Wireless-G Broad band Router Model wrt54g

Just bought a new lap top. I already have to computers at home that I have connected via the wireless router. Have been setup and working fine for years. Was told all I had to do was connect my laptop to the same network. Tried and it finds the linksyshome network but then asks me for a password or security phrase which I have no idea what it is. I tried using admin and it connects to the network but states I do not have inernet access with this connect because of security phrase. Is there anyway I can reset my security phrase to something I remember? Please answer in laymans terms because I dont understand alot about this whole process.

You must get into the settings of the router. If you have not set up a password for the router you can get into it by using the default password. First connect to the router with a wire. Once wired to the router then type in 192.168.1.1 into your web browser and it will prompt you for a user name and password. The default is blank for the username and admin for the password. Once in the web browser go to the wireless tab and security and setup the passphrase. Once you install the passphrase you can then logon to you network.
If you are unable to get into your router with the default password and you cant remember the password you put in at setup, then you can push the reset button for 30 seconds on the back of the router. Reboot, and this will restore everything to default. You will then have to repeat steps above and reset security, ssid and mac filtering.

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.

I have recently installed a WRT54G V8 Broad Band Router....

I have recently installed a WRT54G V8 Broad Band Router. It is supposed to have WPA2 security, however "My Network Settings" shows the security mode to be WPA. Firmware version is 8.00.2. Any suggestions on getting the WPA2 security mode would be appreciated.

Also, you may need updates on the PC side in order to use WPA2 encryption. The two links are to a strong password generator and WPA2 setup instructions (links to patches included).

hi...ideally , the PSP getting connected to the internet should not affect the desktop to lose the internet connection..
what u can do is ... access the router using http://192.168.1.1 .. keep the username blank and password as "admin" .. if u changed the password during the installation , u need to type that password ...
once on the ui...go to status tab and check the firmware version...
now, go to www.linksys.com/download and select the router model and version no. and check the latest firmware on it.. if the router is not having the latest firmware , upgrade it first..then reset the router and reconfigure it ...

Broad band router and upgrade

I have been with Bt for many years and I asked for a free up grade I am on Unltd b/band package and have had the router hub 3 for the last 4 years + and not sure why the will not upgrade me for free
I have stared to look round for asimmlar pacage and will need to look as money is not easy comming these days and with all the showing of Jan sales ?

If there is nothing wrong with your present homehub and it is doing everything you want it to do without problems I would be wary of upgrading. Have a look through the forums for problems with the homehub 4 & 5.
The only real "advantage" with the HH4 and 5 is they use AC technology and are dualband.
There is no point in going for a HH5 if you do not have Infinity. The HH4 does the same job but does not have the built in VDSL modem which the HH5 has for Infinity use.
If you re-contract you will probably be offered a HH4 for the cost of postage but if you don't re-contract they will only sell you one and in my opinion you could probably get a better third party router cheaper.

I have an older router model wrt54G

I recently added a wireless printer and now I can see the linksys signal , however none of my devices will link to the signal...

Are you getting an error message when you try to connect to the wireless network? Was this working before or did you just setup the router? It would be best if you start with the wired connection first. Connect a computer to the router and check if you are able to go online that way. If you cannot, then you need to configure the router to work with your internet service provider's line. If you can, then check the wireless settings and take note of the SSID and the wireless password.

Problem setting up model WRT54G

I am having difficulty in setting up my Wireless -G Broadband router model #WRT54G. I Have Comcast High-Speed Cable Internet. My internet connection times out after a few minutes and my connection is lost after a successful configuration of the router.

Try MAC address cloning, and see if this corrects your problem.

Model WRT54GS v.6 Acting Strange

I use a Wirless-G Broadband Router Model WRT54GS V.6
Well, I got it configured and everything for a DSL connection, and it connects normally. Then, it randomly just stops working and when I remove the Ethernet cable and blue plug from the router, it seems to be working again.
Now, when I put the connection back in, it does the same thing. The router's lights start blinking and on the computer it would have "Internet Connection Complete" then go to "Local Area Connection Unplugged" and it would keep going in that cycle.

