WRT150N v1.1: Can't connect through router, internet light isnt on

Recently there was a thunderstorm last week and it somehow shorted out my cable modem. (It was hooked up to a surge protector and still somehow got damaged..) The router seemed to be fine, however, after having replaced the modem, my desktop can't connect through to the internet nor my laptop on it's wifi. The internet only works when I direclty link the modem to my desktop/laptop.
I've tried unplugging the modem and router for 30 seconds then re-plugginging the modem, waiting for initialization, then booting up the router but i've found no luck in getting it working as it used to.. I searched up past posts, and the "Setting-Up a Linksys Router with Cable Internet Service" doesnt say what to do if the light for internet doesnt turn on.
Another odd thing the router does is that, for some reason, the 3rd port for ethernet is lit up when theres no cable in the port. I checked to see if the light would work in other ports when it was connected and it shows to work fine, just with the additional 3rd port constantly on.
I'm not sure if it helps, but after hooking up the router I pinged it and it responded with:

Anyone know how I can get this router working again? 

Hm, i didn't see any change in anything after completing the steps.. I just had my cable/internet provider service technician come over and take a look at it. Basically, he told me the modem is probably fried somewhere and said I should invest in getting a new router. Surge protectors are apparently just a pretty name for "a good way to blow out multiple expensive devices." So now I'm out to get a wrt160N

  • Can't connect through router

    I've had the same setup for two years, and everything was functioning fine until two days ago, but now I can't establish a wi-fi connection to a laptop or a connection to a desktop through a WRT54G router. I can connect to the network on the laptop, but a red X appears between the router and the internet icons in Network Sharing. When I open a browser on the desktop I receive "Server not found". A direct ethernet cable connection from the modem to both computers works fine.
    I have power cycled all devices, I have reset the modem and the router, and I have tried different cables. I have also tried a second WRT54G router, but the same thing happens. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply. I initial powered everything down, disconnecting all cables and cords on both routers and the modem. When that didn't work, I went into the modem's configuration page and hit the "Factory Reset" button. I also pressed the reset button on the back of both routers and went in and set it up again with the SSID I used before.
    A wired connection from the modem to the router and from the router to my desktop returns a "Server Not Found" message when I open a browser. I think the fact that both a  wired connection from the modem to my laptop and from the modem to my desktop works indicate a router issue, but I can't be certain. You mentioned a configuration problem or a wifi issue, can you recommend a setting or place on the router's configuration page where I might be overlooking something? Thanks for the help.

  • Can't connect through Shared Internet

    I am sharing internet via my PPC mini (OSX 10.4.7). However, I am unable to connect my Ichat account on my new Macbook via this shared internet. The Bonjour works fine, though. I would be grateful for any suggestions.

    Hi inamacworld,
    Have I git this right ?
    ISP shared to several Houses of which you share that connection inside the house with at least the landlord and then through your Mac Mini to your MacBook. Is that Correct ?
    As this is more of a Networking problem I would suggest going to Tiger > Getting Online & Networking forum to find out about using Internet sharing and it's limits.

  • Can't connect imac to internet through Airport Express

    Hello
    I am trying to connect my new imac (2.4Ghz,OS X 10.5) to the internet through my Airport Express (v6.3) but have encountered some problems.
    The set up goes like this:
    Cable Internet <wired> TP-LINK Router <wired> AE <wireless> imac
    The internet is coming from my landlord on the bottom floor of my apartment so I can't change the router.
    The router is assigning a static IP to my AE (192.168.5.101).
    I am using WEP 128 bit security.
    I have set the AE through Airport Utility to act as a Bridge.
    On the imac I set the Network preferences to manually select an IP address (192.168.5.110) which is out of the range of the Router (192.168.5.101-108).
    The AE connects and lights up green and the imac recognises the AE but I still cannot access the internet...
    I have also tried to wirelessly connect my PC laptop to the AE using other static addresses but I still can't connect to the internet.
    Can anyone please help??
    Regards
    Starwolfgang

    Hello Starwolfgang. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    The router is assigning a static IP to my AE (192.168.5.101).
    Are you sure that this provided IP address is static? If so, you also need to note the provided DNS server(s) IPs as well.
    On the imac I set the Network preferences to manually select an IP address (192.168.5.110) which is out of the range of the Router (192.168.5.101-108).
    Since you configured your AX in bridge mode, your computer will be dependent on the NAT (& possibly DHCP) services provided by your apartment's router. Assuming that your landlord doesn't filter out any IP addresses and that the IP address you set is valid, you need to compare your iMac AirPort's DNS server address settings with that provided by your apartment's router to be sure they match.
    Finally, assuming that your apartment provides you with an Ethernet jack, if you connect your iMac directly (via Ethernet) can it access the Internet?

  • I recently updated my iPod touch to sync through iCloud - now can't connect to the internet through wifi, my macbook air is working as we speak

    I recently updated my iPod touch to sync through iCloud - now can't connect to the internet through wifi, my macbook air is working as we speak. ive tried 'forgetting this network" in settings; tried turning off and on again; and pulling my hair out! The last was equally useless and a little painful!

