Third PC unable to connect to WRT54G

I already have two PCs hardwired to the router and they work great. I've tried to hook up a third PC but it doesn't seem to be able to contact the router and I can't get a valid IP address with DHCP. Even if I hardcode the IP address it doesn't work. I hooked the same PC up to a different network and it worked so I know the issue isn't the PC.

how long have u had the router? have u tried all the ports and change cables? coz as u said u have tried connecting the pc to other network...basically, 2 desktops are already working now only 1 desktop is not connecting.

Unable to connect to wrt54g V8

I bought a LG BD390 DVD player with wireless capability for netflix and video streaming. I am having difficulty connecting wirelessly to the router with the DVD player. The player can find the wireless network but it can not make a connection to it. If I disable security on the router I can make a connection and access the internet. Does anyone know what the problem is? Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I have the WPA TKIP security. When I turn security off I am able to get a connection. I can not get a connection with WEP security. I tried messing around with the MAC filter, but kind of did not know what I was doing.
I do not have any problems with laptops or a Wii game system accessing the router with security turned on. I do not understand what makes this DVD so special. My knowledge is limited with routers. I tried downloading an upgrade for the router, but my computer was unable to implement the .bin file. If you have any other suggestions/ help I would appreciate it. Thanks, Ike

Unable to connect to WRT54G

I am trying to connect to 192.168.1.1 and I keep getting Failure to Connect to Web Server. If I disconnect my satellite modem then I get a time out error. I want to enable WPA security but I can't even get to the cofiguration screen to do that. I've been working on this for 4 hours and I'm really getting frustrated. I can still connect to the internet (obiviously since I posted this), but I can't cofigure my router. I've reset the factory settings (pressing the reset button for 30 seconds.. more than once) and still nothing. I'm at my wits end here. Please someone help me... ugh

As for now you are not able to login to your router setup page, So the first thing which you need to do is, Click on the Start Button - Click on RUN - and in the RUN box type "CMD" and Click Ok... and in the command prompt window type "Ipconfig" and check whats the IP address you are getting it from your Router to the Computer, then again in the Command Prompt window type "Ping (Default Gateway IP address) and Hit Enter and check if you are getting any replies.
Then open IE and in the address bas type that Default Gateway IP address, and it will Prompt you for the Username and Password, Leave the Username Blank and in the Password Typed "admin" and click Ok. Now you will be able to login to the router setup page.
If still you are not able to login to the router setup page, Then you Unplug the Power from your Router and Keep it unpluged for 30 seconds and after 30 seconds plug the power to your router and try to login to your router setup page. In case if you are still not able to Login to the router setup page, Then Press and hold the reset button for 60 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 60 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now you can try to login to your router setup page, I think you might be able to login to the router setup page.I think this should work for you.

Suddenly unable to connect - WRT54G

I have a Linksys WRT54G router connected to a PC. 2nd PC connects fine via wireless adapter. 1 laptop connects fine. Newest laptop connected fine until 4 days ago. Now it shows the wireless network with full signal, but is unable to connect for more than 30 seconds to 3 minutes at a time with long gaps of no connectivity between. I am able to connect to other wireless networks with no lag or drop, outside my home.
I have: reset router, powered down and powered up modem & router, changed SSID from default name, turned off firewalls and antivirus (back on since nothing changed), disabled MAC and Security Mode on router, updated drivers, restored the laptop to a date before the problem occured.
Out of ideas and very hopeful that there is a fix. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

