[URGENT!] Cannot connect a computer to the internet via WRT54GSv4 router

I have spent more money than the devil knows on fixing my wireless internet, and just recently I discovered these forums. Go figure.
Anyways, two or three weeks ago my upstairs computer's internet connect flopped and died. This is about the seventh time this has happened, in ONE YEAR! I use a Westell modem and a WRT54GSv4 router, a WRE54G Range Expander outside the room, and a Dynex Enhanced Wireless-G Adapter. One day I was playing WoW (ftw...), and all of a sudden I was disconnected, rather rudely. I looked back to my Expander: The top light was red, and the bottom blue, which means activity but no link (meh?). Anyways, I got limited or no connectivity for the first few days, but not connected, and finnaly my Routed connection died and wouldn't even show on the list of in range wireless connections. If the router was a person, I'd beat it with a bat. Or at least with words.
In the past I configured it to allow Battle.net ports 6112 through 6119 to host games on Warcraft III. I have done nigh on nothing else to mess with my router, no firmware upgrades, no meddling (except for some resets to factory defaults via 30 seconds reset button), etc. It randomly shuts off and dies, but the thing that really pisses me off is the fact that my parents' laptop still has connectivity to the routed network. I don't know if its something to do with my router, something screwed with my modem, my range expander being gay, or my Dynex adapter being pwned by some virtual cannon.
If any of y'all could provide any information whatsoever relating to this fix as soon as possible, I would be greatly appreciative!

As you said your Parents computers are able to go online thorugh the Router, That means its not the problem with the Router, You just need to input the same wireless settings on your Wireless WRE.

I have an upgrade question. I received a notification when I connected my computer to the internet that Lightroom 5.7.1 was available

I have an upgrade question. I received a notification when I connected my computer to the internet that Lightroom 5.7.1 was available it included HDR & Panoramic photo merge. I cant find these. Where do I find them.

well that was a big waste of my time & data allowance then ...
I live in a flaky slow internet area & I keep my photo edit machine off the internet unless & want to update something. CC is no use to me & that useless update just used up a 12th of my allowance for the year ...

What router are you using? make/model/version
What security type are you using? If it is WEP then symbolic (non hex) keys may be converted to hex in different ways by different operating systems. Is your laptop a Windows PC?
If you are using WEP then drop it and move to WPA2. WEP has been deprecated by the WiFi alliance since 2004 as insecure (it can be hacked in seconds).

My hotspot won't connect my computer to the internet since I upgraded my phone to ios7. The PC sees the hotspot but won't connect. The op sys on the PC is windows 7 ultimate. Can anyone help?

My hotspot won't connect my PC to the internet since I upgraded the op sys on the 4s iphone. The PC sees that hotspot but won't connect. The op sys on the PC is windows 7 ultimate. Can anyone tell me what to do please?

Glad to hear it is all straightened out. You are right about the upgrade cost. That is one reason why Adobe switched to monthly licensing—no more upgrade cost <g, r, & d>. Of course we do have nearly monthly product upgrades. It is almost like playing whack a mole.

Connect a tablet to the Internet via 301's Bluetoo...

My tablet computer, which does not have 3G connectivity, cannot connect to the Internet via its Bluetooth connection to my Nokia 301.
However, my two friends' iPads can connect to the Internet via their Bluetooth connection to my Nokia 301. (My friends first disabled their iPads' own network connection to verify this.)
I have read in several sites that a mobile phone should have Wi-Fi connectivity - which the 301 does not have - to be able to function as a "mobile hotspot", enabling internet connection. But then why does the 301 allow the iPad to connect to the Internet via the Bluetooth connection?
Any solutions? Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Xenostring
The 301 does not support WiFi Hotspot, but it can do Bluetooth tethering, provided your Tablet can use a Bluetooth Modem to connect to the internet.
It all depends on your tablet and the the connections supported by its bluetooth.
Contacting your Tablet's support will be a better path to take.

How do I connect my Centro to the Internet via bluetooth over PC's Internet? Where is Centro's PPP Connection Type? How do I setup Login Script for bluetooth connection?

