Router installation help! (WRT54GL)

Hello, there. New guy here. :-) I got my new linksys router today (WRT54GL) after I had messed up my other linksys router (WRT54GS). Before I even connected the router up I popped the CD in my PC and ran setup wizard. I followed the instructions in the setup wizard and when I was done configuring my router it tried to connect to the internet. It was unable to and it basically told me to unplug and replug my cable modem. I did that a few times but I kept getting the same message that it couldn't connect. It was until I was looking at the front of router and would you beleve the horror: the "Cisco Systems" button was SOLID RED. Now I know that solid red means something bad and that was probably the reason that I couldn't connect. But the thing that puzzles me is that HOW and WHY did it turn red in the first place. I plug the cables in the right places and I followed the instructions. So is there anybody that can tell me what I did wrong and guide me in the right direction? Any help would be appriciated. Thanks!

Hello again. Sorry for the late reply, I've been very busy lately. I don't think my ISP has anything to do with this. All I did was follow the follow the setup instructions (putting in my ip address, etc.) and all of a sudden I get a solid red diag light and it tells me that there's something wrong with my internet. Which was just BS because I plugged my eithernet cable directly to the computer and it was working just fine. I'll try to remember the steps I took in the setup. BTW, my ISP is cable....

  • Help "adobe installation helper a cessé de fonctionner"

    Bonjour, je me permet de poster sur ce forum puisque depuis hier je suis confronté à un grave problème.
    En effet, je suis dans l'obligation de réinstaller le logiciel "Adobe reader", sauf que lorsque je lance l'installation, une boite de dialogue s'ouvre et m'indique que "Adobe Installation Helper a cessé de fonctionner (Windows peut rechercher une solution au problème en ligne.)."
    Ainsi, je viens ici dans l'espoir de trouver une réponse à mon problème. Bien sur, vous vous douterez que j'ai déjà exploré les différentes propositions étant dans mes cordes que j'ai pu trouver sur la toile ! Merci d'avance.

    Oups,
    Je suis sous Windows 8.1 et le probleme survient quand je veux imprimer, le clic sur "Imprimer" ferme PSCC après appartion du popup. Seul PSCC est ouvert et j'ai 20 mo de mémoire.

  • Installer help application missing

    Hi,
    I just got a mini mac, and I re-install everything, updates new OS to 10.5.6 from apple and everything works fine.
    However, when I tried to install the "Stuffit Expander 2009", I got the error message saying "Missing Critical Component. Installer help application missing."
    Could somebody help me? I am new to MAC.....
    I'd really appreciate the help.

  • How do I install CS Production Premium "Content and Installation Help" (disk 3 of 3)?

    Hi,
    How do I install the CS Production Premium "Content and Installation Help" disk (the 3rd of the 3 disk set although it's not labelled as disk "3")? There's an autorun.inf file but no setup.exe. The generic on-disk installation instructions are useless for this disk since they assume a setup.exe file exists.
    The disk contains the following folders: Adobe CS6 Speech Analysis Models, Adobe Encore CS6 Functional Content, Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Functional Content, and Fonts.
    Thanks!

    There is no installer for the files AudiosBro they are additional content which can be added to those applications.  For specific inquiries about the contents please post in the applicable forum for that application.  You can find a list of available forums at https://forums.adobe.com/welcome.

  • Updated 8i Installation Help Page

    I have updated the 8i Installation Help Page. In particular, I have completed the section on "Configuring Net8".
    http://homepages.tig.com.au/~jmsalvo/linux/oracle8i.html
    I have also updated the section "Post Database Creation Procedures" the other day and discussed the bug with the startup and shutdown script provided in the Oracle8i Linux Installation Guide.
    null

    Chris,
    Although I e-mailed you this already, I am reposting it for others:
    The scripts are not meant to be run by the 'oracle' user by the 'root' user, as
    these scripts are executed during startup and reboot. That's why you see in the
    an 'su' command such as:
    su - $ORA_OWNER -c $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart
    to change from 'root' to 'oracle', and return to 'root'
    You should not be prompted for a password during startup and shutdown, as it
    connects as 'internal'. If the user 'root' is prompted for a password, add the
    linux group 'dba' as a secondary group of linux account 'root'.
    In RedHat 6.0, I get on my screen:
    Starting up listener8i [OK]
    Starting up oracle8i [OK]
    Starting up names8i [OK]
    Also true for shutdown. Your /var/log/messages will show you the output from
    svrmgrl, it it indeed startup and shutdown.
    Also, make sure what are the run levels in RedHat 6.1 for HALT, SHUTDOWN, and
    the default runlevel. These are indicated in /etc/inittab. As I am using RedHat
    6.0, these runlevels may be different with RedHat 6.1 and other distros for that
    matter.
    In RedHat 6.0, HALT is 0, SHUTDOWN is 6, and default is 3. If they are different
    in 6.1, then you need to make the link in the proper directory under /etc/rc.d.

  • Help - WRT54GL Router Firmware

    ok. here is what happened. I bought this brand new WRT54GL router months ago to replace my old router and decided to upgrade the firmware. After  updating the firmware per the instructions, I can no longer view the url http://192.168.1.1 to update or change my profile.. all I get is a jumbled mess. I might have downloaded the wrong firmware file or did something.  Today, my old router finally died. so.. i really need to fix my Linksys WRT54GL otherwise i'm doomed!!!  Please help.
    Here is what I did so far...
    I tried to reset the router to factory defaults press the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. this didn't work
    I made sure i downloaded the correct firmware this time using this site(http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/GetArticle.aspx?docid=f86931aadf06450495507691acdf0d87_3703.xml&pid=80...) but since my config page is broken, i cannot upload the .bin file into my router.
    I only know how to flash the firmware through web browser when I googled reflash the firmware.
    Any help is appreciated!!!!

