Total Router Failure WRT54G

So here's the story.
Hooked up the brand new router about 2 weeks ago. Been working great.
I wake up this morning and my computer is disconnected. Upon closer inspection of the router, whenever it is unplugged or reset it always has the same light combination. Steady blinking power light. 1,2,3,4 solid on, and internet solid on. So I've double and triple checked all the connections. The modem seems to be behaving normal, but the router isn't working at all. I tried to reinstall the firmware, but when i type 192.168.1.1 into the IE browser of a direct wired computer I get a page not found. I don't know how to fix the router if I can't even access it from my computer. I tried turning it off, holding reset for 5-10 sec and turning it on with reset still pushed and holding it for 5-10 more and letting go and nothing changed. I have a version 6 by the way. Any ideas? Thanks.

You're modem could be conflicting with your router. Check if you can access the setup page of the router when it's disconnected from your modem. Check if your PC has a valid IP address from the router (e.g. 192.168.1.x). Be sue that you can ping the router. Try to disable any firewall and security software installed on your PC as well.

Can't use my HP Deskjet F4580 Wireless Printer with the AirPort Extreme Base. The printer is NOT connected at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme, and is placed in another room. It worked just fine with my previous router (Linksys WRT54G). Help me!

Hey Guys!
I just got my AirPort Extreme Base, but I can't use my HP Deskjet F4580 wireless printer with it.
The printer is not connected to the AirPort Extreme's USB port. It is placed in another room, and I'd like to use it (the printer) wirelessly (not connected to the USB port os the AirPort Extreme), as I used to. There is no place for the printer close the AirPort Extreme. It worked just fine with my previous wireless router (Linksys WRT54G). I'm very disappointed with the AirPort Extreme Base Station because of that!...
Can you help me? Please?!
Thanks Folks!

This must be a tough one, no suggestions at all.

Hi, I have a wireless linksys router model WRT54G. what i...

Hi, I have a wireless linksys router model WRT54G. what i want to do it´s configure a network in my home. I have 2 pc´s, a laptop an a desktop. what I should do to be able to share files,music,videos. between both computers? the laptop has Windows Vista, the desktop has Windows XP Professional. could you give me more details? step by step. thank you really much.

its really simple to set up a network, first make sure that all computers are in the same workgroup by right clicking on my computer, then properities, then computer name.
there you can make the setting for the work group
do not use the default one, create your own, do this for each computer.
next thing is to choose any folder that you want to share and right click on it, select sharing, then check the two boxes to share this folder and the other one to allow others to make changes to this folder.
doing this bypasses the trouble od setting up passwords for right now.
you should not have the network up and running with folders being shared with all in that workgroup.
you may want to check the manual for vesta as it may do things a bit differant that xp
you could also run the create a network wizard in the xp system.

White Screen - total system failure

I just purchased a new MacBook Pro, 1.83 GHz, serial # begins with W8614. I set up the AirPort wireless base and at first I could only get an internet connection right next to the base - I lost it if I moved farther away. I tried again later from the next room and this time the internet connection seemed to work. I was browsing the web and suddenly the entire screen went white for a few seconds, then nothing. The screen went dark and the computer died.
I unplugged it from the power source and plugged it in again, closed and opened it, tried every button, couldn't get anything to happen, the screen was totally dark. The computer was still on, though, because it was hot and the little white light at the latch on the front was on. I assumed the battery was still running, so I waited overnight for it to run out.
The next morning it was cold and the latch light was off. I plugged it back into the power adapter and tried to turn it on. For a second I heard a flicker of noise and then nothing again.
I called Apple tech support and they asked me to try a few things like resetting the power manager but nothing worked, it was still dead. So they arranged for me to send it in for repair. My question is: what could cause this kind of total system failure? It died completely in the first few minutes I was using it! Apple's always crowing about how reliable its computers are compared to the competition, but this performance is ghastly. It does not inspire confidence, to say the least. Can this kind of problem be repaired? Should I have any faith in the machine once it's returned to me? Yipes.

