Trying to connect three laptops to a WRT54G Router

We never had this issue until today but all of a sudden, the router isn't connecting with my two sons' laptops. Mine is okay. I think the problem has something to do with us all sharing the same address. Should we each create our own network or have a unique identity number to differentiate so it will let us all be on at the same time? I'm not sure where to go to fix this. I know all the numbers and passwords to put in but seem to be missing that one piece of the puzzle to make it all work.
Thanks for your assistance.

Try to adjust the wireless settings on the router and try to reconnect the laptop again.
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...
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 neighbors network...Set the Wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz... Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
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.Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
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...

I am using a mini display port to VGA adapter. I have sucessfully hooked up boh devices but it stopped working after a handful of times. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to fix the problem or is my cable broken?

The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
Read up the issue.

I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.

Not able to connect my Iphone to my WRT54GS router with security enabled

As the subject line states, I'm not able to connect my Iphone to my WRT54GS router when the security is enabled. When ever I attempt to connect to my network with my phone it always tells me the password is incorrect. I have double checked the password in the easylink advisor and it matches up. I have also tried both WPA and WEP with the same result, I know that the wireless is working on the router as I turned the security off and was able to connect to it. I updated the firmware this evening also with no changes. If anyone could help me with this issue it would be much appreciated.

First of all, in the router, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also, in the router, set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your iPhone find and lock on to your router's signal.
To connect using WEP, enter WEP "key 1" (found in the router) into the iPhone, not the WEP password or passphrase.
To connect using WPA, make sure that there is not an encryption nomenclature problem. For example, WPA is not the same as WPA with AES. Please note the following:
WPA = PSK = WPA with TKIP = WPA personal
WPA2 = PSK2 = WPA with AES = WPA2 personal
I am not certain, but your iPhone probably does just ordinary WPA (not WPA with AES). Assuming that this is correct, then the router should be set to:
"WPA personal" with "TKIP"
Also, in the iPhone, be sure to delete the entry for your unsecured connection to your router, before you try to input info regarding the secured connection to the router.
Hope this helps.

New Galaxy 5s. Trying to connect to a guest wireless that routes browser to a login screen. The wireless will not connect (gives authentication error), so will not pull up browser window. My previous Android did not have this problem (it would connect and immediately reroute to the login screeen).

Would you please try manually set the DNS address on client NIC to the IP of your server, then try run the connector again?

Trying to connect second laptop wirelessly but can only use numbers in password field

I've connected my Mac and another PC to my Valet Plus with no trouble. The third PC, running Windows XP, can only be connected as a guest. When trying to connect to this laptop to the home network, the password will only accept numbers.
I've tried changing the PC's security settings, disabling the firewall, etc. Has anyone experienced this problem?

What is the service pack on your computer?
If it is windows XP service pack 1 then I think you will need to upgrade the OS to SP3. Because SP1 will not support WPA/WPA2 security mode.
When you install the router using Cisco connect, the wireless security on the router will be WPA/WPA2.

HT3956 I have tried to connect three MOTU 828mk3's using this new aggregate device listed here, but it wont work any suggestions?

Hi
I am trying to use three 828mk3's with an analouge desk and after creating a new aggregate device in Audio/midi set up it doesn't seem to work, also the blue shaded are doesn't allow me to move the volume up or down?
Any suggetions?
Thanks

Hi
The situation is like this, we have ordered 3 motu 828mk3 AI's to replace old avid hardware. We have a 24 track analogue BIG desk made by langley. The issue is that Logic 9 and Pro tools 10 don't want to use all the sound cards together, if we change the playback engine to MOTU 2 then we can use channels 9-16, then the 3rd one for channels 17-24 etc. Looking around at forums and other sites as lead me to set up a new aggregate device in the audio/midi set up in utilities. Again after we tried this it still doesn't allow us to use all three together. Motu state that you can daisy chain up to 4 devices, i have sent an email to MOTU but have yet to gain a response.

Issues connecting multiple machines wirelessly to WRT54G router

I have a WRT54G router and have one wired desktop, two laptops that connect fine and then I have a netbook and another desktop with wireless adapter I am having issues with connecting. I used the wizard and set each machine up with the downloaded executable, it says it works but when I try to connect I get unable to connect to wireless network message. ANy ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated

You have one computer connected with the cable and 2 wireless computers working fine. That means the router is working fine.
I think you should check the wireless settings of the router first.
You have one computer connected to the router with the Ethernet cable. Open the setup page of the router and go to Wireless tab. Check the wireless network name. Go to wireless security sub tab. Check the wireless security mode and make sure that you have the correct password of your wireless network. Go to Wireless MAC address filter sub tab and make sure that it is disabled.
Try to connect to the wireless network again and see if that works.

Problem connecting to same game server, WRT54G router.

Hello I have a WRT54G router, me and my brother cannot play on the same game server on Team Fortress 2. It kicks the person already in the server when the other person joins and gives a connection issue. We think the game server cannot take the same IP twice in the same server.
We checked IPs on ipchicken.com and we're sure the router giving us the same IP is the problem. If it matters we're connected with ethernet cords, not wirelessly. Is there any way to change the IP addresses or fix this?
Thanks, Matt

The game server will only see the single IP address assigned to the modem or router by your ISP, and won't see the individual computer's locally assigned addresses.
So, unfortunately I see no way around this without subscribing to a separate internet connection with your ISP.

This laptop has only XP installed, I am trting to use a wireless G card. Going through set up I am getting "wireless adptr not installd or software not installed".

Hey there CountryGirl2!
Let me start asking you for a few things first and probably we could make a solution out of your problem:
1. What's the model# of your router? Try to look underneath it and you'd see it below the Linksys label. ex. WRT54G v6.
2. Do you have any computer which is physically connected to the router and is able to get online?

Airport express cant connect to internet through linksys wrt54g router

Hi, i need some help.
I have an airport express that i cant seem to get to connect to the internet.
I have a cable modem to linksys wrt54g wireless router. An xp computer connected by LAN to the router.
An Imac wirelessly.
An xp laptop wirelessly.
And a printer via the LAN
All work just fine.
But when i configured the aiport express to be a wds for the linksys to increase the range for my laptop or imac for that matter. It displays a green light, but has no connection, because it doesnt give the laptop or the imac a correct ip adress, that is what i seem to think the problem is.
Please can someone help, i'm desperate.
Thanks

Did you follow instructions like this to add the AE to your Linksys network?

Also, make sure that "Distribute IP addresses" is NOT checked.

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...
