Wireless computer no ip wrt54g

for the past 5 days my wireless computer has been unable to connect to the internet. My router settings are fine and my wired pc and still connect to the net. But my wireless pc wont pull an ip. Ive done everything that I know to do but I cant get it to work. Some pro help would be great seeing as the wife and kids are not allowed on my uber gaming machine lol.

First of all, 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 set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
Poor/No wireless connections are often caused by radio interference from other 2.4 GHz devices. This includes wireless phones, wireless baby monitors, microwave ovens, wireless mice and keyboards, wireless speakers, and your neighbor's wireless network. In rare cases, Bluetooth devices can interfere. Even some 5+ GHz phones also use the 2.4 Ghz band. Unplug these devices, and see if that corrects your problem.
In your router, try a different channel. There are 11 channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Usually channel 1, 6, or 11 works best. Check out your neighbors, and see what channel they are using. Because the channels overlap one another, try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors. For example, if you have a strong neighbor on channel 9, try any channel 1 through 4.
Also, try to locate the router about 4 to 6 feet above the floor, in an open area. Do not locate it behind your monitor or near other computer equipment or speakers. The antenna (if external) should be vertical.
Also, in the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. If your current network is not listed, enter its info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings".
If the above does not fix your problem, download and install the latest driver for your wireless card.

WRT54G no internet conn through wireless computer

Hi, I own 2 computers.One is plugged straight in to the router, the other is wireless. All was fine until i either uninstalled somthing on my wireless computer (not sure). I pressed the button on the left of the router until it blinked white then let it search for wireless connection. It found the computer but when I look at the connection it says Im connected to the router but not to the internet. The Cisco systems button is solid white now and I beleive it used to be orange. My wired computer connects fine. The wireless computer has an X saying no network conn. I dont know if its the router or computer. I did a run, cmd, ipconfig and it says somthing like no media or somthing and doesnt give me an IP address. I think this where Im having my trouble but dont know how to fix it. I cant release and re assign an adress. It wont let me. Please help
Mick

The problem was DUE to you accidentally pressing the CISCO button. That is actually called the SES button whose function is create a randomly generated wireless network with a randomly generated wireless password or key... if this is white... this means it's active and that your previous wireless network name and settings whatever they were, are gone and replaced with randomly generated ones.
Solution here can be using a PC hardwired to the router and with this PC, edit the newly made wireless settings back into your previous wireless settings. To do that, open up internet explorer and type on the address bar the numbers 192.168.1.1 (username just leave it blank, password as a default is admin)... then go to the wireless tab and edit all the necessary settings there...

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.

Your question makes no sense. You "connect" an iOS device to iTunes on your computer via WiFi or by using the supplied cable.

My wireless computer unable to print to hardwired hp officejet pro 8500a plus

My wireless computer is running window Vista home.
1. I have tried to print from several programs and have resulted in a print error in the printer que.
2. I have gone into the printer properties and verified the correct IP address and driver are installed.
3. Attempted to send a test page from the properties window, same result.
4. Uninstalled and Reinstalled the printer software and drivers from the CD. It prints one time than, same results.
5. The printer is directly connected the wireless router and is connected the the HP service. I am able to email the print job and have it print, but I want the printer to print over the network not the internet.