I am trying to set up bluetooth on the Centro to connect to the internet via my PC's internet.
HotSync over bluetooth works successfully.
Computer specs: Toshiba P205-S6277; Bluetooth Stack v5.10.04 (currently using); Bluetooth Monitor v3.01 (to use Vista's built-in bluetooth)
I think I have narrowed my problem down to 3 things.
(1) Finding Network Access properties (to allow connected devices to access the internet)
(2) Finding Centro's Network Connection Type: PPP
(3) Finding the correct Login Script to use
for (1) I think I've looked everywhere; found nothing on Network Access.
Checked control panel: only Bluetooth Local COM
Right-clicked bluetooth icon > Settings: File transfer, PAN Networking, PAN DHCP server, AV controls. Other bluetooth settings are for file transfer or object push. I don't see anything like this.
I'm stumped on (2). It seems as if palm removed this option under Centro's Advanced network settings .
Nearly all the forums that I read says to choose Connection Type: PPP.
(3) Found 2 scripts that seemed would work. I don't know how it exactly works but it sounds workable.
First script:
Send: CLIENT
Send: CLIENT
Wait for: CLIENTSERVER
End:
Script 1 Connect Log:
=======================================
Connect Log
S: client
S: client
R:
Err: 0x121F <<<netErrUserCancel b/c I canceled it.
Not connected
========================================
I canceled it because the process would stay on "Signing In" then it automatically "Canceled" itself.
Second script:
Send CR:
Delay: 1
Send: CLIENT
Wait For: CLIENTSERVER
End
**UPDATE** I found on this forum (Reply # 3689) that the script is needed only if you are using Palm OS 4 or under. Centro uses Palm OS 5.49121. Can anyone support this?
Even without the script it has problems "Signing In".
I'm currently reading this site and trying out its decribed methods. I will update this thread when I get the results.
I'm using the Centro. And If anyone's been able to successfully connect to the internet on the Centro via a bluetooth connection to the PC WITHOUT 3rd party applications, please share. If not, please share any ideas.
Thanks!
-Eric

I've been going at this for days, and have probably exhausted all the proposed solutions on the first 3 pages of various google searches. I'm getting the feeling that Vista users are pretty much SOL for the time being.
For the record, I just tried out a few of the solutions (mRouter & SoftickPPP) on XP and they work perfectly.

Connecting Widows7/x64 to the Internet via E52

I have a problem with connecting Win7/x64 notebook to the internet via my E52: agent software embedded in last firmware (052.003) set up, but hung and does not see the phone

I am having trouble connecting to my in-home internet via wireless router. It says it is connected, but when I try to open email, no connection is found. This also occurs for Safari and Facebook. I am connected by Charter Cable.

I am having trouble connecting to my in-home internet via my wireless router. The IPad says I'm connected to the router, but I am unable to receive email, Facebook and Safari. I run through Charter Cable. This only occurs on my IPad. My desktop works fine.

Although it may ultimately be necessary to perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme and start over with a new configution, we can first try to see if things will work with the existing settings on the device.
Push the reset button (if present) on the cable modem
Power off the modem by pulling the power cable
Remove the internal battery from the modem (if easily accessible)
Power off the AirPort Extreme and every other device on the network....order is not important
Wait at least 20 minutes....longer is better
Re-install the battery in the modem if it was removed previously
Make sure that the Ethernet cable from the modem is connected to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the AirPort Extreme
Power up the modem and let it run 4-5 minutes buy itself
Power up the AirPort Extreme and let it run 4-5 minutes
Then power up each other network device one at a time about a minute apart
Check for a good Internet connection on the network with all devices
If still no luck, you will need to perfom a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme as follows:
Pull the power plug from the back of the AirPort Extreme
Hold in the reset button and keep holding it another 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back in to the AirPort Extreme
Release the reset button and allow 25-30 seconds for the AirPort Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
Then open AirPort Utility end reconfigure the AirPort Express again.

Cannot Connect Beige G3 To The Internet With D-Link DGL-4300 Router

Hiya Folks,
I cannot connect my Beige G3 Desktop to the Internet using a D-Link DGL-4300 Router.
When the Computer is connected directly to the cable modem, I can get out onto the net.
I called D-Link and of course the were of no help.
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks
Dennis

I explained it in a previous post. Did you read it?
You need to run two programs before you can log on in old school OS9.
Both programs are located in your Utilities folder which should be in your OS9 Applications folder.
The utilities folder is at the bottom of the OS 9 Applications folder.
When you open the Utilities folder, you should see another folder called Assistants.
Run the Mac OS Setup Assistant while connected to your router.
Fill everything out correctly. It should take you directly to the screen that says "would you like to set up your Internet Connection?" Click yes, and follow the instructions.
Do this and tell me what it says.
If you do not have the "Assistants" folder in your "Utilities" folder, then your OS9 software was not installed correctly, or when installed, you had no internet connection available so the installer skipped some files.

