WRT54G Failure to access setup menu

Having an issue accessing my setup menu for my WRT54G wireless router. IP 192.168.1.1 times out and ipconfig/all from the command prompt reveals a different IP. I've tried logging in through the listed default gateway but that times out as well. I reset my WRT54G but I continue to time out. I have had this router connected to my DSL modem for some time with no trouble.
I wanted to check my setup menu because one of my laptops stopped connecting. I never got to troubleshoot that problem due to setup access problem. Only change to system is that the PC was moved today so power was disconnected to all devices. I'm still able to connect to internet via PC. I've power cycled all the devices multiple times with no fix.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

ridcully has a good suggestion here, worked for me

Can't Access Setup Menu For WRT54G

I am having problems accessing my wrt54g's setup menu. I went to the cammand prompt and it said the ip address was 192.168.1.1, but when I go into IE and type that in, it doesn't connect. I have accessed it before but it's not working now. Any suggestions?

try this:
click on <tools>, go to <internet options>, go to <security tab> click on <curtom level button>, scroll down and at the very bottom make sure that "automatic log-on with curent username and password" is selected... click ok and try opening http://192.168.1.1 again in the browser's adress bar.. if not, go to RUN, type in the open field http://192.168.1.1 ,click ok and that should do it...

Brpwser does not display router setup menu

I have my laptop connected by cable, and have tried to access the router's setup menu with Internet Explorer 6 and firefox. I enter the password admin and the browser displays a web page with the following text
name="router_name" size="20" value='WRT54G'
value="mixed" selected>
I want to change the wireless channel for my desktop which is connected with a wireless linksys pci card. I even disabled the laptop's wireless connection and the windows firewall.
Has anyone encountered this problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Please make sure that the computer that you're using to access the router's setup page has no firewall (I mean to say firewall should be turned off, anti-virus, zonealarm and other security softwares). Make sure that you've cleared the cache as well (open an Internet explorer browser>on the top part of the page select tools>internet options>hit delete cookies, files and clear history)... Try another computer too. If ever none works, it might be necessary to upgrade the router's firmware.

Help - WRT54G v8 blank web setup screens

My new WRT54G works fine except that after accessing the web setup menus (via a wired connection) at some point I start getting blank screens. I'm still able to access the router (there's no timeout error), but all of the pages, including ones I've been able to access before, are blank.
Internet access to other sites continues to work fine. Power cycling or resetting the router makes the problem go away temporarily, but it always comes back when I access a large number (10-20 typically) of the router setup pages.
I've tried restarting the browser, using a different browser, clearing the arp table on my pc, releasing/renewing DHCP, and reflashing the router firmware.
Has anyone seen this before? Any suggestions?

WRT54G V8 with 8.00.0 firmware

I've checked the IP settings and they're O.K. I'm using a static IP address. Everything works fine for a while. I can access the net, I can access my LAN, and (initially) I can access the router setup pages.
The problem starts when I browse from page to page on the setup menu. After ~10-20 pages, they start showing up blank. The pages continue to load, there's just nothing in them. Examining the html shows they are empty, not just not being loaded. Surfing to other pages on the net or the LAN continues to work just fine.
It sounds weird, but if anyone has seen this, they'll know what I'm talking about.
Update: Search this forum for "blank page" or "blank pages" and you'll find quite a few users with similar problems. The only fix I've found is to power cycle the router, and that's just a temporary fix.Message Edited by cel on 05-01-200705:44 AM

Hard drive and dvd are not recognized in the setup menu, what could be wrong?

The hard drive and dvd drive are not recognized on the setup menu for my Pavilion a4316f desktop computer. Could it be a failure of the controller? Can a PCI controller be used to replace the mother board controller?
This question was solved.

The Recovery process would erase you hard drive, and attempt to install a fresh OS. Decidely a bad choice if you wanted to save your data files. The Recovery sets are "tattoo" with the BIOS hardwafre configuration. It will not, IMHO, recognize the PCI Sata card.
You mentioned the Recovery program on the hard drive actually requested the installer of the controller (PCI card). Try running from that.

Accessing Setup in Motorola QUIP 6416-2

I want to change the video options in my STB. I cannot access the setup menu for the STB. When I push the menu button, I get the FIOS menu not the STB menu.
How do I get to the STB setup menu?

there are two menus.
standard menu. You have to have a picture, and then press menu. it pops up. if you have the older four button remote, you might have to hit the STB button first, and then menu. what you are looking for is under, menu>settings>video settings.
2nd menu is a hidden menu. you have to be in a powered on state with a picture, and you press power select menu - not at the same time, but one at a time, about 1/2 second apart. use the front display not the remote to access this menu

BIOS setup menu is missing in my G580 after installing fedora....

Dear sir,
I bought a Lenovo G580 [59337032] laptop about a month ago.
It had no OS installed. I installed Fedora 17 in it.
But after installing Fedora, I can't be able to access the BIOS setup menu by pressing F2.
And also my boot order rearranged.
While pressing F12 during boot, the boot devices list appears.
But the first entry is Fedora, 2nd is Ethernet, 3rd is HDD, 4th is DVD drive.
I found a similar problem in this forum. But the solution [disconnect the HDD and press F2 during boot]
of that problem did not work in my case.
I also deleted the recovery partion of lenovo.
My BIOS version is 62CN34WW
How can I fix my BIOS?
Now my OS is Windows7.