First of all, set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
Poor wireless connections are often caused by radio interference from other 2.4 GHz devices. This includes wireless phones, wireless baby monitors, microwave ovens, wireless mice and keyboards, wireless speakers, and your neighbor's wireless network. In rare cases, Bluetooth devices can interfere. Even some 5+ GHz phones also use the 2.4 Ghz band. Unplug these devices, and see if that corrects your problem.
In your router, try a different channel. There are 11 channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Usually channel 1, 6, or 11 works best. Check out your neighbors, and see what channel they are using. Because the channels overlap one another, try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors. For example, if you have a strong neighbor on channel 9, try any channel 1 through 4.
Also, try to locate the router about 4 to 6 feet above the floor, in an open area. Do not locate it behind your monitor or near other computer equipment or speakers. The antenna should be vertical.
Also, in the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. (If you have a long list, this might be the sole cause for your problem.) Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. If your current network is not listed, enter its info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings".
Some users have reported improved wireless performance by switching from to WPA encryption.
If you continue to have problems, try the following:
For wireless g routers, try setting the "Transmission Rate" to 54 Mbps.
If you still have trouble, download and install the latest firmware for your router. After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
Hope this helps.

Unable to connect to the router! (wrt54g v. 2)

I just got a router from a garage sale; it was still in the box and everything.
Well, I tried hooking it up to my modem and computer to get wifi, but I can't get it to work.
This is the setup:
modem -> router -> computer
I can access the internet when the setup is this way, but there's no wifi, and I can't access 192.168.1.1 or set it up using the CD it came with. When I go through the setting up process with the CD, I get this error message that says "Unable to connect to router! Check that the router has been connected to the computer, and that you're ethernet adapter is working."
When I try to go to 192.168.1.1, it says "The connection has timed out." I can't ping it either.
I've also tried resetting it several times, but that doesn't do anything.
Someone please help!

Hi sylentknight and welcome to the forums!
You said that you are able to connect to the internet with this set-up: modem -> router -> computer right? So does that mean that you can ping the router when it is connected directly to your computer? Reason why I'm asking is if it does work, you can try to configure the router for the wireless settings while it is directly connected to the router first then try to go wireless. Please let me know if understood your post correctly.

Unable to connect to internet with my WRT54G router

I had no problem until a few days ago. I have it under a secured mode and wanted to unsecure it temporarily. I got into the 192.168.2.1 and clicked the security tab and got a clock that never seemed to come back to i closed the window. I went back into internet explorer and could not get into the internet.  I get a popup in lower right saying Local Area connection. This connection has limited or no connectivty. You might not be able to access the internet or some resources. For more information click this message.
Then I get
Windows could not finis repra the problem because the following actin can not be completed. Renewing your IP address.
I do a setup and get a message
Unable to connect to the router
I try pinging the 192.168.1.1 and it times out.
I do a diagostic and
HTTP Error 12007 connecting to www.microsoft.,com  shows up many times.
I have an Actiontec 701 DSL modem. I can get into the internet using that only.
I've tried resetting the router, I've done   what appears to be a firmware upgrade (lights blink etc), I've tried different power up sequences, I've tried re-booting.
What more can I try?

As of now you are not able to login to your router setup page, and you are getting an error message "Limited or no Connectivity". First you can try is Unplug the Power from your router, wait for 1 min and reconnect the power to your router and check if you connected to the router or still you are getting the same error message.
If still the same problem persist then Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

What is the ip address you are getting on the hard-wired computer..?
Are you able to see the network name on the Wireless Computer..?
Are you getting any error message on the Wireless Computer..?
Try to reflash the firmware of the router...You can download the firmware from www.linksys.com/downloads.On the linksys setup page,click on Administration tab and click on firmware upgrade to upgrade the firmware.After upgrading the firmware,reset the router again for 30 seconds,power cycle the entire network...
Open the setup page again...Under the setup tab,click on Mac Address Clone tab and click on enable>>>click on "Clone My PC's Mac" and click save settings..Now,click on the status tab and check if you are getting the valid ip address...?
If you are getting the valid ip address then,try to go online on the wired computer...If you are able to go online on the wired computer then,reconfigure the wireless settings and try to go online from the Wireless computer.

WRT54G: Unable to connect to the Router!