I bought it from Amazon, not Apple. Amazon allows you to return opened computers within 30 days, but they charge a 15% fee. I was hoping when I called Apple tech support that they'd just offer to replace it right away, but I guess if you buy the computer somewhere else their policy is to try repair first.
Certainly if Apple can't repair it, they'll send me another one. It's just that I never heard of a computer totally dying like that right after purchase - I wasn't aware how often that occurs. I'm just worried it might be buggy and crash frequently after I get it back - in other words, it might be a lemon. Hopefully I won't have to have it repaired over and over. Plus, of course I'm annoyed that I just acquired my shiny new expensive machine and now I have to wait two weeks before I can begin to use it.
Thanks for replying. Do you have an idea what causes this type of white screen demise? Any reassurance would be helpful.

Constant crashing - 'Total system failure'

Hey, if anyone could help me with this problem I seem to have I'd be really grateful, I don't know much about what's going on.
Basically, yesterday for no obvious reason a few apps started crashing on my iMac G4 running 10.4.9. Not being too technically gifted I used the solution to most of my problems, restarting the computer. Almost as soon as it started up though, it froze, so I had to restart again. This time safari refused to stay open for more than 5 minutes and msn messenger just bounced once in the dock and then stopped. I haven't installed anything dodgy recently, and the last thing that I got from apple was the 2007-004 security update.
So I ran the apple disc utility, and got it to fix some user permissions, but when it came to the 'verify disc' test, it didn't seem to happy. It said there was something wrong with the hard disc but it couldn't fix it. I got this message:
Verifying volume “Hard Disc”
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Illegal name
Keys out of order
The volume The volume isc needs to be repaired.
*** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***
*** REBOOT NOW ***
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
Unfortunately, have no idea what that means. Almost instantly after this though, some DOS-like black lines popped out from the left hand side of the screen, with white text full of numbers and computer jargon I didn't understand. As far as I could make out the kernel was involved It said something about a total system failure, and that it was waiting for a remote access code or something.
Anyway the point is, my computer is a tiny bit broken Doe anyone know if this is something ordinary that can be fixed with a few clicks of the mouse, or is there a virus involved? My initial thought was that it could have been the recent security update, but that was 4 days ago and this started last night.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Hi Ali_J;
May I welcome you to the Apple Discussion Forums.
First of all this is a virus.
Do you have a backup?
The error message "Keys out of order" indicates that you have some really serious problems which your disk. Do you have any idea as to exactly how full your disk is?
If you have run your free disk space very low this can cause this problem. If not, you might have a wonky disk. To repair this problem you are going to need a much more powerful tool then Disk Utility. DiskWarrior may be able to repair this problem. If it not able to fix the problem for you about the only alternative then is to reformat and reload.

ACE serverfarm total connections failures

I have many server farms in various contexts and every single serverfarm shows something like this:

total conn-failures : 456
The conn-failures counter keeps growning on all of the farms. What exactly could be the problem? People aren't complaining but it bothers me to see those counters grow.
Casey

total conn-failures counter can increment due to several reasons
1. When Server sends RST to close the connection
2. When Client Sends an invalid HTTP request
3. If "persistence-rebalance" & "layer 7 class map" is configured and ACE doesnt find a L7 condition in client request.
So increments in the counter doesnt always means that there is a server problem :)
There are bugs reported for all the above conditions.I am not sure if they are fixed in the latest release.
Hope it helps

Why routing failures create two messages in BizTalk admin

hi,
can some one help me to understand why routing failures create two messages in BizTalk admin, one with suspended(resumable) and one with suspended(non resumable)?
Regards, Amit More

One of the non-resumable Message contains the message context properties which is passe when message is passed for the first time . It varies for with each message retry .
While the second message contains your actual data i.e incoming message or the message which has failed to route to the destination system .You can resume it when ever the down stream system is available .

Sudden total boot failure. Any idea what would cause this??

