Verizon DSL problem with WRT54GS

I got my wireless router a while back. I was able to make it run with my Time Warner cable box perfectly. However, we now have Verizon DSL. The dsl works fine with the desktop computer, but when I try to connect the dsl modem to my wireless router and then to the desktop, it doesn't work. The laptop and desktop can neither pick up the internet signal. How can I configure the router to work with my verizon dsl? Service: Verizon dsl. Modem: Model 6100. Desktop: Compaq Presario 6000. Windows XP. Laptop: Acer Aspire 5570. Windows Vista. Wireless router: WRT54GS

try following the steps as below :
1)connect the computer to the router's port#1
2)reset the router for 30 seconds and do a power cycle
3)access the router using http://192.168.1.1 . the default password is admin
4)change the router's local ip add to 192.168.2.1
5)connect the modem to the router's internet port .. do a power cycle
6)access the router using http://192.168.2.1
7)go to the "status" tab and check whether there is any internet ip add
8)if there is one , try going online
9)if the internet ip add is 0.0.0.0 , go to the "setup" tab and change the "internet connection type" to PPPoE . enter the username and password provided by the ISP
10)go to the "status" tab and ensure that the connection status is connected and it has a valid internet ip add

Problems with WRT54G and Call of Duty 4 hosts....XBOX360

I have a WRT54G wireless router and an xbox360 hooked up wirelessly to it using the wireless adapter made my microsoft for the 360. The problem is that it is nearly impossible for me to connect to ANY host at all. My internet works fine and I dont have this problem with other games.

Thank you for the help in advance.

Check the firmware of the router ... if possible upgrade the firmware .... Also try to forward the ports on the router setup page ..

Network cable unplugged problem with WRT54G

I just got a WRT54G wireless router recently, and experienced some problems with it. There are 5 notebooks in my network using wireless card and 2 PCs connect to the router through cables. The router is with ver 7.00.1 firmware.
The router is working fine, the problem is sometimes it will show "Network cable unplugged" on my PC, and the whole network will be interruptted, the network will be resumed in few seconds and all machines need to get IP from the DHCP server again. It's quite annoying to be disconnected from middle of the work. I don't know what is the cause, seems like the router is re-reading it's configuration. I have tried to refresh the fireware but with no luck. Someone else got this problem before? anyone has a solution for this? Thanks a lot!
Regards,
Leo

Try the following tips to resolve your problem:
Disable the Ethernet network adapter if you are not using it. This applies, for example, when running a WiFi home network with computers that have built-in Ethernet adapters. To disable the adapter, double-click the small Network Cable Unplugged error window and choose the Disable option.
Check both ends of the Ethernet cable connected to the adapter to ensure they are not loose.
Replace the Ethernet cable with a different one to verify the cable is not damaged.
Update the network adapter driver software from the manufacturer's Web site.
Change the Link Speed and Duplex settings (using Device Manager) to use "100 Mbps Full Duplex" or "10 Mbps Full Duplex" instead of Auto Detect.
Replace the Ethernet network adapter
Good Luck,

Problems with WRT54GS and EasyLink after adding Comcast Digital Voice.

I had a working network. Cable modem (Comcast), WRT54GS, 2 wired PCs (one XP/SP3, one Vista Home Edition SP1), 2 wireless laptop PCs (one XP/SP3, one Vista Home Edition SP1) and a HP OfficeJet 7210 printer (connected to WRT54GS as network printer). Everything was fine and worked.
Then, I added Comcast Digital Voice. Obviously, they switched the cable modem for a new cable modem with the phone service option. Now, I can't print to the OfficeJet from the wired Vista PC, and EasyLink displays "initializing" for as long as I'll wait (5+ minutes).
I finally have to kill EasyLink from the TaskManager. Any help or ideas appreciated!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I solved the problem. It turns out the new cable modem and problem with EasyLink initializing were "red herrings".
The problem turned out to be a classic network problem! The hard-wired Vista PC had the wrong IP address. The wireless XP PC had the printer configured by network name instead of network (i.e. IP) address.
When I deleted the printer on the Vista PC and re-added it with the correct address everything worked fine.
Apparently the printer got a new IP address from the server on the WRT54GS after the installation of the new modem. Also, it looks like Vista doesn't report a communication error for a network printer, but does for a USB direct connect.

