Verizon DSL & WRT54G

Hi.
I have been attempting to connect my Verizon DSL service up to a Linksys WRT54G Wireless Router for my mother. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.  I have set up (and own) three of these wireless routers at my own apartment, and I've never run into this problem.
I followed all the directions to a T on the CD-rom that comes with the equipment, but I am still unable to connect. When it attempts to "Check Internet Connection," all lights are on an stable on both the DSL modem and the wireless router. After reaching the 100% check it states "Router is not able to connect to Internet. Try turning Cable/DSL modem OFF and ON again."
I have tried the turning off and on method, without any luck. Anyone out there know how I can fix this?
Thank you in advance!

connect to your router via ethernet and put 192.168.1.1 in the address bar of your browser, skip username and out admin in the password and look for the local IP address

  • WRT54G Wireless Router Installation With Verizon DSL in Windows 2000

    Okay, here's a question that I've got. I am trying to hook up a Linksys WRT54G router to a Verizon DSL connection that uses a Westell 6100 modem on a desktop running Windows 2000.
    Can someone please give me step-by-step instructions for changing configuration settings on the Westell 6100 modem and the Linksys WRT54G modem so I can get the router working?
    And don't suggest going to Linksys Technical Support, I've been on the phone with them for over 2 hours and neither one of the people I talked to was even listening to a word I was saying.

    You can follow these steps:
    Make sure you are online directly from modem
    Connect router, that is, connect modem to internet port on router, and one of the computer to one of the local ports on linksys router
    Login to router's setup by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name
    Change local ip address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.2.1
    Turn off modem and router
    After 1 or 2 minutes turn on modem, and another 1 or 2 minutes turn on router
    Now try to access internet, it will work

  • Verizon DSL and wrt54g

    Having problems installing my linksys wrt54g v8 router with my verizon DSL internet connection. On the step where the computer checks the internet connection I get an error message saying. Unable to detect internet connection or something like that. I tried going into command prompt and typing ipconfig/release and ipconfig/renew then ipconfig/all and tried again but still same message. I also tried powering down the modem and restarting it. And restarting the whole entire computer but it still isn't working. Was just wondering if anyone else is having a problem with verzion and linksys router. Also if you have experienced this problem how have you fixed it? Should I try setting up a static ip or would that just be a waste of time? If you have any other suggestions then please feel free to give me any and all information you can. I'm not a beginner on computers so I fully know what I'm doing though I'm not a complete expert so I'm a little stumped on this particular issue. Thanks for reading.
    Solved!

  • WRT54G v5/Verizon DSL setup

    Hey everyone I am somewhat new to networking and I have a question about install DSL on two computers. To start the upstairs computer is the main one and I have a usb cord going directly into a Westell 6100 router. I then have the ethernet cable from the computer running into the first port of the linksys router. Also I have another ethernet cable running from the westell 6100 router to the internet port on the linksys WRT54g v5 router. Also, no installation disk came with my router.  But anyways, now I turn both of those on and I have all the appropriate lights lit up on both routers. Now I have installed the Verizon DSL software on the upstairs computer and I have internet. My problem now is how to get a Linksys WMP54g desktop card the downstairs computer to pick up the signal from the upstairs computer. Also that downstairs computer is running Windows 98. When I go on the upstairs computer to the internet to type in the 192.168.1.1 it comes up as Westell instead of Linksys setup screen. I am stuck at this point and I was wondering if you guys can understand what my problem is and help me solve this. Thank you for your help in advance. If you have any questions or need a better explanation or diagram feel free to ask!

    Ok, so you have your westell 6100 router connected to your linksys router? Hmm... Well I can understand why your upstairs computer connects to your westell router instead of your linksys. You need to connect your computer to your linksys router to your computer to access that one instead of the other one. If you connect it to your westell then it will only pick up on that one, even though the westell is connected to the linksys. Also, how far away is the router to the wireless card? There is a certain distance you can go. But then again, I don't own a WRT54g v5 router... So I am not 100% sure. Your router may need to be setup first for the wireless, but I hope I was some use to you.

