WRT54G IP conflict

Running ipconfig shows my IP as 192.168.2.102, see below:

On the Status-Router page of the WRT54G admin, it shows my IP as 192.168.1.97, see below. Could this be the source of the CONNECTION PROBLEMS I've been having?

What is the exact model and version of your router?
What's your dsl modem? the address on the status page of your router which is 192.168.1.97 is actually the address of your dsl modem: your modem actually is what we call as a modem-router) semi-acting routers.
Try setting the modem into bridge mode by doing that it will propely syncronize your modem to your router. and if the same problem exist>< try setting a static ip and dns on 1 of your computer that you always get the ip address conflict.

WRT54G Vista conflicts

Anyone have problems similar to mine?
Hello,
I bought two new Dell computers with Vista Home and Home Premium installed in February. I have had on going problems with communicating with the remote computer which has the printer wired to it. Using Wireless WRT54G router. Intermittantly loses connection to internet, just comes back by itself. Bigger problem is printing via the router is problematic. When using Word 2003, can't print. Printer set-up get's deleated. When I try to re-install the printer, the system hangs. At times, something happens and I can't access the remote computer at all--says I don't have permission or some such. In a few days it will magically start working again for not apparent reason. Another wierd problem....AFTER completing a print job, the print processes take on a life of their own and the CPU usage grows to 100% freezing the computer!
I have narrowed this down to Linksys, because the remote computer does not have these problems, which is connected via USB to the printer. Only the computer using the wireless router has these problems.
Eventhough Linksys says the router is compatible with VISTA, I think they've missed something, and there is still a conflict! HELP! LINKSYS, CAN YOU HEAR ME????

I am having a similar problem I have found the cd (setup wizard 6.0) that comes with the router not to work as it did on XP. I cannot get into safe surfing due to a conflict with symantec and Norton that I received pre loaded on my pc. I completly deleted all Norton and the update program to get the router working, still the conflict exists. I set up a wireless password on my network settings and now my internet works half the time. for now I have completly disconnected it and am using another router without wireless. Unsure of how to resolve this, it was a easy simple set up on XP.

Troubling finding my version (model is a WRT54GS) and conflicting post

Alright from what I've read I'm supose to look under my router for the model number. I've done that and what I saw was "WRT54GS" with no version number. "WRT54GS" is what is on the model and documentation that came with the router so I'm thinking that's the true model name.
However when I look at the FCC ID I see the following. "WRT54GV2". This is what is throwing me off. Now when I go to the view the router settings I see in the upper right hand corner the following "Firmware Version: v2.07.1". Firmware docuemnts say that the inital release for v1 had firmware v2.06.1 and after that was v2.07.1.
Now last thing I want to do is install the wrong firmware and screw things up. I'm thinking that the model I have is version 1 of the WRT54GS series but the FCC ID is throwing me off as no "version number" is viewable on the hardware itself. Now the FCC ID number could be related to the initial software that is installed on the hardware which links to the v.2.07.1 number I"m getting but I'm not sure. Should I just ignore the FCC ID number and focus on the model number (which has no version text near it or anywhere else on the machine)?
Thanks.

Nevermind, figured it was the version 1.0 based on the serial number after looking at a wikipedia entry. Installed the correct firmware and things seem to be working.
I think that article which is here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WRT54G is a better way for people to figure out which version they have then looking at the other numbers on the machine. Going by the first four letters and numbers of the serial.

WRT54GS Wireless Bridge.

Hey.
First post here.
Have been doing alot of google searching trying to find a solution to a problem im having but dont seem to find any solid answers so thought id ask here.
What im trying to is this:
I have our main router ( BT Business Hub ) which has 3 ethernet cables running from it...
- One to our main computer ( direct link )
- One to our secondary computer ( direct link at around 30m away )
- One connected to a Linksys WRT54GS ( v7 Firmware at 80m away )
Currently we can use the internet on the main computer and through any laptops connected to the Bt Business Hub. We can also use the internet through any laptops connected to the WRT54GS but am unable to connect to the internet through the secondary computer.
I believe this i caused by the WRT54GS conflicting with something.
I now understand that i need to install some third party firmware to enable wireless bridge mode on the router.
Can someone explain where i need to start in order to get this all working?
And can someone confirm i will be able to connect wirelessly to the WRT54G after enabling wireless bridge mode?
Im sorry if that was a bit confusing..
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

From how I understand the situation, the only computer that cant access the internet is the secondary computer, right?
I don't think that WRT54GS is conflicting with "something" because you can access the internet from it. So it must be the secondary computer that has an issue.
Is DHCP enabled in the main router?

By default, Windows Vista uses NTVLM2 for authentication when attempting to map network drives to a Samba network share, such as your Home or Website share on Datastore01.
This problem can be resolved by making a change in the Windows Vista registry. The necessary change switches Windows Vista's authentication policy from "NTVLM2 responses only" to "LM and NTLM - use NTLMV2 session security if negotiated."
Try this and let me know if it works.

