Wireless router help WRT54GS

I have had to call linksys about once a weeek to reconnect my wirelss.  It keeps going out. ( Sometimes because of storms but today for no reason I know) And now I cannot pull up the 192.168.1.1 website. 
Why does my wireless keep going out and how do I reconnect to the site to try and fix my router? Can anyone help?
Thanks

  • WRT54GS wireless router help!!

    Hey about 4 month ago i bought a wrt54gs v.6 wireless router and i jus moved and i have no clue where i packed up the setup cd, i spent about 5 hrs online trien to find it but no luck, i checked at linksys.com/download and i downloaded the thing it wanted me to and i jus got a notepad full of numbers and letters any clue what to do next? or a link would b perfect
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Check the physical connection, your modem should be connected to the internet port of the linksys router, one computer should be connected to the ethernet port(1,2,3 or 4) of the linksys router...
    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 automatically, disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer before trying to access the setup page...
    See if you could open your router set-up and configure it...

  • Wireless Router Help

    I recently moved this past week and I am trying to set up a wireless internet for my Macbook Pro.  At my old residence I could pick up the signal just fine, but at this new place, I can't seem to get AirPort to pick up a signal.  When I go into Network and check the Diagnostics, all the airport setting lights are green except for the bottom 2 (I believe they are Internet and Server.  Those 2 are Yellow.)  However if I disconnect the ethernet from the wireless router and plug it directly into my computer, I do receive a wireless signal. 
    Do I have to reconfigure my wireless router (since I did change from Charter to Time Warner) in order for AirPort to transmit the signal to my computer?  If so, how do I do that?
    Any help is greatly appreciated. 

    Can Time Warner confirm that your router is compatible with their service?
    You may need to reset your broadband modem to convince it to connect to a "new" device.  Depending on the model of modem, that can be as easy as removing power for a few moments.  If that doesn't work, remove power and wait 15 minutes.  Further reset steps can involve pressing a "reset" button or removing a battery if the modem has one.  In the worst case, your ISP may need to edit its settings to update to the MAC address of the new router.

  • Setting up HP L-7590 via usb to wireless router, help needed..!

    Hi,
    I have been using my L7590 via lan to a wireless router for a few years... that was perfrect...
    Recently I had to change router because of change of ISP. The new router is a Huawei B683... the  problem I have is that this router does not allow LAN connections from the router ...!! It does has a USB port that is for the printer...
    I am unsure as to how I setup the printer connected via usb to the router....
    Do I use the network installation setup...? Or do I use the USB setup...??
    Any help is greatly appreciated...
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Connecting the printer to a router's USB port (aka. print server) will only allow you basic print functionality , it won't provide you any scan functionality, faxing from the computer, ink levels or any operation of the HP Solution Center program.
    To get full functionality you must work with the provided functionality which means USB connection directly to a single PC or Ethernet connection to a router.. therefore using an Ethernet router will be the preferred solution for you.
    In order to setup the printer as you described you should connect the printer to the USB port and go to Control Panel > System. click add a printer and add it through the network.. there might be a need to enter your wireless homepage to enable the printer through the USB, there might be additional setup information in there.. that veries between different print servers and you may contact Huawei support or your ISP for any assistant within the print server configuration.

  • Using Airport plus additional wireless router (help, possible?)

    Hi All,
    I'm curious to know if I can connect to an additional wireless router while I am also connected to my AirPort Extreme.
    I just moved into an apartment with an existing wireless internet connection and I currently can't replace my AirPort base station with their router that is provided by Verizon. I also have my own AirPort Extreme that I connect to in order to access an external hard drive wirelessly.
    As of now I have been switching between the two of them, which, as you can imagine, can be quite inconvenient. So, I would like to use them at the same time, if that is possible.
    Does anyone know if I can set this up and how I go about doing it?
    Thanks so much!

    Unfortunately, unlike the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) cannot "Join an existing wireless network."
    The only other option, would be to try to establish a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) between the apartment's wireless router and the AEBSn ... but this would only work if that router is WDS-compatible. There are only a few that are.

  • Wireless Router Help Needed! Please and Thank You

    My warrenty has expired on my router, and Linksys is conveniently not able to help me get my router back on track.  I have had the same problem several times, and have had the steps wrote down to fix it however, I have recently moved into a new place and conveniently lost the paper.
    Usually it was a matter of just cloning my mac ID and it would work, in which I tired that with no success!  Im frustrated and I need my internet for my schooling.
    If anyone could help me it would be GREAT!  Im not able to be on the internet to check so often as to if I have a reply on here, so if you feel you can help please call me! 
    Thanks in advance!

    First Connect the Modem to the Linksys Router on the Internet Port and then connect your Computer to the Linksys Router on the Port no.1.
    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...

