Wrt54g router problem

I have a WRT54G ver 8.2 router that is hard wired to 2 desktop computers and wireless to a laptop computer.
In the past I would turn the dsl modem, router, and the computers off at night. The next morning,I would turn everything on again. The 2 desktop computers would work fine accessing the internet but I had trouble with the laptop. Most of the time, I would get connected but would lose the connection after a short period of time. I could get the laptop connected to the internet by turning the router off and then on again. If I leave the DSL modem and router on all the time, I have no problem with the laptop.
Do you have to leave the dsl modem and router on all the time or can you shut both of them down at night? Is there something wrong with the router?
Thanks in advance

It is not recommended to shut both of them down at night...Leave them both turned on...

WRT54GS ROUTER PROBLEM

I HAVE A WRT54GS WIRELESS ROUTER. TRYED TO SET IT UP. AFTER DOING SO IT WILL NOT CONNECT WIRELESS UN LESS I ALSO CONNECT TO A BROADBAND CONNECTION ON THE CONPUTER. SO IN SHORT TO CONNECT WIRELESSLY I HAVE TO FIRST CONNECT TO A BROADBAND CONNECTION ON MY LAPTOP THEN CLICK THE WIRELESS CONECTION AND CONNECT THAT TOO. , THEN EVERYTHING WORKS FINE. EITHER ONE NOT CONNECTED WILL NOT LET IT WORK. AND YES I AM NOT HARDWIRED AT ANY TIME.
THANK YOU
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I see. Do you still remember your username and password?
You need the router to do the PPPoE authentication instead of your computer. That way, you don't have to click the broadband icon.
Log in to the router's setup page and follow this procedure. Start at Step7.

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.

Online Games Problems With WRT54G Router

Hi There ppl,
I have a Lan House with 50 comps working, and most of my costumers are looking for online games entertainment (Cabal Online, Ragnarok, Dota, CS, 9 Dragon etc). We have an 8 Gb DSL connection and another one of the same speed for back-up (not running simultaneously at the moment). We should be having outstanding results for online gamming (and we were before installing the new router) but we are having several problems since we install a new LinkSys WRT54G router here. Our physical configuration is the modem, followed by the router, than three DLink Switches(24 ports) and my main computer. Everything cable
What we noticed is that the Internet connection looks normal (even using the command "ping", nothing strange appears, no timed out at all!) but online games (specially the above mentioned) have an intermitent connection. (Some times they connect, some dont)... Looks like it happens usually when I have the house crowded, but already showed also with it empty.
Another issue is that I am using the LinkSys Advisor to help identifying this problem, but I am getting even more confused, because its giving new information each time I refresh the "my network" window. Also happens when showing "My Network Settings" on the Support Tab.
Im using Firmware 8.00.0, what I think is the newest.
I didnt try any forwarding port issue yet, as I would like to receive more information about it (never needed to configure anything related before). Concerning the MTU value I already tryed withou any significantly result.
Please If anyone had the same problem, or have any idea of other possible tests, i would appreciate a lot.
Thank you and have a great day all

Hi there Helm,
Tks for your attention and reply to my issue!! Yesterday right after posting here (when we closed the doors and I could be able to work on it) I did get the latest one (8.00.2) and also set up manually the MTU value to 1500 (standard is automatic). I also unckeck the "anonymous internet request bock", "Multcast filter" and "Filter NAT forwarding", all of them were checked as standard. I also checked the "HTTPS Internet Access" (standard is only HTTP).
At a first moment I could get a very low sensitive better result (but the Lan was closed, so I had the entire 8Gb for my requests). I came back to work right now, and we have about 30 ppl in, mostly using the Internet, MSN and so... I am trying yo connect to Cabal Online, and GG-Esports (Warcraft, Dota) both of them giving the same problems as always... I am really getting tired and disapointed with LinkSys, I really though I would have much more than I am having right now.
Anyway I gonna keep trying each night to see what I cant get. I do post here If I find any solution (or if I really decided to move to another brand)
Thank you a lot and have a great night out there

WRT54G ROUTER CONNECTION PROBLEM

I have a WRT54g router.
Everything works great for a period of time even after turning the computer, internet modem and router on and off several times.
Then I turn everything on and the computer does not connect to the internet.
It go and connect the computer directly to the internet modem and I have internet access.
To be able to use the router again I have to reset the modem and input all the settings which I do with the setup disk.
I have been using channel six in case this makes any difference.
Any help will be appreciated.

connection DMS: HSD1.fl.comcast.net
IP address          :192.168.1.100

reply                      :bytes 32   time 1ms   TTL 64
It does not connect to the internet now but if I reset in the back of the modem and reload the setting via the original CD that came with the unit it starts to connect. Eventually one of the times that I power up it stops connecting to the internet although it still ping's out.
I also tried to load the update of the newer solfware but it does the same with or without the update.
Thanks for your help.

Wireless to Wired PC problems with WRT54GS router

I am helping a friend troubleshoot a home network with a high-speed DSL line, WRT54GS router, 3 wired XP PCs and two laptops connecting to the router via 80211.g
The desktop PCs see each other on the network and can share files and printers.
However the laptops via WIFI don't see the wired desktops on the network, nor can the desktop PCs see the laptops on the network. I tried running the XP network wizard on each laptop with no luck. I tried some ping tests with the following results:
When I ping a laptop from a desktop, I get a return ping
When I ping a desktop from a laptop, I can NO return ping.
When I ping the IP address of the router from a desktop, I get a return ping
When I ping the IP address of the router from a laptop, I can NO return ping.
I tried disabling the firewall features internal to the router with no luck.
All machines are running Macafee total security with a firewall. I made sure the firewall was disabled for these tests.
I would appreciate some advice.
Thanks

Turn on file & printer sharing on all computers. Make sure they are all on the same workgroup. Do not use network wizard.
Log on to the router and setup your wireless settings & wireless security. Change the network name from Linksys to something else. Copy these settings on a piece of paper. Now go to your laptops and find the network you just created. It will ask you for the key or passphrase. Input the passphrase you just created. If it does not work you will have to manually configure your wireless settings that you written on paper.

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?

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.

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.

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.

WRT54GS dhcp problem

Hello, At our office we use a WRT54GS router (firmware v7.50.5) . The configuration is pretty simple : uplink switch -> Linksys router -> wireless & wired network . The local network setup chosen is with dhcp enabled.The problem is that the dhcp acts like a "dhcp-relay",it forwards the dhcp requests .And on the same vlan our wan is,we do have a dhcp server ; our computers get IP from there. In the setup page I have no option regarding "dhcp relay",it just doesn't work.Why it is forwarding the requests and not processing itself ? Thank you,

problem solved,there was a loop in the LAN.

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.

WRT54GS router loses WAN DNS

I have a WRT54GS router that loses the WAN DNS from time to time. I go into the router and check the router status and the IP is set to a LAN IP address and no DNS entry. I release and renew the DNS and it picks up the WAN IP and DNS OK. This happens time to time.
At first I was powering everything down and then on – the router would NOT pick up the ISP DNS – always stayed with the LAN IP settings and no DNS. If I put a computer directly to the cable modem it worked OK.
Later I discovered if I went into the router status – releasing and renew would pick up the ISP DNS and stay until the next event.
I called Linksys and was advised to upgrade the firmware which seemed to help but this reoccurred again.
Any thoughts? Should I replace the router?

I have reloaded the firmware several times and with the support guy on live chat followed his instructions for a HARD RESET - the problem happened again after all that.
I see through web searches that a lot of people have the same issue but never really report a solution - just a lot of repeat suggestions.
Time will tell.

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...
