WRT54G, looses connection to internet..

Hello, i have a problem wich i dont know if it is because of my router or my modem. I got ADSL. So i need your help how i can figure out what this depends on, what happens is that i loose connection quite often in like 30 seconds, then it works again.

Disconnect your router out of the equation and connect a computer straight to your modem, see if you loose the internet connection from your modem as well...
Do you loose the internet connection just on one computer or multiple computer's ?
Do you loose the Internet Connection on wired computer's or wireless computer's or both ?

  • How to Parameter WRT54GS to connect to Internet through Livebox-2 ?

    I intend to connect a network built around the WRT54GS to Internet by passing through a second network who is already connected to Internet through the Orange Livebox-2 (French).
    I have a traditional home network with basic shares on the French Orange Livebox-2 and its WiFi.
    The computers runs XP - Pro .
    My ADSL access is normally through the Livebox-2
    (Range of addresses 192.168.1.xxx) and I run DHCP
    Working Group "WORKGROUP".
    It works without problem (Internet and VoIP telephony) except the Wifi of the Livebox which is known as poor (range and stability).
    I also manages a small "pedagogical workshop" for the school who visit my mill.
    This network is available to my young visitors based on a (tower) server containing the libraries and teaching materials and its printer. It’s XP - Pro machine. and to allow a maximum of two laptops be WiFi connected.
    The second network is built around the Linksys router (wich integrates no modem, simply a router).
    The WRT54GS router (rev 6) whose firmware is original Linksys up to date.
    I am setting the two Wi-Fi (Livebox 6 Cnl) and Cnl 4 on WRT54GS and different keys (this is manageable without difficulty).
    It has its server DHCP and Wi-Fi to connect their machine.
    What about the name of this second network group ? Currently “WORKGROUP” as well.
    I am setting a range different on the router WRT54GS (192.168.2.xxx) and enabled the DHCP.
    This "educational" network works perfectly when alone and separated from the "home" network and doesn’t get connected to Internet…
    I want to connect this router Linksys WRT54GS rev6 cascading through the Livebox-2.
    Share Internet via the Livebox-2 access.
    What about functionality?
    What is the connection to setup ?
    Should it be simple physical connection with a cable between the yellow ethernet port "2" of the Liveboxbox and the "Internet" connector of the Linksys router?
    Is this a good track to explore? I have searched extensively on the Internet but found proposals who are very old and refer to old Livebox... I did test and is not satisfactory...
    I have described as well as possible the needs and the config!
    It is the experts to speak now !
    I am available for further information.
    HOW CAN I ACHIEVE THE INTER CONNECTIVITY?

    From what I understand, you want to extend your internet connection - from the Orange Livebox-2  to your WRT54GS. You can actually do this by cascading the linksys router to your livebox. There are tow ways in cascading routers: LAN-LAN and LAN-WAN. For more information about cascading routers, you may refer to this link: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=785463d9ecaf4cac84aed245b08d615f_3733.xml&pid=104&....

  • Can't get WRT54G to connect to internet

    Have been using a WPC11 v.4 wireless router for a couple of years now.
    Just purchased a WRT54G and cannot seem to get it to connect to the internet.
    After spending over an hour with both Verizon DSL tech's and Linksys tech still no joy.
    Have run through complete software setup while online with Linksys including several different setups.  Last instruction from Linksys was to call back Verizon and make sure my modem was set up as a bridge. 
    I did that and still no joy.  So I have hooked up the old router and bingo connection right away with no problem
    Help.
    elrodo

    hi..if the old router works with the modem in bridge mode...i find no reason why it should not work with the new wireless router unless your router has an older firmware...
    you can try this out...
    http://www.linksysfix.com/check/FirmwareUpgrade/LinksysUpgrade.exe
    this will help you upgrade the firmware on the new router and once upgraded successfully , reset it for 30 secs and then configure the router....

