WRT54G and laptop problems

my new laptop picks up the signal from the router and says the connection is "excellant", yet when I test the connection, it says it cannot find one and that windows cannot identify the problem. I know for a fact that this is a router problem and not a laptop problem since my Wii has similar issues. Any suggestions?

What's your laptop's ip address?
The box said windows xp or better... So I installed Linux!

WRT54G and Playstation problems

Hello,
I have the WRT54G router v. 4 and I am connected to my playstation 2 through an ethernet cable. I have my PS2 assigned a static IP address and have disabled UPnP (I read somewhere this solves many PS2 connectivity problems).
My wireless connection is nearly flawless and never goes out. However, my wired connection to my PS2 goes out quite often. I also receive "can not connect to ISP" messages sometimes when trying to connect online.
What is the problem and what can I do to establish a more reliable connection?
Thanks.

Try this link to configure the Play Station with the router .....
Hope it works ....

Wrt54gs AND TORRENTS problem

I just went from a d-link router to a Linksys wrt54gs. Before the light on bit torrent when downloading was always green now with the new router it is staying yellow and the download is real slow. I also have a game adapter WGA54G hooked uo to a xbox 360 which downloads the demos super fast. How do i get the yellow light to go to green????

try and adjust the MTU on the router ....start at 1492 and if necessary go to 1200...
have you forwarded the ports required by torrents on the router ?

Windows Keboard and Booting Problem (on a Mac laptop)

Hi, I've been putting up with a really strange (and annoying) problem that my laptop has been going through. I have a Santa Rosa MacBook Pro with OS Leopard, and I put on a Windows XP Pro (with Service Pack 2) NTFS partition. It used to work fast at first--especially booting up and logging on. I have noticed that now when I log onto Windows (no other user accounts , just mine) the wallpaper, desktop, desktop icons, start bar, all load. But when I click on My Computer it takes a good minute and a half for all the components to be displayed (like C drive , the CD drive, Shared Documents). I only have one partition which is C drive. But for a minute and a half, the flashlight icon keeps moving back and forth. Even if I click on any icon, the cursor will turn into a sandtimer but no programs will open once all the drives show up in the My Computer window.
My initial theory was that maybe it's searching for My Documents which I shifted to one of my external harddrives. But that doesn;t seem to be it. When I log off and log back in, it loads much faster. I can open programs in 2 seconds. Also, I realized that the Apple keyboard features (which is controlling volume and brightness) works only then. If I had to boot up Windows, not only does it take long to load (although shutting down is pretty quick), the brightness and volume keys don't work. I have to set it manually through Control Panel. So now if I have to open up Windows, the ritual is that I sit around for a minute and a half (which is a very long time if u think about it) and just when it's working I force myself to log off (so the volume and brightness keys work once I log back on)
I suppose it's worth mentioning that I had downloaded this "skin" which makes XP look like Vista, but I uninstalled it now although not completely since it needed the Service Pack 2 CD which I don't have at the moment (I'm on vacation) . I would think that could be the problem, but then why does simply logging off and on make Windows work like a charm? Is it an update glitch? Has anyone had this problem before? Could somebody please help me since I'm really tired of waiting around or this stupid thing to load (not to mention hearing myself come up with stupid theories). This has been going on for 4 and half months now. Come to think of it it's been a while since I received any Bootcamp updates from Apple (unless they just haven't released any that could fix such a problem)
Just in case my specs are-- 2.4 GhZ, OS 10.5, nVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT, 15 inch display, 250 GB (of which 30 GB is for Windows).
I'll be waiting for any answers/suggestions/tips/solutions. Thanks so much in advance =)

Problem with WRT54G and DSL NAT router

I have a WRT54G connected to a Westell DSL NAT router. I would like to be able to allow incoming connections to my FreeBSD server.
The Westell router allows me to set IP Passthrough (they call it "Single Static IP"). This gives the WRT54G the outside IP address given to the DSL router. I can then set up the WRT54G for DDNS and port forwarding to forward specific ports I want to my server.
This works, for about 2-3 days. Then, I start to randomly lose outside connectivity. Web pages start coming up with missing elements, or taking a long time to load. This will eventually lead to total loss of outgoing communication.
Normally, I would blame this on the Westell NAT router, but as I'm losing connectivity to the internet, I'm also losing connectivity to the WRT54G. It will try to load configuration pages but will be slow with missing elements, etc.
All communications between computers on my inside network continue to function properly, it's just connectivity to the WRT54G and the internet that seem to start to fail.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on? I just upgraded the firmware on the WRT54G from 1.01.1 to 1.02.0, but I don't imagine this will help.
Thanks,
David Chamberlain

Try setting the MTU to manual and change the value to 1450

Connecting WRT54g with Sprint aircard for desktop and laptop

I am trying to setup my router with my sprint aircard on my desktop so that both my desktop and laptop can get internet. Does anyone have an idea on how to do this. i have been trying for a week now and cant get it. I have read messages every where and people say you can do it. I just cant figure it out. please help.
Message Edited by dgrev16 on 02-02-2008 03:58 PM

you should be able to plug you desktop into one of the numbered ports on the back of the router, that will get the desktop going, if it has an ethernet port, now with respect to the laptop, is the sprint aircard for wireless web that you pay for monthly or your adaptor to use for the router, if you pay monthly for the sprint aircard that is good and you should be able to use the laptop anywhere you want and there is sprint service to get online, does your laptop have a wirless card built in? if so you could use that to get online, let us know what you have and we can provide more support.