[WRT54G v.5] Cannot setup VPN to work due to IP conflict

Hi,
I am completely ignorant about routers and networking and I've tried to read through threads that seem related to my problem but didn't find a solution. So I will try to give as much information as I can and hopefully someone can help me out!
Router: WRT54G v5, Firmware v1.01.0, Default Gateway: 192.168.2.1
VPN Client Software: Check Point VPN-1 SecuRemote, NG with Application Intelligence R56 HFA-03 (Build 619)
Situation: PCs at work have IP addresses starting with 192.168.*, which conflicts with the IP address assign to my home PC
Thanks in advance for any input here!

How have you configured your router before if it is using 192.168.2.1?
Connect to the web-based interface of the router. The default address is http://192.168.1.1/ but if you have changed it it would be http://192.168.2.1/ for you. It will ask for a username and password. The default password is "admin" there (no username) but I hope you have changed it before. If not, this would be a good time to do it...
The setup page appears in the browser. Somewhere in the middle of the screen is the Network Setup section where you define the Local IP Address of the router and the subnet mask. Change the local IP address to whatever base address you like... save the settings... done.
For further configuration you must now point your browser to the new IP address obviously. If you are using DHCP on your computer you must renew the DHCP address. I guess a "Repair" of the network connection should do. If you have a static IP address you must change it that it is in the new LAN. After your computer has a proper IP address in the new LAN it can connect again to the router under the new IP address and it should also be able to use the internet connection of the router (or whatever else is connected on the internet port of the router)

WRT54G IP Address conflict...

After 3 sessions with Linksys live chat I have done everything suggested and nothing has worked. Here is the situation:
the router(WRT54G v.3 firmware 4.21.1) is working. I can connect to the internet through the router with my notebook(Windows XP Home SP2) using both wired and wireless connection. IP Addresses are:
wireless -- 192.168.1.101
wired -- 192.168.1.102
I can connect to the internet through the router with a second desktop (Windows XP Home SP2) using wired connection. IP Address is:
wired -- 192.168.1.103
I can NOT connect to the internet through the router using my primary desktop(Windows Vista Home Premium SP1). What I have discovered by checking the windows event log, is this:
The system detected an address conflict for IP address 75:65:84:74 with the system having network hardware address 00-13-10-94-A3-17. Network operations on this system may be disrupted as a result.
Here is the result of ipconfig /all: (with router OUT of the system)

The router does NOT have a working internet connection when connected to that particular pc.
SO... how do I fix this conflict with IP Addresses? All of the resetting & powering off & on & etc.... hasn't changed anything.

WRT54G firmware Mac DHCP conflict

I updated my WRT54G version 6 to firmware version 1.01.0 and (after 2 days when things worked fine) lost the ability for any of my 3 Mac computers (intel iMac and pismo powerbook) to get an IP address either by wired connection or wireless connection to the router. My Windows laptop connected just fine by wired and wireless connections. The Macs could see the router if manually set to IP 192.168.1.50, but did not get an IP address if set to DHCP. No amount of resetting router, modem and computers helped. I reflashed 1.01.0 using the PC but that did not help. I flashed back to firmware 1.00.9 and immediately got back wired and wireless connections with all of the Macs. There are at least three other reports of people solving exactly the same problem posted in the Apple discussion boards with other Mac models.

How Do I Configure A WRT54G to Work With A Cisco 2800 Router

I'm helping my dad set up a new network. He has a Cisco 2800 series router that connects to the internet via two T1 lines. From this connection, he supplies internet service to his customers. The router was installed and configured with help from AT&T who monitors the router and advises my dad if there are problems.
The Cisco 2800 is not my reason for posting.
He wants to connect his home computers to the 2800. He has one desktop and two wireless laptops and wants to use a WRT54G to connect those computers to the 2800 router. How should he configure the WRT54G to connect to the 2800?
Thanks!

That's what I thought. So it is really no different than connecting the WRT to a DSL modem or cable modem as far as the setup goes. Good then.
Now, next question;
Would this network setup be correct?
Connect a 5-port switch to the 2800
Connect the WRT54G to the 5-port switch.
Configure the laptops to connect throught the WRT54G.
Connect the desktop (Ubuntu 9.10) to the 5-port switch via Ethernet cable (bypass the WRT54G).
Would there be IP conflicts or domain problems? I ask this because this is how his LAN is presently setup and he seems to be getting random connectivity problems on his Ubuntu desktop machine. One day it works fine. The next day it won't connect. Sometimes, even after he is connected, it stop works midstream. It also takes 10 minutes or so to boot up. The laptops always work without issue.
The two laptops would be issued IP addresses of 192.168.1.xxx but the desktop would be getting 12.83.xxxx.xx(something similar). The desktop's internet IP would receive its internet IP from the 2800 via DHCP just like the WRT54G is receiving its IP from the 2800. The two would essentially be on different LANs connected to the same router. Do you forsee any issues here?
Thanks!

