WRT54G + MODEM THOMSON ST516v6 - CONNECTION TO THE INTERNET IMPOSSIBLE

Hello,
I am able to connect to Internet directly via adsl Thomson ST516v6.
I tried to setup WRT54G but am unable to connect to the Internet.  The modem is connected to WRT54G via the Internet Port.
PC is connect to WRT54G via port2.  The LEDs looks ok.  But I cannot go out to Internet.
any advise how I should proceed ? Should i use PPPoE instead of DHCP?
Thanks!

Your "modem" is actually a "modem-router" and it uses the same 192.168.1.x  address space as the WRT54G.  This is likely the root of your problem.
To fix this problem, disconnect the WRT54G from the Thomson.  Then go into the WRT54G and change the "Local IP address" to 192.168.2.1
Leave WRT54G set to DHCP.

  • My usb modem will not connect to the internet after upgrading to OS X. The modem is active and was issued an IP addreess. There apparently is a connection error between the modem and Safari. Any ideas would be welcomed

    MY USB modem will not connect to the Internet. The modem appears active on either USB ports and an IP address is assigned. The interface between the modem appears to be the problem. Any ideas?

    What did have you do if anything?
    I also tried to connect with an ethernet cord, and that too is not working.
    What were the results from the Network Diagnostic test when connected by ethernet?
    I've been searching online for hours and have found no solution that has worked.
    What were those solutions that did not work other than what you already mentioned?

  • WRT54G v8 can't connect to the internet

    I tried to run the easy setup disk, and when I get to the part where it is testing my internet connection, it says it can't connect and to turn off/turn on my cable modem.
    I have completely powered down the cable modem, the router and my PC.  I ran through the steps again to no avail.
    I can connect to the router.  I can ping the router.  I checked my ipconfig and it looks fine.   I can connect to the internet directly from the cable modem, but not via the router.
    I've run through the help on this site and tried all the steps to troubleshoot, and they all work-- except I can't get online.
    I called my provider-- Comcast to see if they had some MAC address registration-- they don't.
    I am setting this up for my mother, and even came back today with my own personal Linksys-- which I know works, and I can't get that one to work either.
    What do I do now?

    Ok I figured it out.  While I was waiting, I decided to try changing the MAC address to enabled and then copying the address from my PC.  I completely rebooted, and suddenly it worked.
    My question is, How would my 57 year old this-is-my-first-laptop-first-internet-first wireless-router- mother be able to figure that out?  It seems strange that the Easy Install package doesn't address that and just leaves you hanging-- stuck on the "Can't connect to Internet" message. 
    Anyway, good luck to everyone else with WRT54G internet connection problems.

  • WRT54G v4 keeps losing connection to the internet

    My WRT54G version 4 keeps losing connection to the internet. I've been on the phone w/ customer service so many times that the last time I think they gave up because after putting me on hold they never got back on the phone! :-)
    Anyway one pattern I am seeing is that the router loses connection to the internet within two or three hours after I disconnect from the Cisco VPN and shut down my work PC. Has anyone else seen something like this?
    -Frank

    I found that Linksys EasyLink Advisor is a needless program that ultimately downgrades your router from a good piece of technology to a problematic pile of junk. So, therefore, try uninstalling Linksys EasyLink Advisor to get your good, solid hardware back. All you need to do to in order to get your router to work is plug it into an outlet, plug your Internet connection into the router, and then connect your router to your computer. It should then work without software (i.e., LELA) complicating it up.
    Now, if you feel the need to set up an SSID or security, which I highly suggest, type 192.168.1.1 into your web browser. Leave the user name blank, and type admin as the password. Go to the Wireless tab and type something in as the SSID. It could be anything, just as long as it isn't linksys. Click on the Wireless Security sub-tab. Select WEP as the security mode with a WEP encryption of "64 bits 10 hex digits". Now, in Key 1, you need to type in a 10-digit password of numbers 0-9 and letters A-F (I believe). I suggest you use your phone number since that is very convenient in this instance.
    Hopefully what I suggested in the first paragraph resolves your problem. If not, I suppose you could ignore the second paragraph if you feel the need to reinstall LELA. *shudders*

  • My WRT160N does not connect to the internet.

    I have 2 computers and connect wired with one and wireless with the other one.  I installed my router and plug in the internet cord from my wired PC (while that Ethernet cord is plugged in to the back of my wired PC I have Active internet on it) to the back of my router in the "internet" port.  And then I have a another Ethernet cord from the back of my router in  port "1" going to the PC. At that time my wired PC confirms that there is a physical connection however there is no internet on the wired PC any more.  As for my Wireless PC, it detect and connect to the WRT160N router however it has no internet connection.  Now if I take the Ethernet cable (that is connect from the modem to the WRT160N Router and from the router to the PC), and removed it from the router and plug it in directly to the PC (so that it will be from the modem to the PC) I will have active internet once again.

    You should reset your linksys router and then, re-configure it...
    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...
    Also make sure that your computer is set to obtain IP automatically, disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer before trying to access the setup page.
    Your PC should be connected to the Ethernet Port 1 of the Linksys router, your modem should be connected to the Internet port of the Linksys router...