  • 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.

  • Error message when connect to wireless router with wifi enabled phone

    Wireless router model WRT54G Ver.2
    i would like to seek help on this.
    I have been using a wirreless router to access the internet with my computer and it has been working fine. recently i got a handphone with wifi capability (nokia 5800). I managed to connect the phone to connect to the wireless router (it says so in the phone status). but when i tried to open the browser in the phone i got an error message "No Gateway Reply".
    Can anyone help me to troubleshoot?
    I enable WEP for security.
    another thing is, i tried to use the phone to connect to another wireless router at the cafe, it worked well.
    thanks

    When you connect your handphone to your wireless network, whats the IP address you are getting it on your handphone, if required you can provide a static ip on your handphone i.e IP : 192.168.1.10, Subnet : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1, DNS1: 4.2.2.2, DNS2 : 4.2.2.1 and after this you can restart your handphone and try to check if you are able to go online or not.

  • Good suggestions for a wireless router for Powerbook 15" ?

    I saw some routers with 108Mbps speed, but I think the airport express in powerbook can only have up to 54Mbps speed, then, isn't it going to be a waste??
    I am thinking of to buy a wireless router... does anyone have good suggestions?
    I don't need a extremely good range (my rental room is small anyways...), but i would like faster speed if possible~~
    Please write down the model no. too~~~
    Thanks a million!

    In addition, if you are only using the network to reach the Internet, you won't notice much or any speed improvement by paying more money, because home DSL/cable speeds are all much slower than Airport (802.11b) or Airport Extreme (802.11g) is capable of.
    The only time that a faster wireless router helps is when you transfer files between two machines on your local network and at least one is wireless, because file transfer inside your local network can be much higher than the outside Internet. But it is still faster to connect them with Ethernet cables.
    Home DSL/Cable: Typically well under 5 megabits/sec, lowest price tier is usually only around 768kb-1.5 mb/sec
    Wireless Airport 802.11b: 11 mb/sec (usually half that in actual use)
    Wireless Airport Extreme 802.11g: 54 mb/sec (usually half that in actual use)
    Wired Ethernet network and router: 100 mb/sec

  • New WRT54G wireless router. Who's the genius that can help me?

    I just purchased a WRT54G wireless router. The main reason is my son wanted to be able to use his Sony PSP online. I also have two desktop computers that will be wired thru this router. My question's are. If he is using his PSP online and the desktops are wired, can the desktops be "hacked" if they are on/off? If the router is turned off then the wireless is not working? If I access the router and disable the SSID Broadcast then the wireless portion of the network is off? What are the safest security settings to protect my network?
    Thanks.

    Dead Mans Zone....  I guess.
    Using the DMZ is a very simple and risky way to forward ports. The DMZ takes an ip address of a computer on your network, and forwards all ports to that computer. This is really nice if you are having problems forwarding ports for some program. It can be a life saver if your router will not allow you to properly forward ports. It also has a huge downfall. The computer that is in the DMZ is now wide open to internet traffic. Meaning that it will catch virii, and it will be at risk of being hacked. If you put a computer into the DMZ then please install a software firewall to help protect it
    Orange/White. The Cisco logo is the Router’s SecureEasySetup button. It lights up and will stay orange when the Router is powered on. The color orange indicates that the Router is not using the SecureEasySetup feature, while the color white indicates that the Router is using the SecureEasySetup feature. When the Router enters SecureEasySetup mode, the Cisco logo will turn white and start flashing. After the Router has generated the SSID and WPA-PSK (also called WPA-Personal) key, the Cisco logo will stop flashing and stay white.

  • WRT54G Wireless Router Problem. Need Help!