Problems with WRT54G

this is my problem i have the wire from my modom to my router the internet light is on i have a cable hooked in to the back of the linksys router in the #1 port, the cable in #1 port is then hooked to my desktop pc . i have a WLAN light on . ok know for the fun part i get a great signal on my laptop so it is seeing the router but will not connect to the internet.i have tried everything i can think of and then everything some websites have said but nothing works so can you tell me what you think is the problem or if it is operater error

I have the same problem with a slight difference - my desktop is connected to the WRT54G through a LinkSys WUSB54GC Adapter - it runs fine. I have the same problem with a laptop - it can see the router but cannot connect to the internet. I turned of security settings on the laptop, and have defined a unique SSID. The laptop continues to see the router but not the internet! The laptop has been able to successfully connect to a number of different wireless routers. I have tried every logical router setting to see if the laptop can see the internet and nothing helps. I restored to factory settings before I defined the new SSID. Help!!!

Big problem with WRT54G ver.6

I get home after purchasing this router, I start to hook it up exactly as it said to do, and the ethernet light on my modem i suddenly blank...even though it was flashing a second before. After 20 mins it finally comes back on out of nowhere. However, I am unable to do anything because I have still had the constant problem of my router's power light flashing yellow over and over and not stopping. I have tried everything I can think of and it just keeps flashing, and my computer is unable to detect it.
If its needed I use Verizon DSL and have a Westell WireSpeed modem.

I tried the easylink, however it fails to do any good because it still fails to detect the router despite anything I do. The power light flashes nonstop regardless of what I do, all eithernet ports and the internet one are constantly on, but the WLAN never lights up.(the internet ones are on even if no ethernet cables are connected.

Problems with wrt54gs v. 06

I keep losing internet acess on all computers with this router. Now when I hook my old router back up that is a linksys b router it works fine but then i hook the g router back up no internet. I have did the powercycle and it didn't work. I notice the G routers been having this problem.

Ok it keeps disconnecting from my the computer its hooked up too. And I updated the firemware it stayed on for one day. Then i powered up the computer the next day it wouldn't work. and this is all the computer the wired one and the wireless ones (I have a laptop and another desk top connected wirelessly). It just annoying that I have to keep hooking up the b router cause the g one keeps cutting off. I have Windows XP on all the computers. I got the Usb adaptor on the desktop and My dell has the Intel Pro Wireless 2200 b/g card. once I get connection on my computer that has the router hooked up to it I have no problems with the wireless ones.

Connection Problems with WRT54G V6

Hey Guys,
This is the problem that im faced with.
For the last few weeks my router has been having problems with the internet connection. For some reason there is no internet connection everytime i turn my computer back on after a session. To resolve this problem i perform a factory resest and then unplug my modem from it's power source leave it for 30 seconds and then connect it again... and this seems to work all and good for that period i use the computer for. But when i turn the computer back on the next day the internet connection is lost.The modem im using is a Motorola SB5100
Anyone got any ideas on how to resolve this?
Thanks

You need to upgrade your router's firmware, reset it and re-configure it...
Download 1.59 MB Firmware...
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device: -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
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...