Wireless repeater using wrt54g and wap54g

i am having problems connecting my wrt54g and wap54g as wireless repeater. my setup is as follows: 1. wrt54g (192.168.1.10) is connected to a dsl provider modem/router (192.168.1.1) (dhcp server). With this setup i do not have any problems connecting my wired pc and laptop to the network. 2. on my 2nd floor the signal is faint thus i need to extend the wireless signal. 3. i have a wap54g (192.168.1.12) that i would like to repeat the signal of the wrt54g. 4. i tried the guide from the website but it was general thus there are some settings (recommended) that are missing. questions: 1. does the 2 wireless ap need to have the same SSID, channel and wep settings? 2. what should be the gateway for the wap54g? 192.168.1.1? 3. when using wifi, would i see 2 access point? or a single 1 and whoever is nearer? 4. does the wrt54g need to be a dhcp server? or the 192.168.1.1 can do that. 5. does my ideal setup be 2 AP and not 1 wireless router/ap and 1 ap? 6. can the wrt54g use wireless distribution mesh? 7. i cannot see my wrt54g from the firware downloads, mine is v7 and there are only v6 and v8? am from asia and this might be an asian version? any help would be appreciated.

what i did was the following: 1. enable wap54g as a wireless client to look for the main ssid. 2. copy the mac address to the option for wireless repeater. 3. i can now use the wap54g as a repeater. when i shut down everything and turn it on, i cannot again hook up. again, i have to do the steps above for the wap54g to act as a repeater. any idea on what the problem is? i am sure that what i am putting on the mac address is correct. even when i shut down and turn on all router and accesspoints. the connection seems lost.

WRT54G and multiple wireless machine (including gaming)

Hi all,
I had bought (as you can clearly see in the subject ) a WRT54G, as I wanted one to play online with the Wii and Playstation 3 (Mario Kart and Battlefield: Bad Company, in case you're interested ).
I also bought a Laptop (I was on a roll ), with <drum rolls> Wireless Support (duh) ... I was thinking though, comparing it to the Wireless-N series ... will I have any problems in games? Or will I have performance decreases? When someone is browsing and downloading via the laptop, and another person is playing a game ... will that affect each other?
What I mean to say, if you want something like this router for doing this stuff, is it a good router, or just acceptable? Will an N-router be a WAY better choice?
I still have a problem setting it up too, but that's a different issue. Sad isn't it ... starting CCIP, and having problems setting up a home wireless router .
Ciao,
Marco

I know a wireless N router can do the same.
What I mean is, is it reliable for online gaming? I have this WRT54G router, and I want to use it for gaming and a normal use of a laptop, but who knows, maybe also streaming videos (I tend to watch game and movie trailers). For me that's just "normal" use, I don't plan to download huge load of data with this connection, therefor I got a wired connection. And even if I had only a laptop, I'd connect it to a Ethernet port directly on the router.
I was playing Battlefield: Bad Company yesterday on the PS3, and I got sort of a laggie connection. With these console gaming, it's not usual it seems to connect to a server you want to connect to, but you're just connected to one. I have no idea what the ping response to this server is, and I can't see any troubleshooting methods on it either.
To be clear, for this use, and next year we'll be moving to a new house with concrete walls / floors, now it's wood ... what is best to do, to ditch the WRT54G and get a 160N ? Especially the gaming, I just don't want to get used to laggy gaming.

WRT54G and Comcast Cable Modem Setup

Please help. I just bought a LINKSYS WRT54GS and I'm trying to set up a wireless network for my laptop (No other computers on network), and my ISP is Comcast. The model # on the Comcast Broadband Modem is DHG535-2 and the manufacturer is RCA. The computer sees the network but only shows a local connection. No internet. I have tried everything and it will not let get on the internet. I have checked all cables several times and the connections seem to be right. I don't know where to go from here. Can someone please help me? I will be very grateful!
Thanks

