Wrt54g install help

router: wrt54g V5
OS: Vista
hey guys, i bought this router about a year ago and have lost the original install CD as well as the instructions. I never installed it due to the operating system that was being run at the time. Now I have a new computer with Vista and need to know what order to install things in.
Things like:
Should I install current firmware before connecting the router? or router first then firmware? I'm not real familiar with Vista so I dont know if it will try to download things automatically.
and will I be able to do this without the factory start up CD?
Thanks!

let me know the isp details? cable or dsl?
Linksys Setup CD said "Use Win XP or better"
So i installed Linux

WRT54G install HELP needed

I bought the WRT54G so I could go wireless in the house. I run the CD and it goes "do you want to replace your existing router or keep it?" Near as I know I DON'T HAVE ONE but that isn't an option, so which do I pick? There should be a "do you simply have a modem plugged into your PC and bought this go to wireless?" type option (something I'm betting is extremely common). Also, once you select one, you cannot go back and change your mind...you have to exit the program and start over. Which of these cryptic options do I choose??
(Mod note: Edited post for guideline compliance. Thanks!)

Disregard - got help from an online tech spt.
FWIW that install CD needs work, as it was detecting a router that doesn't exist and the tech spt explained that sometimes it is known not to work properly.
PS: in the interests of hopefully saving someone else the time and hassle I went thru, here are the steps I was given which worked fine:
1. Connect the PC to the port one of the router then restart it. (This PC should be the one that can get online if directly connected to the modem).
2. Go to your desktop and double click on Internet Explorer or any browser(Located on the Start Menu in Windows XP).
3. When the browser opens, type http://192.168.1.1 on the Address bar and click on Go or press the Enter key. The log-in window will appear.
4. Skip User Name and type admin on the Password field, and click OK.
5. Configure the wireless settings. Click on the Wireless tab and have these:
Wireless Configuration: Manual
Wireless Network Mode: Mixed
Wireless Network Name (SSID): Bill/Anything that you would want to name your network.
Wireless Channel: 1
Wireless SSID Broadcast: Enable
Save the settings.
6. To secure your wireless network, Please click on the Wireless security sub-tab that is still under the Wireless tab and change the Security mode to WEP and have these:
Default Transmit Key: 1
WEP Encryption: 64 bits 10 hex digits
Skip the Passphrase field. Do not click on the "Generate" button.
Enter any 10-digit value in the Key 1 box. (You may use all numbers but you can only use letters A to F. No dashes or slashes and special characters). This will be your WEP key (MINE: ssn123123)
Leave Key boxes 2-4 blank or empty.
Save the settings.
7. Click on the Setup tab, then click on the MAC Address Clone sub tab, enable it and click on "Clone your PC's MAC" then save the settings.
8. On the Setup Tab --> Basic Setup sub-tab, look for the LAN IP which is 192.168.1.1.
9. Change the IP address to 10.10.10.1 then save the settings.
10. Connect the modem to the router's Internet port and wired PCs to the router's numbered ports.
11. Power cycle. To do a power cycle, please power off the computer, the router and then the modem. After 2 minutes, power on the modem, the router and then, lastly, the computers. Wait for the lights to stabilize before plugging the next device.

"Application wants to install Helper". Is this genuine?

A box keeps appearing saying Application wants to install Helper and asking for my password to access the hard drive. It just doesn't feel right to me and I wonder if it is genuine. Would be grateful for any advice.

Like an idiot, I actually entered my password, Safari crashed, and now it won't open. Sad thing is, I knew it wasn't genuine but was in the middle of a deadline and just was trying to make the window go away. Now every time I relaunch Safari is closes unexpectedly and won't reopen. Help please. Is this malware?

CS5.5 install help!

I have just purchased CS5.5 but installation will not work (I've tried 5 times!). I have disabled my anti-virus, and my firewall and there are no previous versions on my PC! I have even deleted other Adobe products in case that was the problem. Any suggestions gratefully received as I'm really frustrated!!! Cannot get through to Adobe on the phone either!