Problem with WRT54G and DSL NAT router

I have a WRT54G connected to a Westell DSL NAT router. I would like to be able to allow incoming connections to my FreeBSD server.
The Westell router allows me to set IP Passthrough (they call it "Single Static IP"). This gives the WRT54G the outside IP address given to the DSL router. I can then set up the WRT54G for DDNS and port forwarding to forward specific ports I want to my server.
This works, for about 2-3 days. Then, I start to randomly lose outside connectivity. Web pages start coming up with missing elements, or taking a long time to load. This will eventually lead to total loss of outgoing communication.
Normally, I would blame this on the Westell NAT router, but as I'm losing connectivity to the internet, I'm also losing connectivity to the WRT54G. It will try to load configuration pages but will be slow with missing elements, etc.
All communications between computers on my inside network continue to function properly, it's just connectivity to the WRT54G and the internet that seem to start to fail.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on? I just upgraded the firmware on the WRT54G from 1.01.1 to 1.02.0, but I don't imagine this will help.
Thanks,
David Chamberlain

Try setting the MTU to manual and change the value to 1450

SMTP password problem with WRT54G or WRV200

I have a problem sending email in that the SMTP password cannot be successfully sent. I have found that if the router is rebooted, email can be sent for maybe 10 minutes. After that time, the password is refused no matter how many times it is tried. I have tried Thunderbird and Apple Mail as the email client and they both behave the same. I have tried 2 different routers, the WRT54G and WRV200 and they behave the same. I have connected my computer directly to the modem and email can be sent successfully all the time. I am on SBC/AT&T DSL service - it's Yahoo email servers. My computer is a Mac running OX X v10.5 (Leopard). I normally use Thunderbird as my email client and it has worked for some time.

ISP is SBC/AT&T DSL. The email servers are on Yahoo. I am not sure of the question about private/public address of the router. The IP address of the router is assigned by SBC/AT&T - I guess that's public. The firmware of the WRT54G is the latest from your website. I don't really have a Windows computer to give a verdict on whether it happens there. I have tried using the Apple Mail application and it behaves in the same way as the Thunderbird client. Email sending is normal for about 10 minutes after booting the router and then after 10 minutes the sending of the SMTP password fails. Rebooting the router will get you another 10 minutes of successful email sending. As I described bnefore: If I take the router out of my network and connect my computer directly to the DSL modem, then email can be sent at any time. The computer is logging onto the SBC/AT&T network PPPoE with no router involved. Of course, I do not have to change any settings in my email client for this experiment. This proves to me that the email client is working and configured correctly. Keep in mind that this email client has been working correctly for some time (years) in this configuration. I am always able to receive email from the POP server. Message Edited by darowa on 03-16-2008 02:28 PM

Online Games Problems With WRT54G Router

Hi There ppl,
I have a Lan House with 50 comps working, and most of my costumers are looking for online games entertainment (Cabal Online, Ragnarok, Dota, CS, 9 Dragon etc). We have an 8 Gb DSL connection and another one of the same speed for back-up (not running simultaneously at the moment). We should be having outstanding results for online gamming (and we were before installing the new router) but we are having several problems since we install a new LinkSys WRT54G router here. Our physical configuration is the modem, followed by the router, than three DLink Switches(24 ports) and my main computer. Everything cable
What we noticed is that the Internet connection looks normal (even using the command "ping", nothing strange appears, no timed out at all!) but online games (specially the above mentioned) have an intermitent connection. (Some times they connect, some dont)... Looks like it happens usually when I have the house crowded, but already showed also with it empty.
Another issue is that I am using the LinkSys Advisor to help identifying this problem, but I am getting even more confused, because its giving new information each time I refresh the "my network" window. Also happens when showing "My Network Settings" on the Support Tab.
Im using Firmware 8.00.0, what I think is the newest.
I didnt try any forwarding port issue yet, as I would like to receive more information about it (never needed to configure anything related before). Concerning the MTU value I already tryed withou any significantly result.
Please If anyone had the same problem, or have any idea of other possible tests, i would appreciate a lot.
Thank you and have a great day all