Dear Sirs!
Have the absolutely same problem with one difference - installed OS was Ubuntu 9.04.
According to recomendation HDD mode was setted as "сompatible" (IDE). After rearranging
disk to 3 parts: /, /swap and /user/home and setting up system I have find that BIOS setup
are unaccessible and system won't boot up (Non system disk error).
From LiveCD and USB, both Ubuntu and Windows XP SP3 system boots and work fine,
HDD read/write accesible.
Local serviceman told, that they have no possibility to reprogram BIOS flash by themselves
and it will take 2-3 month to obtain new motherboard or whole laptop for exchange. This is
absolutely unacceptable for me, because my job depends on the health of the laptop.
Laptop Lenovo G580, BIOS version 62CN34WW
Thanks in advance for cooperation!

Disable Accessibility Setup Assistant?

I am using the Adobe Customization Wizard utility to create a transform file to then install Adobe Reader 11.0.0.x via a group policy. Upon first running the Reader after installing with the transform file the Accessibility Setup Assistant dialogue box appears. Is there a way to either disable this or preset the accessibility options to take the recommended settings and skip the setup process using the customization wizard?

Posted too soon, I found it.
It's under the Advanced option in the Bluetooth menu in system preferences.

I am trying to setup my new time capsule but it is not working. after entering the airport utility and locating the TC, after I tell the program to continue, the unit just disappear and the setup menu says there is an error. Any idea of what is happening?

I am trying to setup my new time capsule but it is not working. after entering the airport utility and locating the TC, after I tell the program to continue, the unit just disappear from the menu and the setup menu says there is an error. I tried using the wireless connection, and also the cable, but none worked. Any idea of what could be happening?

What are you setting it up as.. join wireless network .. the very worst setup, it will disappear.. reboot the whole network in order modem. router TC.. clients and it will likely reappear.
Tell us what network setup you are using..
If you setup with cable to a computer completely isolated from the network with TC also isolated.. finish the setup of everything you want. .before update.. then plug it into the network. .then restart everything in correct order.. it will work most of the time.

Can no longer access my menu on Zen Neeon

I have upgraded to the .009 firmware so now my zen neeon loads quicker and skips tracks quicker but now when I press the scroll button to access the menu nothing happens except it resets to the first track on my player.
I've tried resetting my player. I've created playlists which I can't access. I just can't get to my menu!!!!
Do I need to do a recovery mode rescue?

Thanks for the reply Edmeister. All the tabs take a moment attempting to load, then the Inbox Preview screen pops up. I have even uninstalled FF and reinstalled it. I've checked my settings even though I've made no changes in months. Again, the mail box has never had a problem until about 2 weeks ago. Fortunately, I can retrieve my mail through my old Eudora program and do the house keeping through IE8. Just wish I knew what has changed, i.e., my fault or a program.
Thanks again.

Can't access Power Menu at all in Windows 8.1

Hi. I'd really like a fix for this as it's driving me crazy.
I used to be able to access this menu by the usual keyboard shortcut of Win+X. For some time now (perhaps since the 8.1 upgrade), nothing pops up when I try it. I thought perhaps Windows 8.1 was different, but after doing some research, I realise that
the keyboard shortcut hasn't changed and I can't access it by right clicking the Start button either. Again nothing pops up - no menu whatsoever. :(
Please help!

You may try a System Restore.Select any restore point when there was no such problem.
You may try a Clean Boot.
You may try ShellExView utility.

I've bought a new remote for my apple TV and now I can't access the menu

I just bought a new remote for my Apple TV since I lost the original one. Now I cannot access the menu as all I get is the standard "screen saver". Even then, sometimes it won't even turn on, so I have to unplug it and wait two minutes and then plug it back in. Regardless if I do that or not...........the best I ever get is the screen saver.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

Attempted to alter security settings and the result is that password no longer works. Tried CMD R but mouse inoperative and cannot access top menu for utilities

I tried to alter security settings resulting in rejection of my password. Tried booting using CMD R but non operating mouse pad means I cannot access top menu to select "utilities"

jmcg60,
which security settings did you try to alter? Do you have a USB mouse that you could use in place of your non-operating trackpad?

Looking for webgui _ easy _ access _ menu parameter in v7

Hello,
We're using ITS with v7.
On 6.2 there was a profile parameter called ~webgui _ easy _ access _ menu, setting it to 0 controlled the easy access screen. Where can I find it in v7?
Rgds,
Roy

Hello Roy,
I'm failing to understand what the goal is. But generally system administrators like to limit the access users have. When the webgui service is used there is the possibility that users can gain access to a transaction that was not intended. This can be avoided a few ways. The first is to turn off the okcode field, this can be done with note 1010519. The next way is to use a session that is opened for a valid purpose, but then changing the transaction, this can be avoided with note 959417.
From the Portal an iView basically creates a URL to call the ITS. Sometimes the URL is:
http://host:port/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui?~transaction=xxx
sometimes the transaction is also a service so the URL would be:
http://host:port/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/pz02?...
In your case you just want the SAP Easy Access Menu suppressed. From my understanding the only time the SAP Easy Access Menu is displayed by default is when there is no ~transaction and the webgui service is called (basically the first Portal iView example without the transaction portion) or when using the webgui service and the user uses the "up" or "back" button to end the transaction. If it is the first case then my workaround (transaction=S000) is valid. If it is the second case that you're trying to avoid then maybe you should look into note 959417 and 1010519 from my above comment.