WRT54G wireless - but not on more than one device at time- and now not at all

Since changing internet providers we have had major issues with our router and trying to get the wireless to work with more than one computer at a time. I am gathering it's an IP address conflict, we have had this message pop up sometimes-- but am not sure how to go about fixing it. I have a linksys WRT54G, 6 weeks out of warrenty ( I tried to call for support and was told they would *gladly* help me for $30-$40-- which really bugs me as this was the first time I EVER called. We should be allowed at least one free call no matter how long out of warrenty- end rant )
Anyway-- I have two laptops, Netflix via WII, and an I-touch. For awhile, one computer could access wireless, sometimes both would, sometimes none would- as has been the problem in the last couple of days. It seems one computer would be more consistent in "grabbing" access- don't know if this is important to know or not:)) I tried to look to see if his computer had a static ip address - but couldn't find any info to support that theory...
I doubt it is a router failure as it was working fine with the previous interent provider- but now it is not-- I have tried to reset the router and reconfigure via the webbased setup pages. Nothing I am trying is working, not real surprising-- as I really don't know what I am doing--
I don't think it is the internet provider as internet access works fine hardwired trhough the modem via the router...
Can someone ** please** help walk me through this??
thanks
Tammy

Thanks for the reply-- The issue has been solved.....
I found an online manual and was in the process of reinstalling the wrt54g cd - starting over from the beginning. I felt since it started only after we switched ISPs , that it must have been a config problem and turns out it was.... The manual said to ask ISP for settings. I tried to do that 3 weeks ago and the tech support for ATT was unhelpful.
So I tried calling ATT again today for the proper settings for the router. The tech was fantastic. She walked me through everything -- so now I have wireless PCs, netflix and Itouch again, yea!! It was not the router, but trying to get the modem and the router to communicate with each other....
Thanks for trying

Connecting Airport Express (n) to WRT54G via ethernet

I am using Airport Express (n) currently and would like to connect to Blu-ray player with ethernet for netflix streaming. But as we all know, the AX has only one ethernet port. I have an old linksys' WRT54G. Is it possible to use this as a part of network without loosing the advantage of Wireless N network? My idea is to go from Cable modem to WRT54G, and WRT54G's LAN PORT out to AX. WRT54G and AX will be connected via ethernet so that it doesn't lose the advantage of the N network.
And Blu-Ray player will be connected to WRT54G via ethernet.
Can someone tell me if this works and if so, how do you configure each device so that you don't have ip address conflict or any other problem. Thank you.

Certainly that will work. Since they are connected via Ethernet, the wireless clients of the WRT54G will have no effect on the wireless clients of the AX.
The WRT54G will provide a 802.11b/g network while the AX can provide an 802.11n network.
The AX should be configured to create a wireless 802.11n network and it should be configured to act as a bridge (not sharing a single IP address).

How do I configure WRT54G as a wireless access point?

Ater a whole series of problems related to Vista, a WAP54G, Airport xpress, wireless printers, etc. plus at least three hours on the phone with Linksys tech support acessing my computer remotely and still not fixing the problems, I dumped my WRT54GC for a Belkin-N router. I set it up over the weekend and slowly regained internet access, then the pinter, then the Airports.
I still would like to have an access point because my signal strength even with the new N router is too weak downstairs to allow my PS3 to connect to it. I cannot figure out how to configure the WAP54G to make it work. I want to take a shot with the WRT54GC. From what I've read, I should be able to do it.
I can get into the router (referring to the Linksys) no problem. I can reconfigure it to an extent, changing the IP address to the recommended 192.168.1.2. I do this by running an ethernet cable from my PC to the router. Howver, after changing the IP address in the router I can't get into it any more using the new IP address. When I attach teh Linksys router to the Belkin I can't get in either.
Both the Linksys and the Belkin use 192.168.1.1 as the default IP address for each device.
I would like to know what settings I need to change i nteh WRT54G to turn it ino an access point -- an extenson of my existing network with teh Belkin router attached to the Comcast modem. I have looked at various how-to's and they all seem to assume I am connecting the two routers with an ethernet cable. If it's not clear at this point, I'd like to connect them wirelessly.
Thanks.

