PC not detecting WRT54GS v7

Having a bit of trouble here. Just bought a WRT54GS v7 from Wal-Mart and it won't get past the 'Detecting Router' step in the EasyLink setup. I know for a fact that I've got all my wires connected properly, and in the right order, but my PC just isn't finding it wherever it is. Odd thing is, it already apparently created a 'Linksys' wireless network for me to connect to, and my PC is detecting the 'Internet Connection' Internet Gateway in my Network Connections window, it just won't go any further in the EasyLink setup so I can't secure the network! What's going on here?

Let me know the ISP details , whether cable or DSL ... would help you configure the router accordingly...

WRT54GS Can not detect the router

We lost the internet connection a few days ago for a couple of hours and since then had to reset the modem and when I try to set up the router with the Easy Link Advisor I get can not detect the router. I am using the router to access the internet and it can't be detected???
I have powered it off enough times and then some and need to get this running to use the laptops.
I am running ver 7 firmware that it came with but I don't know what the exact version I am running or gor that matter where to find it.
Thanks

okay went through the firmware upgrade and installed it through 192.168.1.1 to admin tab and upgrade. it got to the reboot part and hung there for a bit, i hit continue or what ever it said and came back upwith a dns error and page unreachable. version installed is what i downloaded 7.50.5. i am still having the same problem, all the lights are lit that are suppossed to be lit, and i am on the internet and running through the router, and when i go into easylink advisor and start the setup process i have to go through the entire thing including selecting the router (which it should know what router it is) though removing the power cord and waiting and still told that it can not detect the router. i have no idea where to go from here. thanks!

WRT54GS Not detected on setup

I went through all steps as directed but it will not detect my router. All lights are on (power,WLAN,1, Int) and the internet works fine on this computer. I tried to use easylink connection but it also said it could not detct the router. I have a 2wire DSL modemand it is working fine. I bought the linksys router because I couldn't get my US robotics access point to work anymore. Now my wife is really after me because she thinks I ruined two routers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It looks like I do have 2 local connections with 2 different IP addresses. This is what I got from the prveious directions
Thanks

IPhone 4 with IOS 6 did not detecting the public wi-fi network but able to connect with my home wireless

iphone 4 after install the iOS 6 wi-fi networks are not detecting on public spot but working on home network.What is the reason for this/ any settings?

Is the firmware in the router up to date?
See here for the latest for v2.2: http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/routers/WRT54G
Note: All these ideas are a bit lame since you say that some iPhone 5s are connecting OK and they running the same iOS level 6.1 and, i think, have the same Broadcom WiFi chip BCM4334.
All devices are running iOS 6.1 right not 6.0.1, or 6.0.2?
You might want to try your iPad mini on some other WiFi networks to see how it fares there.

Easylink does not detect internet connection

Please help. I have a wireless G broadband router model wrt54g. I've had it for about a year in a half and used it maybe twice. I just ran the setup and got an error saying easylink does not detect your internet connection. I went on line to make sure I was connected and followed the steps to resolve this issue. I got a message saying congratulations your router was configured succesfully but you are not yet connected to the internet. I went online to try and get help with this issue and downloaded firmware. My comptuer won't even allow me to run the download, it just does nothing when I click on it. Could someone please advise me as to how to get this router to detect my internet connection. Thanks

Who is your Internet Service Provider..?
Are you getting the internet connection,when you connect the computer to the modem directly...?
If your Internet Service Provider is Cable follow this link
If your Internet Service Provider is DSL follow this link

WRT54GX4 could not detect internet (DSL PPPoE)

I just got the WRT54GX (srx400) router and connected it to my DSL modem using PPPoE.  I could not get pass step 8 in the setup wizard where it tries to configure the router and connect to the internet.    I always get the error that it could not detect the internet/modem and I should try to check if the modem is turned on or the cables are properly connected.   And they are.   I get internet when I directly plug to the modem.
I tried getting thru the setup manually via web interface.   I noticed that under the PPPoE option, the username and password are always the same length and they should not be.   Of course I reentered the correct user and password several times but the password always revert back to the username (my guess given the length though I can't actually see the characters) even after I reset the router several times (30+ secs resets).
Has anyone encountered the same problem? Please advice. Thanks!

