WRT54G lost wifi

Hi, My WRT54G lost the wifi connection. I can get the internet if I connect the cable from my modem to my computer but my wireless connection is gone. So it's an issue with the router or settings. I called Linksys and was told the settings would have to be reset/upated. I was told there would e a fee. I did not want to pay a fee. I'd like to try to resolve myself. Technician suggested I search the forums.
Is this something I can fix myself? If so, how? I have a Mac laptop. Verizon ISP.
Thank you.

To reset, you would need to press and hold the reset button for about 30 seconds. Then set it up again. Try these links for help:

TS1398 my 3rd generation ipod touch recently lost wifi capabilities. I reset the network settings... this did not help. I did a complete reset, I now no longer have the Safari icon on my itouch. Has Apple removed wifi on older models to force new purcha

I recently lost wifi capabilities on my 3rd generation ipod touch. I reset the network which did nothing so I did a complete reset. This actually removed the Safari icon off my itouch and still wifi is completely grayed-out. Has Apple removed the wifi capabilities to force the purchase of new items?
I find it completely disturbing that only recently has this become an issue for 3rd generation itouch users.
Can someone please help as I am exceptionally frustrated

This problem?

I suspect that the problem is in your router. Do NOT consider your router to be blameless if some other devices seem to work with it.
Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. Don't just turn it Off. On many routers that doesn't really do anything but put the router into standby mode. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
There is a chance that some services turned on in your router could be causing problems. Look for a setting called QoS (Quality of Service). If ON turn it OFF.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

My Macbook Pro i7 lost wifi connection

Hi, my Macbook Pro i7 lost wifi connection. I don't know why, but my connection is lost every time. I've other PC, tablets etc. (Windows, iPhone, iPad) and all is ok. Only Macbook Pro i7 have this problem. Some help?

Well if then, if it is two weeks old, I suggest a trip to the Genius Bar at your Apple Store... it may well be a warranty issue.
I am sorry I was not able to be any help at all besides WANTING to!
Were you running your other wireless machines at the SAME time? And you had nobody in the house using mixers (for drinks or cake and cookie batter) or hair dryers? Clothes dryers....?
While thinking of Brasil and weather- I saw on our public TV station a few months ago- a story about a fishing boat, I think south of Rio de Janeiro, who encountered a hurricane- and only one fellow lived. Ouch!

I was updating my ipod and i lost wifi, so i turned off my ipod, and when i tried to turn it on it went to the normal apple logo then flashed and went to a pink screen. Ive tried restoring it, but it hasnt worked. PLEASE HELP

So i was updating my ipod earlier yesterday, i kinda steal wifi from the neighbors so it was pretty weak.... i lost wifi (i think) because it stopped loading, so i turned off my ipod. And when i tried turning it on again it did the apple logo then went to a full out pink screen. Ive tried turning it back on and off a billion times, and sometimes the screen colors will change. I recently just tried restoring it like 10 times and usually itll just interenwrupt the restoring process. By the way, wh i plug it into the computer it doesnt recognize the device. I had to put it into recovery mode. Pleasehelp, this ipotd is my life. I cant take it to the apple store because its badly cracked, and ive had it for about 2 y and a half years. PLease help.

Hi-
I had the same thing happen to me Thursday night, and I just got mine right 30 minutes ago (and it is now Saturday am). Like you I repeatedly tried to restore it (by holding down the home key and powere button at the same time; then plugging it up to my computer and trying to get it to restore through iTunes). My computer didn't initially recognize my ipod either. - One thing- be sure that your battery isn't dead/dying. If it is, charge it (it should charge-mine did), then start the process of restoring it again. Make sure when you hold the home and power keys down that you are linked to iTunes.- You will eventually get a screen that has the itunes icon it, with a usb cable underneath it. At that point your computer will recognize your ipod, and you'll be able to restore it...This will take a LONG time.- Good luck.

Attempt to upgrade to OS6, lost wifi-grayed out

I tried to do the upgrade to the OS6 as requested on my iPod touch and lost wifi. I now can't add back my iTunes although my photos and apps still are showing intact. I did a full reset and actually had an Apple store employee do it and they could not fix it. My iPod Touch worked fine before the attempted upgrade. Now my Ipod Touch is useless. I can't even restore it completely to factory settings. The Apple store manager and employee were even baffled. It is showing still on 5.1.1 version. I am so frustrated that a simple upgrade sent out by Apple has caused me to now have a useless iPod Touch,

Help! While downloading Lion, I lost WIFI and got error message . . .

While downloading Lion, I lost WIFI and got error message "An error has occurred." Tried to re-download and the dowload icon says "OSX Lion--Waiting . . . " Please help!! What should I do?

Don't worry about the download, you can go back to the AppStore > Purchases tab and download it again.
Or from another Mac if you have one. Try a restart, it may even start the download where it left off.

Can't find airport to turn it on, lost wifi and all addresses after a software upgrade

i can't find airport to turn it on, lost wifi and all ip addresses after a software upgrade on my iMac

1. Does the WiFi icon in preferences have a yellow triangle with an exclamation point?
2. Do you have physical access to the Airport router?
3. WiFi through local cable company - does that mean you have a Cable company device which also has WiFi built-in AND also have an Airport router?
4. Under About This Mac -> More Info -> System Report -> Network, do you see any wifi adapters? Usually a grey wifi icon in the menu bar implies that it has been turned off. If you Turn Wifi On in System Preferences -> Network -> WiFi, does the menu bar icon show you any change in the wifi icon?

Oficejet Pro 8600 Premium lost wifi connectivity to printers

Yesterday morning, I lost wifi connectivity to my 8600. I tried to delete the printer from the computer and then added it. I tried this through the control panal as well as from the HP utility. (I had to delete the port to re-add it in the add printer process.) I reset the printer by going through the wifi set-up on the printer again. I turned off the router,unplugghted it, turned off the printer and unplugged it, waited a minute, plugged the router in, turned the router on, plugged the printer in, turned the printer on - still no success.
I checked the router and it displayed the printer info and said the wifi connection to it was active.
The wifi icon on the screen shows active.
The little blue wifi light next to the left of the screen was blinking initially and then was steady but seemed very dim.
Wifi in setup is on.
As the problems occured on all 3 of my computers at the same time, I am quite sure the problem is on the printer side.
When I connect a cat 5 cable between the router and the printer, the wireless laptops can get to the printer.
Any help would be appreciated

These settings are for setting up your wireless printer to stay connected to your router, keep wireless devices better connected and make your router secure and hack proof.
1. Set a static IP in the printer (click here) outside the DHCP range of the router (check your manual).
    This is for Linksys routers but can be used for all routers. Verify your DHCP range and change this
    first if needed. More Wireless Printing help is here.
2. Verify in the printer that 'Auto Off' is disabled. Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) by going to the
    printers IP address in your browsers address bar, click Settings Tab/Auto Off. Or use the Printer
    Assistant, Printer Home Page (EWS).
In the router: (Refer to your router manual for information)
3. Use a fixed wireless channel like 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto', try channel 1 first then the rest.
4. Set router to 20Mhz only, or 145Mbps depending on router.
5. Always use WPA2-AES (Personal) encryption, but you can try ‘mixed’ mode.
6. Disable WPS and never use it and disable UPnP for the routers security. Nobody can hack your
   system now and helps with wireless connectivity (if you want to know why, search the web).
7. If you have a dual band router (2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz bands), make sure the SSID’s are NOT the same,
   they must be different for all bands, even for any Guest networks.
8. Save all settings. Power off both, wait 2 mins. Power on router wait 2 mins.
9. Power on printer and verify it reconnects to router.

Same problem here. Updated iPhone and the battery doesn't last more than four hours before getting to 20% and needing a recharge. Apple needs to address this soon before customers start jumping ship.

Ipad lost wifi after ios7 update but works when close to signal.

Hi
Ive read lot of posts that have the same issue as mine except for one difference. My ipad will reconnect if I am very close to the router or my range extender.
I have had three years of faultless use from my ipad and it lost wifi and bluetooth connectivity immediately after updating to ios7.0.4.
Ive tried all the usual remedies as in updating the router firmware, resetting the ipad, switching wifi on and off etc. All to no avail.
Unfortunately it still wont find a wifi signal where all my other apple and samsung gear will find multiple signals easily.
I found out that if im within 20cm of my range extender or within 2-3 metres of my asus router i get about 2 bars of signal and it works accordingly. If I move beyond that range my signal drops out.
Ive ordered a new Wifi antenna but wanted to know if anyone else has got some ideas prior to me fitting it.
Thanks for any help

To Diavonex,
Thanks for your reply,
I took the ipad for a drive to see if it could find a signal.
My Samsung S4 was continuously picking up new Wifi signals but my Ipad didnt find a single one.
So I went into my local computer shop and got within two metres of their wifi antenna and got a 2-3 bar signal. I literally took one big step away from it and I lost the signal and it wouildnt return until I approached the aerial agian.
The computer tech just laughed and said thats Apple for you.
What I cant work out is that it had been perfect in all conditons for years until the ios7 update.
Thanks
