Wireless Problem, Router WRT54G Ver. 6

Hello,I recently i bought a Wireless WRT54G router so i could play my Xbox Live wirelessly. However, when I am playing on the Xbox I do not get internet on my computer (yes, the router is wired via ethernet to the computer). When I am on the computer the Xbox gets no signal. So what I am saying is I can only use the computer or the Xbox at once, not both at the same time. I have called Technical Support 2 times, and they told me to download the newest firmware, I did that and I am still having the same problems. I am decent with computers, like i usually fix my own computer stuff, but this one is really not making sense. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank You.

The Xbox web site does not list the WRT54G version 6 as being compatible with Xbox 360.   They do list versions 1, 2, and 3 of this router as being compatible.  Are you sure that version 6 works?
Also, have you power cycled your entire system (modem, router, Xbox and all computers) since the last changes were made.  If not, please do this, then retest.

  • Wireless Problems with WRT54GS Ver.4

    I have 3 computers in the house on a wireless connection and one wired. Just recently all 3 wireless connections are not working properly. The computer i use has not seen any problems it's connected directly to the router through a network cable. Without changing any of the settings on either the computers or the router they will not connect to the internet. They are all 3 connected tot he network but I am unable to connect to the internet on them, or create an internet connection.

    it internet add is not all 0's. The problem isn't with the wired connection. it's with all the wireless connections. I configured the connections to begin with and never had any problems outside of low signal strengh with any of the 3 connections. but just recently i can not connect to the internet on any wireless connection. None of the settings on the router or computers have changed since this problem has occured. I'm using the latest firmware. I've reset the router and still no change in the situation. all 3 computers using wireless connect to the network fine but when i try to setup an internet connection it doesn't add it into the "network connections" folder. I'll click "setup" under "connections" inside internet settings in IE, and click "connect to the internet" , "set up connection manually", "connect to a broadband connections that is always on" and "finish" uasually this is where the internet connection pops up in the "network connections" folder but nothing happens...?

  • HELP I have a wireless Linksys router WRT54G connected th...

    HELP I have a wireless Linksys router WRT54G connected through my cable company broadband modem on a Mac. I have another computer to which I installed wireless capability because it didn't come with it. This required attching some piece of equipment to the back of the PC which enabled it to get on the internet without another cable modem. My question is this. If I get an iphone or a laptop(with built in wireless ability) will I automatically be able to go on the web because of the router on the Mac.

    yes certainly... if you get any wireless device in network that would certainly connects to a wireless n/w of router...

  • Problem on WRT54G Ver.7

    I'm now facing a problem on coonecting my PDA (HP ipaq rx3715). I found that it cannot connect when I set the WEP mode. While my PDA works well when connected to another band wireless router with the same setting. Can anyone told me what's going on?

    Assign Static ip address to your PDA which will be in the range of linksys router but not in the DHCP range of the router.

  • 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.

    Hi...
    Try resetting the router to factory defaults. To reset the router ....press and hold down the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. After reseting the router...unplug the power to the router for 30 seconds and then connect the power. When all the lights on the router as steady, try reconfiguring the router from start.

  • WRT54G ver.6 "Dead ?"

    I need some Help i have a linksys wireless router WRT54G ver.6.(Vista)  It was working fine for years then I come home from work and can't get internet.  By-passed router and I get internet.  All lights on router are saying working ok but can't get a connection. I can't even long onto the IPS address for the set-up? I tried all of the Vista repair but gives me an answer at the end can't fix problem.  I'm ok with computers but not an expert. but I'm thinking it's a readability problem with the internet?  Any help or maybe it's time to buy a new one?  Thanks

    Have you tried a hard 30-30-30 reset? First power off your router and remove all cables.  Then plug back in the power cord and let it boot.  When the power light stops blinking and is solid, locate the recessed reset button and press it in holding for 30 seconds. Remove power while still pressing in the reset button for 30 seconds more. Place power back to router for 30 last seconds and release the reset button.  Power off the unit and plug your main PC back into port 1 and your modem back into the WAN port. Power on and reconfigure your settings.  Test unit to see if your internet functionality has returned.

  • WRT54G(ver.6) not broadcasting internet signal anymore.

    I've been using my router (WRT54G ver.6) for almost 2 years now with only a few minor hiccups along the way. Just recently the router won't send the internet signal anymore. I can still connect to the wireless network and use the printer, which is connected to port 1.
    Connected computer directly to the cable modem - Internet works fine.
    Wired modem to router then wired modem to computer(tried all ports) - still no internet.
    Checked all my cables - they're fine.
    All the lights on the router are responding appropriately. I now know that the problem is only the wireless router.
    I've tried practically EVERYTHING!!; holding the reset button for 30secs - 2mins, unplugging the router for days on end, upgrading then downgrading then upgrading firmwares again, jumping on one leg while holding my breath, and all different combinations in between!!!
    I have the latest firmware and even tried using a previous firmware but still no go.
    Also tried the "Mac Address Clone" and still didn't have IS/subnet numbers for the internet under the "Status" tab. (I don't know if I ever had numbers there).
    My ISP is Comcast.
    I'd appreciate any help, thanks.