WVC200 v1.2 - Successful Wireless & DynDNS Setup with WRT54G v.6 Router

I would just like to report that after hours of tinkering, I managed to configure the camera to run wireless as well as link up with the dynDNS service. I thought I would post the method which worked for my WRT54g/WVC200 combo. Hopefully this will help anyone still stuck on setting it up.
You want to set everything up using wired connections exclusively until everything is working and you are ready to jump to wireless.
Reset your WRT54G router to factory default settings. If you can't access the admin page simply press the reset button on the back of the router and hold it down for about a minute (should reset to factory spec). I am using the latest firmware for each device (linksys phone support can help you with firmware if you don't have the latest stuff, or you can look for other threads on the topic).
Now that your router has a fresh install, unplug its power supply for now. Turn your attention to wiring. Make sure you have a powered-off PC connected to one of the ethernet ports on the router.
Power up your router first, giving it time to boot (usually under 30 seconds). Then power up your PC and pay a visit to your blank router at http://192.168.1.1 user:admin password:admin and leave your internet settings alone for now (they shouldnt affect your camera setup later as long as you have a typical dynamic IP internet connection)
In the first page for the router setup, make sure you use DHCP for the local network (I believe this is the default setting) and set a healthy DHCP user limit. *Apply/Save Settings*
In the wireless menu, broadcast on G-only, channel 6, assign an easy to remember SSID ("smithnetwork" etc) *Apply/Save Settings* . In the wireless security tab, choose WPA, TKIP, and type in a good passcode (strongest passwords are 10 or more randomly typed letters and numbers) *Apply/Save Settings*
Click on the Administration tab, set an equally strong password to access the router setup (can be the same as your wireless encryption passcode if its strong). Additionally, make sure UPnP and Remote Management are disabled, Wireless Management enabled. *Apply/Save Settings* (this should now prompt you for the password you just created in order to return to the router setup)
Go ahead and connect to your newly broadcasting network from a laptop wireless card etc. (which should still give you limited connectivity even if you haven't configured your internet settings yet) by going to http://192.168.1.1 in your browser like I said earlier. If you manage to get to the router menu then you know your wireless network is functioning at least to a certain degree. If you are stuck here, its probably not too complex of a problem for linksys phone tech support to get you back on track.
Note: If you have been tweaking camera settings prior to this attempt, you might want to turn it on without any network cables hooked up and try holding the reset button down (like we did to restore the router's factory settings earlier).
Now get your WVC200 camera and hook up the ethernet cable to one of the open ethernet ports on your router and the port on the camera. Plug in the camera's power supply. At this point, the camera should boot up, calibrate the servo motors, and attempt to join your router's LAN. If your camera does ANYTHING but connect to the network successfully and give you a local IP, you have a problem I haven't encountered and you should re-read the instructions or consider an RMA.
Default Local IPs (assuming each device joined the network in proper order)
Router: 192.168.1.1
Your ethernet-wired PC: 192.168.1.2
Your wirelessly connected laptop: 192.168.1.3
Your camera: 192.168.1.4 (this is what your camera should display on the LCD)
At this point you can confirm your camera is properly placed on the DHCP client table by getting into your router setup and clicking the status tab > local network > DHCP clients table. You should find your 3 devices connected, assigned the above IPs, and you should see the camera (named "WVC200" on the list). Again, if this is not the case for you using factory settings, I reccomend talking to linksys phone support or RMA the item.
Now close all your browsers and load a fresh internet explorer, navigating to the camera's local IP address (should be http://192.168.1.4 or whatever your client table listed). This is basically how you configured your WRT54g router earlier (even uses the same admin/admin login).
Once you're in the camera management page, click on the setup tab. Note the sub-menu that appears on the left side, click on "basic" and make sure camera name is WVC200, LCD/LED enabled, Daylight savings checked, NTP automatic server un-checked, make sure Automatic (DHCP) is set.
Wireless SSID "smithnetwork" or whatever you assigned it earlier in the router wireless setup, network type: infrastructure. *Apply/Save Settings*
In the same Setup > Basic menu, at the very bottom of the page should be the wireless security settings ( default should be "disabled" ). Click the "edit security settings" button, select WPA Personal, it should be on the TKIP algorithm, and don't forget to enter the wireless WPA password you created earlier on the router. *Apply/Save Settings* also: click *Apply/Save Settings* on the main page again too just to be sure it applied. The security settings should now display when you reload the page.
While we are in setup, click on the "users" link to the left, replace the default administrator login with your own custom one, making sure to check the "enable authentication" box. *Apply/Save Settings*
At this point, you should have your WVC200 fully configured and broadcasting video on the wired LAN, if this is not the case, I would have no clue why it wouldn't work with the same equipment and method and you are out of luck.
Now, for the moment of truth! You should have your router right next to you with wireless ready to go (you tested this earlier) and the camera antenna installed on your WVC200. Unplug the power from the camera, unplug the ethernet cable that connects the router and camera to one another, and plug the power back into the camera. After the lens calibrates and stops moving, the wireless LED should light up and probably start flickering as it negotiates a connection with your router. It should find your network and display an IP fairly quick (probably 192.168.1.4 default). If it takes longer than 15 seconds youre probably out of luck and should double-check everything in this post and move on to a different post if it still doesn't work.
I used to spend hours at this point, wondering why it wouldn't join my perfectly functional wireless network. It would try to connect to the wireless network for about 5 minutes, it would appear to successfully connect sometimes, but it would display the incorrect local IP address and would refuse to function regardless of its self-proclaimed connectivity. I learned that the router's WPA2 encryption was overpowering the puny WPA + TKIP on the camera even though I was using AES/TKIP combo on the router (which was supposed to make the router compatible with original WPA + TKIP devices while still letting you use WPA2). Maybe Linksys can include a fix for this in future router/camera firmware.
To make sure the wireless is functioning properly, open up an internet explorer window and try connecting to camera management page again (http://192.168.1.4 by default) while your camera still has no ethernet cable hooked up to it. Check to make sure you can see video etc. I never experienced signal problems like other users did. This combination of router/camera worked well (-21 dB with it sitting next to the router, -39dB in the other room)
DynDNS Service setup:
I basically figured out that while the DNS features on the camera might be useful to some, its still buggy and there is a MUCH more powerful dynDNS feature on the WRT54g router itself. Navigate to your router (default: http://192.168.1.1 ) like you did earlier and get into the setup page. Click the "DDNS" menu and select the dyndns.org, enter your username, password, and domain name. I am assuming you already have a free dyndns account created or would otherwise have no issue setting up an account with them, so I won't cover that in my post. By clicking *Apply/Save Settings* assuming you configured your internet access through the router like you always did, the router should ask your cable/DSL modem what its WAN IP is and display it (the dynamic internet IP address that was making life difficult for you). What's nice about the router handling this task is that the router is usually first to know when the modem changes the IP (therefore it will immediately log in for you and update the dynDNS).
**Important** This camera uses port 80 by default, so while youre still logged into the router managment page, click on the "Applications & Gaming" menu and type an application name like "linksys" , start port 80, end port 80, TCP only, specify the camera's local DHCP address (default: 192.168.1.4) and don't forget to enable it by checking the box then *Apply/Save Settings*
I would allow at least several hours for the dynDNS servers to apply the changes before becoming concerned, but who knows maybe it will work right away for you. At this point, you should have plenty of functionality to play with the rest of the features of the camera, enjoy! I will post any additions/revisions if need be.