Is your problem related to getting on the internet in general? Or are you able to get on the internet, but now you need to get the wireless network setup?
1) There might be some lights on the cable modem that indicate if it is successfully connecting to the internet. On mine(a different model/brand) I have three lights that must all be lit up to indicate I'm on the internet. Whenever they are not all lit up, it is usually an indication that either there is a problem with comcast's network, a problem with my coaxial cables providing the Comcast service, interferance (one time they had to come out and replace some of their equipment at my apartment complex, if you have analog cable and look at the lower channels on your cables TV, 4-10,and there is lots of static, then this might be a problem, a tech told me those channels are close to the range that internet is provided on, so static on them can indicate problems that would also effect internet0, or the lights not being lit up might indicate you hagve registered that modem on their network. There is some sort of process that you have to do when you first get comcast internet service that gets you setup on their network. I believe it registers the MAC address of your cable modem. If the lights are not lit up(this is where you need to refer to your cable modem manual to see what lights indicate problems), then you may need to go through this process or check with Comcast.
In my case I had a CD from comcast in the Startup Package, had to connect cable modem to my PC via USB(what a freaking pain), and then go through the software's wizard to get setup on their network. This also installs some junk on my computer like a usb driver. Additionally, I had a computer with two network cards, and the software would not work correctly on it(kept choosing the wrong network card. I had to actually remove one of the cards, and then go through the wizard.
2) You should be able to connect the cable modem directly to your computer via CAT5, to see if you can get an itnernet connection that way first. This will at least verify that you can get on the internet before you intreduce all the other variables of the router. If you can't get on this way.

Remote and IR Problem

A rather odd and annoying problem has recently been occuring on my MBP. A couple days ago my remote (after working without fail for over a year now) suddenly stopped working. Yesterday night and this morning it started working again but after a while it stopped again. I've read dozens of support articles which haven't really helped because there seems to be another problem.
Most articles have stated that there is an option to disable the IR receiver in the "security" window under system preferences. When the IR and remote are not working this option disappears but when they are working the option is present. I have also tried replacing the battery without any result.
I am now thinking that it might have something to do with heat buildup because it is mainly occuring after the laptop has been on for about a half hour, so I am going to try to borrow someone's fan.
If anyone has any suggestions to solve this I would appreciate it if you could help. Thanks!

HP Officejet pro 8610 and laptop wont communicate

Trying to setup new printer to print wirelessly. Printer and laptop are both connected to the same wireless device but the laptop cant find the printer. Disabled firewall and tried all the things listed under troubleshooting. Any help would be appreciated

It could be that the 'same wireless device' you mentioned in your post is preventing the communication. Some routers segment the network and isolate clients. It the device you are using is doing that the laptop will not see the printer. If you reply back please give us the brand and model of the wireless device you are using to connect the printer to the laptop.
You could try the Print and Scan Doctor. It might be able to check the laptop for settings that get in the way.

I cannot connect to the login page of my banking websites for Firefox but can from IE also firefox does not close when I shut it down I have just done a clean instal of windowsws7 and teh problem persists on reinstall of FF3.6.13

I can connect with my banking websites but the login page will not come up. This is a recent occurrence and I have done virus scans and have also recently done a clean instal of Windows 7. The problem persists. I can connect to any other website with no problems. When I close FF it appears to close and Task manager shows as not running but it will not reopen. If I attempt to uninstall I am told that FF is running and needs to be closed. I have to reboot to get to close and be able to reopen.
I can connect to the bank sites with IE. However I really don't like IE.

I don't have an answer, but I experienced the same problems trying to set up an airport express to route traffic to my stereo.
Apple Extreme router, iMac and laptop all worked just fine for months, upon installing Airport Express (step by step, according to instructions), all **** broke loose. Airport Utility was unable to see my Airport Extreme router, after hours of rebooting computer, cable modem, router, and finally a hard reset of the Airport Extreme router, it is finally recognized by Airport Utility again.
Recreated network, iMac connects to the internet just fine, laptop (Macbook Air) connects to the network just fine, but will not connect to the internet. Network diagnostics does not help, it gets to the "do you have a router? If so, reboot" stage, and never seems to see the router.
Any suggestions?

WRT54GS and poor performance?

I've owned a WRT54GS for about 3 months, and I simply can't get any faster than 1/2 of the 54mbps standard, let alone even see the speedboost capability.
I have 3 laptops, two of which have the speedboost (afterburner) chips built in. But even the 3rd laptop *never* goes past %50 of 54mbps. I get to 24mbps, and there it sits.
Any ideas?
Message Edited by tfry on 02-18-2008 02:00 PM

It seems that you need to update your routers software. Anyway, if you are online hardwired to your router. Try going to www.linksys.com/connect. Download the software called Easylink Firmware Tool. Just run this software and hopefully this should assist you in upgrading your routers firmware.
If this would not work, or would fail to upgrade your router, you might need to do it manually instead. Go to www.linksys.com/downloads . Input your product model number w/c is WRT54GS and select your router version. You can find the actual version underneath the router itself on one of the stickers. Just like the image below.
Select the data labeled firmware and just save it to the main desktop page. Then open up a new web browser, type on the address bar now the numbers 192.168.1.1 (password as a default is usually admin, username just leave it blank). Then follow the instructions on the image below.
Click on browse, select the file you just downloaded, click on open and then hit the upgrade button.
NOTE: Make sure you do all of these on a hardwired PC.