  • My E4200 won't connect to the internet

    I have my e4200 connected to another modem/router (2Wire 3600HGV), because the other router does not support Wireless N. I can connect to my E4200 network, but there's just no connection to the internet. I reseted my e4200 but still no luck. I've unplugged both routers and replugged them, nothing. I know it's possible because I've had it set up before but I had my 2Wire exchanged for a newer one.
    Any ideas what I should do?
    Firmware: 1.00.4
    Just to be sure. I have the cable going from my modem out of port #1 and into my e4200 where it says internet, thats correct, right?
    On my e4200 i have the IP 192.168.1.2 but on the 2Wire I have the e4200 as 1.92.168.1.66. 

    As per your connections, that is, modem **bleep** router connected to the internet port of the Linksys router, the IP address of the Linksys router should be 192.168.2.xxx because both router's cannot work with the same IP range in a single network. However if you don't want to change the IP address then you need to disable the DHCP server of the Linksys router.

  • I have connected a new time capsule to a dsl modem.  It doesnt see the internet. Airport utility says: Disconnected. But it isnt. Internet tab shows PPPoE. Must I enter Account Name or Password? If so, where do I find them? If not, what do I do?

    I have connected a new Time Capsule to a DSL modem using an ethernet cable . The modem is working fine and connected fine. But the Time Capsule doesnt seem to be talking to the modem.  If I click the internet Icon in Airport Utility  it shows Disconnected.If I click the Time Capsule icon and go to the internet tab it shows  Connect using PPPoE. Is that what it should be? In the box below there is place for an account name and password. DO I need to filll these out and if so what do I put there--information about the Time Capsule of informationabout the Modem? And where do I find the information.
    Or am I completely on the wrong track.

    Thanks. The modem is a Speedtouch ST585  v6. How do I know whether it is in adsl bridge?  Also this is a modem-***-router. Does that make a difference?
    If you did not put it in bridge then it is not in bridge..
    Connect a computer directly to the modem.. open the browser to either 192.168.1.254 or 10.0.0.138 (if neither of those work you will have to check the IP address your ISP has set).
    BTW who is your ISP and do they allow PPPoE.. for instance most ISP in UK do not use pppoe so you have no choice but to run the 585 as a router. In which case bridge the TC
    Anyway.. open the setup configuration in the Thomson and select a template that says bridge.. run through the wizard and it will then bridge the modem.
    And I am using Airport Utility 6.0. How do I get the earlier version?
    By reading the site link I just gave you.. downloading the utility and running it on your computer. Or simply google to 5.6 lion airport utility... that is the way I find things when I don't have the link memorised.
    Finally, AIrport Utility shows a number in a red dot next to the time capsule icon, currently 2. What is that for? What does it tell us?
    Firstly download the useful utility.. but the dots tell you something is wrong and preventing the TC from working.. if you open the utility it should tell you what the errors mean.. I cannot tell you what they are, but it is likely to be no internet connection and pppoe has failed.

  • WRT54G ver. 6 can no longer connect to the internet after reset

    I reset my WRT54G ver. 6 to clear the password, and now I can no longer connect to the internet with it. I can see the router itself from my PC, but that is all. I've followed the directions here for connection problems, but I can't seem to get an IP Address for it in the Web Configuration tool. Anybody have any thoughts?

    Since you reset your router, you need to reconfigure it back again. try the online utility that automates the configuration. download Easy Link Connect utility at www.linksys.com/connect then download "Netset" and follow instructions.
    if not Easy Link connect didnt work then you need to do the configuration manually.
    1. check physical connection modem should be connected wired to internet port of the router then PC to numbered ports of the router.
    2. Brighthouse i believe is cable connection, right? try power cycle your devices (turn off modem and router then turn on modem 1st then router next). check if your online.
    3. if not. check PC ip. click "start" then "run" type in "cmd" then press "OK". the command prompt should pop-up. type "ipconfig" and check IP and gateway. you should be getting an ip: 192.168.1.x and gateway: 192.168.1.1
    4. access router. open IE, then type in http://192.168.1.1 on address bar.
    5. you will be prompted with username and PW. "admin" is the default password. on setup, just below are subtabs. select "MAC address clone". in it, set "mac clone" to "enable" then click on "clone" then "save settings".
    6. power cycle devices again. try to go online
    note: if you dont have latest firmware. try updating if needed

  • Can connect to Linksys WRT54G but can't get to the internet.

    PowerBook G4 17" 1GHz with OS 10.5.4
    Linksys WRT54G v8.00.5
    SpeedStream DSL Modem
    I am having a strange issue. I am able to connect to my wireless network with my PowerBook and can see the Linksys setup page, but I cannot get on the internet. If I bypass the router I can get online with my PowerBook. If I use an ethernet cable connected to my Linksys I can get online with my PowerBook. My Sony Viao can connect wirelessly and get on the internet with no issue. My PlayStation 3 and PSP have no issues. It is solely this machine that is having the issue. I contacted Linksys and went through their troubleshooting to no avail.
    Does anyone have any idea as to what the issue may be, or what I can try to resolve this issue? I have done everything I can think of and no luck. Any ideas?

    I plugged the IP address into Safari and, although there were 27 errors, the page loaded. I hadn't tried that before. Interesting.
    The fact that the ping worked means you are connected to the Internet, and what is likely failing (causing the "You are not connected" message) is DNS name resolution.
    DNS name resolution is what converts names like "www.opendns.com" to numbers, like the numbers I gave above, 208.67.219.99.
    Changing your system to use the OpenDNS DNS servers, as directed above, will fix the name resolution issue on your system.

  • WRT54GS Connects to the Internet Not Admin Page

    I am able to connect to the internet with the WRT54GS and was able to access the admin page, but now all I get is "Page Can Not Be Displayed". I powered everything off and than turned on the broadband DSL modem, the router and than the PC but still can't get the admin page to load. I am using Windows XP. Can someone please help. Thanks in advance

    What is the Ip of your DSL modem? is this the same as your WRT54GS perhaps?
    have you setup a proxy cache in your web browsers LAn settings perhaps?
    any antivirus/web scanning or firewall utils that are blocking it?

  • WRT54GS will not connect to the internet...

    Hello,
    Having some issues with my router.. it's a model WRT54GS with firmware 7.2.. I'm not able to connect to the internet, whether it be wired or wireless. I can bring up the router just fine, but again no connectivity to the internet.
    I tried changing the router local IP to 192.168.2.1 thinking that would fix the conflict.. but nothing seems to be working. I've cloned the MAC address and still nothing. I can connect straight to the modem and access the internet just fine, but when I try and connect through the modem, I can't bring up any web pages..
    please help, I'll be glad to provide any info I can.

    Sorry that last line should read:

  • Cant connect to the internet using my wrt54g

    i bought the linksys wrt54g yesterday brought it home put in the setup disk and everythin was goin good until it came to step 10 and an error message came up saying: cant connect to the internet please shut off modem and turn it back on so tryed that still didnt work. so i found a thread when i searched this problem that said i had to bridge my westell 6100 modem to the router or somthin like that so i followed those steps and it still doesnt work can som1 help me please!?

    Did you try to change the routers Ip address to 192.168.2.1?
    I am not sure of that modem and not sure if it has a built in router ot not.  Call your ISP and see if that modem is also a router running DHCP and everything else.

  • Can't connect to the internet via router(WRT54G)

    Hi, I've just installed my WRT54G wireless router even though I'm connected to the internet and all the right lights are flashing. I still don't get any internet connection through the router. I've tried all kind of methods but still nothing. Please help me.

    if you have cable isp, log on to the router's admin <192.168.1.1> via internet explorer.. doesn't need the router to be online on the web to access it..
    once inside, select mac address clone on the blue strips and choose enable and click clone my pc's mac bar..(make sure you use the main pc that was first online thru the modem/cable box)..then save settings..
    then go to status on the black strip and check if you have an ip address and dns 1 to 2/3.. if you do.. then congrats.. you have successfully configured the router..
    if you have dsl, and has username and pw from isp, log on to router admin same way and select on the first box w/ the drop down arrow pppoe, type in un & pw and save settings..gp to status and make sure pppoe says connected w/ ip addresses as well..
    if no un & pw, connect only pc and router, access router admin same way, change lan ip to a diff. segment <192.168.2.1>save settings..unplug the router's power cable only for 10-20sec and plug in internet cable from dsl box and power as well.. to make sure, log on to new ip of router (e.g 192.168.2.1), clone pc's mac as well..then go to status and check if you have ip addresses..
    NOTE: if non of them gave you ip addresses, click dhcp renew / refresh button on status screen for cable and dsl w/o un & pw..
    if pppoe connection, try powering down router & modem at same time for 2min. then power them back on.. it should work by then..
    whew!!! that was long.. nwei, it worked for me and my neighbor, i have cable, she has dsl..good luck!!!

    If your not hearing dial tone you might have your phone plugged into the wrong port. Most modems have 2 outlets, one is labeled line ( that is the one you should have plugged into the jack (RJ11C). If that's correct, query the modem and see if it tests OK, you may have a defective modem.

  • I need help setting up a wireless network and getting connected to the internet. I have a RCN cable modem now and tried to install a wireless linksys today and it was a disaster

    I have a MAC desktop and RCN cable that I have internet through now. I tried to set up a linksys wireless router today and could not get the network settings right, or figure out how to create the network, or get connected. I was successfull for only a few minutes because my phone and laptop had picked up the signal. However my desktop still would not connect to the internet. I had to restart my cable modem after because even after returning to directly inserting the desktop to the modem I could not get on the internet. I am able to get on now but would like to have wireless for my laptop and phone. Do I have to have an Apple router? Are there any easy steps I can take to set up a network without doing any damage to my desktop? I am so lost and have been getting pop ups and even my time changed.
    Please help a new person to Apple!

    why dont you go to linksys.com/downloads and get the quick install for your adpter