Hi there Helm,
Tks for your attention and reply to my issue!! Yesterday right after posting here (when we closed the doors and I could be able to work on it) I did get the latest one (8.00.2) and also set up manually the MTU value to 1500 (standard is automatic). I also unckeck the "anonymous internet request bock", "Multcast filter" and "Filter NAT forwarding", all of them were checked as standard. I also checked the "HTTPS Internet Access" (standard is only HTTP).
At a first moment I could get a very low sensitive better result (but the Lan was closed, so I had the entire 8Gb for my requests). I came back to work right now, and we have about 30 ppl in, mostly using the Internet, MSN and so... I am trying yo connect to Cabal Online, and GG-Esports (Warcraft, Dota) both of them giving the same problems as always... I am really getting tired and disapointed with LinkSys, I really though I would have much more than I am having right now.
Anyway I gonna keep trying each night to see what I cant get. I do post here If I find any solution (or if I really decided to move to another brand)
Thank you a lot and have a great night out there

File and Printer Sharing Problem with WRT54G

I am currently having problems sharing files over my network. My setup consists of:
3 laptops (wireless)
1 desktop (wired)
WRT54G V6.0 router with firmware version 1.00.9.
All of the computers have File and Printer Sharing enabled, unique names, and are on the same workgroup. However none of the computers can see one another. When I try to view workgroup computers for my network places, the explorer window stops responding for about 30 sec. and then spits out a dialog with the error:
"Workgroup is not accessable. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available."
I think that this problem has something to do with the router, as I have been successfuly sharing files and a printer with these settings using a microsoft 802.11b router for over a year. After purchasing the linksys and swapping it out with my old router, filesharing no longer functions.
I have spent a little time browsing the forums and have seen other posts from people with simmiler problems, but was unable to find any solutions.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

I'm having the same problems as you are, I have 2 computers on wired the other wireless the router is in between and I can't access from either side, although I can ping and remote connect but just cannot share files across the network. I have looked all over the forums too and there saying to ditch linksys and do something else.
Its not you thats caused this it is the firmware and the router that have the problems.
My Specs:
WRT-54G
v5.0
That new firmware update 1.00.9 just isn't working right. I might downgrade my fireware to fix this problem.

Verizon dsl issues with macbook pro

Hi there
We recently got Verizon high speed internet and it's (mostly) been working fine. We have a home network set up on various devices: 2 MacBooks, 3 iPhones, 1 iPad. The WiFi has been perfect on the smartphones and tablets, but there are two ongoing issues on the MacBooks:
1) on my laptop, the desktop Mail program (Mac Mail), which previously synced beautifully, has to be restarted each time to download email. If I don't restart, there is a little exclamation point thingy on the left, and I get a message saying something to do with cannot find imap.gmail something something. This is a consistent problem.
2) on my wife's laptop, Mail works fine, but (and this is odd) google does not. She cannot access google.com at all, unless she restarts her machine. Google doesn't work on either Safari or Firefox, but other google sites (such as google maps) work fine. We have tried clearing the cache but no change.
For both these problems we have tried restarting the modem/router but also no change. And as I say the internet works great on all other devices, it's just these funny little issues.
Any advice would be appreciated, and please not too much tech speak I am a novice.
Thanks.

Well, if you are on the road you could try to do this:
1. boot with the Alt key pressed
2. select the recovery drive
3. reinstall Lion
Hope you left a backup at home!
Good luck...

Problem with WRT54GS w/ SB

Okay, well, I am trying to hook up the WRT54GS Wireless-G Broadband Router With Speedbooster, but it just won't emit a signal nor send signal through wires. Also note that I am sending a signal to this through another wired router, a BEFVP41 EtherFast Cable/DSL VPN Router with 4-Port 10/100 Switch. I have no clue what would be wrong with it otherwise... does anyone have an idea as to what is going wrong?

have you tried to reset the router ? when you do an "ipconfig" in the command prompt what ip do you get? is it 192.168.1.xxx or 169.x.x.x ?
Try and reduce the NIC speed to 10Mbps half duplex and see if you can communicate with the router.IF this does not work, assign a static IP address to your PC and check if you are able to ping the router.
