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.

My daughter has set my apple id the same as hers by mistake anyone know how to change this pls

my daughter set up my iphone 4s and when she set up the apple id she used hers by mistake and know we are both on the same id and every message either of us sends or recieved it is going to the other person aswell does anyone know what i can do to change my apple id

To change it for iCloud, you will need to delete the existing account and then log back in with your own AppleID.
For messages, in Messaging settings, click the Send & Receive, tap the AppleID and log out. now log abck in with your AppleID
That will create your own iCloud and iMessage accounts.
You can both use the same AppleID for iTunes and App stores if you wish to share purchases.

Computer won't detect WRT54G router

I got the WRT54G router. I plugged the router into the power source, then i plugged the the cable from the modem to the router, then the cable from the computer to the router. All four lights were lit. Then the computer would never detect the router. I tried plugging in and out, and the same problem. All the cable were in the right places. I'm guessing it has to do with my computer itself rather than the router. I have Windows XP

okay...first off check the physical connection, make sure that computer is connected directly to the no. 1 or no. 2 ethernet port of the router...click on start >> run >> cmd >> type ipconfig and hit enter, find out the IP address and try pinging to default gateway...if you are getting any replies, let me know the ISP details, so that i can tell you step by step configuration of the router...

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?

Replacement of WRT54G Router

I have a router that my cable company feels needs replacing. I don't really know if that is true since they tried to sell me a new router or rent one to me. In any event I would assume that replacement is needed. I am not a geek and my existing WRT54G router was installed by someone else who went through all the work to set up my home network. Ideally, I would like to buy the same model router and use the existing lines to plug into the new router thereby minimizing installation time and trouble. From all of the posts on this site I am certain that installation of a new router is not easily accomplished and is subject to many "gotchas." People spend days installing a router and a fair number of them are not successful. It seems incredible to me that a manufacturer could produce a product that causes so much wasted customer time and anguish.
I am running Win XP ver. 3 with IE ver. 7. I would like experienced advice on which model router would be ideal as a replacement for my WRT54G which has been adequate for my home network. Then I would like advice on whether I should try to do it myself or hire a geek to do it for me. I have next to zero patience and no tolerance for badly written instructions. For those who have traveled down the road I'm ready to go, tell it to me straight.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

WRT54G router is one of the best routers.
Go for Linksys E series router ( model E1000, E2000 or E3000 ). These routers are very easy to install. The speed and the signal strength will be very good as compared to the WRT54G router.
You don't need to hire a technician to install this router. You will get a Cisco connect software with this router. Just run the CD and Cisco connect software will do everything for you. It will automatically secure the wireless network for you.

How do I share internet using WRT54G router?

I have a computer that is connected to the internet, and it has 2 Ethernet ports. I'm using 1 of them to connect to the internet, and I want to use my WRT54G router to connect to the internet through the second Ethernet port, for my wireless devices. Is this possible? If so, how would I set it up. I have it plugged in right now, but it says limited or no connectivity on my computer, and it doesn't appear to be working on my wireless device.

It is something like this. Unplug the Ethernet cable from the computer and plug it to the internet port of the router. Now install another cable from port 1 in router to your ethernet port in your computer. Port 2 to second computer, etc. You will need a wireless adapter on each computer if you want to go wireless.
Now, you have to configure your router. Either use the CD or connect it manually.
Log on to router using 192.168.1.1 and use admin as password. Leave username blank.
Click on Wireless. Now change the SSID to something other than Linksys. Ex. Yankee. Click on save.
Click on Wireless Security. Change mode to WPA2 Personal. Change Algorithms to TKPS+AES. Make up a passphrase (8 charactors or more) Click on Save.
Now go to computer with wireless adaptor and look for your wireless network (ex. Yankee Secured Network) Click on it then connect. It should ask you for the key. Put the passphrase you set up in router.