    - Pwer off and then back on yur router

  • Connection through router to air card

    I have replaced a crossover cable with a WRT54G router.  Before I could connect to the internet on my desktop through the crossover cable and my notebook computer which has a Verizon PC Express Air Card installed.
    With the router replacing the cable I can communicate fine between the desktop and notebook except I cannot get internet access on the desktop now.
    Is there a way I can do this with this router?
    Jeff

    Sorry, but this gets more confusing. I repeat my previous question: what exactly is your setup. I don't understand what this PC Express card should be. Is it a normal wireless 802.11b or 11g card? Or is it a 3G kind of thing that connects to your ISP?
    If it is the latter, you must connect this card to a computer therefore the computer where it is connected must be setup for internet connection sharing and therefore this computer is your main gateway (router) for your LAN. There is no benefit using the WRT as router in this kind of setup. You set it up as describe in the other post with the computer with the internet connection card (set up for internet connection sharing) as 1st router and the WRT as 2nd router.
    Please write exactly what ISP you have. With what device you access the ISP. Where this device is connected to (which ports). And where it goes from there. What you have configured on the computers for networking etc.
    Please remember: the WRT is designed as broadband router. It is supposed to have its own internet connection through the internet port. This means the router connects to the internet and no computer in the network. This requires an internet connection where you have a modem with an ethernet jack to which the router can connect. If you don't have this but rather you must use a computer to connect to the internet because your modem/access card does not have a ethernet jack you must set it up differently. The router cannot steer internet traffic then because it does not have its own internet connection. The router can only steer traffic to his own internet connection (on the internet port).

  • Can't Connect to Router Manager

    I want to review the Router Statistics but can't get connected.
    I have typed in the address,  
    http://192.168.1.1/
    Also tried via the Router Icon &  
    http://voyager220v.home/
     but get message "Can't Connect to Router"
    All other web sites are easy to get into.
    Any idea of why this problem is occurring?
    Solved!

    Have you tried rebooting the Voyager or resetting it to default by pressing the recessed reset button.
    Are all the lights on at the front, and the correct brightness?
    Failure of the Voyager 220V power supply was fairly common, but any 12V regulated power unit will work, if it has failed.
    The Voyager range of modems were some of the best, I still have quite a few as standby routers and extra wireless points.

  • Blackberry 9320 can't connect to the internet through WIFI

    Dear all
    I have problem connecting my Blackberry 9320 to the internet via the wifi. I have tried all settings but still can't connect. I connect to the WIFI but when I try to connect to the net its says can't connect to the internet if the problems continues contact your internet service provider. I had the Blackberry 8520, I could connect to the net through the WIFI easily but with this I really don't know where the problem could be. I really need your help

    If it says "Contact your service provider", then i don't think it's a problem with BB's end. You need to contact your carrier.

  • EA6500 can't connect to Router after Time Machine

    Just got an EA6500 - updated to the latest available firmware.
    I've attached 2 x WD NAS and 1 x WD via USB to the unit.
    Everytime AFTER I finished running Time Machine on the MacBookPro (writing to one of the WD NAS), I can no longer login to the router neither from the local IP address nor the cisco cloud connect. The error message that I get (loosely phrased) is: can't connect to Router. Please ensure the router is connected to the internet.
    At this point, all the devices connected to the router (both wired and wireless) still can access the Internet perfectly. Only the router console is no longer reachable.
    Anyone else are having the issue?
    Any ideas on how to resolve it?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Contacted Cisco support and the person advised me to do a factory reset (eventhough the router is brand new with no customization!!). Regardless, it now works properly. Cisco Cloud Connect still works before, during and after a Time Machine session.

  • MySQL - Another 'Can't connect through mysql.sock' question...