Wireless-G Model WRT54GS V7 Firmware 7.50.0 - easylink Advisor 1.5.1044

I have a Wireless-G Model WRT54GS V7.50.0 Firmware for easylink Advisor 1.5.1044
Connected to a highspeed connection, and then connected (Hardwired in port 1 of router) to a Dell system running XP SP3.
I bought a new Laptop that is running Windows 7 and the laptop causes the connections to drop when it is powered on.
Then the laptop is always dropping the connection and re-establishing the connection. Is this problem because of windows 7?
If I do not bring the laptop up, i can run the desktop with no problem. Running WPA security mode.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
John

Is your Desktop computer is a Wired or Wireless? Are you facing the problem only on your Windows 7 Computer or on all the wireless computers?
You can try to change the Wireless Settings on your Router and check if that makes any difference...
Login to the setup page of your Router and click on the Wireless tab.... and below change the Wireless Channel to 11-2.462GHz and click on Save settings.... Then click on the Sub tab "Advance Wireless Settings" and below Change the Beacon Interval to 50 .....Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2307 ....Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

Can't use my HP Deskjet F4580 Wireless Printer with the AirPort Extreme Base. The printer is NOT connected at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme, and is placed in another room. It worked just fine with my previous router (Linksys WRT54G). Help me!

Hey Guys!
I just got my AirPort Extreme Base, but I can't use my HP Deskjet F4580 wireless printer with it.
The printer is not connected to the AirPort Extreme's USB port. It is placed in another room, and I'd like to use it (the printer) wirelessly (not connected to the USB port os the AirPort Extreme), as I used to. There is no place for the printer close the AirPort Extreme. It worked just fine with my previous wireless router (Linksys WRT54G). I'm very disappointed with the AirPort Extreme Base Station because of that!...
Can you help me? Please?!
Thanks Folks!

This must be a tough one, no suggestions at all.

Wireless Expander WRE54G and Dual Band router WRT610N

I used to have a band G-type network with a Linksys Router and a Wireless Expander WRE54G. It worked fine.
Now I have a WRT610 N Dual Band router. I am trying to connect the WRE54G to the netowrk (using the G-band of course) but it doesn't work. Runnig the Setup utility from the CD (og the Range Expander) ends in a "Site survey" which terminates with an error "Site survey fail". Maybe the installation program is not able to handle the WRT610N.
Any suggestions?

Press and hold the reset button on WRE for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your Expander, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...
Connect your Expander to a computer, click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>> Network Connections - Right click on the icon for Local area connection and go to properties- On the 'General' tab select 'Internet Protocol TCP/IP' and click on the Properties button- Select 'Use the following IP address'- Provide IP Address - 192.168.1.5, Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0...Click on Ok button to Save and Click on "Close" on main Properties window...
Now open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.240. Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...It should open your Expander set-up...
Once you get to the set-up page,change the Expander Settings...While changing the Expander settings you have to make sure that the Wireless Settings(SSID/Network Name and WEP/WPA Key) are identical on both the devices(Router and Expander)...Also make sure to change the Expander's default IP to match your network and Gateway Address should be your Router's address...ex.Expander's IP Address : 192.168.1.240(assuming your router's default IP Address is 192.168.1.1),Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1...
After configuring the Expander you should disconnect it from the Computer and go into Local Area Connection TCP/IP Properties and set it back to Obtain IP Address Automatically...Disconnect the Expander from the computer and power cycle both the devices(Expander and Router) ...Your Expander should be configured...

NetGear N600 Wireless Dual Band Router WNDR 3400

Hi all,
My neighbor and I (Sarah) both live on the second floor of a circa 1820 house.
Wi-fi is included in our rent.
Neither of us can connect to the house's NetGear N600 Wireless Dual Band Router (which is on the first floor) with our MacBooks (both purchased new earlier this year and both running Mac OS 10.7).
We can connect to the network with our iPhones, iPads and Windows Notebooks.
But when we try to connect with our MacBooks, we get a connection timeout error.
Any help would be mucho appreciated.
Mike

This is a part of the larger MacBook Pro connectivity issue. There are several related threads dealing with the MBP's networking problems. If your unit is suffering from this type of difficulty, good luck ... (or a long ethernet cable)
(PS Everybody please make noise on this one so apple comes up with a solution.)
