No internet for WRT54G ver. 5

lately, I've had to connect straight to my computer from my modem and my family hasn't gotten any internet from me.
Things I have tried, unplugging, and plugging in router AND modem.
I've tried restarting my computer aswell.
Yesterday I got a xbox360 and I can't be connected to both at the same time anymore because the router stopped letting internet pass through it.
My computer responds to the router, it just doesn't allow internet anymore.
Does anybody have any help?
(ALSO- I looked for software, and its a .bin file. What ever that is)

Who is your ISP?

  • Why there is no update for WRT54G Ver 7?

    Why there is no update for WRT54G Ver 7? I can only see Ver 1, 1.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8

    hi  Gavlin:
    You would downknow the firmware of wrt54g v7 at the www.linksys.com.cn ,this is the chinese web .

  • Step by step complete setup for WRT54G ver.6 with Laptop and XBOX 360

    Hello.  I am sorry to post this, I am sure it is a juevenile and redundent question...but I have tried to look for the set up cd (I can find where to download it...though I can find the firmware upgrade or whatever).  My friend at work said it would do all the setup pretty much automatically for me.  
    I somewhat know computers, but you might go ahead and make your replies VERY lamen's terms or I might not be able to follow.  Anyways, what I need, is a step by step/screen by screen directions for a secure network.  I have made a partial attempt at setting it up and it technically works, but I would feel better if I did the steps a-z in order, so I know that it is done correctly.  I also am not totally confident in its security as it is now.  (Also, technically, I did not check the XBOX again after getting the new laptop, I am just assuming it is still working because it was before).
    My problem is I can't seem to find very good directions for setting up the router...I only find partials or confusing directions.
    So here are the things I am trying to connect:
    Liksys WRT54G ver. 6
    Gateway Laptop running Windows Vista
    XBOX 360 - WIRED
    (I had a PC and a laptop, but they both died at the same time and I have only been able to replace the laptop at this point...the PC will come later and not sure at this point if it will be Wired or not).
    I have a cable Modem between the Router and the wall...I didn't look at that for brand/etc...but I can get it ASAP if needed.
    Here are the settings that I have so far:
    Changed the Router Name
    Changed the SSID
    Have DHCP set to 3  (XBOX, PC, Laptop)
    Wireless SSID Broadcast: Disable
    Username and Password changed to my own info
    UPnP: Enable
    I may have changed other things without knowing it.  So like I said, a complete, step by step screen by screen set up would be totally appreciated.  I haven't done anything in the security tab, all that is totally foreign to me, so I am just not broadcasting for now until I can get some help setting things up with you guys.
    And if someone is familiar with the Laptop/XBOX 360 setup, and I need to change any of the settings on the XBOX itself, could you please include that in your directions?  I know that isn't technically what THIS forum is for, but it would sure be helpful to me if you happen to know both parts anyways.
    Thanks a lot (in advance)!

    So all you just need to do is, secure your Wireless Network. Follow the setps bellow and change the settings on your Router.
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
    Click on the Wireless tab
    - Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
    - Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
    - Set the Wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
    Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
    For Wireless Security : -
    Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
    Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select TKIP...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
    NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...
    Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
    Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

  • Problems with password for WRT54G ver. 6

    I just bought the router today and when I run the disc that came with the router it prompts me to enter a password and I can't get past that part of the process. I follow the directions exactly and then it tells me to put in some password. It starts with five letters already there and I press enter but it still comes back to put in a password. I tried putting in admin and it didn't work as it just gave me back the same password screen.
    When I have the router connected through my modem it says that my local area connection is actually connected but I can't do anything on the Internet. I was able to connect wirelessly on my laptop but still couldn't use the Internet. If anyone could help me figure out how to fix this that'd be swell.

    Okay, I was able to now get to the router setup with 192.168.1.1 and I can advance past the password part, but when it attempts to connect to the Internet it tells me that my router can't recognize the Internet. When it gave me the advanced options about the connection it started with static IP and I put in the numbers that were the same under my local area connection, but when I tried to save those under the setup for the router it told me that the WAN and LAN addresses were the same. That's the problem I now face.