MacBook Pro crashes my Linksys WRT54G router

I've seen this issue been mentioned as a post in another thread, but I wanted to open a post specifically about this.
When I connect wirelessly to my Linksys WRT54G v6 router (using no encryption), it eventually brings down my router (usually within 5-10 minutes) and becomes unresponsive. I can't access the web admin interface, and other computers connected to the router lose their internet connection as well.
I've tried the following:
- Upgraded the Linksys firmware to the latest version
- UP-to-date on Apple Software update (Mac OS X 10.4.8)
- Set the wireless beacon interval to 50
- Turned off the weather widget
- Set MTU lower
- Pinging a remote location every 8 seconds (using ping -i 8 www.google.com)
Anyone have a similar problem? Anyone found a solution?
MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHz) Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Well Zebra1, some of us are cost-conscious and have
existing setups at home we'd like to leverage.
I think that most of us on this message board would concur.
Maybe I'm just not worthy enough to join the
Apple-snob crowd because I can't blindly spend close
to $200 for something that can be had for less than
half the price (and already paid for)
This is my only gripe with these boards - folks seem to recommend the most expensive solution, and then slam those who recommend less expensive, but still practical, solutions (especially if they are non-Apple). Logically, it makes no sense, but the more expensive option seems to almost always be the one recommended.
Airport extreme base stations may be nice, but they are not without their problems (check the networking section on these boards); it's hard to justify the expense just to get a white box with an Apple logo on it, especially when functionally equivalent routers are available at 1/2 to 1/3 the price.
I'd hardly call Linksys a "two-bit" company. The WRT54G router is one of the most popular WiFi routers out there, and was rock-solid stable for many years. Apple should strive to make sure that their wireless products interoperate well with these devices, due to their popularity. Plus, a bit of a reality check here: even if a person gets an Airport Express base station at home, they won't have one at work, at school, at the coffee shop, etc.
When a $2000 laptop doesn't work with a wireless router that works with every PC laptop in the company, it isn't the router that gets criticized, it's the Mac.
As for alternatives, Apple is hardly the only solution; my D-Link DIR-625 works flawlessly with all of my computers, including my Macs, and I paid < $50 US for it. You need to add more than a USB port and Apple logo to justify that extra $150 US.

AirPort Express drop-out / skips -- Windows XPSP2 w/ Linksys WRT54GS router

Hello,
I'm having some skipping / drop-out issues when streaming music from a Windows XPSP2 fileserver, which runs iTunes 7.3.2.6, to my AirPort Express. I've long suspected my LinkSys WRT54GS router. Here are some things I've tried:
* tried enabling logging on my AirPort Express unit, (I actually installed a Windows SysLog client and ensured it was working) but it reveals no useful information after a skip -- just debug logging. No change.
* changed the wireless channel from 6 to 11. No change.
* Do not have wireless security enabled (just don't broadcast ESS ID). No change.
* Latest firmware on router, AirPort Express, and iTunes. No change.
* All other wireless devices in the house turned off. No change.
I'm seriously considering buying a new wireless DSL router to see if it makes the problem go away (any suggestions to makes or models appreciated). Unfortunately my WRT54GS is not one of the routers that supports reflashing with a third-party firmware, or I would have done this eons ago.
Another thing I am not sure how to test is the signal strength that the Airport Express gets from my LinkSys WRT54GS router. I've not been able to figure out how to get this information, and I also do not know what are considered good / not-good strengths. Any help here would be great.
Here are some details.
AirPort Express with Firmware 6.3, communicating wirelessly over Channel 11 to my LinkSys WRT54GS router with firmware 1.52.0, into which my Windows XPSP2 fileserver is physically connected with CAT5 cable. The music files are served up on a Maxtor DiamondMax 10 7200 rpm 300GB Serial ATA-150 Hard Drive.
I've really tried everything I can think of, and I still get skipping.
Specifically, music will play fine for 45 minutes, or 5 minutes, or an hour; then, the music will suddenly stop. The AirPort Express will continue to have its green LED on, though. The music will resume 1-10 seconds later. This skipping will happen periodically for a 1-2 minute period, usually 2-3 times per minute, go away for an indeterminate amount of time; or, it might persist until I get tired and turn off my stereo. There is no pattern as to time of day so I don't suspect neighborly interference.
Other things in the house are an older 802.11b laptop, 5.8GHz phone, brand new microwave, and a few dozen Palm and Windows PDAs that all have their WiFis disabled, where appropriate.
Any suggestions or ideas would be fantastic. This has been a problem for a couple of years now which I have systematically (though unsuccessfully) tried to solve.
Thanks,
-Jeff

I haven't yet budgeted to buy a different router, but I'll respond when I do as to whether this was the fix or not.
Just an observation ... in your case, the music streams wirelessly from your laptop to your router, and then wirelessly again from the router to your Airport. That's 2 wireless paths it must go. In my case, music streams directly to my router with a LAN cable; then, wirelessly from my router to the airport. So that's only 1 wireless path, and even still I am experiencing problems.

WRT54GS - NO VERSION NUMBER ON THE UNDERNEATH OF THE WAP

Hello
I have a WRT54GS router.
Underneath is the model number WRT54GS followed by nothing else.
I am wondering if there is a firmware upgrade for the router which is currently at 2.07.1.
ap9617

Hi! this router maybe a WRT54Gs v1, 2 or 3. The latest firmware version is 4.71.1 you can try to download the firmware from the Linksys Support site and check the version information just to be sure.

How to change the size of control´s prompt?

No matter the size of data to be displayed in the view suface prompt, the controls have the same size.
Does anyone here know how to change the size of control in surface prompt?

HI,
In order to change the size of a radio button... one way you may consider is to Customise the Radio Button.
Place a Radio Button (RB) on the FP of a VI, Right-Click the RB > Advanced > Customise...
Click the Mode Button (most Left button) for Edit Mode
Right-click the radio button (the round image) now, you will see a list of actions i.e. Copy to clipboard, import picture ...You will see Four images under the 'Picture Item', those are the images that you will need to replace.
Prepare Four Images of the similar but larger expected size
*** Copy the 1st new image to clipboard. Back to the Picture Item and select 1st image. Then, select Import Picture (to replace the existing image)
Repeat *** for all four images.
Once done, change the mode back to original. Save the *.ctl
You are now ready to use the customised radio button!
Quick sample attached (sorry for the poor images created )

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..
Message Edited by jmaxey0122 on 12-16-2009 05:27 AM

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.

WRT54G blank router settings page, then the whole network goes down

Alright, heres the setup:
(1) DSL Modem
(1) WRT54G Router
(1) Desktop WinXP Pro SP2 machine, hardwired to router
(2) WinXP Pro SP2 laptops, wireless - one with built-in wireless, one with a Linksys WPC11 Instant Wireless Network Adapter, version 3.
(1) WinXP Media Center SP2 laptop, wireless
(1) Ubuntu Personal Edition - "Feisty Fawn" 7.04 laptop, wireless
The router has been set up to use WPA-TKIP encryption on channel 6 with an always-on PPPoE connection; it also has an IP of http://192.168.2.1 to avoid an IP conflict with the DSL Modem. DHCP Server is enabled with default settings, MAC Address Clone is disabled, and Operating Mode is set to Gateway. Access is set to allow both B and G, as one of the WinXP Pro laptops is an older model Toshiba that only recognizes the B protocol (that's the one with the WPC11 card).
Here's the problem:
Initially, the setup works flawlessly. All computers are able to see the SSID, connect to the network, and connect to the internet. The connection is fine, doesn't slow down, and is overall pretty healthy. All computers are able to access http://192.168.2.1, and are prompted with the username/password prompt, can change settings, port forwarding, etc.
Now, wait a few days. Usually about a week.
First, the Ubuntu laptop starts to get spotty with it's connection to the internet. After about 10 minutes, the connection to the network starts to fail. Sometimes it will see the SSID, sometimes it won't - and it's not a matter of moving the laptop. It stays pretty much on the same desk and acts as a desktop 98% of the time. If you try to access http://192.168.2.1 nothing happens. No username/password prompt, no "access denied" message. Rebooting the machine doesn't improve the situation. Manually entering in the SSID and password don't work, either.
At this point, all of the other computers are still able to access the internet. However, trying to access http://192.168.2.1 with *any* of the other machines fails. Even if I try to access it with the wired desktop machine, there is no prompt, no error messages, just a blank white page with a "done" status in both Firefox and IE.
After about a day or two of this, all other machines except for the wired desktop computer will cease to see the SSID and all connections to the network fail. No network access, no internet access. The only machine still connected to the network and the internet is the wired desktop machine.
What I've tried:
At this point, I usually power cycle the Linksys router - and viola, back to normal.
As far as settings-side, I've tried changing just about every setting I can that wont break the system; I've tried changing channels, changing the encryption, changing the IP of the router... and nothing seems to fix the problem.
I've also looked at just about every forum, posting, help-reference, and how-to, and I can't seem to find a solution to the problem, or even what's really happening to cause it.
Normally, I wouldn't take issue with having to restart the router. It's not a big issue for me, personally. But I set up this network for someone else, and at the end of this month I am moving, so I would like to fix and resolve the issue so that they don't have to restart the router every week. They are not very tech-savvy people and I don't want to make things more complicated than they have to be. At the least it's a minor inconvenience, and at the most it's a disaster and a call every week from them asking how to fix it.