Hello -sloth !
Very easy understanding guide !
I have made all what you suggested.
But now I cannot add the camera in the monitor > setup page.
I can see the camera in the camera list WVC200.
IP 192.168.15.101
port 80
But when I press add, I get "connection fail".
Is the port still 80 - since the Channel is set to 6
I have done no port forwarding as other has suggested.
Checking with the browser at : 192.168.15.101
Page can't be found .....
The router says:
WVC200 192.168.15.101 LAN 00:18:39:35:6A:13 23:24:26
The camera displays the same ip .......
The router setup page : Local IP 192.168.15.1
IP Address Range : 192.168.15. 100 to 149
I have made a system restore, and installed the camera sw again.
If I unplug the lan and turn to wireless the camera LCD display: 192.168.1.115 DHCP
But that page cannot be found ......

Thanks for your help.
First of all you need ot find out if your landlord allows you to connect to their network. Is it part of your rental agreement? Do you need a password? Do you need to pay extra for access? Do you need a password from them? As another poster points out your iMac has Wi-Fi built in. All you need to do is turn it on. Open System Preferences -> Network -> Wi-Fi and turn it on. Your apartment's wireless network should appear if it exists. If you need a password to connect you willget that from your aprtment manager IF it's incuded in your rent.
Somehow, though, I get the impression we're not talking about the same thing. Are you moving in with someone who already has the Internet and you want to use their wireless network?

Wireless Internet Issues with WRT54G.

I have the router and main computer set-up fine. Internet works great on the main computer which is wired to the router. My xbox 360 goes online and works fine as well. Now the computer upstairs has no problem connecting to the network shows 100% signal strength and gets an IP address. It just won't connect to the internet. I have worked on computers for a while and I am just baffled at this point. I've read through a bunch of similar issues on here and still don't have a fix on what's wrong. Help is greatly appreciated and my head would feel so much better when i get this figured out.