    I'll start with the basics of my situation and if more details are needed, I will provide to the best of my ability.
      I have a comcast cable internet connection.  I have 6 computers in my house. Two of them are downstairs (which is where our modem is.) The other four computers are upstairs.  All of these computers are Desktop computers with the exception of one laptop.
    My laptop (which is Windows XP) can pick up a random wireless signal from the room it is in.  I also found out a way to share the internet connection on the computer by going into the properties of my network connection and enabling internet sharing on it.  This means if I connect a network cable from my laptop to another computer, I can leech the connection from my laptop and have internet access on the other computer.  I also  had a switch that I used to connect the other 3 computers upstairs by means of the laptop.  The problem was, the laptop was using someone else's wireless connection in the area, and it wasn't strong enough to keep up a constant connection.
    I decided, if I can leech someone else's wireless connection, why not have my own.  So i recently bought WRT54G Wireless Router and set it up on one of the computers downstairs (because that's where the modem is).  It works fine as far as connecting my laptop to the internet from upstairs.  My laptop can access the internet through the connection I set up in the LELA program. 
    Here is the part I am confused about.  Everything is plugged in correctly as far as the router is concerned because the laptop can access the internet.  But when I connect an ethernet cable directly to one of my other computers (which are Windows Vista, but I didn' t have a problem with it previously when I was leeching someone else's connection), the connection drops on my laptop, and the other computer still can't access the internet.  A notice pops up that says its trying to identify the network, but it gives an error that says there is something wrong with the DNS.  As soon as I disconnect the ethernet cable connecting my laptop to one of the other computers, the connection is fine again on the laptop.  It's only when I connect the computers together that the connection drops. 
    I just don't understand why it wouldn't work when I created my own network if it worked with another network with no problem.  My whole point in getting a wireless router was to have a router within good range to keep up a constant connection on my other computers that aren't in range of the modem downstairs.  I just don't know where else to look.  I'm not sure if it can be fixed on LELA, manually through my wireless settings, or if it could be a problem with one of my computers' settings.  I've tried many different things and I'm not sure what else to do so any help is most definately appreciated.  I feel like I've tried everything.  I know it's possible because I've one it before, I just need the help because I'm not much of a networking person and I don't know what I should start with to make this work.
    Thank you to anyone who can help or even point me in the right direction.

    Access router setup page ...Click on the Wireless tab on the Setup page- Here Wireless Network mode should be mixed- Provide any non-linksys name .... Set wireless channel to 11- And wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on "Save Settings" >>Now Click on the Sub tab under wireless > "Wireless Security" Change the Wireless security mode to WEP/WPA ...type in the key & click save settings .... >>>>Click on Advanced Wireless settings>>Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings" Check the connection once again & see if it works or not ...

  • Can anyone help me with my wrt54gs wireless router?

    We have the wrt54gs V7 wireless router hooked up to an older HP desktop computer (running on WindowsXP) and have had a work laptop hooked up to the wireless router for 2 years w/o any problems.  We just bought a new laptop running on Windows 7 and although we can see our wireless as an option, have keyed in the Secure Key #, we still cannot connect.  I tried running the Linksys set up cd that came w/ the router to set up the wireless connection on the new laptop and it says the disk is not able to run on the operating system.  I went thru the process to add a new wireless computer from the desktop/using a USB drive to load the wireless app but when I plug in the USB to the new laptop it stops the set up and says the wireless radio is off on the laptop even though the wireless is on.   I am at a loss on how to connect!!    1) how do I get the new laptop to connect to our current wireless router if the set up disk and the USB drive methods do not work?  2) if we eventually get rid of the desktop computer what do I need to do to ensure our wireless connection stays on?
    I am ready to throw the new laptop out the window so any help is MUCH appreciated!!

    You don't need the setup disk for anything.  Connect with a wired computer to 192.168.1.1username blank, password 'admin' (or wahtever you changed it too).  Now look up your security and enter it into your new laptop.
    Go here for help.

  • Need help on the WRT54G wireless router!

    Hello all! I need your help guys! I have a Linksys Wireless router WRT54G V4 and it was working fine till yesterday when a power drop happen in my neighborhood. I notice that my router was alright but when I tried going online it didn't work. So I resetted my router and ran the CD for all the steps and now it keeps reading that it can't pick up on my At&T DSL Modem. It keeps stating that I should see if it's on, which it is, and if not then try to turn it off then back on. Well, I've tried that and no luck!
    My next step was to go the the router's setup page and do the setup through there. Ok, so, I've done everything right but when you go to the Status section of the page and push connect it reads that my PPoEp, or how ever it's spelled, has failed. In troubleshooting, I checked to see if my modem was bad so I connected the internet directly to my computer without the router and the modem works fine.
    So there you have guys. What do you think is wrong or what should I do!? My 3 Year warranty has expired on this router and I'm not about to cough up $25-$29 dollars for tech support from Linksys. The router is still good. Every thing lights up and is in good shape. 
    My guess is that the port where the internet is connected on the router may be a bad port.
    Suggestions!?

    You can try these settings
    Open reouters set up page ,under internet connection type use "automatic configuration DHCP",click on save settings.
    Click on "mac clone" sub tab ,enable the service click "clone my pcs mac" & click save settings .
    Now under status tab check the internet Ip address ,if you are getting public Ip ,then try going online .
    If Ip is 192.168.1.x ,then under set up change the Local Ip address to 192.168.2.1. save the settings & power cycle for 1 min .
    Then again try going online.
    If Ip is 0.0.0.0,then use PPPOE under internet connection type & enter username & password provided by your
    ISP .click on connect under status tab.If getting a valid Ip address try going online OR
    Let me know the exact error message on status tab after clicking connect .
