Setup WRT54GS

I have a D-Link DI-514 now hooked up. I purchased the WRT54GS and would like to replace the D-Link router. I have a Motorola Surfboard SB4100 cablel modem.
I followed the instructions from the setup disk. It got to step 4 and then just sat there for a while and said there was an error 322 newrouter or gateway not detected. I tried again but get the same error. What can I do to correct the error?

I made a call to the toll free tech support number. The setup instructions were different then the ones that are on the CD that came with the router. I followed the tech support instructions and the router works great.

How to setup WRT54G as a wired bridge through another router

I have a verizon provided wireless router now and wish to utilize my wrt54G as a wired bridge. Basically, I want to use the WRT54G as a switch to connect 3 items that do not have wireless (a A/V receiver, XBOX 360, and some networked storage). The run is too long to have 3 connections directly to the verizon router, so I ran one and want the WRT54G to act as a HUB of sorts.
I connected the LAN output of my verizon router to the Input of the WRT54G, but no internet on the wired WRT54G outputs. I assume I need to switch something to "bridged mode", but cannot figure this out. I also suspect I need to disable DHCP, assign a static IP, and probably more, but I am having no luck.
Any ideas? Help is greatly appreciated.

What's the ip address of your verizon router?
Make sure that the Verizon router's ip address and the Linksys router's ip address both are suppose to be in the same network range.(For ex. Verizon router ip-192.168.2.1, Linksys Router ip- 192.168.2.2). Then connect the Ethernet cable from verizon router to the linksys router in Port number 1. Open the setup page of the Linksys router disable the DHCP and the Wireless (as you said you want to "utilize wrt54G as a wired router" )

Issue accessing Setup WRT54GS

I have 3 WRTGS routers,   1 connected to ADSL,,and the other two fanning out internet access ,via CAT/ and WLAN, in other offices in my house.
Other than basic stumbling getting the right configurations all has gone well.
When I only had 1 WRT54GS, no fanning out, I could easily get to the setup page on my laptop, any of my laptops as I have 5, and one desktop.
ISSUE: From my Desktop DELL Dimension 2400 (Broadcom 10/100 440x), the page loads SOOOOOO slowly if at all.
when I added the additional two WRT54GSs, the problem is even worse with them. I can get to the setup page, but when I click on other TABs in the setup.. IE gives up and can't connect to them.
I upgraded my DELL Lan drivers.. and no improvement,
Then I went to broadcom and got the latest driver from Broadcom since DELL's version was older.
No help.. no change.. behaves the same.
All 3 Linksys are differing model numbers all updated to their latest BIOS firmware.
any ideas.. MTU turned to manual at 1500.
I am going to give an external LAN controller a try next..
network performance seems ok.. from the DELL through the hub at 40mb/s..
gus

1) Do you want to share printers, and also possibly files, with all computers on your network? Or do you want 3 separate networks, with some routers setup for higher security?
2) Tell us more about how you have your routers setup and connected. What Local IP addresses are you using? Are DHCP servers on or off in each router? How are routers wired - LAN port to Internet port, or LAN port to LAN port?
3) What is the make and exact model number of your modem (not the router) ?

How to setup WRT54G to iBook Airport, but has no ethernet cable port

I am trying to help a friend who broke her ethernet port plug. She has an iBook 600 running OS X Panther 10.3.9.
She bought an Airport card and installed it.
Bought the Linksys WRT54G wireless dsl router, but cannot get it going with her dsl because linksys setup CD only wants to install windows "exe" files.
Can she directly access the router just from Safari web browser by using the 192.168.1.1 / user blank / pw admin, and then go through setting up a WPA connection and wpa security manually?
Or does she have to have an ethernet connection first?
(if she must have ethernet cable connection, then she is, up creek with no boat and no paddle)
Thank you.
Best.

Correct... in more specific terms... click on the airport icon.. search for the default SSID( or wireless network name) and connect to it... once you are connected and have verified that you have a valid IP... then your all set to access the 192.168.1.1 page and configure the DSL and Internet.
For the wireless settings and WPA though, as per the last post... almost every single data you change there will kick you off the wireless network and you have to reconnect again...
For example, since you were connected to linksys (unsecured)... the moment you change this SSID to a personalized one... say myfriend101... you'd be off the router UI after you save the settings... so you have to reconnect manually again to myfriend101 (unsecured) again... once you are connected to this... and then decide to put say WPA security.. you'd get kicked off again the moment you save... (you get the pattern)...

Linksys Router setup WRT54G

Beginning problem was router would not connect to internet. Ethernet conects PC>Router, Router>Modem. Can connect to internet but router will not pick it up. After searching for fixes now I cannot connect to IP address page (192.168.1.1) Help please, I have been working on this for hours and have mae no head-way.

Who is your ISP...?
Are you able to go online wired or not..?
Make sure that the Modem is connected to the Router on the Internet port and computer to the router on Ethernet port..Now,go to command prompt and check the ip address.
Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...
IP Address should be 192.168.1.x, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 (assuming your router is 192.168.1.1)...If you get the above mentioned IP Address, Subnet and Gateway Address then you should ping the Gateway, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...If it gives you request timed out then disable any firewalls, security software on the computer...
If you get 4 replies,adjust the browser settings..Open an IE, click Tools >> Internet Options, then delete all files, cookies, history, forms...Goto "Connections", make sure Never Dial a Connection is checked, click on LAN Settings and make sure all the options are unchecked...Once you are done click on O.k...Close the IE and re-open it...
Now,try to open the setup page again...

Port forwarding / PPPoE setup / WRT54GS as access point

Hi,
i have 3 questions as u can understand from the subject
First's lets make a rough sketch of the net topology
Internet -------- DSL Modem ------- WRT54GS >>>> 2 wireless laptops
                                                               |
                                                               |
                                                               |
                                                    Wired Desktop PC
My DLS Modem is a Siemens Speedstream4200 connected to WRT54GS using an Ethernet cable. WRT54GS is v7.0 using firmaware v7.50.0. The 2 laptops run Vista Home Premium and my Wired Desktop Windows XP Pro.
So, now to the questions:
A. I tried using PPPoE in the Internet connection box of the WRT54GS, i supplied the username and pasword of my ISP but i couldn't establish an internet conection. Of course i didn't turn off the modem, router and pc as pointed out in topic with AnwerId = 2210 which i found today, will do that tonight, so hopefully there will not be a problem. I just switched from DHCP to PPPoE.... so, there might not be a prob after all... (is turning on and off the hardware that substancial ? )
B. I am currently using DHCP as the preferred Internet connetion type. I tried to forward a port to use with uTorrent. I gave my desktop pc a static IP (192.168.1.199), forwarded the port to the corresponding area of the router's page (port 59876, both protocols, enable) and unchecked the Block anonymous requests. Had no luck . Thing is that i am not sure about the TCP/IP settings i have used...
Static IP :               192.168.1.199
Subnet   :              255.255.255.255 (default value)
Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 (the router's IP)
Preffered DNS    :  62.178.90.17
Secondary DNS :   62.178.90.18
The DNS's are the ones that my ISP gave me. Are these the ones that i am supposed to use here or should i use my routers IP as a DSN? (my DSL modem is accessed in the network at http://192.168.254.254)
C. I have also a second WRT (currently not connected) and i want to use it as an access point (extending the range of my network in a building)
I am thinking of something like the following
Internet -------- DSL Modem ------- WRT54GS >>>> 1 wireless laptops (floor 2)
                                                               |
                                                               |   (this is an ethernet cable)
                                                               |
              (this is an access point)   WRT54GS >>>> 1 wireless laptop (floor 0)
                                                               |
                                                               |
                                                    Wired Desktop PC
What do i have to do ? connect the 2 WRT54GS, make sure that both WRT54GS have the same SSID and use different channels? What about port forwarding ? i guess i will have to forward the IP of the access point to the router and the IP of my PC to the access point ? ? ?
Well, thx at least for your time to read my email
theodore

A. If you cannot set PPPoE on the WRT although it is supposed to be required for your DSL connection then probably the SpeedStream is operating as router as well. That's why you can use internet connection type DHCP. You should post the full information on the Status tab of the router. It will show how you are connected to the SpeedStream and whether it is a router or not. Otherwise you could also do this test. If both IP addresses are not identical then you have a router/modem. You should consider putting the SpeedStream into "bridge" mode. In bridge mode it operates like any normal modem. Then you should be able to configure the PPPoE connection on the WRT.
B. Obviously, if your modem is also operating as gateway router port forwardings won't work unless you configure port forwardings on the modem/router as well. The modem/router is the device with the public IP address. You have to forward ports from the Speedstream to the WRT WAN IP and on the WRT to the computer in question. You should assign a static IP address in the internet connection settings of the WRT (for similar reasons like for the computer). As this is complicated this would be another good reason to put the modem into bridge mode. Then the WRT is connected to the internet and you only have to configured port forwardings on the WRT.
C. See here. For a roaming network wireless settings on both WRTs must be identical except for the channel numbers. If you set up the second router like suggested there is no port forwarding on the second WRT.

WRT54G losing connection periodically

My setup:
WRT54G Router
Firmware Version v4.30.5, Apr. 27, 2006
Bell Sympatico DSL
PC with hardline to Router
Laptop with wireless connection
A couple times a night, no matter whether the laptop or the PC is being used, I will lose connection to the internet.
Normally, the Link/Act is blinking, the Full/Coll light is solid green and the 100 light is solid orange/yellow. When I lose connection, the Link/Act light goes solid. If I wait for 3 or 4 minutes, it will usually regain the connection, although occasionally it takes a while longer.
I have tried cloning my computers MAC address, but that didn't seem to help either.

Crap.
I got this unit from my father-in-law, who got it through his work. And he no longer works there, and his job has the receipt.
I guess it is time to go router-shopping then.
I need both wireless and wired (for laptop and PC, respectively). Any suggestions??Message Edited by Marcel on 09-05-2006 08:14 PM

WRT54G + MODEM THOMSON ST516v6 - CONNECTION TO THE INTERNET IMPOSSIBLE

Hello,
I am able to connect to Internet directly via adsl Thomson ST516v6.
I tried to setup WRT54G but am unable to connect to the Internet. The modem is connected to WRT54G via the Internet Port.
PC is connect to WRT54G via port2. The LEDs looks ok. But I cannot go out to Internet.
any advise how I should proceed ? Should i use PPPoE instead of DHCP?
Thanks!

Your "modem" is actually a "modem-router" and it uses the same 192.168.1.x address space as the WRT54G. This is likely the root of your problem.
To fix this problem, disconnect the WRT54G from the Thomson. Then go into the WRT54G and change the "Local IP address" to 192.168.2.1
Leave WRT54G set to DHCP.

WRT54G2 - Allow router to connect to wireless network wirelessly

Setup:
WRT54G connected to DSL modem in one room. The desktop is in another room about 15 feet away but receives weak signal. The WRT54G2 is wired to the desktop.
I want to get my desktop to connect to the internet by the 54G2. I have been looking around everywhere and every thing says inorder to get cascading routers, you have to connect the routers together with an ethernet cable. Is there a way to do this without wiring the routers together i.e., wirelessly?
Each router has a different IP address and the secondary one (the 54G2) has its DHCP server disabled.
Thanks.

It is not possible with the linksys firmware installed in it.However,you may try installing the dd-wrt firmware which has such feature to make your router work as an wireless access point.You can check www.dd-wrt.com
Note-Installing the 3rt part firmware will void the warranty period of your router.

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...

WRT54GS V6.0 No setup Tabs???

I recently upgraded my wireless B router to a wireless G w/ speedbooster and I am having a big problem logging on to it. For some reason, whenever I log onto it using 192.168.1.1 blank login password admin I get the normal background that I used to get with my old router, but now I have no tabs to click on??? I should have tabs across the top to alter my settings (setup, security,...) I have nothing except for the(&) symbol and that is it. I talked to linksys "foreign" support for an hour yesturday and they have no clue, so i exchanged it for another thinking it was the router, but the new one is doing the same thing. I know my firmware is old but i have no way of updating it? Why would they sell me a router with old firmware anyway (twice)? Can anyone help????

Just figured out how to fix this on my own WRT54GS. COMPLETELY disable, turn off, kill Zone Alarm. All the tabs showed up and I was able to update firmware that I had been screwing around with for hours.

WVC200 v1.2 - Successful Wireless & DynDNS Setup with WRT54G v.6 Router

I would just like to report that after hours of tinkering, I managed to configure the camera to run wireless as well as link up with the dynDNS service. I thought I would post the method which worked for my WRT54g/WVC200 combo. Hopefully this will help anyone still stuck on setting it up.
You want to set everything up using wired connections exclusively until everything is working and you are ready to jump to wireless.
Reset your WRT54G router to factory default settings. If you can't access the admin page simply press the reset button on the back of the router and hold it down for about a minute (should reset to factory spec). I am using the latest firmware for each device (linksys phone support can help you with firmware if you don't have the latest stuff, or you can look for other threads on the topic).
Now that your router has a fresh install, unplug its power supply for now. Turn your attention to wiring. Make sure you have a powered-off PC connected to one of the ethernet ports on the router.
Power up your router first, giving it time to boot (usually under 30 seconds). Then power up your PC and pay a visit to your blank router at http://192.168.1.1 user:admin password:admin and leave your internet settings alone for now (they shouldnt affect your camera setup later as long as you have a typical dynamic IP internet connection)
In the first page for the router setup, make sure you use DHCP for the local network (I believe this is the default setting) and set a healthy DHCP user limit. *Apply/Save Settings*
In the wireless menu, broadcast on G-only, channel 6, assign an easy to remember SSID ("smithnetwork" etc) *Apply/Save Settings* . In the wireless security tab, choose WPA, TKIP, and type in a good passcode (strongest passwords are 10 or more randomly typed letters and numbers) *Apply/Save Settings*
Click on the Administration tab, set an equally strong password to access the router setup (can be the same as your wireless encryption passcode if its strong). Additionally, make sure UPnP and Remote Management are disabled, Wireless Management enabled. *Apply/Save Settings* (this should now prompt you for the password you just created in order to return to the router setup)
Go ahead and connect to your newly broadcasting network from a laptop wireless card etc. (which should still give you limited connectivity even if you haven't configured your internet settings yet) by going to http://192.168.1.1 in your browser like I said earlier. If you manage to get to the router menu then you know your wireless network is functioning at least to a certain degree. If you are stuck here, its probably not too complex of a problem for linksys phone tech support to get you back on track.
Note: If you have been tweaking camera settings prior to this attempt, you might want to turn it on without any network cables hooked up and try holding the reset button down (like we did to restore the router's factory settings earlier).
Now get your WVC200 camera and hook up the ethernet cable to one of the open ethernet ports on your router and the port on the camera. Plug in the camera's power supply. At this point, the camera should boot up, calibrate the servo motors, and attempt to join your router's LAN. If your camera does ANYTHING but connect to the network successfully and give you a local IP, you have a problem I haven't encountered and you should re-read the instructions or consider an RMA.
Default Local IPs (assuming each device joined the network in proper order)
Router: 192.168.1.1
Your ethernet-wired PC: 192.168.1.2
Your wirelessly connected laptop: 192.168.1.3
Your camera: 192.168.1.4 (this is what your camera should display on the LCD)
At this point you can confirm your camera is properly placed on the DHCP client table by getting into your router setup and clicking the status tab > local network > DHCP clients table. You should find your 3 devices connected, assigned the above IPs, and you should see the camera (named "WVC200" on the list). Again, if this is not the case for you using factory settings, I reccomend talking to linksys phone support or RMA the item.
Now close all your browsers and load a fresh internet explorer, navigating to the camera's local IP address (should be http://192.168.1.4 or whatever your client table listed). This is basically how you configured your WRT54g router earlier (even uses the same admin/admin login).
Once you're in the camera management page, click on the setup tab. Note the sub-menu that appears on the left side, click on "basic" and make sure camera name is WVC200, LCD/LED enabled, Daylight savings checked, NTP automatic server un-checked, make sure Automatic (DHCP) is set.
Wireless SSID "smithnetwork" or whatever you assigned it earlier in the router wireless setup, network type: infrastructure. *Apply/Save Settings*
In the same Setup > Basic menu, at the very bottom of the page should be the wireless security settings ( default should be "disabled" ). Click the "edit security settings" button, select WPA Personal, it should be on the TKIP algorithm, and don't forget to enter the wireless WPA password you created earlier on the router. *Apply/Save Settings* also: click *Apply/Save Settings* on the main page again too just to be sure it applied. The security settings should now display when you reload the page.
While we are in setup, click on the "users" link to the left, replace the default administrator login with your own custom one, making sure to check the "enable authentication" box. *Apply/Save Settings*
At this point, you should have your WVC200 fully configured and broadcasting video on the wired LAN, if this is not the case, I would have no clue why it wouldn't work with the same equipment and method and you are out of luck.
Now, for the moment of truth! You should have your router right next to you with wireless ready to go (you tested this earlier) and the camera antenna installed on your WVC200. Unplug the power from the camera, unplug the ethernet cable that connects the router and camera to one another, and plug the power back into the camera. After the lens calibrates and stops moving, the wireless LED should light up and probably start flickering as it negotiates a connection with your router. It should find your network and display an IP fairly quick (probably 192.168.1.4 default). If it takes longer than 15 seconds youre probably out of luck and should double-check everything in this post and move on to a different post if it still doesn't work.
I used to spend hours at this point, wondering why it wouldn't join my perfectly functional wireless network. It would try to connect to the wireless network for about 5 minutes, it would appear to successfully connect sometimes, but it would display the incorrect local IP address and would refuse to function regardless of its self-proclaimed connectivity. I learned that the router's WPA2 encryption was overpowering the puny WPA + TKIP on the camera even though I was using AES/TKIP combo on the router (which was supposed to make the router compatible with original WPA + TKIP devices while still letting you use WPA2). Maybe Linksys can include a fix for this in future router/camera firmware.
To make sure the wireless is functioning properly, open up an internet explorer window and try connecting to camera management page again (http://192.168.1.4 by default) while your camera still has no ethernet cable hooked up to it. Check to make sure you can see video etc. I never experienced signal problems like other users did. This combination of router/camera worked well (-21 dB with it sitting next to the router, -39dB in the other room)
DynDNS Service setup:
I basically figured out that while the DNS features on the camera might be useful to some, its still buggy and there is a MUCH more powerful dynDNS feature on the WRT54g router itself. Navigate to your router (default: http://192.168.1.1 ) like you did earlier and get into the setup page. Click the "DDNS" menu and select the dyndns.org, enter your username, password, and domain name. I am assuming you already have a free dyndns account created or would otherwise have no issue setting up an account with them, so I won't cover that in my post. By clicking *Apply/Save Settings* assuming you configured your internet access through the router like you always did, the router should ask your cable/DSL modem what its WAN IP is and display it (the dynamic internet IP address that was making life difficult for you). What's nice about the router handling this task is that the router is usually first to know when the modem changes the IP (therefore it will immediately log in for you and update the dynDNS).
**Important** This camera uses port 80 by default, so while youre still logged into the router managment page, click on the "Applications & Gaming" menu and type an application name like "linksys" , start port 80, end port 80, TCP only, specify the camera's local DHCP address (default: 192.168.1.4) and don't forget to enable it by checking the box then *Apply/Save Settings*
I would allow at least several hours for the dynDNS servers to apply the changes before becoming concerned, but who knows maybe it will work right away for you. At this point, you should have plenty of functionality to play with the rest of the features of the camera, enjoy! I will post any additions/revisions if need be.