  • 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

  • Verizon DSL modem not connecting through Linksys wrt54g

    I recently switched to verizon DSL from comcast. The verizon modem when connected directly to the back of my mac works amazingly well. Now i was to be able to connect with my laptop and xbox360 wirelessly which was not a problem with comcast. So i take the Ethernet/Data/Modem cable(what ever you want to call it) from the modem and connect it to the INTERNET port on the back of the router. Then take another ETHERNET cable and connect it from the first WAN port to the back of my computer where the modem was originally directly connected. The routers internet light is on as is first ethernet light on the front of the router. And all three lights on the modem are on; internet, data, and dsl. The macintosh is now not able to connect to the internet. The laptop can connect to the network but not to the internet.(says local only) It seems like a lot of people have had this same problem but i have yet to see a solution. and again when i take the cord from the modem to the router and change it back to connecting the modem directly with the home computer (mac) the internet works fine. I know this seems very dumbed-down and a dumbed-down kind of answer is preferred. I have been fixing problems with our home network for years now and have never come across something that stumped me while the solution seems like it would be so simple.

    If you have Verizon DSL and you wish to configure your router and connect the XBOX360 wirelessly, then, first thing you should do is to fully bridge your modem, then connect your modem to the internet port of the router and configure your router's internet connection type to PPPoE...
    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...
    When the router’s web-based setup page appears, click Setup then look for Internet Connection Type and select PPPoE on the drop-down arrow.
    Enter the username and password that your ISP provided you in the User Name and Password fields, including the domain in the username if necessary such as [email protected] and CLick Save Settings.
    Click Status then look for Login Status and check it says Connected. If it’s connected, you should be able to access the Internet.
    NOTE: If the Login Status says Disconnected, click Connect, then check if you’re receiving an error message.
    If you get an error meaasge follow this link
    For xbox -
    Click on "Applications and Gaming" tab and then click on "Port Range Forwarding" subtab...
    1) On the first line in Application box type in ABC, in the start box type in 53 and End box type in 3074, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box, click Save Settings once done...
    2) Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...
    3) Click on set-up and change the MTU Size to 1452 and click Save Settings...
    4) Goto the XBox Network Settings and IP Address Settings and select manual IP Settings and assign the following on your Xbox
    IP Address :- 192.168.1.20, Subnet Mask :- 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway :- 192.168.1.1...
    5) Also assign the DNS Addresses on the Xbox
    Primary dns :- 4.2.2.2...Secondary dns :- 192.168.1.1
    6) Turn off your modem, router, and Xbox...Wait for a minute...
    7) Plug the modem power first, wait for another minute and plug the router power cable, wait another minute and turn on the Xbox and test it...it will connect...
    IP Address: 192.168.X.[last part of ip in your device]    e.g. if static ip given to the device was 192.168.X.10 get the last part and put that to the empty box.

  • Problems setting up Verizon DSL (DHCP) and AirPort Extreme

    I have Verizon DSL with DHCP and old router (Linksys WRT54G). I've bought iMac and new router (AirPort Extreme) to connect to iMac wirelessly. I have a Windows computer connected to the Linksys WRT54G. Now here is the story. I can connect verizon DSL modem (it's in bridge mode) to PC directly and connect to the Internet. When I plug AirPort between the DSL modem and PC, auto-configuration doesn't work, AirPort utility says there is problem with internet connection. Router simply can't obtain IP address from verizon's DHCP server. I've tried to copy DNS server addressed from the IP configuration in Windows, the AirPort light went green and Windows indicated connection as successful, however I still cound't browse the Internet because gateway is not set. Any ideas how to make AirPort connect to the internet using DHCP instead of manual settings? I can try to do it from the mac if needed, I don't think it would make any difference though.