What adapter do i need to connect my computer to the internet

I am woundering what adapter i need to plug into my computer so that i can plug my computer directly into the wall and use the internet using a ethernet cord. I am not wanting to use wify for that does work great. I have to plug my computer directly into the internet using an ethernet cable unfornately the new mac pros do not come with and ethernet port. I am wanting to do this because of 3D gaming they say that i can not use wify to play that particular game but have to be connected directly. I do how ever have thunderbolt port actually two. I also have usb 3.0 the mac store says that i need a thunder bolt ethernet adapter but which one i need to buy. I have been reading alot on those adapters and they say that the adapter is Giabit ethernet adapter will that work with normal internet speeds or is that cable just for a gigabit Network it is hard to understand all the details and what is going to work... I have also heard that the thunderbolt is faster but what the thunder bolt is used for is to connect a display or is it used also to connect to the internet directly. any help on this would be great.. My question again is what adapter do i need to hook my computer directly to the internet?

You need the Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD463ZM/A/thunderbolt-to-gigabit-ethernet-adap ter
Thunderbolt is a video, audio and data port, so you can use it to connect external displays, external drives or different adapters to connect a display or connect the Mac to the Internet. In the case of Ethernet, you won't notice the Thunderbolt speed, as it's more for external disks

Connecting a desktop computer to the Internet via the Mobile Hotspot?

Hello,
I've looked at the other postings about this but I'm still not having any luck....and I'm not really sure who to call for tech support.
I can connect my laptop to the Hotspot just fine. The desktop computer is another story.
I bought a Medialink wireless adapter and installed it per the provided directions BUT the connection says that is local only. How do I fix that?
I don't know for sure a local connection only doesn't allow me to actually connect to the Internet, right? I currently also have AT&T Internet with a router so is that complicating things? I'm going to drop the AT&T soon but I'd like to have this figured out first.
What do I need to do?
I have absolutely no idea.....
THANK YOU!

A local only connection means you are connected to the device, but the device is not letting you onto the internet. I'd bet that you have a bogus IP Address and your hotspot has not fully authenticated you to use its internet.
Make sure you are disconnected from all networks, reboot the computer and hotspot, then try connecting again. Make sure you are entering the correct credentials to connect to the hotspot.
Chances are good that the wireless adapter that you are using is the problem here. If you were going to contact a support number I would start with them. There might be another way to configure it to play nicely with the Hotspot. Report back to us if you need more help configuring the hotspot. We will need to know the specific model number so that we can provide you with specific steps.

Cannot connect 2 macbooks to the internet through AEBS?

Hi,
I have 2 Macbooks, Airport Extreme Base Station & a 320T D-link router. My ISP is plusnet who uses PPPoA settings on the d-link router. So i have set the router up and when i connect it to the Macbooks directly via ethernet i can access the internet. But once i connect the d-link router to my AEBS i cannot connect to the internet? Both Macbooks can see the base station but they cannot access the basestation. If i put the base station in bridge mode the light will go green and one can connect to the internet but obviously i want both to connect! I am unable to put the d-link router in bridge mode as my ISP does not support this as the router will only work on the PPPoA settings to retrieve the IP's etc from Plusnet. I have spent countless hours on the phone to apple and changing settings but to no success. I have spent more money to buy the d-link router as i had a netgear D111MP router previously but i read that it was a poor product to go with the AEBS. So the issue does not lie with the router?
If anyone can help i would appreciate it so much as this has become so frustrating!
Many thanks!!

Thanks Duanne, problem is that i have bought the netgear DM111P and the d-link 320T and found out that they cannot work for some reason. So i have spent £70 on both modems/routers plus the £119 on the AEBS. It's just a bit annoying when i have spent a lot of time and money on something which i was hoping would be as simple to set up as all the other apple products.
By the way i'm not having a go even though it sounds like it! The main thing on my mind is to get my AEBS working. Would it be possible to advise me on a router that will work well with my AEBS to solve this issue i am having? Also one that can use the PPPoA settings from my ISP? This would be greatly appreciated as i don't want to go out and buy another router and find out it doesn't work.
Also if i get a router that can do this what would be the setup of my AEBS?
Thank you for your time on this!

Want to connect MacBook Pro to the internet via ethernet cable for the first time?

I Plugg the cable for Ethernet> Then I type my IP adress> don't know what to type in these blanks:
Subnet Mask, Router
What DNS?
I want to plug the cable for Ethernet then see the internet work?
=

We cannot answer your questions.. and the method looks wrong.. why are you doing it manually.. just use dhcp and see if it works.
There is hardly a modem or router out there that doesn't have dhcp setup for automatic setups.
If it is manual then there is no way we can give you the values..
They are determined 100% by the network you plug the computer into.. and the setting of that network.
Tell us more if you supply modem router.. and ISP info and why it is not working with dhcp we might be able to help further.