Hello -sloth !
Very easy understanding guide !
I have made all what you suggested.
But now I cannot add the camera in the monitor > setup page.
I can see the camera in the camera list WVC200.
IP 192.168.15.101
port 80
But when I press add, I get "connection fail".
Is the port still 80 - since the Channel is set to 6
I have done no port forwarding as other has suggested.
Checking with the browser at : 192.168.15.101
Page can't be found .....

WVC200 192.168.15.101 LAN 00:18:39:35:6A:13 23:24:26
The camera displays the same ip .......
The router setup page : Local IP 192.168.15.1
IP Address Range : 192.168.15. 100 to 149
I have made a system restore, and installed the camera sw again.
If I unplug the lan and turn to wireless the camera LCD display: 192.168.1.115 DHCP
But that page cannot be found ......

Can WRT54G be setup as a Wireless Access Point?

Does anyone know how to setup a router (WRT54G) to connect to other routers using a wireless connection and function as either a wireless access point or another router using the main router for it's internet and network connection?

you cannot get the WRT to connect wireless to any device as it is an access point.
However this same thing will work wired. All you need to do is change the LAN ip of the WRT to 192.168.1.50 from 192.168.1.1 and disable the DHCP on the WRT.
Connect both devices LAN to LAN , do not use the internet port of the WRT.

WRT54G version 6 - router setup screen via Internet Explorer 7 doesn't display correctly

Hi,
I've just set up my WRT54G router. I'm able to connect to the internet and I'm able to connect directly to the router via IE but the setup screen doesn't display correctly. I've tried resetting the computer and updating the firmware but it still doesn't display correctly. Almost all of the text is missing except for the Linksys logo and a few drop down menus. Any help/suggestions would be great, thanks.

Hi gang,
There a number of things that you can do to solve this problem but most of them involve changing the rules that you have already configured in your ZoneAlarm profile. My preferred solution is to:
-unplug your router from the WAN (why not?)
-turn off zone alarm
-access your router's administration page at http://192.168.1.1
-find the admin page where you can switch admin access from http to https
--- **save your changes !!**
-reboot your router
-plug the WAN cable back into your router
-turn ZoneAlarm back on
-access your admin page at https://192.168.1.1 ( note the 's')
Bob is your sister's brother! Your admin page should work as it is supposed to. Your router and ZoneAlarm should be playing nicely together. You haven't borked your finely tuned zonealarm rules. You were going to bookmark your admin page anyway, and if you want to allow remote administration, you would want to use https anyway. Nothing is broken and you fixed two things.

How To Setup WPA on WRT54G?

I have looked everywhere but cannot seem to find a how-to guide on WPA.
Everything I hear says WPA is more secure than WEP, but if it automatically exchanges keys, what prevents someone else from hopping on the wireless? My thought is it has something to do with an initial code to connect it to the network... but won't this just be like WEP?
I just need a how-to guide how to setup WPA.
I have a WRT54G v3.1 with latest firmware, and am using XP SP2 with latest updates. The card is non-linksys (I want to say Broadcom, but I am not sure).
Just need to know what to configure on the router and my PC.
From what I understand Personal vs Enterprise (If I remember, maybe it is called Corporate or something) is that the non-personal version requires a server, which I don't have. So I need personal.
The router does also have WPA2 on there, I do not know the differences but I would assume it to be better than regular WPA.
Thanks!

You may go to the linksys router set up page http://192.168.1.1 leave username blank and admin is the password.
Click on the wireless tab and the sub category tab under wireless the wireless security , you can choose wpa on the security mode, choose TKIP as the algorithms, on the pre-shared key typed in here your password for your wireless, this will server as your network, it should be at least 8 characters long. Leave it on 3600 seconds.