Thanks for the tips. However, looks like I bricked the router.  After checking Linksys website, I found a more up to date firmware for WRT54GX4. Mine had version 1.00.13 and linksys has 1.00.19. I uploaded the later through the web interface. The upload stage was ok and completed 100%. When it was installing, it just went dead and the powerled started blinking.   This has been its state since, even if I reset the router.   From what I gathered, the firmware got corrupted.
Good thing various websites offered procedures how to resurrect a bricked router. However, I tried all and could not get a response from continuous ping, thus can't execute a tftp.   I'm now deciding on the last resort of shorting the flash and see if this works.   However, I can only get detailed procedures for WRT54G.   Is there a documetation somewhere for WRT54GX4?
This will naturally void the warranty. But from my side of the world, it's cheaper to just buy a new one than return this one for replacement/service.

Wireless router not detected

I recently purchased a WRT54G router and tried to connect through my DSL connection. An error message came up and stated that the router was not detected. Repeated tries gave the same results.
I know that the cables were connected correctly.Can someone suggest trouble shooting?Calls to Linksys support have been unsuccessful.

Try disabling all firewalls on the computer, windows and any other you might be using. Still no luck try doing manual setup, as follows:
Connect modem to internet port on router, and connect computer to port 1 on router
Login to routers setup, by typing http://192.168.1.1 in internet explorer's address bar, use admin as password there without any user name
Here goto mac address clone in blue bar at top
Enable service, click on clone my pc's mac button, and save the settings
After that turn off modem and router, turn on modem first.
Turn on router after some time
Check internet if works

LELA "Router Not Detected"

I just purchased a Linksys WRT54G V8.2 router. I just opened the box and have been attempting to get the wireless network setup.
I am currently posting as I am connected via eathernet cable though the WRT54G router
My problem is when I attempt to set this up using the LELA, I keep getting the "Router Not Detected" error. Everything is plugged in, all lighs are on. As I said, I am currently connected to the internet using this router, but with a wired ethernet cable, I cannot get the wireless setup.
LELA will not let me do anything until it can detect the router, can anyone help me figure out what is wrong here?
Thanks.

I'm having the same issue.
My router works fine and I can log into it from a web page but each time I try to install Lela, it will not detect the router (even though all of the required lights are on/blinking, etc).
I have uninstalled Lela, rebooted, and cleared out the Registry.
I have tried multiple router resets and have also updated the firmware.

IPod Touch, not detected in Windows or iTunes...

First of all, hello to everyone...
i want to say that i read a lot EVERYWHERE about my issue and still i couldnt find a solution...
the problem is easy, i have a 3rd gen ipod touch, OS 4.2.1 now fully working... but, it's not detected in windows or itunes, as simple as that, and as u all have read in lots of other posts...
my ipod is now working because i took it to an apple store and they charged it in a MAC and they had no problem at all. the MAC detected the ipod, with all its content and my ipod's name...
but when i took it home -this has been hapenning since maybe... 5 MONTHS!-, i plug it in my PC and nothing happens...
ok, first of all, my spec... win vista home premium 64 bits, last version of itunes...
i tried ALL the solutions provided in APPLE official support page, and nothing happens... that means:
1- completely uninstall itunes and then reinstalling it... i ALSO FORMATED my entire hard drive twice!!!!
2- tried all USB ports and even an entirely different PC and nothing happened
3- bought 3 different IPOD to USB cables and nothing happened
4- tried setting ipod to restore, that way itunes SOMETIMES detected the ipod but i coulnt restore because of different error codes, so i had to take it several times to apple store to "unblock" it...
the only way it works -detection and charge- is with MAC computers or dock systems such as an iHome my gf has thats the way im charging it now, but otherwise it wont work...
i would really appreciate any help, since idont know what else to do!!
thx in advance!!

HI I was having some other problems getting my itouch to restore because it was not being recognized in itunes and kept erroring out. Now it has finally restored after I updated all kinds of drivers and removed and reinstalled itunes and apple software a million times,(yes this is all after installing itunes 8.1 and paying for an itouch upgrade as well) Now itunes says it cannot do anything with the ipod because it is getting an invalid response from the device. So it won't put anything back on my itouch or even show that I have plugged it in. I emailed tech support, If I find anything out I'll let you know, will you do the same for me?