Today I was adding more apps to my clean install (on an external drive) and I had to go back to my original "update" installation to get a password off Keychain (I did not migrate). After I got the pw, I shutdown and my Powerbook would not reboot! I got the chime and then utter blackness. No disk access was attempted on my external, nothing from internal drive, and still nothing when I tried the Leopard installation DVD.
I kept trying and finally (after 10-15 minutes of getting nothing except the initial startup sound) the screen lit up and I got to the Startup Manager disk selection. I was still unable to boot from the DVD; the boot sequence had progressed only part way and then totally stalled (I gave it about 3 times as long as it would normally take to boot from a CD or DVD). I tried this twice more so I thought I had suffered catastrophic hardware failure.
But, then, after a pram reset, I was able to restart into single-user mode and did a couple of the fsck's (file-system check in Unix) and it said the internal disk was OK both times. Got through login and to the Finder Desktop after a regular boot, and after a safe boot, but found that the Finder was corrupted and repeatedly crashed with almost everything I tried to do.
Reluctantly then tried to boot from external drive and found that - it worked!
Tried to fix internal drive unsuccessfully. Eventually found that DVD drive was working again too, so I did a Time Machine restore of the internal drive after booting from the Leopard install disk.
After getting the internal drive to boot again (Time Machine worked!!), the Wacom tablet driver immediately crashed (even though I had supposedly loaded a Leopard-compatible version), so I then went to Terminal and got rid of all the StartupItems and PreferencePanes in the root Library and my user Library. I tried rebooting and since it did so without issue this time, I hooked up Time Machine and made a new backup.
How did the total boot failure get caused? I had never seen anything like this before where the screen stayed totally black and not even the DVD would boot.
I am now back to "normal" after 7 hours. Moral of the story is that even when your computer looks completely dead, keep trying. I just hope it doesn't happen again, since I'm not sure what the issue was.

Faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take this iPhone back.

Wi-Fi problems with Router Linksys Wrt54gs

Hello guys. Could anyone help me with this problem ? I´m using wireless connection with the Router Linksys Wrt54gs and I´m losing my connection constantly. Sometimes, I restart the router and the connection returns again. Sometimes not. Other times, I have a perfect connection and sudenlly, it gets lost. Seems my router is restarting automatically. What should I do ?

I suggest you contact Linksys technical support and in the bottom right corner opt to have a live chat with an agent.

Wrt54GS router and Wrt54GS wireless adapter on Xbox 360

Totally new in the wireless router business, I bought the Wrt54GS router and the Wrt54GS adapter to connect my Xbox 360.
I installed the router with the cd and connected my pc on the router with a fixed ethernet cable.
So far everything working fine.
Then connected the wireless adapter on the Xbox 360, but it seems like the Xbox 360 doesn't recognise the Wrt54GS adapter.
What did i do wrong?
Sebastian

Do you have wireless PC's ? are they able to go online ?
enable network security and also change the beacon to 50 and the RTS and fragmentation threshold by 40 each under the advanced wireless settings.

Total Router Bandwidth Usage

Is there a way to see the total bandwidth coming through a router? Namely the WRT54GL. Any program that monitors all router activity other than just the computer it's installed on? I just added a Netflix streaming box to the router and have no way of telling how much bandwidth is coming through it. Due to my ISP monthly limits I am forced to keep track. I checked the routers config page but saw nothing built in that offered this.

You might want to look into 3rd party firmware (which will void your Linksys warranty, if you have any left).
Tomato is an excellent 3rd party firmware for the WRT54G (up to V4) and WRT54GL. It has a nice graphical RealTime bandwidth graph, and will log daily and monthly usage in text format. It is much more flexible than the stock linksys firmware, with QoS capabilities, Static DHCP, and much more. There are also user modified builds that allow you to use your router as an OpenVPN server.

Can access internet when connected w/ethernet cables in router, but WRT54G says it can't connect

I have my router, modem, and computer all set up correctly. I can access the internet in this setup but with only the computer that is connected with the ethernet cord to the router. Yet, my WRT54G router can't connect to the internet in the Linksys easy setup nor through the http:192.168.1.1 method.
When I changed the internet connection type to PPPoE, my modem was unable to access the internet. I also changed the IP to 192.168.2.1 but that didn't help. I have performed several power cycles. I have upgraded the firmware.
I changed the internet connection type back to DHCP, so I am able to come on this website, but I can't set up the wireless since the router says it can't connect to the internet. Please help!

