My WRT54g2 can't see the internet through my wrt54g...

My company gave me a new laptop that will not allow WEP connectivity. I need wep for printers and other devices on my network so I bought a new wrt54g2 to handle WPA wireless and plugged it into one of the open ports on the old router. I went into the admin and configured everything to my liking but for some reason it won't grab a connection... What do I need to do to get it to see the internet through the old router...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If connecting one router to another, connect the two together by the networking ports. Then turn off the DHCP server on the second router, which sounds like the WRT54G2 in this case. You will probably also have to reconfigure the Local IP Address of the second router so it in the same IP range as the first router but outside of the first router's DHCP server addresses. For example if router one's Local IP Address is set to 192.168.1.1, then set router two's Local IP Address to 192.168.1.5 (or something along those lines).
Or switch the routers around and use the WRT54G2 as the main router and the older one configured for WEP as the secondary router and turn of DHCP on the secondary router. Other changes like reconfiguring the second router's Local IP Address will still have to be made. Or check your existing wireless devices configured for WEP to see if they will support or can be updated to support WPA or WPA2. If so remove the existing router and use the WRT54G2 in its place.
Also, make sure both routers have different wireless SSID names and are on different wireless channels to avoid conflict.

    I have a Netgear WNR2000 router and an Edimax EW-7438RPn wifi range extender.  I have gotten the range extender to work well with my MacBook Air, however, while my iPhone 3Gs and iPad mini can pick up the wireless signal from the range extender, they cannot get to the Internet through it.  No IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, or DNS appear in the details on either the iPhone or the iPad mini.   How do I get the iPhone and the iPad to connect to the Internet.   It seems that the problem is with the iPhone and iPad, since the MacBook Air works just fine with this set up.  

    Junglemania,
    Go into the setup page of the EW-7438RPn.  Go to Wireless Advanced Settings.  There is a WMM settings.  Make sure the WMM is enabled. 
    This may help you out.

    Hello LOUISE80, try a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    * Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    * Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.

  • How can  we see the desktop through a java frame by using JNI?

    How to make a java frame transparent( so that we can see the desktop through it) by JNI? I have seen some code to take a snapshot of the desktop. But is there any code so that the desktop is fully or partially visible through a frame?

    Please take your time to write full words: "you" instead of "u", "your" instead of "ur". It makes your posts a lot easier to read, especially for those of us who don't have English as their native language.
    You can not really "modify" the behaviour of a method by using a proxy, but you can create a proxy, direct all but one method to the original method and provide a separate implementation for the target method.
    This way you'll have two objects with the same interface (not only in the Java sense, but all methods look the same), but differing behaviour: the original object and the proxy.
    Now if you pass around the proxy instead of the original object, then it'll look as if you changed the behaviour of your object.

  • One computer of 3 on a wifi network can't see the internet

    I tried a no-no earlier this week and have had a serious problem ever since. I tried to share files over a AE wifi network which was also carrying a cable modem. Everything stopped working, but after considerable sweat, I got two of my three computers (both OS 10.3.9 working fine. My primary computer however does not yet have internet connectivity. I can turn airport on, and it connects up fine, but for some reason my computer thinks that the cable modem is plugged into the ethernet port, instead of the SE base station.
    I have tried everything I can think of, and a few desperation measures but nothing has worked so far. I tried fixing permissions, trashing the internet connectivity plist, and every permutation of settings of things that I could think of. I have left the base station alone, since it is working fine with the other two computers which both enjoy internet connectivity.
    Any ideas?

    Sharing files over a WiFi network created by an Airport Express (which also happens to be sharing a cable internet connection) is not a "no-no". It should work perfectly. The mistake many people make is to assume they need to select the option from the Airport menu to "create a computer to computer network" - and that is neither necessary nor correct. That being said...
    Open System Preferences->Network. Make sure the "Automatic" location is chosen. In the Show drop down box, select "Network port configurations". In the list that appears (a) drag Airport to the top of the list and (b) make sure the box next to Airport is checked. Then go back to the Show drop down box and select Airport. Under the TCP/IP tab, make sure you have selected to "configure using DHCP" and that all other fields are left blank. Then go back to your Mac's Airport menu (top of the screen), make sure Airport is turned on, and select to connect to your Airport Express wireless network.
    Also - make sure that in System Preferences->Network->Sharing, that "internet connection sharing" is not enabled (just in case you messed with it when you were trying to set up file sharing).