I have set up my router exactly as told in the setup wizard, but when I get to step 8, I encounter a problem and I get the following error message:
Unable to connect to the Router!
Check that your Router has been connected to the computer, and that your Ethernet adapter is working!
Oddly, my wired internet works just fine through the router, but my wireless doesn't because I can't complete the setup. All the lights that are supposed to be on are on and not blinking or anything.
What do I need to do to fix this?

you can actualy configure the router without using a setup cd.. you can try accessing the router setup page using your working computer that is wired to the router. just go to internet exp. type 192.168.1.1 on the address box.. it will ask for password- just type admin. go to the wireless menu - change the ssid to any name that you want to name your network. try to view wireless networks on your wireless pc and check if you can see the name that you set. connect to it..
you can check if it works.

WRT54G unable to connect to certain internet addresses

The title is a little misleading but I wasn't sure how to word it properly.
Here is my problem, my router frequently does not want to connect to many addresses even though I can ping them. If I try to download from my newsgroup server it just says unable to connect, if I try to watch youtube videos I get an error occured. The only way to get around this is to power cycle my router. Any ideas on what's going on? I have to do this at least every other day.
edit:
I forgot to mention that I have updated to the latest firmware to try to remedy this issue.
Message Edited by jtadeo on 08-12-2009 03:05 PM

After upgrading the firmware, did you reset the router...if no then follow the steps...
Press and hold the reset button for 60 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

Unable to connect via wireless, printer is online.

I am using a Photosmart plus 209a via wireless. There are 3 notebooks connected. 2 will print but my Dell Studio (Win 7 Pro) will not. It was previously connected but now unable to connect. I have uninstalled all components using level 3 twice. Have used the Print/Scan tool. Downloaded the full SW package and the Basic driver SW. I process a job and it gets to the spooler and then "print job failed". I can view the control panel via IP address. I can view network settings and print wireless test page through HP Solution Center. Why am I unable to connect? I was able to use via USB but this is not an option.

It sounds like there is something different on the Dell Studio since it works from two other computers on the same network as the Dell Studio. It also sounds like you are able to access the EWS of the printer by using its IP address.
Are there any other errors messages regarding the printer? If so, what are they?
Is there a third party firewall installed (e.g. Norton, Kasperksy, BitDefender, etc.)?
Is this Windows 7 Professional 32bit or 64bit?

I'm unable to connect to any AOL servers using Mail. Other computers, iPhone, iPad all connect successfully.

Hello everyone,
     I have been working with AOL for about three months now with no end in sight. I purchased a MacBook Pro in late September and attempted to use Mail (later Outlook with the same results) to download my Gmail and AOL email. I confirmed all the settings were correct for both accounts and began downloading email. Once completed, I noticed only my Gmail had downloaded and AOL stated it was unable to connect to any of the servers. I engaged AOL and they've been making me try random ports, deleting profiles, etc. Nothing was worked.
     I am looking here in hopes someone knows something since I'm able to access AOL email via the web, using my iPhone's Mail app, my iPad's mail app, and two of my Windows laptops. Only my MacBook Pro with Retina Display (Mid-2012) has issues. I'm running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 with all updates.
     Tried using telnet but get "connection refused". No firewalls are running. I thought maybe it was the OS itself so I installed Office 2010 on Windows 7 in Fusion and Outlook gives me "an encrypted connection to your mail server is not available". This is a clean install with no firewalls, AV, nothing.
In both Windows on Fusion and my Mountain Lion, Outlook and Mail successfully connect to Gmail's IMAP servers but fail to connect to AOL's POP or IMAP servers.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance.

Thanks for this.
Before I see your suggestion, I did it below that worked well:
- SIgn off the Mac App store (if you were signed in with another Apple ID)
- Leave the Mac App store open
- Quit iTunes and iBooks if they are running
- Open Safari, and go to Preferences/Privacy
- Choose to block cookies "Always"
- Click on "details" under "Remove all website data ..."
- Search for apple.com; select the "apple.com" line then click "Remove", then click "Done"
- Quit Safari
- Open Activity Monitor (search for it using Spotlight or find it in the Applications/Utilities folder)
- In Activity Monitor, search for "storeagent". You should find "storeagent" and possibly "ibookstoreagent"
- Select each of them and force quit them (using the X in the toolbar if you are using Mavericks)
- In the Finder, go to the ~/Library/Cookies folder (go to ~/Library using the "Go" menu while pressing Alt then open the Cookies folder)
- Delete   "com.apple.appstore.cookies"   and empty the trash.
- Go to the Mac App Store and sign in. This should work. You can press Esc if asked for your username and password a second time.
- Go to Safari, then Preferences/Privacy
- Choose to block cookies "from third parties and advertisers"
- Go back to the Mac App Store. You should be able to use it "normally".
Some steps might be overkill, but it seems to work for me now.
Anyway, thanks!!