    Welcome to the discussions!
    Sorry, I can't quite track exactly what you are trying to do.
    What would the network that you are trying to set up look like?
    Modem>AirPort Extreme>Computers? Are you saying that you won't be using the Linksys in the new setup?
    Sounds like you need to set the Airport Extreme up to supply PPPoE service (which the Linksys is doing now-if the modem is in bridge mode), but I will wait for your response before offering specific info.
    If you've been fiddling with settings, we may need to do a hard-reset on the AX to start over. You should not be fiddling with DNS, etc. Almost always, these settings are done automatically when you have the device set up correctly.

  • Linksys and Verizon DSL

    I have Verizon DSL and have been using a Netgear wireless router for years, but was going to install a Linksys WRT54G. It doesn't seem to get the DHCP address. I have another linksys router I was going to test with but that also doesn't work. My netgear products work fine straight out of the box...what's the deal with linksys!

    The resolution is to NOT use PPPoe at all. Verizon doesn't use it (at least in Oregon they don't).
    Set the local IP of your router to 192.168.2.1 so it doesn't conflict and cause a NAT loop with the modem. The modem's IP is of course, 192.168.1.1.The Modem will work in routed bridge mode. The power, lan,dsl and internet lights will all be ON.
    Protocol: Bridge
    Mode: Routed Bridge
    Router, set to DHCP/Automatic, don't worry about cloning the mac or any of that. The only thing you need to change on the router is it's local IP, to 192.168.2.1
    Reboot your PC, powercycle the modem and the router, and viola.

  • Verizon DSL - Frustrating Performance

    I've been using Verizon DSL for about 6 years now. For a while, service was sufficient, but for the last year I've had nothing but negative experiences with it. I've been experiencing slow speeds and frequent disconnects. I've called tech support numerous times only to get the typical responses that do not address the problem. "Have you tried restarting your computer? Have you tried restarting your modem? Have you tried restarting your router?" I've done all of these suggestions more times than I can count with 0 results. I'd love to switch my internet provider, but Verizon DSL is the fastest available internet in my area (sad). I wish Verizon would make an effort to help their customers, but with my current and past experiences I don't believe that is going to happen any time soon. For the past week I can barely use the internet. Websites load extremely slow. I can't play any online games because the latency is too high. I've even made sure the two computers in the household are not downloading anything when the internet drops out. I've tried using better DNS servers. Nothing has helped. Is there someone that could possibly help me? It doesn't seem like Verizon will.

  • WRT350N does not acquire DHCP IP from Verizon DSL

    The Verizon DSL service I use is an always on broadband connection. I am replacing a WRT54G with a WRT350N. The 54G would register an IP address while the 350N will not. Verizon techs tell me to clone the MAC address (which I do) but the router will not acquire an IP address.
    If I plug a NIC directly into the DSL model I acquire an IP address and can connect to the internet.
    Anyone else experiencing similar problems?

    what is the internet configuration type of your router right now? PPPoE? or DHCP?
    PPPoE : is an internet configuration type that requires the username and password for authentication
    DHCP : is a dynamic connection... it most of the times or sometimes requires a MAC clone for the router.
    Now, my question is, when it's set to PPPoE, what exactly is the messae that it's getting... pls. message me whenever you have read this...