Thanks so much for the reply.
I was working with it all last night and somethign strange happened. After reading some other info on the internets, I changed the IP address on the WRT to 192.168.2.1. It updated, I then ran the wire from the Belkin to the WRT, I typed in 192.168.2.1, it took me to the Linksys setup page, but when I clicked "wireless" in the WRT setup, it took me to the Belkin setup page. How in the world did that happen?
Armed with tis new info, I did a hard reset on the WRT -- assuming it would change the WRT back to 192.168.1.1 -- got into the setup, turned off DHCP, left the IP as .1.1, and then wired it again into the Belkin. I can now get into the setup of either one.
Here's the thing: I don't want the two routers wired together. I want to move the WRT downstairs so a PS3 can pick up the signal. I want the WRT to wirelessly relay that signal to the Belkin to get the PS3 onto the net. I can't run a wire from the Belkin to the WRT.
I've read conflicting reports about whether the WRT can do this. Other sites suggest adding 3rd party firmware to add that functionality but that will definitely push the bounds of my abilities and likely exceed them. So, can the WRT even function in this way?
Inre the WAP, I don' know why but my ability to access the setup menu via 192.168.1.245 is very hit or miss -- much miss than hit. It makes no sense unless there is a bad connection somewhere because I hard reset, wire it to my laptop, put in the IP, and time out 19 times out of 20. I've got the MAC address for the router, and I think I know I want it to function as a repeater, but I've not been able to get that working right eihter.
Thanks for any further reply.

WRT54G and Windows 7

I have a WRT54G v6 with the most up-to-date firmware installed. I upgraded to Windows 7 and this is what is happening: The computer can be OFF, and all my devices (iPod touch, laptop) can get on my network and everything works fine on those devices. I turn on the computer that the router is attached to, and a few seconds after the Windows 7 welcome screen appears, I can no longer surf the internet on my devices (nor the computer). It's almost as if Windows 7 is blocking my router. Like I said, the computer can be OFF and my internet works fine. Turn Windows 7 on, and everything quits. I have to unhook and bypass the router and just have my cable modem go straight to my computer in order to get on the internet.
What do I need to do to Windows 7 to allow me to use the router?

When your Windows 7 computer is attached to the Router, and turned On, have you checked the IP address? It might be happening because your Computer and the Routers IP address are in the same range, and due to IP conflict you might be facing these problem.
Make sure your Windows 7 Computer is not assign with a Static IP, If its assign static IP then remove the Static IP from your Computer.
If required you can setup a Static IP on your Windows 7 computer. IP Address :- 192.168.1.20, Subnet Mask :- 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway :- 192.168.1.1.Use DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses you took note off of the router status tab as Primary DNS & Secondary DNS..
I think these should fix your Problem.

IP Address Conflict

I am using a linksys wrt54gs router, a wre54g range expander and a wusb200 wireless adapter, there is only one computer on the network and it's set to a static IP address. Could someone please explain to me how I'm getting an IP address conflict with another system on the network?
Please?
I've already been through linksys phone support.
Twice.

Please list all the static LAN IP addresses that you are using on your network. Also, if you are not using the default DHCP server range of 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149 , then please state your DHCP server range.
Is your WRE54G, using the default fixed LAN IP address of 192.168.1.240 ?
Assuming that your addresses are all correct, then the next most likely cause for your problem is that your computer is connecting both to your router, and to your WRE54G, and the WRE54G is in turn forwarding the connection to the router. The router sees the direct connection and the connection through the WRE54G and interprets this as two connections with the same LAN IP address.
If this is the case, I would suggest that you try to eliminate the WRE54G. It sounds like your wireless computer can connect directly to your router. If you can connect, but not well, use the HGA7T high gain antennas on your WRT54GS, instead of the WRE54G.
A third way to get an address conflict is if your neighbor has set his computer to a fixed LAN IP address, and he is also connecting to your network. In this case, secure your wireless network.

Lost username for WRT54GS, resetting router doesn't seem to restore defaults

I lost username for WRT54GS so I tried resetting as per instructions, holding down reset key for 30 seconds, but can't log in using 'admin' and blank password, which I understand is factory default, and which should have been restored on reset--right? I have reset the router at least 3 times, always making sure I push reset key in for 30 seconds. That's the simplest to explain of two related problems.
On a second computer on same network, I have no Internet access at all, and if I try to get to the router it says it can't find 192.168.1.1. Since I can access the Internet on computer #1, and also have a voice over IP device hooked up to router that is also working, I assume this problem is on computer #2 and not the router EXCEPT--how does this relate to the problem stated for computer #1?
Before this particular way of acting, computer #2 was announcing that there was an IP address conflict. It doesn't say that now, it just can't connect to anything. What's odd is that if I display network connections on computer #2, the Linksys connection shows and displays strong signal exactly as it does on computer #1, so obviously computer #2 can 'see' the router, but clicking 'Connect' on the wireless network connections window doesn't work, it simply won't connect. I tried setting up network again but that didn't clear the problem.
I have a great suspicion this has to do, at least in part, with IP addresses but don't know where to go from here.
I appreciate detailed step by step instructions because I am a novice at this. Brave but ignernt.

Actually, its the other way around, blank username and admin for the password.