EA3500 - Windows was unable to connect... (Win 7 and Win 8.1 have done this off and on)...

I recently purchased a Linksys EA3500 router and am using it as the sole router in my home network. I have primarily had three devices connected to the network computers/tablets - two running Win7 and one running Win8.1.
The first few days were OK but then the Win 8.1 system would not connect to the network (see the error message below). "Windows was unable to connect..." I tried the problem troubleshooter, power cyclilng the comptuer, power cycling the router. Updating the router firmware to the latest (it added a .1 at the end). Uninstalling and reinstalling wireless drivers on the computer. I've reset the router to factory defaults. I've run the router with and without wifi passwords.
This morning I was able to connect the Win 8.1 system to the network. Not sure what changed overnight. However, today I have had two instances of a different computer, one of the Win 7 systems, suffering the same problem. Different hardware. The Win 8.1 system is an Asus T100 tablet/netbook using a Broadcom 802.11abgn Wireless SDIO Adapter. The Win 7 system is a Dell E6540 laptop using a Dell Wireless 1506 802.11b/g/n 2.4 GHz adapter manufactured by Atheros Communications, Inc.
Last night, when I was having problems with the Win 8.1 system, I should note that it worked fine with the 5 GHz network. The laptop, however, does not support 5 GHz and now that it's suffering the same problem my only work-around is a cellular hotspot.
I'm suspecting the router at this point. Has anyone else seen this? Any ideas what could be causing it, what I could do to fix it or what I might do to help diagnose the problem(s) ? I'm more than willing to run third-party software to analyze and better understand what is happening on a network level (I would actually like to understand as much as anyone is willing to get me started on).
If I am unable to determine why certain systems almost seem to become "banned" from my network while others are working just fine then I'm going to have to return this device and try something else.
Thanks,
Dave

Hi @daved31,
You are on the right track. Checking the Wireless MAC Filter is one of the troubleshooting steps. For 2.4 GHz frequency, the suggested channels are 1, 3, 6, 9 and 11. For the 5 GHz, I suggest to use the highest channel. Those channels will give you a better signal, just make sure that no other wireless device is using it to avoid wireless interference.
If only one wireless device is not connecting wirelessly, we should focus on the wireless device itself because we know that the router/access point is working since the other wireless devices are working wirelessly.
I suggest to delete preferred networks on the laptop. Here's the link that may help: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/GetArticle.aspx?docid=85537a14b0214be48217c733bba9ac65_Removing_Wirele...

Can't connect to WRT54G after firmware update

I just tried to update the firmware on my WRT54G (version 8.0) and have not been able to connect to the router since then. The firmware said that it had been updated successfully, however I have been unable to connect since it reset itself, and the Ethernet and Internet LEDs are all constantly on even though nothing is connected (the power light on the other hand is behaving normally, not blinking or anything). I have tried resetting the router by holding down the reset button for 30 seconds, but this does not change anything, the router still cannot even be pinged. If anyone can give me any help at all with this, it will be very much appriciated. Thanks.

It sounds like the router might already be dead. But there is always hope that you might be able to revive it.
You need to try again to reset the router to factory defaults.
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.