  • Westell 6100 (Verizon) and WRT54G v5 Bridging Doesn't Work

    I have a Windows XP eMachines PC where I use Verizon DSL on, and there's no problem with that connection at all. For the past year, I've been trying to get networking to work on a WRT54G, first on a v4, then a v5, which I have currently. Nothing has worked, and I've tried over ten times.
    My most recent attempts were on June 10th 2007, where I spent over three hours talking to Verizon's technical support and toggling the modem and router's settings.
    I've already tried help from three different technical support employees at Verizon (on said recent attempt)--all three of which gave me the same instructions on the modem settings and the last of whom checked my modem settings via remote desktop and declared it was all correct. He eventually directed me to get help from Linksys.
    I'm not sure if it helps but the serial number for my Linksys router is CDFB0E805143. The firmware is the most recent.
    What happens when I try to get the router to work: After setting all of the modem's settings to the appropriate values and connecting it to the router, I set the router's settings to DCHP as Verizon's tech. support told me to. However, when I check the Status page, all IP listings are 0.0.0.0 and won't connect at all when "Connect" is pressed.
    I then have to System Restore everything to edit the modem's settings back to the default values in order to use the modem as I did before I tried linking it to the router. Without that, when I try 192.168.1.1 with the modem, it won't work anymore.

    First things being First, Connect the Modem directly to the Computer.
    If Online through the Westell DSL modem, check the IPADDRESS
    [ start - in ' start search ' field , type cmd, press return, you get a
    DOS Prompt - type ipconfig - check the IP Address for Ethernet LAN
    Connection ] and confirm whether it’s a Cable [ NAT Series ] or a DSL  -
    Presumably when you are using a Modem such as Westel 2200 or
    6100 Series, the IP Address will be of the range : 192.168.1.x.
    Under such a scenario, Connect the Modem  / Computer to the Router,
    Press the Reset on the Router for 5- 10 Seconds ;
    powercycle the Modem and the Router, Then need you have to log in
    to the Router's Setup Page [ Open a browser, type http://192.168.1.1
    in the Address bar of Internet Explorer ] It will prompt for Username
    and Password : Leave the Username blank and type admin as the
    Password ] and below Setup Tab, change it's Local IP Address to
    192.168.3.1 or 192.168.5.1 .Then After powercycling the Modem and
    the Router, You could connect the Computer to Port 1 or Port 2 , and
    check the Online Connectivity.
    It should work.
    * If you have a PPPoE Connection from the ISP, Get the Username
    and Password from them , which has to be configured on the Router.
    Recurring Issues with the Router could be fixed by Firmware Updates
    Revert Back in case of any Assistance . . .

  • Verizon dsl and linksys have same ip address

    i have verizon dsl ip address 192.168.1.1 and a linksys router wrt54gs and i cant get the two hooked up together.i was told to go to the linksys page by typing 192.168.1.1 but it takes me to verizon.what do ii do and how can i get my dsl moden set up wireless withe the linksys.ive called verizon and linksys and spent hrs on the phone and they cant figure it out.any help would be great.thanks.

    The back of your router will have ports where you can plugs cables into, just make sure your tower cable is connected to a regular port. the regular ports will be close together whereas the wan port (where you connect the dsl modem to is alone).
    So....you should have your tower connected to a regular port and the dsl modem cable is not connected to your modem.
    Hold the one of Windows key down ( the Windows logo key located to the left and right of the ALT keys) and hit the R key. A small window will pop up.
    Type cmd then click Ok
    A dos window will open, type Ipconfig /all and hit enter
    Look for Default Gateway and tell me what the IP address is.
    Also tell me what the IP Adress is.
    What I'm looking for here is, your IP address and the routers address (Default Gateway)

  • Airport Extreme Network - Changing from Verizon DSL to Fios (with TV)

    I am currently using Verizon DSL for internet access. My present network is stable with an Airport Extreme Base (New version) and two Airport Express running MDS for range extension, providing wireless access for a Macbook and a PC laptop (my wife's connection to her office/Exchange server via VPN). Two G4 desktop Macs are occasionally connected to the network. One AE provides network access to a shared printer. I routinely use Back to My Mac. The network also provides remote (internet) access to an old model iSight camera and to an inexpensive wireless camera which are served by Evocam software.
    I have ordered Verizon Fios bundled services (TV-Internet-Phone) for installation on October 18. The service make sense for many reasons, BUT! A multitude of posts on various boards are telling horror stories about setup problems and failure of certain services to work with Fios, particularly in newer installations that include TV.
    My question is this: Am I about to step into an inescapable swamp? Should I cancel the order.