  • Major Internet Problems, WRT54G ver.6

    I bought a new linksys wireless router a few months ago to go with my new laptop, I set it all up and installed the software it worked fine for a few months. But two or three months ago it suddenly stopped transmitting the internet through the signal, my computer could connect to it but there wasn't any internet. I plugged directly into the modem and it worked fine. I tried reinstalling the software, updating the firmware using tftp.exe and it still didn't work. I used all the help pages and followed them correctly at the technical support area, but still nothing. I did notice something strange however... after updating the firmware and reinstalling and resetting the router, I went to "view wireless networks" and it was there, but it had a different name then when it worked, it also had a different encryptioon method. It used to have wep, now it has wpa and my network key dosen't work so I can't connect to it anymore. Then I tried to use the web based utility, since I only have one internet connection I connected it back into my modem and I tried the web based utitlity. I had to use Admin agian like the first time I logged in, becuase I did change the password. It went to one of the pages, then I clicked on about 3 other pages to find the new key, It suddenly gave me the "error: 401" page. and now I can't reconnect. PLEASE HELP! thank you.

    It sounds like either:
    a) you ran an unsecured wireless network and someone else wirelessly changed your router settings, or
    b) you are trying to update your router settings wirelessly  (Note: When updating the router, you should always use a computer that is wired to the router.)
    The first thing you need to do is reset your router to factory defaults, then setup your router again from scratch.  If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
    To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
    1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
    2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
    3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
    5) Power down the router.
    6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
    7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
    9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
    10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
    If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
    If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
    If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
    If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
    Please let me know how things turn out for you.

  • Quick and easy install for wrt54g ver 8?

    So I decide to build my own computer. Not smart considering I'm a man with low patience. I finally got everything to work. This router won't. I don't feel like going through the manual. Mainly because when I installed this a while ago there was a program you could download from Linksys. The program would detect routers and such that didn't install correctly and fix it. Is it still around or do I have to go through the manual?

  • WRT54G ver. 6 can no longer connect to the internet after reset

    I reset my WRT54G ver. 6 to clear the password, and now I can no longer connect to the internet with it. I can see the router itself from my PC, but that is all. I've followed the directions here for connection problems, but I can't seem to get an IP Address for it in the Web Configuration tool. Anybody have any thoughts?

    Since you reset your router, you need to reconfigure it back again. try the online utility that automates the configuration. download Easy Link Connect utility at www.linksys.com/connect then download "Netset" and follow instructions.
    if not Easy Link connect didnt work then you need to do the configuration manually.
    1. check physical connection modem should be connected wired to internet port of the router then PC to numbered ports of the router.
    2. Brighthouse i believe is cable connection, right? try power cycle your devices (turn off modem and router then turn on modem 1st then router next). check if your online.
    3. if not. check PC ip. click "start" then "run" type in "cmd" then press "OK". the command prompt should pop-up. type "ipconfig" and check IP and gateway. you should be getting an ip: 192.168.1.x and gateway: 192.168.1.1
    4. access router. open IE, then type in http://192.168.1.1 on address bar.
    5. you will be prompted with username and PW. "admin" is the default password. on setup, just below are subtabs. select "MAC address clone". in it, set "mac clone" to "enable" then click on "clone" then "save settings".
    6. power cycle devices again. try to go online
    note: if you dont have latest firmware. try updating if needed

  • WRT54G Ver 6 Internet connectivity problems

    Alright so here's the deal.
    I'm on Windows XP with Verizon DSL (in Orange County, CA) that uses a Westell modem (just modem, not modem and router combo).
    I have the old Linksys BEFSR41 v.2 router that runs with everything fine.
    I just bought the WRT54G Version 6 and connected everything up as needed.  Powered things down and then back up.  And it could not detect an Internet connection, but I could access the router via web browser.
    - Ran the Setup CD and it couldn't find the internet.
    - Upgraded the firmware.
    - I searched the forums and did not find a successful solution.
    - Called my ISP to confirm it is DHCP.
    - Talked to Linksys Support via phone and he had me do all sorts of stuff.  Releasing, Renewing, Local IP Address changes, pinging, MAC, etc.  All this to try to get some sort of IP address with the internet.
    - Tried it with a diff WRT54G Ver 6 (Yeah.  I bought two.  One for me, and one to bring to my parents), and it still didn't work.  (Can't be that both the routers I got are defective.)
    - Searched forums some more and ran across the EasyLink program.  I used it, and it tells me my freaking Wired adaptor is disabled.  Where do I enable it?  Can't be my computer because it all works fine with the old Linksys router I got....or could it?
    - Powered down and back up in many different combinations.
    Did all that to no avail.  Anyone got a solution?  I couldn't find anything that worked.  I'm about to go return this and get something else tomorrow.  Maybe if I wake up, there will be a workable solution that is replied back.
    Thanks in advance to all those that tried to help and posted something, or didn't post due to having no solution.
    - Chris