Outlook is unable to connect to the proxy server. (Error code 0)

Hello,
I have just commenced a Exchange 2007 SP3 to Exchange 2013 SP1 migration following the following guide: http://blogs.technet.com/b/meamcs/archive/2013/07/25/part-1-step-by-step-exchange-2007-to-2013-migration.aspx
As per the above guide, my 2007 environment is now known as legacy.company.com and my 2013, webmail.company.com.
I'm using the same certificate on both boxes and it has the names autodiscover.company.com, webmail.company.com and legacy.company.com. All that seems to be working fine.
OWA is functioning perfectly, hitting https://webmail.company.com will pass the user off to https://legacy.company.com if the mailbox is on 2007. Alongside this, Outlook also has no issues connecting to 2007 mailboxes with the client proxy settings
being reconfigured to https://legacy.company.com automatically.
My problem comes when a mailbox is migrated to 2013. OWA functions fine and presents the mailbox but Outlook is unable to connect, presenting the error:
There is a problem with the proxy server's security certificate.
The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the target site webmail.company.com.
Outlook is unable to connect to the proxy server. (Error Code 0)
If I modify the Outlook client's settings and disable "Only connect to proxy servers that have this principal name in their certificate: msstd:webmail.company.com", Outlook connects and functions fine.
I'm at a loss and have tried everything I can think and find on google. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

CS5.5 Subscription: Unable to connect to internet.

So, for two days, I've been unable to use either of the two Creative Suite 5.5 Master Collection licenses I'm currently subscribing to and paying a pretty penny for. Yesterday, Adobe customer support informed me that something must be "wrong with my machine", so, I dutifully did all of the testing, cleaning up, repairing and troubleshooting I could think of on that machine. CS5.5 Subscription on that one still doesn't work. Today, I attempted to use the other license I'm paying for on a different machine, with the exact same results.
When attempting to open any of the products, I get this message:
When I click Try Again, I get this one, which stays on this screen and never changes:
As you can imagine, I'm fairly certain I'm connected to the internet, since I'm typing this in the forum right now. I've attempted a wired connection, wireless connection and my MiFi connection, restarted, stood on one foot while patting my head, and attempted to bribe my software, with the same results each time.
Specs:
MacBook Pro 15" / Snow Leopard
Mac Mini / Lion
To reiterate, here are the steps I've attempted:
Repair permissions
Repair disk
Multiple restarts
Move from Wired to Wireless connection
Move from Wireless to MiFi connection
This isn't an issue with Lion, since it's occuring on both machines with different serial numbers. This is a problem with Adobe's subscription licensing server, or a problem with the way the software connects to it. Any assistance is appreciated, and the quicker I get it, the happier I'll be, since this has already caused me to fall behind on a deadline. At this point, I'm considering canceling the monthly subscription and reinstalling my version of CS4, which, while missing some of the features I upgraded to CS5.5 for, at least works.
Side note for Adobe personnel: It's not entirely clear in your FAQs for the subscription editions that you have to be connected to the internet every single time you open the software.

I'm getting that exact same message. Started today and it's driving me crazy. I can't find any information on error code 194:100. I talked to customer support through chat and they hadn't any clue as to what error 194:100 could be. They said it was technical and I should contact tecnical support. Why anyone would want to talk to a support agent that cannot fix problems and just generally tells you to call the real customer support, I have no idea.
This is the second time I've had problems with my software activation. It was slightly different but similar in several ways. I figured I'd metion some specifics to see if it matches more or less anyone else's problems.
Both times I've noticed I've had trouble with my adobe account id. Specifically I can log in just fine but I can't access the acount info section. I get a page not found error.
This time around I noticed many other weird things.
Adobe updater disappeared from my mac.
Encoder refused to encode certain premeire sequences.
Premiere froze on export of those same sequences.
And I first got the Unable to Connect to internet error this morning. Followed shortly The "Activation Failure error code #194:100" one. I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times and Premiere seems to run fine at least once. But if I try to open any other adobe application or if I load another project I get error 194:100.
The first time I had Activation Problems I ended up having to return the software, wait for the refund, delete my adobe id account, create a new one and buy it again with the new account.
I hope this is not a repeat of last time cause I'm seriously not rebuying defective software a third time.
I don't know if this helps but your problem seemed similar to mine.