    Yup, this is expected behavior.  What printer model? What operating system?

  • Silly question, maybe. I want to change from Verizon DSL to cable, but cable company doesn't supply router.  can I use my Airport Extreme as wireless router?

    We currently have the following wireless home-network configuration, powered by Verizon DSL. 
    2 macbook pro’s
    1 emachine
    HP PhotoSmart 6122 all-in-one printer
    Apple TV
    Apple Airport Extreme Base Port A 1408
    Westell 7500 router
    Thinking I’d get wider wireless coverage throughout my 2 bedroom home, I purchased the Airport Extreme. It is connected to the router via its sole usb port.  The result was only a tiny increase in speed, and no increase in coverage, so I don’t know why I have it.
    We now want to change from DSL to cable, thus ditching Verizon.  Our new cable provider supplies the cable box, but no router for wireless networking. 
    Here are my questions.
    Can I use the Airport Extreme (AE) as a wireless router? 
    If so, how should I hook it up?  Should the usb cable go from the AE to the cable box, and all the other devices connect wirelessly?
    If not, how should I be using the AE to some advantage?  What can I get out of the investment?
    Thank you very much for your help!  Beatriz

    What I wrote has nothing to do with what the cable company charges for their installation. And, usually they will help with the router setup even if you supply your own router. I don't know what they will charge for the modem.
    Note that you need to get just a modem. You don't want a modem/router combination. That will make using an AEBS effectively nearly impossible. You will need to ask specifically for just a standalone modem, and that you will supply your own router.

  • Help setting up wireless network with Verizon DSL

    I bought a MacBook Pro and an Air Port Extreme yesterday. I have an iMAC G5 from October 2004. I have Verizon DSL service and a Westell Series 6100 modem.
    Bottom line --> I can't get the wireless connection to work.
    I have successfully used a wired dsl connection with my iMAC G5. But, I tried to just disconnect the ethernet cable from my computer and put it into the Airport Extreme and that didn't work. I used the utility to set up the base station and the network, but I'm not sure if I did it properly.
    I know a PPPoE is involved but I'm not sure of how to configure the system properly. I'm also not sure if the problem is with the configuration of the AirPort extreme or with my Verizon modem.
    All I know is that I want to see a green light on that thing and not a flashing orange one.
    Does any one have some instructions for setting up your AirPort Extreme using Verizon DSL? Has anyone else had similar problems? Thanks in advance!
    MacBook Pro & iMAC G%   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Just finished solving this problem. I am not a strong tech guy, but I know that since it works for others it is just a question of poking and pushing. Anyway it was nine hours in the making...
    My snow airport working with an airport express had been bullet proof with verizon dsl for a couple of years. I wanted to upgrade since I am now Intel mac and hit the blinking amber light.
    I am only going to be able to give the big picture... The AEBS found and worked with all my computers from the beginning, so the problem became that the default IP Address and Subnet Mask were wrong and never automatically adjusted by the assistants.
    Take your working plug-in ethernet connections or the working snow connections from the Airport Utility Internet Connect page. I used the manual configure process to access the info screens.
    I copied all the numbers down, but I believe you only have to insert the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router Address and DNS servers. I put "dsl.verizon.net" in the domain search box.
    Go up to the IPv4 pull down menu and select manual and put in the numbers you copied. Then click Update. When the software returns control, the AEBS will still be orange.
    Toggle the IPv4 to "using DHCP" Click Update.
    This should bring the green light.
    I think I then updated the Network Preference Pane, probably had to manually put in my wireless password again. Browser and mail program worked.
    I think that was all. I may have had to repeat the toggle to make it stick, but I am operational for the last several hours, including the airport express, a G4 laptop and a Sony PC.
    Hope this helps.