Start it from scratch...Reset your router and re-configure it...
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...
Also make sure that your computer is set to obtain IP automatically, disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer before trying to access the setup page.

Now see if you can locate your wireless network on your wireless computer and attempt to connect...

Wireless-G Broad band Router Model wrt54g

Just bought a new lap top. I already have to computers at home that I have connected via the wireless router. Have been setup and working fine for years. Was told all I had to do was connect my laptop to the same network. Tried and it finds the linksyshome network but then asks me for a password or security phrase which I have no idea what it is. I tried using admin and it connects to the network but states I do not have inernet access with this connect because of security phrase. Is there anyway I can reset my security phrase to something I remember? Please answer in laymans terms because I dont understand alot about this whole process.

You must get into the settings of the router. If you have not set up a password for the router you can get into it by using the default password. First connect to the router with a wire. Once wired to the router then type in 192.168.1.1 into your web browser and it will prompt you for a user name and password. The default is blank for the username and admin for the password. Once in the web browser go to the wireless tab and security and setup the passphrase. Once you install the passphrase you can then logon to you network.
If you are unable to get into your router with the default password and you cant remember the password you put in at setup, then you can push the reset button for 30 seconds on the back of the router. Reboot, and this will restore everything to default. You will then have to repeat steps above and reset security, ssid and mac filtering.

Super slow connection when using additional linksys SD205 router with WRT54G

Hi there,
I have a WRT54G that distributes my cable modem's internet connection. All my wired and wireless connections work perfectly.
I recently got a Linksys SD205 5 port switch and connected it to a wired port on my WRT54G router, then connected 3 network devices to this 5 port switch (a mac running OS10.4.10, a pc running winXP SP2, and a network printer).
The problem with this setup is that my internet connection has now slowed to an absolute crawl - if it works at all.
I've tried switching cables but nothing makes a difference. Plugging directly into the WRT54G eliminates the problem - network speed goes back to normal.
What am i missing here? Shouldn't this type of setup just work? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
thanks
Brendan

The WRT54G firmware is version 8. I just upgrade to v8.02. and now everything's working fine. thanks for reminding me to do the obvious

Why is my Macbook Pro suddenly and constantly shutting down/crashing on me and giving me a blacked out or blued out screen with lines? Seems like a total system failure is happening?

Macbook Pro- shortly after upgrading to free software upgrade to Mavericks- 10.9.5-
has suddenly been freezing up, but went more directly to 'shutting down,' CRASHING on its own. Most of the time, if I'm even able to successfully get the laptop turned back on, it only stays up/on for a few moments before repeating the failure. The failure is often accompanied with the monitor going 'blank,' or most typically either 'blacking out,' or going blue/green or grey screen with lines or grids all over the monitor. All Desktop visibility, functions or applications in process disappears. This has caused repetetive 'forced shut downs,' which I never usually do, unless prompted to because I have no choice like this.... Or as I said, the computer itself will just shut down and turn off by itself.... Can anyone tell me what this issue is, and I'm pretty sure other Mac users have seen this exact thing I'm describing happening on their laptops, with their systems or on their monitors. Someone please explain or point me in the right direction... as naturally my laptop just went out of warranty as well.... And I don't know if this means the entire system is basically corrupted, dying/dead... and or if it is a monitor issue, a hardware issue, software issue or if there is anything that can be done to restore, repair it, etc.? Also another thing I have noticed ever since getting this laptop- (few years old now...) is that it runs VERY HOT... has in fact burned my lap /skin many times... and seems like the fan or internal operating systems/functions are also perhaps not functioning properly. Can this also be causing the problem? Or is it a corruption or virus of some kind? etc. Thank you.

What you describe sounds like a hardware issue. Unfortunately, you'll need to get that checked out by Apple. If you have an Apple Store near you, make an appointment with the Genius Bar and take the machine in for evaluation.