Mystery: Wired computer connected to E3000 invisible to wireless computer connections

I have a primary computer connected by Ethernet to a new E3000 router and 3 computers by wireless connections, with all computers on Windows 7. The primary computer has Windows 7, 64 bit. The issue is that the primary computer wired to the E3000 can see the wireless connections,  but none of the wireless computers can see it. Each of the 3 wireless computer can see the others, but none can see the primary computer connected to the router.   But the primary computer connected to the router does show all 4 computers in the network.
Additionally, all computers are in a Windows 7 Home Group.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Updating my previous post, I stumbled upon the solution to my problem.  In working with Home Group, I discovered that if the files or folders are not setup properly to share, then the computer will not be seen in the Home Group or Network Folders.
So, I had to right-click on the folders I wanted to share and select the 'Share with' option, which opens a list of sharing options to choose.   This action completed makes all of the computers visible in the Home Group and Network folders.
This is a little tricky step with Home Group.  During the initial setup of a Home Group, choices of what to share are made then too.  But it does not work until the actual assignment of files or folders is made, as described above.
It was a great learning experience, and now works perfectly. Thanks for helping to gain insight.

How to set up a password or security using wireless g broadband router wrt54g

Hello Everyone I have had my router for a while and a friend mentioned I should password protect my connection so other people can't lech off of my wireless connection. My roter is installed and connected to my main office computer and I only bought it so i could use my laptop around the house. Everytime I go to profile then secuirty settings and try to imput any password and hit ok. Well after I connect to my wireless profile it comes up with my router has no secuirty turned on at this point. Yet I read from many sites that my router which is model wrt54g has secuirty features. Could someone please help me figure out how to password protect my wireless connection. THank you

Hit there exiledone1!
If there'd be any computer which is working through the router, you could get into the router's User Interface without any problems then. You need to get to this page so that you'd be able to do necessary changes on it's wireless settings.
http://192.168.1.1 would be the address, type this on the Address Bar of your Internet Explorer browser or Mozilla Firefox browser. If you'll be prompted for a login page, simply leave the username blank (or don't write anything on it) and your password would be admin. You'll be able to see the Wireless Tab once you'll be inside the page and below the Wireless Tab would be subtabs and one of them is Wireless Security. Just click on Wireless Security and you can choose WPA for your Security Mode. Just type in anything right on the WPA Pre-shared key field and this will then serve as your wireless password (a.k.a network key). Just make sure the length of the key would not be less than the count of 8 characters.

Problem connecting wirelessly to the internet WRT54G

I'm having strange issues with my wrt54g router - as long as my computers are plugged into it through ethernet, I have no problem accessing the internet. However, I can't access the internet if I connect to the router using wireless (my computers can connect to the router itself wirelessly, just can't access the internet from it). I've had this router for a little under a year and it used to work fine. Then I stopped using it for a few months, forgot my password and had to hit the reset button when I wanted to set it back up again yesterday. I've tried connecting multiple computers to it wirelessly, including the old one that used to work with it, but none of them can access the internet.
I'm really not sure what could be wrong. Do I need to reinstall the router software that came with the router itself (though I'm not sure how this can help..)? Or is there some button/setting on the router that allows it to access the internet that I could have missed? I checked and wireless is enabled under wireless settings.
I'm running Vista on one computer and XP on another.

Connect the XP computer to the router at Ethernet Port ....
Reset the router for 20-30 seconds ....
Run the Disc for the setup wizard
Let me know if any other problem occurs...

Wireless Computer

Hi Guys.....I'm new to the forum so please be patient.I recently bought a new HP dv9000t that has a built in wireless card.Its the Intel/PRO 3495 a/b/g.I purchased the LINKSYS WRT54G router and have it hooked up correctly to my desktop.All the lights on the front are lit (internet,eathernet 1,WLAN and power) the wireless card in the computer is tuened on.However when I check it it says that the wireless isnt active.All my connections are good because the laptop gos online with a wired connection.I am running Windows Vista Ultimate and I dont know how to get to the window that tells me to add the key needed I guess so the computer is recognized on the network.
PLEASE help....I have spent hours on this trying to figure it out and I'm really frustrated.
~Bob

access the router using http://192.168.1.1 . Type the password and logon....go to the "wireless" tab and ensure that the wirelss network mode is "mixed"..., change the ssid , channel - 1 or 11....