  • WRT54G -- Cannot connect to internet

    I just updated my router and gave my old WRT54G Ver 2.0 to a friend friend.   It was working on my home network with no problems.  
    When we got it to his house, we are unable to connect to the Internet.  We have tried both the original install disk and configuring the router manually.
    His ISP is Verizon DSL
    He is running Win XP on his Dell desktop.
    The Dell is hardwired to the WRT54G
    He is able to connect to the Internet when directly connected to the Verizon provided modem.
    When running Linksys install wizard, everything seems to going smoothly until we get to Step 7.   At that point we "Cannot connect to the Internet."
    Any suggestions?  

    well , PPPoE set up is authenticating the connection with the ISP....it is not related with the office or the home environment...
    if u get 192.168.1.x as the internet ip add on the router's status page , then u need to change the router's ip add to 192.168.2.1....because if u do not change it there is a conflict in the ip add of the router and that on the modem....so the need to change the ip add of the router...
    however , in that case the modem has the router features still enabled....so a better way is to bridge the modem....by doing that u stop the modem to act as a router and it will act only as a modem...and allow the linksys to handle the routing feature...

  • Problems with WRT54G getting connected to internet

    This is a slightly odd situation, in my opinion. I have the following setup:
    ethernet modem -> WRT54G Version 7 router -> multiple computers with WMP54G wireless ethernet card.
    The problem what I have is that everything works, when wired (onboard ethernet card of one of the computers), but when looking at the connection from a computer that's wireless the internet connection just doesn't exist!? How is that possible at the same time?
    Reading parts of other problem threats:
    DHCP is turned off. I prefer a static network address. Have WPA2 set up (works fine it seems)
    If more info is needed, do tell so.Message Edited by shangori on 12-03-200607:47 AM

    Yes, I am connected to the router (can change the settings on it, can ping the router AND other computers on the network). The computer I changed the settings from is the one wireless, so that works as well. Sometimes the wireless connection disconnects still, but mostly it does so when internet has already disconnected. So I think it's more the connection with the internet that's a little haywire.
    While browsing the router settings on any browser (firefox and IE) I do reguraly get the message that the 'website gave a wrong code' (sorry, the error is in dutch and this is the best translation I can give) and that I should contact the administrator of the site of the problem consists. When refreshing it sometimes shows the page wrongly (missing half of it for instance or just only text) when this error has just occured. It takes a restart of the router (pulling the plug, waiting a min, replugging it) to get rid of it.
    Getting connected to the internet is fairly difficult. It takes several attempts and several messages of "PPTP connection can't be established", before anything happens. When I am connected it takes anywhere between a few minutes and several hours before I'm getting disconnected and have to go through the entire thing of trying to connect several times again.
    I've reconnected my old router (not wireless, older sweex model) and with that one the connection remained stable for several hours, before I tried it again with the WRT54G. I have Connect on Demand set with a max idle time of 9999min (basically, I don't want to get disconnected at all, even if I'm not doing anything). Sometimes I kinda think that it doesn't see being logged in on msn as me being busy or something.
    Again, if more info is needed, do say so.

  • WRT54G looses connection

    I have a WRT54G connected to a Netgear DG632 ADSL modem.
    I have frequent dropout problems where the router drops the modem connection and also freezes my pc. I am not sure if I have an IP address clash or something like that.
    My modem is set to 192.168.0.1 and logs on to my ISP (V21) ok. My router is set to 192.168.2.1 with DHCP enabled. Both modem and router run stand-alone (i.e not directly connected to a pc). All 3 pcs in my network are connected via wireless and exhibit the same problem, therefore I beleive it is a network problem not pc.
    The only way to reconnect to the modem/internet is to reboot the pc.
    Any suggestions are welcome

    Router has been working for last year. Within last few days, router stopped passing photo's attached to forum discussions. In order to trouble shoot. Router was accessed and channel changed to #11 per instructions. (There has always been a dropped internet issue/reboot to fix, with this router.) The most recent firmware update was installed today with no positive effect upon the picture problem. Has something changed or become innoperative in the electronics? The router seems to work fine on any other website that provides pictures, just the forum sites. (www.exracers.com) Photo's are viewable on desktop computer (at this site) that is ethernet cable connected to router. It is the wireless feature that no longer seems to pass the photographs. (I believe many of the forum users place their photo's in photobucket.) (All computers used are 2years old or newer Mac's.)

  • WRT54G loosing connection

    Would it help to change the channel on my WRT54G to possibly solve the connection dropping issue I am having? I am in a different room about 20 feet away with open doorways and can't seem to keep a connection. Thought I would try this before upgrading. Thanks

    You can do the following settings on your Router...
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    Click on the Wireless tab...Click on the Sub tab under Wireless >Advanced Wireless Settings..Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect... 

  • My mac looses connection to internet

    I have suddenly problems with the connection to the internet from my Mac. I have Airport Exstreme.
    What i open my mac (from shut down) i can connect with no problems, but is i serch for a new page - i loose the connection. Then i have to shut the mac down and restart again.
    Any ideas

    When this happens, is the light on the Extreme still green?
    How far away is the extreme to the Mac, and when things are WORKING, do you ever see any other networks in the wifi list... like those from a neighbour?

  • WRT54G lost connection to Internet from Wired computer, but wireless still connect

    I have the router hard wired to a desktop computer and have 2 other computers connecting wirelessly through it.  The hard wired computer suddenly could not connect to the internet, yet the 2 wireless computers still can.  The computer was 5 yrs. old and I had bought a new one, so thought it was the best time to set it up.  I have the same problem with the new computer.  The only way I could get access to the internet on it was to run a line from the USB port on the DSL modem directly to the computer.  I can still see the 2 other computers and their files through the router, just can't get the router to see the modem from the hard wired computer.  The 2 wireless computers can access the modem through the router, but the wired one can't!  According to Linksys the problem is with my ethernet/lan on the computer.(both computers?!)  According to the repair/diagnose on my lan connection, it says there is a problem with the router or modem.  Any suggestions?

    I found the problem, the router is bad.  I bought a new router and installed it, made no changes to the computer hardware, and the new router worked fine with the ethernet connection for the hard wired computer.  I am really disappointed in the help that I received from linksys.  They kept insisting there was nothing wrong with the router and that the 2 computers I tried to hard wire to the router both had bad ethernet ports.  I will not be buying their products again.

  • WRT54GS Looses Connection.....

    I have read the other threads about a similar problem, but the problem i am having is slightly different
    My wireless router is attached to a cable modem, and broadcasts into my house on a secured connection. I have changed the network name from linksys to my own name.
    My laptop always connects to my network without exception, and ignores the other 5+ wireless connections in the area, BUT there is one connection that when it is turned on, my computer insists on joining that unsecured network, and drops my connection.
    The wired connection still works, so i can just switch between the two, although this kind of defeats the object of awireless router!
    I have changed the channels, configured XP to ignore other networks but still the connection is dropped.
    What do i need to do to ensure my laptop ignores the other conenction when it is turned on, and remains connected to my network at all times?
    thanks and best regards
    Chris
    just to confirm, i have NOT updated any firmware in the router, and the router has been installed and working correctly for about 6-9 months now, and the problem has only recently started....: smileymad:
    Message Edited by crispyburgers on 05-18-200707:39 AM

    Open the network connections control panel. Select your wireless connection and right click on it. Open the properties. Click on the wireless network tab. Verify that the top check box is set, i.e. Windows configures the wireless. Also verify that in the list of preferred networks there is no network listed that you do not want to connect to.
    Next press the Advanced button and verify that you only connect to access points and also that you do not connect automatically to non-preferred networks.

    Don't click on the above link...Instead click here and select the correct version of your router, download the firmware and upgrade it...
    Once you are done...reset your router :
    1. Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds.
    2. Then, unplug the power keep holding down the reset button for
    another 30 Seconds.
    3. Plug back the power back in, and keep holding down the reset button
    for 30 Seconds.
    4. Release the reset button.
    5. Re-configure your router.

  • WRT110 - I upgraded to new firmware and always loose connection

    My router was running fantastic under 1.03 version never an issue. Then I figured i would check for updates and I updated. I wish I didnt. I constantly loose connection to internet and the router. I tried refashing several times. I read everything I can get my hands on. I would really like to get the previous version firmware bake to 1.03 if anyone knows where i can download it or has it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    When you Updated the Firmware of your Router, did you reset your Router. Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
    I think this will solve your problem.

  • My WRT54G v5 router loses internet connection frequently

    My WRT54G v5 router loses internet connection frequently. Sometimes occurs when you enter a web or sometimes every few minutes, but without a pattern. I have W XP Pro with SP3 and I have a pc wired to the router and sometimes 2 notebook with Wi-Fi. What could be the problem?. Thank you very much.