Thank you very much! I will try the links below.
Unfortunately it is very hard to get in touvh with Adobe! The phone number for Australia is disconnected (if you have an Australian phone number for support I would be very grateful!!!)...and even the Education support number I tried the other day won't answer - have been on hold for 2 x 20minutes with no one answering! And the "chat" option...I've sat and waited for an operator to be available for ages...no operators available!
I have disabled my anti-virus, and firewall, checked that I have all the appropriate plug-ins ie. Java, Quicktime etc and my computer is brand new, Windows 7 with no previous version of Creative Suite! I have no idea what I'm doing wrong!!!
Regards,
Sarah

WRT54G - Pls Help

I have a Linksys WRT54G and I'm having a strange problem. It will work fine on my desktop (which is Windows XP) but on the laptop (which is brand new and Vista) it'll work fine for awhile, but then some sites won't work. When it turn it on in the morning, everything's fine again, until a few hours later, when it will start screwing up again. I'm fairly sure that I didn't install it right (when I put the cd in it says unable to connect) - PLEASE help - I'm a freelance writer and need access to my computer.

Try changing the Advanced Wireless setings.
Beacon Interval : 50
RTS Threshold : 2304
Frag. Threshold : 2304
Regarding Vista, there are no specific settings on the router.
Try upgrading the firmware on the router.
Reset the router.
Reconfigure. Hope its work.

WRT54G installed, LAN unreachable

Hi,
I've just installed a WRT54G (which replaced my Intel Wireless/PRO 5000) and now I am unable to reach my LAN.
Setup:
Internet -> FW -> 10 port router -> WRT54G -> 2 laptops
The 10 port router also has several PC's and servers connected (fixed).
I was able to use RDP, Ping, Windows Network Browsing, Drive sharing, etc. It all worked fine until I connected the WRT54G. Surfing from the laptops goes fine, but I cannot get access to my LAN. Read the documentation, searched this forum, searched on the internet, triend several options (port forwarding etc), but to no avail...
NAT is disabled, and I've tried to set the WRT54G to 'Router' which caused to disable internet access via the laptops?? Now it's back to 'Gateway'.
Any help greatly appreciated!!
R,
A
Edit: changed nothing to firewall or network settings, laptops are XP Pro and Vista Home. WRT54G version 7.00.1. I am convinced it's a WRT54G issue, since that's the only thing that changed in my setup.
Message Edited by thuur on 07-16-2007 05:03 PM

Ok, your tip caused network outage for one and a half hour...
(Because I accidentally disabled DHCP on my firewall.... *cough*)
My findings:
1. I was unable to connect to the WRT54G using a direct cable?? Via WLAN 'linksys', after the reset, I was able to connect again..
2. MAC address on the bottom of the WRT54G *DOES NOT MATCH* the actual MAC!! It says '22' on the end, while it is '23'!! Anyway, hardcoded in my firewall now.
3. Setting it up the way you described left me without wireless internet connection :-(
4. Setting the WRT54G on Static IP (was that what you meant?) shows several IP addresses that have to be entered. I got a lot of error messages like 'LAN domain is the same as WAN' and 'IP address such may not be equal to such'. Still, my network really is configured that way and it always worked like a charm. I really miss good documentation on the 'Static IP' page.
Anyway, after fiddling around for 2,5 hours: IT WORKS !!!
I just hate that I don't know what's different..... DHCP is enabled again on the WRT54G, and I gave it a fixed IP. The rest is unchanged afaik.
So, all that's left is a big thank you :-)
R,
A
edit: My firewall is also a DHCP server for the green zone, and I am just a Computer Programmer, so don't think I'm a network expert ;-)

WRT54GS Need Help

Hi, I'm currently using a new Dell computer with a cable modem and Linksys router, WRT54GS with speed booster. The main computer is hard wired to the router and I have internet . I have been trying to connect to the internet on my other wireless Dell computer which is using a USB network adapter #WUSB54GS. My wireless icon on the wireless computer shows an excellent connection, but I cannot connect to the internet. I have spent several hours on line with the Linksys Technicians trying to solve this problem. I was told that the router was a problem and I have returned it for a new one. Both computers are using windowsXP. Does anyone have a clue? Could it b e the new computer or modem preventing the wireless from getting connected to the internet?
skihouse

no...the modem cannot prevent the wireless getting connected to the internet..as one of your computers is already online through the router, that means the modem and the router are functioning.....it could be the adapter that is not installed correctly...
as you have windows xp, try this :
uninstall the adapter completely and install only the drivers....allow windows to manage the wireless connection...also ensure that you do not have any static ip assigned to that computer..
let me know if it helps you....