    Yup Yup Yup.  I tried the WAN address thing and it still didn't work.
    I was about to pack everything up and go return the stupid thing.  BUT.....I decided to talk to Verizon DSL support since I hadn't tried that.
    They helped me out good!!!
    Here's the solution.
    I plugged in the old router, the BEF, and went to Status to click the DHCP Release.  Then unplugged the old router.
    Then per Verizon DSL support instruction....powered down the modem, then powered it back up and waited for lights to stabilize.  Then I plugged in the new router, the WRT.  And went to Status (IP was already autofilled, with internet working) but I still clicked DHCP Renew.
    It all works.  WOOOOOO!!!! 
    By the way.  The WAN address thing is important.  I went to it on the new, WORKING router and disabled the WAN address.  The internet stopped working.  I re-entered in the WAN address I copied and the internet worked again.  So......yeah. 
    I hope for all those out there having the same problems as me, and without a solution, see this thread and try this.
    Thanks again for your guys' help.
    **edit**
    By the way.  Is there a way to stop my internet to being a stickler to this MAC address?  I'm just curious.  I'm gonna go google MAC address and see if I can read anything useful.

  • Internet Light Blinking on WRT54G Ver. 6

    We are changing from Earthlink DSL to Comcast cable internet.  Purchased and installed a Linksys CM100 cable modem.  Initially connected the CM100 directly to a laptop and got connectivity to the internet. Added the WRT54G Ver. 6 router between the modem and laptop, changed the router's "internet connection type" to "automatic configuration - DHCP", cloned the MAC address (both per Linksys Answer ID 3686 at http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/prnt_adp.php?p_faqid=3686&p_created=1151...= then power cycled the modem and router.  We now have internet connectivity through the CM100 / WRT54G combination but the "internet'" led on the front of the WRT54G blinks rapidly rather than being on steadily.  Is this normal behavior or is it indicating connection problems? Thanks for any insight.

    Its normal...Internet light blinking means data transfer(send and receive) .

    Any chance you have an XBox connected to this router? I've got three friends all with WRT54G ver 8 routers with XBoxes connected and it almost seems like something is trying to hack the security password. I'm searching to see if there is then a lock out which requires a manual reset. It just started happening around Christmas time.

    Hi... it seems that your Wireless adapter on does get a IP address or DNS no after reboot. Try assigning a Static IP address and DNS on the Wireless Adapter. Also try to update the drivers for that wireless adapter.

  • WRT54G(ver.6) not broadcasting internet signal anymore.

    I've been using my router (WRT54G ver.6) for almost 2 years now with only a few minor hiccups along the way. Just recently the router won't send the internet signal anymore. I can still connect to the wireless network and use the printer, which is connected to port 1.
    Connected computer directly to the cable modem - Internet works fine.
    Wired modem to router then wired modem to computer(tried all ports) - still no internet.
    Checked all my cables - they're fine.
    All the lights on the router are responding appropriately. I now know that the problem is only the wireless router.
    I've tried practically EVERYTHING!!; holding the reset button for 30secs - 2mins, unplugging the router for days on end, upgrading then downgrading then upgrading firmwares again, jumping on one leg while holding my breath, and all different combinations in between!!!
    I have the latest firmware and even tried using a previous firmware but still no go.
    Also tried the "Mac Address Clone" and still didn't have IS/subnet numbers for the internet under the "Status" tab. (I don't know if I ever had numbers there).
    My ISP is Comcast.
    I'd appreciate any help, thanks.

    Configuration for cable connection:-
    Before doing the following steps, you have to connect the modem to the
    router's Internet Port and the computer to the Ethernet Port Number 1.

    it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field
    empty and provide password as “admin "" all in lower cases and then
    click on ok.
    On the main setup page the ""Internet Connection Type"" should be
    on ""Obtain IP Automatically - DHCP “. Click on the Save Settings
    button.