    I have upgraded the firmware to v 1.02.8 and reduced the MTU to 1350 but after a few minutes of doing that I had the same problem... The router reboots itself, again and again and again...
    It's possible to run some diagnostic utility that somebody can check ??  
    It's possible it would be a router failure ??
    I note that sometimes is ok and when Entering some web pages the router reboots itself and I loose my internet connection, but others, the router reboots for no apparent reason...
    I dont know what to do...

  • Can't connect to internet through WRT54G

    I can connect to the internet through DSL modem but cannot when going through the WRT54G.  All lights on router lit correctly.  Actually set up this router 6 months ago or so and worked both wired and wirelessly for awhile.  Then could only access internet wirelessly with laptop.  Started messing with the router to get it to work wired with desktop but now won't work.  Can access the router set-up page but not sure what to change.  Saw somewhere to change the routers IP address to 192.168.2.1  didn't solve the prblem.  Have tried restoring factory defaults, recommended power on/off sequences (modem, router,pc) and holding reset button for 30 seconds.  Also tried Easy connect tool on the Linksys site.  Icon in lower right of pc screen indicates status as connected but still cannot connect to internet.  Any help is very much appreciated.

    I had the very same problem with the same model router. It turned out to be the Security setting in Internet Options. The security setting was on Medium. After changing it to Medium-Low, I could connect to the internet through the router.
    If you are not familiar with changing the Security setting, let me know and I will reply with the steps to take.

  • AOL Broadband, will connect to laptop, but not connect to internet explorer. WRT54GS v.6

    I can connect to my wireless network via my laptop, but not to internet explorer. We have changed every setting imaginable and re-set the modem, router many times. We Ip configed, did ping tests, installed and re-installed the card in the laptop. Done all this 4 times with the tech support from Linksys. Finally, I realized it must the wireless router and/or modem configuration. (The laptop works on every other network in town except ours, and has not security settings enabled).
    I have been on customer service calls for 2 weeks, with AOL and linksys and nothing seems to be helping me. I have 2 wireless routers (thought the first was bad, so bought another brand new), and just had a brand new modem installed. Basically, I have brand new equipment.
    The laptop has no security settings and connect to any wireless network in town. It finds the connection to my WRT54GS v.6, but will not connect via internet explorer.
    I want to uninstall and re-install the router. How do I uninstall the router? (I have instruction for re-installation). Also AOL rep told me, to make sure I configure the router to a certain port range. Any ideas as to how to do this?
    Anyone have problems with AOL high speed and linksys router? Has the high speed cable cord coming out of the wall, not ethernet or DSL.
    We have changed the settings in http://192.168.1.1 till I am blue in the face. None of the channels worked, security didn't work, adding the ip address manually to the laptop didn't work. I am getting no error messages. Am trying to get this wireless modem working because I need it. Should have come to this forum first!

    hi..if you want to uninstall the router...the only thing you need to do is hold the reset button down for 30 seconds...
    i m a bit confused here as to why the ISP techs asked you to forward ports on the router...port forwarding is needed for a specific application or a device that is behind the router....
    the mentioned ports are for AOL messenger ( AIM )....and has nothing to do with the modem...anyways , let us work out together on this issue...carry out the steps i mention and you can revert back with the results and your success rate...
    1) connect the computer to the modem and check what ip address you have on the computer ??
    2) go to start -> control panel -> network connections ->
     let me know what other icons you have besides Local Area Connection and Wireless Network Connection..
    3)connect the computer to the router and the router to the modem...
    access the router using http://192.168.1.1 .. let the internet connection type be on DHCP....check the ip address on the status page of the router ui...
    4) if it is 0.0.0.0 , go to setup tab and go to mac address clone subtab , enable it and hit clone..save the settings and do a power cycle...
    5) check whether you have the ip address...if you have the same ip as coming off of the modem..u should be online and if still 0.0.0.0 , then select PPPoE for the internet connection type and enter the username and password...check whether the ip address comes up....if still negative, ensure that the modem is in bridge mode...
    6)if the ip address comes up as 192.168.1.x , change the local ip add of the router to 192.168.2.1 and do a power cycle..
    let me know for any help !!!