    Hey, folks.
    So I'm trying to install MySQL to run with PHP on my PowerBook G4 (running 10.4.7, non-server edition) to use it to test out a shopping cart program for a website I'm building.
    I had it working as of Monday, when I installed it, got all the permissions set, built the necessary tables, and changed the root password (and logged in just to make sure it worked before retiring for the night)...but today I realized that I had somehow installed the wrong version of MySQL (I connected to it earlier today and discovered it was 4.026 - and I needed to be running MySQL 4.1.20, in order to be running the same version as my webhost).
    So I decided to upgrade. I downloaded and installed the 4.1.20 file, followed the directions about creating the system tables, changed permissions via sudo chown -R mysql:mysql data...and now, when I go to change the root user password (just to make sure it's still the same as it was), I get the following error:
    error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)'
    Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists!
    This error also occurs when I try to simply startup MySQL. I also now find I can't connect via MySQL Admin, either - it gives me the same error. Pinging the host works, however.
    Sooo...anyone have any ideas? I've read up on the forums re: Apple changing the socket to /var/mysql/mysql.sock as of 10.4.4, but it seems that would have affected me earlier this week when I was running the previous version of MySQL, too (I certainly haven't upgraded the OS since then).
    Regardless, I can't connect through MySQL Admin using the /var/mysql/mysql.sock socket, anyway...nor the standard /tmp/mysql.sock.
    Any thoughts on what might be causing this? I should confess, I'm well-versed in DOS (ugh), but UNIX is not really my strong suit, so I'm still figuring out how to get around in the Terminal...
    Thanks so much for any input you can give me!
    (Oh, one more thing, since it'll probably come up - I'm not currently connecting via PHP, but I will be eventually. Right now, I just want to be able to change my root password, and login from the Terminal)!
    Thanks again!\
    PowerBook G4 1GHz 15   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Alright, folks.
    Somehow my computer has fixed itself. After wiping the mysql directories entirely, then reinstalling, I was still getting the same error.
    After going back to the original "MySQL-On-Mac" site at Marc Liyanage's entropy.ch site & following some of the instructions there, somehow my problem seems to have fixed itself.
    I wish I could tell you what the solution was (to benefit anyone else having this problem), but since I was simply following the unix commands listed there (without much explanation, at times, as to what they were doing), I just know that somehow it worked.
    (But if I had to make a guess, I think it had to do with starting the server via sudo ./bin/mysqld_safe &)...

  • Linksys Wireless Router BEFW11S4 - Shows connected, but I can not connect to the internet

    I have a Linksys Router hooked up to a cable RCA modem using Comcast Cable. There are 3 laptops that hook up wirelessly to the router and they have been working fine for the past two years. However, recently all three laptops can not connect to the internet for some reason. I checked with Comcast and they checked out the modem and tested it and it works fine. When I hook my laptop up to the modem with an ethernet cable, it works fine and I can get  on the internet. When I hook the modem up to the router and try to connect wirelessly it appears to be fine. It shows that the router is connected there is connectivity on all our laptops, however when I open a new internet explorer page to get on the internet, it does nothing. A blank page appears and the webpage will not load. Does anyone know how to fix this? Is it the router or the way it is setup in the admin page or could it be possibly something else? Thanks.

    As it shows connected under wireless ....check the Ip address under wireless network connection .....
    If it shows Ip 192.168.1.X ....with gateway 192.168.1.1 ..... try to pnig the gateway address ...
    If getting reply try going online ....
    Also disable the firewall first.....

  • Can't connect WRT54GL router to Motorola Surfboard cable modem SB6120

    I can't connect my router (WRT54GL) to my new cable modem (Motorola Surfboard SB6120).
    Some info:
    1)  Cable modem works perfectly when connected directly to computer ethernet port
    2)  ISP is Optimum Online
    3)  Using Automatic DHCP setting on router
    4)  Using MAC cloning on router
    5)  I can access the router's admin screen from the PC
    6)  I can connect to the router wirelessly, but no internet access
    7)  I've tried powering down everything multiple times, still no internet access
    8)  I upgraded the router firmware to 4.30.14
    9)  The "link" light on the cable modem never lights up when connected to the router
    10)  This is very frustrating
    Thanks

    Hi
    I've tried two ethernet cables, no luck.  On the router, I get lights for Power, WLAN and the ethernet port that the pc is connected to.  The "internet" light is not lit.
    When the modem is connected directly to pc the link is lit up, just not when it's connected to router.
    The internet light won't turn on as you need to plug something on the WAN port. And that should be the cable coming from the modem.
    When you connected your pc directly to the modem, do you get internet access?

  • Our web server has been changed can't connect through outlook now

    Dear Members,
    i am really thankful for you i have learn a lot of things from this forum.......today i want to ask one question about outlook, we have a website and we use the company email addresses some period ago we received a lot of spam emails when we talk to our
    hosting company they said we will transfer your website to a new server. as they transferred it to new server all the email address were deleted automatically. but we got the backup of emails and create all the email address with same id again,,,,........problem....is
    this that now we can't connect through outlook for example if i try to setup outlook it goes up to "try unencypted connection" and here stops that can not establish a connection. if i go directly to mail server there all is fine. the hosting company
    give us all the spec that incoming port should be 110 outgoing 587 and pop3. i tried all this but not working even i tried on such a computer where never outlook was installed .....but there it does not work as well..................Thanks;;;;;;;;
    Tahir Mehmood

    Hi Tahir,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you can use OWA but Outlook using pop3 can't work. Right?
    In general, the port for SMTP they are 465 (SSL) and 587(StartTLS) and 25 (unencrypted). 
    The following list for your reference:
    Default   Ports:
    Server:
    Authentication:
    Port:
    SMTP   Server (Outgoing Messages)
    Non-Encrypted
    AUTH
    25 
    Secure   (TLS)
    StartTLS
    587
    Secure   (SSL)
    SSL
    465
    POP3   Server (Incoming Messages)
    Non-Encrypted
    AUTH
    110
    Secure   (SSL)
    SSL
    995
    As you said, your outgoing port is 587,  I  recommend you refer to the following screenshot to set your pop3 setting, and check if any helps:
