WRT54G Router Disconnects

I thought i would put this in a different thread than my wireless problem. I am wired into the wireless router, was working fine all night. When i woke up this morning it was disconnected. I didnt have time to mess with it, but any ideas on what the problem could be. Im not sure what the firmware does, but Ive read that its pretty important to update, and I have not done so just yet. Would this be one reason? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Does this happen at any regular interval ? does it happen often ?
Upgrade the firmware if you are using an older version of it.

WRT54G Router - Internet connection issues using the Ipod touch

Ok, first - here is my setup. I've got the router hooked into the modem, with the desktop computer hooked directly into the router. I've got my laptop running off wireless internet, and I've got an ethernet cable connecting through my laptop to an xbox for xbox live connection. I recently just got an iPod touch, and I've come to realize that whenever I'm on the iPod, it messes with the internet on the desktop computer and on the xbox, but not the laptop really.. it makes the internet really slow, or sometimes it doesn't work at all, especially on the xbox. Is there anything I can change to make these all work at the same time? Or is this too many connections or what? Please help. thanx.
(running windows vista home premium, WRT54G router, pretty much beginner status, though I can follow directions easily : ] )
Also, the internet always works on the ipod, it seems as though the ipod is 'taking over' the internet.. it doesn't lose it while in the area, yet the other computers and xbox does at times..

You might be facing the problem, because the Ipod and your Desktop computer must be having the same IP address thats the reason whenever your IPod is connected to your Network, your Desktop must be getting disconnected. Check the IP address of your IPOD and of your Desktop Computer.
First thing which you need to check, if the Physical connections are done properly. Connect the Modem to the Internet Port of the Linksys Router and then Connect the computer to the LAN Port No.1. On your Desktop computer login to the setup page of your Router and click on the Status tab and check "Internet IP address"
If required you can Re-Set your Router and Re-configure all the settings on your Router from the scratch.

How do I set up WRT54G router with 4 computers and WVC54GC Wireless Camera

Can anyone please tell me how to set up my Home Network with full security turned on?
I have at least 4 neighbors that show up on my wireless connections list. I have a daughter that loves music and is constantly downloading viruses but only on one wireless connection. The rest of us want to be protected from that computer. My system consists of the following:
One Linksys WRT54G Router
Two Linksys WMP54G Wireless PCI adapters,
Two Linksys WVC54GC Wireless Cameras (Possibility four if the 1st two ever work OK.)
Two Linksys LNE100TX PCI Ethernet Cards,
One HP Ethernet Printer
Three computers were connected by Ethernet cable and one was wireless. I did not change the admin password and I thought everything was working fine for a couple of years until I found that the wireless computer was acting as a “drone” and slowing everything down to a snails pace. It could even turn itself on.
I changed one of the Ethernet computers to wireless and decided that it might be time to also change the password and increase security. Setting up security completely shutdown the wireless drone computer. I was OK with that, at least until I can reformat that harddrive.
I then decided while I was at it, I would add a wireless camera (WVC54GC). I set it up using the software and Ethernet cable that came with it. After 6 tries I finally got the camera to work with the cable attached, but it does not work wireless and now none of the other computers connect any more. Is there a limit on how many connections? Should I reset the router and if so, do I disconnect the DSL modem? I’m afraid of the “drone” computer because I found some very bad malware on it. One in particular caused me to replace a hard drive.
I’ve read page after page of network stuff on the Internet and I guess I just don’t know how to ask the right questions. I’m tired of fooling with this.

hi , when u talk about security , are u referring to the "viruses" your daughters PC may be propogating to the rest of the network , or are u referring to external attacks on the router or your wireless PC"s ???
In case u are referring to the "virus" attacks , the best you can do is install a good antivirus software on all PC"s and keep the virus definations updated....
In case u are referring to the wireless security , i'd suggest that your use WPA2 personal. you can select WPA2 by going to the "wireless security" option.
let me know if u need anything more.

Win XP SP3 PC wired to WRT54G router repeatedly crashes

I have a Win XP SP3 desktop that is wired (not wireless) to WRT54G router (v 3.0 router with latest firmware version 4.21.1).
The PC repeatedly freezes when I connect to internet using IE or Firefox and has to be re-booted using power button. The following are the 2 error messages from Event Viewer:
1) The AEGIS Protocol (IEEE 802.1x) v3.1.6.0 service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified - netevent.dll. Source of the error is Service Control Manager
2) The PCASp50 NDIS Protocol Driver service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified - netevent.dll. Source of the error is Service Control Manager.
Other details:
1) Vonage adapter also connected to router
2) This PC used to be connected to same router via a wireless-G adapter WUSB54G. That has been disconnected, Linksys software uninstalled and PC is now wired to router. The problem used to happen at that time also.
3) Router is setup with WPA-PSK security with TKIP and mode G-only.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I am at my wit's end.

I also would like to suggest that you download and experiment with another browser, Google Chrome or Opera and see if they are affected also. Their installation may refresh or reload the missing dll's.

No signal through linksys wrt54g router

my internet signal is no longer going through the wrt54g router - don;t know why.
i.e. no wireless handheld or computer and no ethernet when going through the router.
If I bypass the router the internet is fine, with the ethernet cable
I tried shutting everything down with power disconnect for periods of time, then bring everything back to power.
settings in linksys setup 192.168.1.1 look ok as far as I know; signal lights on router and modem are normal; settings in mac system prefs look normal also.
Suggestions?
Thank you

How do I connect WRT54GS Router to Talk Talk MT882?

I was able to set up my Talk Talk wired SmartAX MT882 modem but I now want to use my Linksys Wireless-G WRT54GS Broadband Router but it can't connect.
I entered the Talk Talk setup using the setup cd.
I then used the Linksys setup cd to connect the router.
But part way through the setup I get a message saying:
The router is not able to connect to the internet. Try turning the cable/DSL Modem Off and back On again.
Did that and nothing changes. Still the same message.
I've seen on a couple of forums that you should change the internet connection type of the SmartAX MT882 to Pure Bridge and the Linksys WRT54GS to PPPoE.
That doesn't change anything.
After having connected the Modem to the computer with the Ethernet cable vis the ethernet port I then take that out and place it into the internet port on the router and connect the other ethernet cable from one of the numbered ports(1-4) on the router to the ethernet port on the modem.
It seems that the modem has to be connected directly to the computer?
I'm completely stuck on what to do.

To get the Huawei SmartAX MT882 and the Linksys WRT54G to work together, you need to disable a DHCP server on one of the two (cause they are both routers, in this case we will disable the DHCP on the WRT54G). First leave the MT882 turned off and disconnected from the network for now. Connect to the WRT54G at http://192.168.1.1 with username and password set as "admin" unless you changed it beforehand. On the first page disable the DHCP server and change the address of the WRT54G to 192.168.1.200 (We are going to keep the IP within the same subnet as the MT882 but outside the range of the MT882's DCHP range). You will also need to switch the Advanced Dynamic routing on the WRT54G to the Router mode meaning that there is another router on the network. Also in the advanced dynamic routing mode turn on the the Dynamic Routing (RIP) to LAN+Wireless because we will plug in the MT882 into the LAN port (Not the WAN/Internet port) of the WRT54G. Disconnect from the WRT54G network. Plug in your MT882 directly into the computer via Ethernet or USB and log into the administration panel via http://192.168.1.1 if connected via Ethernet or http://192.168.1.2 if connected via USB. User name and password are both "admin". In the MT882 administration in the advanced setting turn on/enable RIP (Dynamic routing) for eth-0 (its most likely already enabled for ppp-0, ie. your provider, but now it is enabled with the Ethernet too). Now connect the MT882 Ethernet cable directly into one of the WRT54G's LAN ports and connect to the WRT54G with your computers via wireless or lan. Now once the computers are connected they will ask for an IP address and the WRT54G will forward them to the MT882's DHCP server for an address and thus you will get multiple computers through wireless connected to the MT882 and the "Internet". Good luck.

Airtunes not working with AE and WRT54G Router

Hey all,
I have been trying to get my Airport Express to see my WRT54G router for 2 days now. And each time after I have done mulitple reset on both units and disconnected the LAN line from the AX, I still can't get iTunes to see my Airtunes network.
I have a WRT54G v.2 wireless router. I have gotten the newiest firmware from Linksys and when I got the update, my setting for the router has changed to a WRT54GL router under my settings from the router webpage. I am thinking this maybe the problem, but don't think Linksys would make a mistake with this fireware update. So, i checked multiple times to make sure I got the latest correct update and did so.
Then, I followed the main setup to get the router to see the AX. I am using WEP Key and all, but still have no success. Weird thing is, I have had the AE for a long time and remember last year I threw a New Years party and had it configured correctly to see both my G4 Laptop and G5 Desktop. Now that I have sold my laptop I wanted to use my G5 to send music to the Linksys router to then connect to the Airport Express block. And now it won't see the router when the ethernet cable is disconnected from the AX.
Anyone have any ideas? I really appreciate it.

hi again,
something appears to prevent your ae to join you LinkSys LAN. And you shouldn't have to enter any IP adress.
From now, you should use the AirPort Admin utility located in the utility folder. This utility will allow you to get into all the ae parameters.
I'm not able to gives you a walkthrough from here but if you linksys have DHCP option activated, your ae should join it by simply giving it the rigth password. Besides, if you have latest firmwire, I do not think you need to add any $ to your password.
Does your router have any other security enable like specific MAC adress?

hi
can anyone help. I have the wrt54gs router which works ok untill I switch my computer off or put it into standby it then switches the router off which disconnects my sons ps3 connection. any help greatly appreciated

try changing the router's MTU for wired and change the advanced wireless settings on the router as well.

Router disconnects when labtop computer turned on.

My girlfriend recently purchased a new Sony Vaio labtop computer. Now everytime she turns on her computer my wireless router cuts out and the power led flashes as well as the light up Cisco logo. The router is a WRT54G. All of my house mates also run off this router. Never had a problem before this. Is there a way to fix this?

The IP Address on both the computers might be conflicting and that is why you think the router disconnects...I think you should upgrade the firmware on your router and reset and re-configure it...

WRT54G Router Intermittent Connection Drop

To keep all of this in a nutshell, i have one WRT54G router wired to a PC and connected wirelessly to my laptop.
With the router in place, everything has been fine for over a year until last week when the router just couldnt connect to the internet. Upgrading the firmware helped a little bit, but the connection just kept on dropping ever minute (literally) and reconnecting by itself quickly. This basically meant that the connected IP address changed every single minute, making it hell for my instant messengers and downloads which disconnect every minute when the problem happens.
A direct connection without the router in place, from modem > internet is perfect, no drops whatsoever.
I went out and bought a BRAND NEW ROUTER but the same problem is happening. Ive tried everything but cant find an answer.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Guys, im reading articles on the relation between router problems and P2P programs. It does make sense, ive been disconnected because of my torrent downloads but it still doesnt make sense that the problem is the same with a BRAND NEW ROUTER.
And why doesnt the version 7 of the WRT54G have any firmware upgrades?
I'll post here if i find anything else.

Having trouble setting up a linksys WRT54GS router with v...

Having trouble setting up a linksys WRT54GS router with verizon DSL using a westell 6100F modem. the modem works fine by its self but the router will not connect to the internet when installed like the cd tells you to.
online help and phone help has been less than helpful, anyone have any Ideas?

Ok I found " Installing the liksys wireless router with a westell 6100 modem" in the verizon troubleshooting guides. printed the instructions so I would'nt forget. step 1 open your web browser and enter http://192.168.1.1 in the address field. PROBLEM it comes up with a login screen that I don't know how to sign into. tried the obvious stuff. cannot get past the login screen. I knew this sounded to easy to be true. anyone have any ideas?

I have a linksys WRT54G router that we use as a base. I want to use Airplay using Airport Express and hook up my stereo to it. How can i set up my Airport express without a PC/laptop? I just downloaded Airport utility on my iphone and ipad,will that work?

I have a linksys WRT54G router that we use as a base. I want to use Airplay using Airport Express and hook up my stereo to it. How can i set up my Airport express without a PC/laptop? I just downloaded Airport utility on my iphone and ipad,will that work? And one more thing about the setup, the linksys router shich acts as a base is in a different room as the airport express which i wanted to use for airplay. So I'm hoping to hook up the Airport express via wireless signal. If i can set it up, can someone pls help me out by posting detailed instructions. Thanks so much!

The first message that AirPort Utility will display during the auto setup will be that the Express will be confgured to "extend" the network. When AirPort Utility analyzes the network further, and sees that the Express cannot "extend" the 3rd party network, the next message will indicate that the Express is being configured to "join" the wireless network.
Once the Express is configured, if you later go into AirPort Utility to check the settings under the Wireless tab, you will see that the Wireless Mode is indeed "Join a wireless network".

Linksys WRT54G router--Why doesn't it work with my Macbook?

I have a perfectly functional Apple MacBook (Unibody, late 2008) running Leopard 10.5.6. I have used it to connect to public Wi-Fi but it is unable to connect to my home Linksys WRT54G router. I called Apple Tech Support, and they suggested that I change the wireless channel and/or temporarily remove the WPA encryption. I did both, the computer still could not connect. In System Preferences on the MacBook, it tells me that "AirPort does not have an IP address and cannot connect to the internet." The tech support guy tried to help, but in the end basically told me that the router just plain might not be compatible with Apple products. (My iPod Touch cannot connect either.)
I can buy a new router, but this one works perfectly for the rest of the computers in the house (PCs) and they're expensive--and there's no guarantee that those will work either.
So: Does anyone know any solutions short of buying a new router that would make my Linksys compatible with my Macbook AND our home PCs? Or, failing that, a good, WPA-encrypted router that WILL work with both?
I have a Snow Leopard disk (I just received the computer on Thursday). Would upgrading to Snow Leopard be of any help? I'm planning on doing it anyway one of these days.
Many thanks in advance,
Sola Gratia

You are in the wrong forum but I'll try and help anyway. That model of Linksys router has a long history of not getting along with Apple products. That is not to say it will never work, but it does require that you download and install the latest firmware for the exact model of router that you have. There are multiple sub-models of that router so make sure that you get the right one.
Once you have done the firmware update, restart your router and try it again. WPA-psk should work but for troubleshooting purposes, turn off encryption and see if you can get your MacBook and touch working. You might want to use WPA2-psk instead of WPA.
I would hold off on Snow Leopard until you get WiFi working. Nothing like changing to too many things at one time to really mess things up.

WRT54G router IP address is the same as my modem's IP address. how to change the routers IP address?

The broadband modem got broken and the ISP changed it to a new modem. Now my problem is I cannot use the router when they changed the modem. The ISP won't provide support since they didn't provide me with the wireless router. I've read through the forum and found that I had to change my router's IP address. WRT54G router IP address is the same as my modem's IP address, 192.168.1.1. I already changed the local IP address of the router to 192.168.1.2, saved the setting, released and renew the ip address. Now, when I connected my internet modem cable to the router, I cannot connect to the internet. I am able to ping 192.168.1.2 but I cannot connect to the ping 192.168.1.1. Please help me do the proper setup.
Thanks!

Hello! I solved my problem but I find the solution so weird. After changing the routers IP address to 192.168.1.2, instead of plugging the modem cable on the Internet port of the router, I plugged it in one of the WAN ports. Presto, it worked. Even my wireless connection is also working.

Cannot connect Mac ibook to WRT54G router

I have a WRT54G router connected to my desktop. My Dell laptop connects without any problems. Now I am also trying to connect a Mac ibook to the same router. The Airport reads the connection, but it does not accept any passwords. The dropdown of connection options includes Personal WPA, Personal WPA2, Enterprise WPA, and others, but none of them accept my password. I have read some threads about downgrading, but I am concerned that if I make changes to adapt for the Mac, I might lose my Dell connectivity.

Use Firefox or Internet Explorer. Open http://192.168.1.1/ (if you have not changed the LAN IP address of the WRT54G), enter your password (default "admin" ) and you should see the web interface of the router. Click on Wireless. Post the current settings you have there. Then click on Wireless Security and also post the current settings you find there. That will tell us how you have set up the wireless on the router and then we'll see how you correctly set up the iBook for this.
