Wireless to Wired PC problems with WRT54GS router

I am helping a friend troubleshoot a home network with a high-speed DSL line, WRT54GS router, 3 wired XP PCs and two laptops connecting to the router via 80211.g
The desktop PCs see each other on the network and can share files and printers.
However the laptops via WIFI don't see the wired desktops on the network, nor can the desktop PCs see the laptops on the network. I tried running the XP network wizard on each laptop with no luck. I tried some ping tests with the following results:
When I ping a laptop from a desktop, I get a return ping
When I ping a desktop from a laptop, I can NO return ping.
When I ping the IP address of the router from a desktop, I get a return ping
When I ping the IP address of the router from a laptop, I can NO return ping.
I tried disabling the firewall features internal to the router with no luck.
All machines are running Macafee total security with a firewall. I made sure the firewall was disabled for these tests.
I would appreciate some advice.
Thanks

Turn on file & printer sharing on all computers. Make sure they are all on the same workgroup. Do not use network wizard.
Log on to the router and setup your wireless settings & wireless security. Change the network name from Linksys to something else. Copy these settings on a piece of paper. Now go to your laptops and find the network you just created. It will ask you for the key or passphrase. Input the passphrase you just created. If it does not work you will have to manually configure your wireless settings that you written on paper.

Connection problems with WRT54G Router PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hello all,
Im having a huge issue and im hoping that someone can help me. Awhile ago i changed what i believe to be my router settings using 192.168.1.1 and i believe i added WEP secuirty. I changed my password i know that much. Anyway my problem is this - When i try connecting a router to my computer, i cannot access the internet OR the 192.168.1.1 setup. I just get a yellow caution sign on my wireless settings (running Windows 7), but when i connect my cable modem (Comcast) to my computer, i can access the internet. I have reset both the router and my cable modem MANY times (hard resets) and STILL cannot get the setup page for the router. I have TWO WRT54G rourters and BOTH do the same thing when connected to my desktop , yet BOTH work fine on an old machine running XP, so it is something i did with this computer. Can someone please help me solve this issue? any hlep would be appreciated as i am stumped and do not know how to fix this and cannot use WI-FI or my Xbox 360 until i can fix this..Thanks.

Check the IP address of your computer and see if it's in range with the router's IP.

Online Games Problems With WRT54G Router

Hi There ppl,
I have a Lan House with 50 comps working, and most of my costumers are looking for online games entertainment (Cabal Online, Ragnarok, Dota, CS, 9 Dragon etc). We have an 8 Gb DSL connection and another one of the same speed for back-up (not running simultaneously at the moment). We should be having outstanding results for online gamming (and we were before installing the new router) but we are having several problems since we install a new LinkSys WRT54G router here. Our physical configuration is the modem, followed by the router, than three DLink Switches(24 ports) and my main computer. Everything cable
What we noticed is that the Internet connection looks normal (even using the command "ping", nothing strange appears, no timed out at all!) but online games (specially the above mentioned) have an intermitent connection. (Some times they connect, some dont)... Looks like it happens usually when I have the house crowded, but already showed also with it empty.
Another issue is that I am using the LinkSys Advisor to help identifying this problem, but I am getting even more confused, because its giving new information each time I refresh the "my network" window. Also happens when showing "My Network Settings" on the Support Tab.
Im using Firmware 8.00.0, what I think is the newest.
I didnt try any forwarding port issue yet, as I would like to receive more information about it (never needed to configure anything related before). Concerning the MTU value I already tryed withou any significantly result.
Please If anyone had the same problem, or have any idea of other possible tests, i would appreciate a lot.
Thank you and have a great day all

Hi there Helm,
Tks for your attention and reply to my issue!! Yesterday right after posting here (when we closed the doors and I could be able to work on it) I did get the latest one (8.00.2) and also set up manually the MTU value to 1500 (standard is automatic). I also unckeck the "anonymous internet request bock", "Multcast filter" and "Filter NAT forwarding", all of them were checked as standard. I also checked the "HTTPS Internet Access" (standard is only HTTP).
At a first moment I could get a very low sensitive better result (but the Lan was closed, so I had the entire 8Gb for my requests). I came back to work right now, and we have about 30 ppl in, mostly using the Internet, MSN and so... I am trying yo connect to Cabal Online, and GG-Esports (Warcraft, Dota) both of them giving the same problems as always... I am really getting tired and disapointed with LinkSys, I really though I would have much more than I am having right now.
Anyway I gonna keep trying each night to see what I cant get. I do post here If I find any solution (or if I really decided to move to another brand)
Thank you a lot and have a great night out there

Help with bizzare problem with WRT54G router

I have a WRT54G v2.2 router connected to 1 PC running Linux and a laptop running Windows XP which are both connected via Ethernet cable. The router is connected to a Netgear ADSL modem.
The issue which has occurred only recently is that the laptop has been blocked from accessing all sites except www.ninemsn.com.au.
The other PC can access all sites without issue.
I have tried restoring factory defaults, hard reset (using reset button and power down sequence) and updating to the current firmware. Nothing seems to unblock web access for the laptop.
I have connected the laptop to the ADSL modem directly and confirmed I can access any site. I have tried also booting to a Linux demo CD on the laptop, and this has had the exact same symptoms, which rules out the OS.
Running a netstat -a after opening a browser window to google.com.au shows an active connection, but the browser waits indefinatly for a reply.
Tried swapping the 2 ports around and also the Lan cable to no effect. Tried enabling the wireless adapter on the laptop and connect via wireless, but had the same symptoms.
I am at a complete loss as to why this has suddenly occured. The same configuration has been running fine for about 2 years.
Any suggestions?