I have this exact same issue. I'm using the WRT54G v8 with Firmware Version: v8.00.2 (latest version)
The log feature of mine was turned on, so I've turned it off.
As for the P2P, 2 of the 5 computers connected to my network are using it. Are there any suggestions to resolve/help the P2P problem?
I've also noticed that when the 'no setup page' problem happens, if I do an LAN port scan of the router, port 80 is no longer open. Very wierd.
After chatting with the Linksys Tech support, they say to take it back to the store (although I'll try these options first)

Problem connecting to same game server, WRT54G router.

Hello I have a WRT54G router, me and my brother cannot play on the same game server on Team Fortress 2. It kicks the person already in the server when the other person joins and gives a connection issue. We think the game server cannot take the same IP twice in the same server.
We checked IPs on ipchicken.com and we're sure the router giving us the same IP is the problem. If it matters we're connected with ethernet cords, not wirelessly. Is there any way to change the IP addresses or fix this?
Thanks, Matt

The game server will only see the single IP address assigned to the modem or router by your ISP, and won't see the individual computer's locally assigned addresses.
So, unfortunately I see no way around this without subscribing to a separate internet connection with your ISP.

New WRT54G wireless router. Who's the genius that can help me?

I just purchased a WRT54G wireless router. The main reason is my son wanted to be able to use his Sony PSP online. I also have two desktop computers that will be wired thru this router. My question's are. If he is using his PSP online and the desktops are wired, can the desktops be "hacked" if they are on/off? If the router is turned off then the wireless is not working? If I access the router and disable the SSID Broadcast then the wireless portion of the network is off? What are the safest security settings to protect my network?
Thanks.

Dead Mans Zone.... I guess.
Using the DMZ is a very simple and risky way to forward ports. The DMZ takes an ip address of a computer on your network, and forwards all ports to that computer. This is really nice if you are having problems forwarding ports for some program. It can be a life saver if your router will not allow you to properly forward ports. It also has a huge downfall. The computer that is in the DMZ is now wide open to internet traffic. Meaning that it will catch virii, and it will be at risk of being hacked. If you put a computer into the DMZ then please install a software firewall to help protect it
Orange/White. The Cisco logo is the Router’s SecureEasySetup button. It lights up and will stay orange when the Router is powered on. The color orange indicates that the Router is not using the SecureEasySetup feature, while the color white indicates that the Router is using the SecureEasySetup feature. When the Router enters SecureEasySetup mode, the Cisco logo will turn white and start flashing. After the Router has generated the SSID and WPA-PSK (also called WPA-Personal) key, the Cisco logo will stop flashing and stay white.

Reconfi. the wrt54g router

A few days ago I had a power outage and lost connection to the Verizon DSL, but they got me back on after I removed the router, and they reconfig. the modem. They said I would need to have Linksys do the same so sent an e-mail and after receiving the reply, was confused and called them. After trying to understand the operater (couldn't) I ask for a supv. The English was a little better but put me on hold for 10 minutes and then got dropped. After looking over the web site, thought I'd try this. They say disconnect the modem and connect from the comp. to the router and then get on Netscape or Internet Exployer and---but the router will not let me on the internet. Any help appreciated. John Hipsher

well...obviously u won't have any internet connection because the modem is not connected to the router and also the router is not configured....
follow the steps given below :
1) ask verizon to "bridge" the DSL modem... ask them for the username and password
2) on the computer wired to the router , open IE and go to http://192.168.1.1 . logon using the "admin" password .. once on the set up page , click on "Mac Address Clone" subtab , enable it and click clone your pc's mac...click save settings and do a power cycle ..
3) click on "basic setup" tab and select the internet connection type as PPPoE , enter the username and password which is goven by verizon...save the settings
4) click on "status" tab and check the internet ip add.
once u have a correct ip add , u should be online....