DVD-Audio and "can not detect sound blaster card" with Audigy2 Va

I recently purchased an "Audigy2 Value" card from an eBay user, because I recently purchased some DVD-Audio discs. I downloaded the Audigy2 drivers from the website, and the Creative MediaSource player. 5. Surround sound worked fine for me, though sometimes the driver would reset to the default 2/2. sound and I would have to re-select 5. sound, which was annoying.
Then I was completely unable to get the MediaSource player to recognise my DVD-Audio discs, and the EAX functionality of the player would never work. The EAX logo never appeared in the player. When I tried installing the MediaSource player from an install disc, I got the message "can not detect sound blaster card". Then I discovered the world of EEPROM problems.
I followed advice from some other threads, including using ScanPCI to get information on the card, which yielded the following result.
When installed on my machine (Asus A7A266 motherboard) the ScanPCI reads:
Vendor 02h Creative Labs

On another machine (specs unknown, it's a "house pc") I got this (with 3 entries!):

(Just a note: above you can clearly see that it does not say I have an Audigy, it thinks it is a SBLi've. Is this normal? The card IS an Audigy 2, it says so on the card.)
So, I put the card back on my own PC, thinking this has fixed my EEPROM, but I get the same as before. Subsystem ID 0002h. And of course the install software will not detect the card.
I realise that I could go back to using the web drivers, but this still leaves me with MediaSource not recognising the card and not enabling DVD-Audio or EAX, which is why I bought the card in the first place!
I have heard that the VIA chipset is possibly to blame for the EEPROM problems on the Audigy cards, and certainly it seems like it is not permanent, since it gave different information on the other PC. So now I am seriously considering getting a new motherboard.
Do other motherboards cause this same problem? I don't want to buy another board and get the same trouble. All I want is to be able to install my MediaSource and have it recognise my card so I can listen to my DVD-Audio discs.
Cheers,
Russ.

Figured out my problem. Installing the drivers from the web to begin with was a bad idea. They just did not work properly with the card.
The "card not found" problem has gone as well, after installing it in another PC. I am also using the proper install disc now, as the other one I was using turned out to not be for the Audigy 2 value after all, but was an Audigy 2 install disc. That easily explains the "Card not found" error. The differing results from the ScanPCI program are still bizarre, though.
Thanks to all of the people on the forum who posted information in other threads to help me deal with this issue. For now I am sticking with the original drivers from the disc and I am not upgrading.

Hard disk not detected once, but now working?

Hi,
I'm Zak, a bit of techie when it comes to playing with software, or re-assembling computers and whatnot. Unfortunately I've got no clue about some other things.
A bit of quick history on my notebook: The fan has been making terrible noises the last few weeks. Initially I thought it was some dust so I got some duster. A lot of dust came out, so that can only be good, but the noises came back after a few days. After some searching I figured the other logical explanation was probably the hard drive going bad. I'm hesitant to send it back to HP because I use it for all my university work and it would really set me back a few weeks to not have it.
So, a few days ago, I booted up my notebook to a "hard drive not detected" - or very similar - message. There were a few options, for f1-f4, they were system information, and 3 different tests (I think). I ran the tests, each one came back fine, noting that there was no OS installed, or hard disk to boot from. I rebooted because I hadn't quite seen it boot up, and wanted to see if there were any other options. Turns out, it started up fine. I restarted once more and again, it did fine.
Next, I scrambled around, backing up all my data, getting together warranty info, installing the HP Support Assistant, etc. I ran all the tests from the Support Assistant and there were no problems detected. Since then I've just been hibernating the notebook when I stop using it, and I haven't encountered any unusual trouble. It all seems fine, but my warranty expires Dec 7th of this year. Is it safe for me to assume the "hard drive not detected" error was just a single misfire? I've read a lot of threads and FAQs on it and it doesn't sound like something that just happens once and goes away. On the other hand, I've never had to use a warranty so am unsure quite how the process works, and like I said, sending it anywhere would put me back in my work.
For the sake of a full post, I have an HP G62-367DX Notebook, running on Windows 7 64-bit OS, and as far as I know there were no changes made between the error and my prior boot. If there's any other information I can provide, just let me know.
Cheers, thank you very much for any assistance, and good day
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The tests from the Assistant are not as comprehensive or reliable as the full hard drive test in the BIOS....tap F10 as you power up, go in there and find the hard drive test. Run the long form test and see what is says. It is not unusual for hard drive issues to start as intermittent and gradually get more frequent. If your drive passes the long form test you can fairly safely assume it was a one-time gremlin of some sort, but it is still a real good idea to back up. I like the idea of the online backup services and I will name Carbonite only because it is well known and not as an endorsement. There are several more and an external drive is also a good idea.
You cannot put off a reboot forever; you are going to have to confront the issue at some point.