Access the setup page of the router and go to the "Applications & Gaming" tab. Scroll down below and look for the "Wireless QoS" option, enable the WMM Support and disable the No Acknowledgement.

I need advise and help with this problem .
First , I have been with Mac for many years ( 14 to be exact ) I do have some knowledge and understanding of Apple product .
At the present time I'm having lots of problems with the router so I was looking in to some info , and come across one web site regarding : port forwarding , IP addresses .
In my frustration , amongst lots of open web pages tutorials and other useless information , I come across innocent looking link and software to installed called Genieo , which suppose to help with any router .
Software ask for permission to install , and about 30 % in , my instinct was telling me , there is something not right . I stop installation . Delete everything , look for any
trace in Spotlight , Library . Nothing could be find .
Now , every time I open Safari , Firefox or Chrome , it will open in my home page , but when I start looking for something in steed of Google page , there is
''search.genieo.com'' page acting like a Google . I try again to get raid of this but I can not find solution .
With more research , again using genieo.com search eng. there is lots of articles and warnings . From that I learn do not use uninstall software , because doing this will install more things where it come from.
I do have AppleCare support but its to late to phone them , so maybe there some people with knowledge , how to get this of my computer
Any help is welcome , English is my learned language , you may notice this , so I'm not that quick with the respond

Genieo definitely doesn't help with your router. It's just adware, and has no benefit to you at all. They scammed you so that they could display their ads on your computer.
To remove it, see:

Do not use the Genieo uninstaller!

Problems with WRT54GS Wireless

Hi,
I bought a WRT54GS over two years ago and has been a really good unit to have, but we did see problems recently when adding a WET54G wireless bridge. Initially I thought it was the bridge locking up and preventing access to the server it provides network access for. After upgrading its firmware it appeared fine until a couple of days ago when all wireless in the house stopped.
It appears the WRT54GS just gave up the wireless activity. I could connect via the browser admin tool through a wired switch port and it said everything was fine, even the wireless light on the front was on, but continuously - no activity.
I've tried unplugging, saving the config and defaulting back to factory setting and then reimporting the config, but no matter if it was in custom or default mode no activity at all.
So I ordered a new unit that is still to arrive only to find to my surprise that last night all of a sudden wireless started working again with no user intervention at all?
Now I need to understand if I should use the new unit when it arrives and keep the old box with the wireless turned off, as it's still a worthy 4 port switch or send the new unit back for a refund?
Any ideas, anyone?

I have had this problem for the last 1yr since I switched to Linksys wireless routers. I started with the one with the SRX200 technology (WRT54GX2) and after 1yr, Linksys replaced the router. Within a month the problem appeared. So, I purchased one with SRX400 (WRT54GX4 with v1.00.13 firmware) three weeks back and the same problem has appeared again. I just don't know what to do next. !@##$$%&*
I have connected my laptop to the wired port of the router and I am able to access the internet while typing this. The wireless settings seem to be OK and the front panel LED shows that it is ON.
Sometimes, disabling the radio and re-enabling works. When it doesn't, I cycle the power to the router and it works sometimes. Many times, none of these methods work and I have to do a hard reset of the router where the configuration is completely erased. I have to reload the config from the backed up file and then the wireless would start working again.
The chat support from Linksys is terrible as their response seems to be extremely canned, it almost makes me feel that they are just bots with human names. Replacing the router is NOT going to be the solution and even after over a dozen chat sessions with Linksys, I haven't received a solution. I thought they will atleast tell me to capture some internal logs/status which will help them to debug the issue, but just being a Cisco company doesn't mean that they represent a quaity brand and are able to rectify issues. I am extremely disappointed with Linksys and Cisco. So, I am turning to this forum for any advice. Appreciate any.
I noticed that there is a new version of firmware (1.00.17). So, I upgraded my router to the new f/w just now. Lets see what happens in the future...

Problem with two Xbox 360's being online at same time with WRT54GS router

Hey guys, I have a bit of an annoying problem. I have multiple 360 consoles which are occasionally online at the same time. When one is on, it either causes connection problems with the other or blocks the other from signing on all together. Both are using the official wireless adapters and are hooked up to my WRT54GS. Usually when one of them fails at the connection test, it's a DNS failure, but it has occasionally been an IP failure.
I've already tried:
-setting them both up with static IPs. This caused NAT issues and didn't really fix the problem with one of the consoles kicking the other off.
-forwarding ports to one while leaving the other alone, setting one up in a DMZ while leaving the other alone, and setting one up in a DMZ and forwarding the ports to the other. All three trials showed no improvement, and caused NAT problems.
Also yes, I do have UPnP enabled.
*sigh*
This problem has been driving me up the wall for months now. No one I've talked to has been able to figure it out. If anyone can offer me a solution I will forever be in your debt.

