT54G workign after cable Motorolla router. If I connect motorolla directly via cable to the PC, there is internet. if I connect WRT54G to Motorolla unit and former to the computer, there is none, neither wired or wireless. I explored variety of tricks but nothing helped. Suspisioucly in statu IP never become a number for WRT54G. I restarted and reset WRT54G numerous times, I also changed it's IP to 192.168.2.1 in case it might a conflict with Motorolla. Nothing works
thanks
My WRT54G settings are default, 8.2.03 build 008, <script type="text/javascript">// Capture(month.num11) // </script> Nov. 8, 2007 , automatic DHCPWell....you have two choices. I would recommend that you unplug your motorola modem from the electrical outlet for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes plug it back in, now try.
If that doesn't work, then clone your pc's mac address. search forum for instructions. -
I had to change my cable modem. After replacing the modem, the WRT54G seems to connect but
fails to obtain an IP address. When I connect a computer directly to the modem I have no problem
connecting to DHCP. What am I doing wrong?Never mind. Went back and read the very helpful general instructions.
I think this MAC cloning issue is new, previously I had everything
working with MAC cloning disabled.
Be that as it may, following instructions fixed it, thanks for having those
up there and sorry for cluttering up the forum. If there were a way to delete

Comcast Troubles with RCA modem and WRT54G
Can anyone help me set up my router with comcast? I have searched the web endlessly trying to find a fix to set up my router with my modem. When my computer is hard wired into my RCA modem thinks work like a breeze. AS soon as I connect my router things go south. I have endlessly tried cloning Mac address, power cycles (removed battery), to no avail.
Currently I have
Comcast Triple Play with an RCA Modem
Linksys WRT54g running Tomatoe firmware.
Im wondering if the firmware is the issue, or perhaps I am missing a step with that firmware.
Any help would be much appreciated.I have no knowledge about tomato firmware and how to configure it. However, configuration should be the same with Linksys firmware. It might be on a different tab or different name though. Here's the configuration.

EA6500 Loosing internet connection
Hi there
Last try before I send this piece of junk back to the dealer, and NEVER recommend Linksys again...
I have what appears to be a EA6500 model 1, it often looses internet connection. Sometimes there will be days in between, sometimes not. I usually cycle the power and leave it be for 10 minutes, and then it works againg. Also sometimes I need to reapply the latest patch - which is very old by now...
Any ideas, or should I just give up? I have tried most things now, except writing here, so you guys are my last resort!
JacobHi pkk888. Have you checked your internet connection directly to your modem? If yes, what IP address are your getting behind the modem?

I have BT Infinity at home with the BT modem connected to the phone line and then to a BThub which delivers the wif signal. I have purchased an airport extreme to improve wi fi strength if how do I connect up to hub it states connect modem to WAN on back of Airport Extreme.
Instructions do not mention connection to BT Hub and the BT modem has only one output which you dicsonnect from Hub and connect to airport extreme leaving. Once you do this Hub has no signal.
How do I rectify
Paulyou can also set up the Airport extreme to extend the wireless by hitting the wireless tab in the airport menu then click the drop down menu to select extend
Apple's "extend" function is a proprietary setting that was designed to only work with other Apple routers.
It would be extremely unlikely that this setting would work with a BT product, or any other manufacturer's product for that matter.
But, I haven't tested this with a BT product...and I suppose anything is possible.
Still, I would be extremely surprised if this worked.
The AirPort Extreme might "join" the BT network if you try this......but the AirPort does not provide any additional wireless signal coverage when it "joins" a wireless network. In fact, it really does nothing when it "joins" a network except enable the USB port. -
How do I share a 3G USB modem connected to my Macbook Pro with my Airport Express?
Hi. I have a 3g USB modem connected to my macbook pro, and I want to try share the signal with my Airport Express (latest model).
Now before everybody screams that it can't be done, I was searching the forums and found a discussion in which someone describes how to do it from 2008, unfortunately it is archived and I couldn't ask the author directly, and the description doesn't go into much detail.
In the thread, the author describes turning internet sharing on to share the USB modem, creating a network on the macbook, then renaming the Airport Express network name the same as the macbook, and setting the AX to Join a Network.
Problem being there is no description of whether the macbook connected to the AX via ethernet or wifi, what settings were changed on the AX eg bridge mode.
Is this possible in theory, and has anybody had any success sharing a 3g USB modem via a macbook pro to an AX? I know there are other options like getting 3g ethernet modems, unfortunately not an option in this case - new house, waiting for DSL to be installed, 2-3 month wait.
ThanksWell, you cannot use the 3G USB modem plugged directly into the Express. However, you can configure your MacBook Pro to do 'Internet sharing' (SysPrefs>Sharing) over the Ethernet port, and then connect your Express into the Ethernet port. Alternatively, you could always get your MacBook to 'create a wireless network'.

You could always look for open WiFi networks to *cough*borrow*cough* . -
Mac Mini Late 2012 OS X 10.9.4 loosing network connectivity
I haven't found the exact issue on the forums nor outside it so I'm creating a new thread.
My Late 2012 Mini started loosing network connectivity after upgrading to 10.9.4, both WiFi and Ethernet.
Sometimes it takes around 5 minutes, sometimes more than 30 but the connectivity gets disrupted continuously, the packets stop going in or out for around 30 seconds. I've done PRAM and SMC resets, I've changed network locations, nothing helps and I've found nothing interesting in the system logs.
Also I can't login to the Apple bugtracker due to some error so I'm reporting it here.
The only USB devices i have connected are keyboard and mouse.
Any help will be appreciated.

OS X 10.9.4 MavericksPlease read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
My i phone 4 keeps loosing its connection with my Toyota Camry bluethoth does anyone know what I can do about that?
Ignore the ridiculous post by W1$C. He posts that regardless of the person's question.
Things you can do to solve your problem:
1. General>Settings>Reset Network settings
2. If this is only happening at home, power down your router for a minute, then power it back up.
3. Other basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide are to restart, reset, and restore--first from backup, then if needed as a new device.
Hope this helps.

Keep loosing the connection to my 30" display
Hi
I've just bought a MacBook Pro 17" + and adapter to my 30" Apple Cinema Display.
There seems to be an annoying issue however; 3-4 times during a work day I loose the connection to the 30" display. This happens without any prior notice. I don't mess with the cables or anything. Everything is plugged in nicely and securely, and the weirdest thing is that even thought the connection is lost to the screen itself my mouse and keyboard (which are connection through the screen) still works.
I need to unplug the adapter to the mini display port 1-3 times before the connection is reestablished.
3-5 times during the day what also happens is that the screen "blinks" for about 1-2 seconds (goes dark) and then goes on again ... causing me to hold my breath hoping the connection is not lost again
Is this a knows issue? And what to do?
Regards,
DanielCan I "change the channel"?
Of course. You would change the channel on the wireless router creating the wireless network. The AX will automatically detect the channel that the wireless network is using. -
Wifi is not available where I come from. I have broadband connection where data transmission is through cell sites then to USB modem connected to a computer. The modem draws power from the computer. Will this setup work with the ipad?
iPad requires Wifi (or 3G /LTE) to connect to the Internet. You cannot connect a USB modem to the iPad.
You can create your own WiFi hotspot through your computer for your iPad to connect to, if your computer supports this functionality. All Wifi Macs and many Wifi PCs do. Check your computer manual for how to do it.