    Hi.
    First make sure you can identify the correct version number of your router. There are two. Refer to this, http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/wireless/lbc/WRT54GL. Now based o n the version, download the correct firmware.
    To re-flash your firmware, you may use this tool, http://www.idealinternet.co.uk/linksys/linksys-tftp.exe

  • I need Router GT704WGB installation help please!

    I just recieved this router and there are no instructions at all! I have a home computer and a laptop. I don't even know where to plug the router into or anything! The phone line is on the opposite side of the room of my home computer, do I have to plug it into that computer? I'm so confused and not very smart when it comes to all this! Can someone please help me or show me where to find help? Thank you!

    Not necessarily.  If you had a really long ethernet cable, you could locate the router near the phone jack, and run the ethernet cable across the room to  plug into the router.  Or, if you have wireless on your PC, you could set up a wireless connection to the router instead of running a long ethernet cable.
    Your PC talks to the router.  The router talks over the phone line to a modem at Verizon's switching office.  That modem talks to the Verizon internet gateway.  That gateway talks to the internet.  Does this make sense?

  • Installation Question--Wiring for Internet Modem/Router? Help please

    Hi all, I am scheduled to have the FIOS TV, internet, and phone installed at the end of this month.  I currently have DirecTV HD.  I have searched the boards and haven't found a clean answer...wondering if you experts have any advice.  My questions are:
    1.  I do not have a Cable or Cat5 (have telephone line) line run to my office where my computer and current Verizon DSL are. 
         ---When the installer comes, will he run a cable line/Cat5 to the office? 
         ---Do you need both cable line and Cat5 for the modem/router?
         ---If so, will he fish down the wall (above attic)? 
    2.  Since I currently have DirecTV, I have a multiswitch that distributes all the cable lines throughout the house.  The multiswith, however, is in the crawlspace and a good distance from where the current outdoor telephone box is.  I don't even have a cable box at the house.  So, my questions for this are:
         ---When the installer comes, will he run a cable line from the ONT to the location in the crawspace where all the cable lines converge? 
         ---If so, the installer uses a splitter, right? 
     THANK YOU all so much for any insight.  My big concern is that in the office there is not a cable line run, and I don't want the installer to drill through the wall to come to the inside.  If I have to fish the wire down the wall from the attic, I want to do so before the install date.
    Thanks again for your time.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Arun covered most of this quite nicely...
    1.  I do not have a Cable or Cat5 (have telephone line) line run to my office where my computer and current Verizon DSL are. 
         ---When the installer comes, will he run a cable line/Cat5 to the office? Yes
         ---Do you need both cable line and Cat5 for the modem/router?  No, one or the other works just fine...However if you decide to have the router fed by cat5, then a coax is necessary also to feed ip addresses to the set top boxes...
         ---If so, will he fish down the wall (above attic)?   Maybe, no guarentee's there.  If there is an existing Coax in the room already, he may just use that
    2.  Since I currently have DirecTV, I have a multiswitch that distributes all the cable lines throughout the house.  The multiswith, however, is in the crawlspace and a good distance from where the current outdoor telephone box is.  I don't even have a cable box at the house.  So, my questions for this are:
         ---When the installer comes, will he run a cable line from the ONT to the location in the crawspace where all the cable lines converge? Correct
         ---If so, the installer uses a splitter, right? Correct again.  More than likely he shouldn't have to change out any of the coax cables as satellite usually uses the better grade coax.
     .  My big concern is that in the office there is not a cable line run, and I don't want the installer to drill through the wall to come to the inside.  If I have to fish the wire down the wall from the attic, I want to do so before the install date.  I would suggest this.  That way your guarenteed to have the wires run in the wall.

  • Wireless Router Installation CD won't open

    Trying to install a netgear WPN 824 wireless router on my Imac 17, the installation disk won't open. I am installing the router for use with a PC laptop.
    Thanks

    You probably don't need the CD. Just plug a network cable (should have come with the router) from your Mac to the router. Use one of the numbered ports.
    Then open up your browser (Safari, Firefox, etc...), you'll get an error message that page could not load, or something like that.
    Depending on the router, you might have to look at the quick, guide, type in the default IP address of the router in the address line. Example: 192.168.0.1 -or- 192.168.1.1
    It will then take you to a Netgear page, and the Wizard should start for you.
    Hope that helps a little,

  • Wrt54g installation help

    hi, i have just upgraded new windows vista home premium from windows xp. i tried to install my purchased linksys wrt54g ver 6 router. and as i install i keep getting this error message.
    The instruction at 0x0043cf50 reference memory at 0x00000091 keep showing up,
    if possible can someone please help me fix this and sucessfully install the router so i can go online from my computer. thanks in advance,

    The problem may be in your Vista installation. Did you choose to upgrade your XP installation, or did you opt for a clean install?
    A clean installation is preferred, as it will wipe out everything and start from scratch. Often, there may be problems when you are only upgrading on top of your old operating system.
    The bottom line is your problem is likely not with the router.