    Configuration for cable connection:-
    Before doing the following steps, you have to connect the modem to the
    router's Internet Port and the computer to the Ethernet Port Number 1.
    Step 01 : - Reset the router
    1. Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds.
    2. Then, unplug the power keep holding down the reset button for
    another 30 Seconds.
    3. Plug back the power back in, and keep holding down the reset button
    for 30 Seconds.
    4. Release the reset button.
    Step 02 : To Configure the router for Wired Connection.
    Please access the setup page of the router by launching an Internet
    Explorer and type on the address bar, 192.168.1.1 and press enter. When
    it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field
    empty and provide password as “admin "" all in lower cases and then
    click on ok.
    On the main setup page the ""Internet Connection Type"" should be
    on ""Obtain IP Automatically - DHCP “. Click on the Save Settings
    button.
    Now click on the sub tab ""MAC address clone"".
    - Click on enable
    - Click on clone your PC's MAC button and then click on the Save

  • Need alot of help setting up a WRT54G ver.6

    Ok, all i have is the router, (WRT54G Ver. 6 - Wireless G Broadband Router) Ive lost the box it came in, and everything with it. (I also have the power supply & 2 cords) A friend of mine setup everything for me at my old apartment, but Ive moved and have to do everything on my own this time.
    At my old place my computer was the central computer where the broadband modem was, my roommate had a wireless usb card of some kind, that allowed him to connect to the network.
    This time i have to have another computer as the central comp and i need a wireless usb card myself. I dont know what kind to get and how much it will be, any suggestions.
    I also dont know how to set everything up, and what type of hardware/software i will need, i was hoping all the drivers and sofware would be online but im not sure. Im not sure if the computer here needs a different network card or something similar either.
    Im also worried about how my computer is already setup, will i have to delete and redo all the settings already in effect, how do i do all this stuff
    Any advice would be very appreciated, i know nothing at all, not even what wires plug into what.

    setup modem connected to the internet port on the router and pc to the regular port on the router...reset the router for 10sec. then turn if off for the same amount of time while the router is off turn the modem as well.whats the model of your modem?

  • WRT54G ver. 2 stopped working online

    Hello, just recently my wireless router (WRT54G  ver. 2) stopped working online. Two nights ago I believe it stopped. I can still go online when I plug my computer directly into my modem (Linksys BEFCMU10  ver. 4).
    ~ Both of my wireless adapters (WUSB54G  ver.  4) still can connect to the router, of course they don't recieve internet either.
    ~ I verified everything was plugged in, and nobody unplugged it the day it stopped working.
    If you have any questions, please ask.
    Thank you.

    did you had a power surge or thunder storm in your area? coz sometimes it can affect the settings on the router
    have you tried unplugging both your modem and router for a few minutes and plugging them back in? were you still unable to get internet back?

  • WRK54G vs. WRT54G ver. 2

    I've been using a WRK54G for some time now and it has basically just been giving me problems the whole time.  My dad just brought home a WRT54G ver. 2 from his office, though.  Which one should I use?  Is there a better, newer one?  Should I at least try the WRT54G?

    try the other router wrt54g ver 2

  • WRT54G Ver 7 with P2P application

    I searched over the Internet for a long time and found that the following facts (problems) on WRT54G Ver 7 with P2P application:
    1. No maximum connection port can be configured from the factory firmware.
    2. Router hang when maximum connection port reached.
    2. No custom firmware like DD-WRT or Tomato can be used in Ver 7.
    3. No available official firmware update yet.
    Conclusion: Nothing can be done except giving up those applications.
    Please correct me if any wrong

    Nevermind. I found the upgrade from local Linksys website:
    which fixes the above problems.

  • WRT54G ver.6 Admin page not available

    Hi, Two days ago I saw on linksys website new firmware and decided to upgrade.I guess the installation went wrong, and my router WRT54G ver.6 ended up faulty. The problem is that I cannot access the router's Admin page (http://192.168.1.1), the browser gives me message "connection interrupted - The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading." The power light on the router when it starts is steady, no blinking. I can ping the router and as far as I can see it's fully functional in its default mode. I can access internet via cable and wifi. The ssid is Linksys.
    I tried all kinds of hard reset, I guess evertything I could find on your forum. 
    Is there hope for my router or is it "Bricked"? 
    Thanks for your Help
    S...

    Hard reset your router -
    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...
    Also make sure that your computer is set to 'Obtain IP Address Automatically' , disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer before trying to access the setup page...
    If it does not work try connecting a different computer/laptop to the router's ethernet port and see if you can open the setup page...

  • Trying to connect my wireless g router

    Hi,
    I am trying to connect my wireless g router (WRT54G) to my cisco router from my company. My cisco router was configured by my company so that I can use the office phone. I need wireless access in my house (I work from home), and so I am trying to connect the WRT54G to the cisco router.
    I followed the instructions on the setup CD, and it got to the point where it checks the configuration, and then it crashes, and wants to send an error report to microsoft (which I don't understand, but is another question for another time!)
    I am completely at a loss here, and don't know what to do. I barely understand this whole internet/router/W.A.P./network thing as it is, and am frusterated.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!
    Shelley

    Don't use the CD. You are running behind a router already and you don't want to set up two chained routers. Instead set up the WRT as access points like this. Be sure to pick a valid and free LAN IP address in your current LAN for the WRT.
    To secure the wireless you also have to do the following:
    * Change the wireless network name (SSID) from "linksys" to something unique (Wireless tab).
    * Enable wireless security. Use WPA2 Personal or WPA Personal. Use AES+TKIP for WPA2 or TKIP for WPA. Enter a strong passphrase.
    * Change the default password of the router ("admin") on the Administration tab.