You can set a Static Ip on Both the XBOX and then login to your router and do Port Triggering, this may solve your problem.

Wireless printing problems with Asus router RT-N56U and HP8500

Neew MacBookPro with Lion. Also have HP 8500a 909a printer hooked up to an Asus router RT-N56U Google search indicates MANY problems with HP printers being used with wireless Mac, even with Airport. Of course we know HP is one of the worse customer support companies on earth,, so I came here in hopes to find a solution. I updated my mac and firmware for router. The Mac doesn't find any printers wirelessly at all. If I hook up with a cable it works fine.. Thanks

I own the RT-N56U (best router on the market hands-down), along with an HP LaserJet 1320, however it's connected via USB to my computer instead of the router. While it's true that HP don't have a terrific support record for Mac drivers in fairness it may be the Asus router causing the problem; if you Google "Asus RT-N56U" and "mac os x print server", you'll find complaints similar to yours from other users. From what I understand this is partly dependent on your printer and whether it supports network printing, and partly on compliance with the Asus router firmware. I Googled what appears to be a possible solution to configuring the Asus print server, however I haven't yet tested this myself:

Problems with Linsys Router WRT54G v6

My WRT54G router's power light will light up and stay solid for approximately five seconds and then the power light will blink...when the light is on for those short five seconds I can access really simple sites like google but not nothing when the light is blinking. I am also unable to access the router through the browser at any time ("The page cannot be displayed"). The computer is recently factory restored but works fine on other networks. I have heard that updating firmware might help, but I do not know how to do that since I cannot access the router. Would be grateful for any help.
Thanks!!

Try holding the reset button in for about 5 - 10 seconds.
Then after it's rebooted, the config page should be accessible at
192.168.1.1

File and Printer Sharing Problem with WRT54G

I am currently having problems sharing files over my network. My setup consists of:
3 laptops (wireless)
1 desktop (wired)
WRT54G V6.0 router with firmware version 1.00.9.
All of the computers have File and Printer Sharing enabled, unique names, and are on the same workgroup. However none of the computers can see one another. When I try to view workgroup computers for my network places, the explorer window stops responding for about 30 sec. and then spits out a dialog with the error:
"Workgroup is not accessable. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available."
I think that this problem has something to do with the router, as I have been successfuly sharing files and a printer with these settings using a microsoft 802.11b router for over a year. After purchasing the linksys and swapping it out with my old router, filesharing no longer functions.
I have spent a little time browsing the forums and have seen other posts from people with simmiler problems, but was unable to find any solutions.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

I'm having the same problems as you are, I have 2 computers on wired the other wireless the router is in between and I can't access from either side, although I can ping and remote connect but just cannot share files across the network. I have looked all over the forums too and there saying to ditch linksys and do something else.
Its not you thats caused this it is the firmware and the router that have the problems.
My Specs:
WRT-54G
v5.0
That new firmware update 1.00.9 just isn't working right. I might downgrade my fireware to fix this problem.

Problems with WRT54G getting connected to internet

This is a slightly odd situation, in my opinion. I have the following setup:
ethernet modem -> WRT54G Version 7 router -> multiple computers with WMP54G wireless ethernet card.
The problem what I have is that everything works, when wired (onboard ethernet card of one of the computers), but when looking at the connection from a computer that's wireless the internet connection just doesn't exist!? How is that possible at the same time?
Reading parts of other problem threats:
DHCP is turned off. I prefer a static network address. Have WPA2 set up (works fine it seems)
If more info is needed, do tell so.Message Edited by shangori on 12-03-200607:47 AM

Yes, I am connected to the router (can change the settings on it, can ping the router AND other computers on the network). The computer I changed the settings from is the one wireless, so that works as well. Sometimes the wireless connection disconnects still, but mostly it does so when internet has already disconnected. So I think it's more the connection with the internet that's a little haywire.
While browsing the router settings on any browser (firefox and IE) I do reguraly get the message that the 'website gave a wrong code' (sorry, the error is in dutch and this is the best translation I can give) and that I should contact the administrator of the site of the problem consists. When refreshing it sometimes shows the page wrongly (missing half of it for instance or just only text) when this error has just occured. It takes a restart of the router (pulling the plug, waiting a min, replugging it) to get rid of it.
Getting connected to the internet is fairly difficult. It takes several attempts and several messages of "PPTP connection can't be established", before anything happens. When I am connected it takes anywhere between a few minutes and several hours before I'm getting disconnected and have to go through the entire thing of trying to connect several times again.
I've reconnected my old router (not wireless, older sweex model) and with that one the connection remained stable for several hours, before I tried it again with the WRT54G. I have Connect on Demand set with a max idle time of 9999min (basically, I don't want to get disconnected at all, even if I'm not doing anything). Sometimes I kinda think that it doesn't see being logged in on msn as me being busy or something.
Again, if more info is needed, do say so.