  • Browser window is not opening on my Aspire One Netbook even though Firefox is launching; how can I fix this if I can't access the internet through a browswer?

    Everything on my Acer Aspire One Netbook (with a Limpus Light OS (Linux)) works fine except for a few weeks ago Firefox stopped opening up the browser window. I know my internet connection is fine because I can access my email through the netbook's email interface. Also, I've received messages indicating it couldn't open Firefox because Firefox was already running and I needed to shut down the one running first.

  • Can't connect to internet through WRT54G

    I can connect to the internet through DSL modem but cannot when going through the WRT54G.  All lights on router lit correctly.  Actually set up this router 6 months ago or so and worked both wired and wirelessly for awhile.  Then could only access internet wirelessly with laptop.  Started messing with the router to get it to work wired with desktop but now won't work.  Can access the router set-up page but not sure what to change.  Saw somewhere to change the routers IP address to 192.168.2.1  didn't solve the prblem.  Have tried restoring factory defaults, recommended power on/off sequences (modem, router,pc) and holding reset button for 30 seconds.  Also tried Easy connect tool on the Linksys site.  Icon in lower right of pc screen indicates status as connected but still cannot connect to internet.  Any help is very much appreciated.

    I had the very same problem with the same model router. It turned out to be the Security setting in Internet Options. The security setting was on Medium. After changing it to Medium-Low, I could connect to the internet through the router.
    If you are not familiar with changing the Security setting, let me know and I will reply with the steps to take.

  • Can't see the forest . . .

    I can't see the forest through the trees.
    The forest here is the expression "code to the interface".
    The trees are Java interfaces.
    I think I understand interfaces:
    1. a way to get classes to promise to implement code
    2. a way for un-related classes to exhibit the same behavior
    3. a way to get around single inheritance
    I'm having trouble making the connection between what I know about interfaces and the expression "code to the interface".
    Can anyone explain this in plain English?
    e.g.
    It means;
    1. you should . . . . .
    2. you shouldn't . . . . .
    3. try to . . . . .
    Thank you.

    It means do this:
    public void someMethod(SomeInterface s) {and not this:
    public void someMethod(SomeClassThatHappensToImplementSomeInterface s) {or to do this:
    SomeInterface s = new SomeClassThatHappensToImplementSomeInterface();and not this:
    SomeClassThatHappensToImplementSomeInterface s = new SomeClassThatHappensToImplementSomeInterface();

    Connecting the iPad to the internet via the iPhone is done by setting up a personal HotSpot, but you have to have that supported by your carrier and have to have established the account to do so.

  • Can't connect to the internet through router

    I have an HP Pavillian DV6 laptop, DSL connection through ATT, a Linksys wireless N router.  It had been working fine for abourt 7 months, Then all of a sudden I lost my network connection.  I clicked in the right hand corner to connect to the network & it was gone.  I have tried to re-run the software for the router & I get to where it wants to connect to the internet & it won't.  I have tried to log into the router to run the setup on the internet explorer page using 192.168.1.1 I now can find my network, I click connect, it says it is connected, but no internet.  I can connect to the internet if I plug the modem directly into my laptop, but once I connect from the modem to the router, it will not connect to the internet. I have been searching HP, CIsco, & even my maker of my wirelkess card to see if there were any driver updates.  My wireless card says it is up to date.  I tried to rest my BIOS, that didn't help either.  I'm stumped, & I've spent entirely too much time trying to figure this out with no success, PLEASE HELP!!!!! 

    Reset your router to defaults. Here's the procedure.
    Reconfigure the router so it would connect to the internet. Here's the procedure.
    Reconfigure your wireless settings. Here's the procedure. I suggest you set your SSID to something unique. In addition, set your wireless security to WPA or WPA2. Don't use WEP as it is insecure.