Wrt54g installation help

hi, i have just upgraded new windows vista home premium from windows xp. i tried to install my purchased linksys wrt54g ver 6 router. and as i install i keep getting this error message.
The instruction at 0x0043cf50 reference memory at 0x00000091 keep showing up,
if possible can someone please help me fix this and sucessfully install the router so i can go online from my computer. thanks in advance,

The problem may be in your Vista installation. Did you choose to upgrade your XP installation, or did you opt for a clean install?
A clean installation is preferred, as it will wipe out everything and start from scratch. Often, there may be problems when you are only upgrading on top of your old operating system.
The bottom line is your problem is likely not with the router.

WRT54G to WRT54G setup help

I have a DSL connection into the WRT54G (firmware v2...), which is then connected by Ethernet to the PC (Win2000). Works fine. Now I want to add a PC (XP) in the basement office and happen to have another WRT54G (firmware v1.02). So I run Ethernet into the second router (using port1, not Internet) from the basement computer. What do I need to set so the two routers "connect", allowing the basement computer to share the internet connection? Should the second router's Internet lights come on when it sees the first router? Thanks!

Honestly, I would suggest heading over to http://www.dd-wrt.com and browsing through the offerings on their table. I have two WRT54G's and a WRT54GS. One of the WRT54G's is used as my access point. the other two (the WRT54G and the WRT54GS) are used as client bridges. The DD-WRT v23 SP2 (08/04/06) std Edition of their firmware works EXCELLENTLY! I have it installed on all three of my routers. One of the routers (client bridge mode) is host to 4 computers, the other (client bridge mode) is host to another 3. All of which connect (nearly) transparently to the router I have in AP mode. simple set up too. upload new firmware, click the status tab (of the router you want to use as a client bridge) click site survey, then click connect. POOF! you have an instant and (once again, nearly) transparent bridge. In this mode however, the computers IP's will not be shown on the AP, only the (client bridge) routers IP and MAC. So take that into account when your setting up security. (such as MAC filtering and WEP.) Hope this helps. But keep in mind, As others warn you, you should listen. There is very little in the way of "live tech support" when you upload this third party firmware, AND you void the warranty if you use third party firmware. However, there IS E X T E N S I V E documentation on everything (and feature) provided with the firmware. (DD-WRT's Firmware at least, not sure about some of the others, Found the DD-WRT firmware, liked it, stuck with it) You'll also get some other features on the upgrade... such as how many dBi you wish to have. (WRT54X's are capable of up to -251mW, which is the = to 26dBi. however, you will need to add some heat sinks to accomplish this, as it WILL burn out your router. I wouldnt go above 70mW, in any case, as you begin to cause RF interference and violate FCC rules. Now, for the WRT54G that are V.5 and V.6, there is a special way to do this, and yes you STILL can upload third party firmware. Once again head over to www.dd-wrt.com and do some research. There IS a walkthrough for flashing the V.5 and V.6 of the WRT54G's (GS's) with their firmware. If this is information overload, then honestly you're better off getting a couple linksys WUSB54GP - Wireless-G Portable USB Adapters and using them instead. Good luck, and I hope this helped.

Itunes wont open and quicktime will not install. help?

someone please help. my itunes will not open since i preformed an update (it has not been updated for a few years). i have noticed i no longer have quicktime on my laptop but cant re-install. i get to the 'welcome to quicktime 7 installer' screen, press next and windows installer stops working. some one please help.
i am running windows vista.
many thanks

windows installer has stopped working
a problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is avabilable.
... and that's one that I wasn't thinking of ...
Head into your Windows Update. Are there any new updates available for you? If so, and you install, does that clear up the error message?
