WRT54G v.2 connection problem

I have 2 desktops wired to the router and 1 laptop wireless connected. Everything worked fine for years. After a bad storm knocked out our power my router wouldn't connect to the internet with both desktops connected. It works with one or the other both not both. Also, I can't configure my LAN, and the WLAN LED is not on. I have tried to reset with the reset button with no results. I can't access the web setup page with the 192.168.1.1 IP address and when I check ipconfig/all the IP address is 75.39.121.246. When I checked the IP address on my other desktop, it is 75.39.121.245. After a very long session with a Linksys tech?, the instructions I received didn't help. Nothing I have done so far has made any difference.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on with this router?

I think the issue is that your router is working as a Pass-through device. You may need to upgrade the firmware on this router. So download the latest firmware and then disconnect the modem from the router. Hard reset the router for 1 min, assign a static IP on the PC and then upgrade the firmware.

  • WRT54G Wireless Router connection problem

    I recently connected a Linksys WRT54G to one notebook computer, with a wired connection. This computer uses the Vista Home Basic operating system.  I have another computer using Windows XP Home which I connect to the Internet through this Notebook through my wireless router.  However since replacing my D-Link 11 mbps router with the Linksys Router,  My second computer does not locate my new connection.  I suspect that it has something to do with the settings on the second computer, but can't figure out how to resolve this problem.  Hopefully some of you experts out there can tell me how to deal with this.

    Click on the Start button >>> go to RUN>> type in "services.msc" >>
    click on OK- On the Services Local page double click on the
    option "Wireless Zero configuration"- Here the Startup Type should
    be "Automatic"- Click on the "Start" button and "Apply" the settings
    and OK.
    Deleting Preferred Network 
    Click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>>Network
    Connections >>Here right click on the "Wireless Network Connection"
    icon and select Properties- Click on the "Wireless Network" tab- Make
    sure that ""Use windows to configure my wireless network settings"" is
    checked- In the "Preferred Networks" box select each network name and
    click on "Remove" to make it empty- Click on OK.
    **Click on the "Advanced" button(below the Preferred Networks) and
    make
    sure "Access point(infrastructure) networks only" is selected- And
    also
    make sure that "Automatically connect to non-preferred networks"
    should
    be unchecked >> click on "Close" and click on OK on main properties
    window.
    Connecting to Wireless Network (WLAN)
    Click on the Start button >>> Control Panel >>> Network Connections-
    Right click on the "Wireless Network Connection" icon and select "View
    Available Wireless Networks"- If you see your wireless network in the
    list, highlight it by 'single' clicking on it- Now click on
    the 'Connect' button below- If your wireless network is secured, it
    would ask you to provide the network key- Provide the wireless network
    key and confirm it again in the confirmation box and
    click "Connect" & you should be able to go Online Wirelessly!!!

  • Bizarre WRT54G, DDNS, internet connectivity problem

    The other day, we lost power at home (my cable modem and router are not on a UPS - they will be shortly). The problems started soon after that (it can't be a coincidence, but I'm stumped as to how they are related). After everything powered up, we could no longer connect to the internet from any machine on the network. When I checked the WRT54G however, I found that it was connected to the outside world and had a valid IP from my ISP. Poking around from outside my network (at work, for example) showed me that if I try to connect to my web server, I instead am routed to the router setup page (I have remote config turned off and port forwarding on, and it has worked flawlessly in the past).
    Further investigation showed that my DDNS service (TZO.com) was not working (the error message is "Connect to server fail"). I double-checked with TZO and they do not see an issue on their side.
    Any ideas for further investigation? I'm stumped at this point. I'd almost say the power problem fried the router, but if it did, it seems to be an awfully selective frying. Thanks in advance, and please let me know if there's additional information needed to help.
    My setup:
    Time Warner Roadrunner cable modem (not sure of the type/model)
    Linksys WRT54G router, firmware 4.21.1
    TZO.com DDNS service
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Well try upgrading the firmware of the router & keep on holding tightly the reset button in such a way that power light is blinking on the router & then do a complete network power cycle i.e., unplug the power cables from the modem & from the router & then plug in the power cable to the modem first once all the lights are solid green you could plug in the power cable to the router & check out it will definately work!!

  • WRT54GS V7 loses connection

    My WRT54GS loses its connection periodically, requiring a reboot to get it functioning. Further, it reliably locks up while I play Starcraft 2, booting me from the game due to a connection timeout with clockwork regularity. In these cases, the router will eventually come back online on its own, but does so faster if I reboot it.
    The router has the newest firmware. What could be the problem? How can I test to determine the issue? 
    Thank you! 

    Have you changed the settings on your router as i have mentioned in the earlier post?
    Since there is no change, you can try to download the firmware from the linksys website and update your router.
    Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in search tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop
    Firmware Upgrade/Reflash
    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
    In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
    Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful"  After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
    Now reset your router :
    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...

  • HOME LAN CONNECTION PROBLEM

    HOME LAN CONNECTION PROBLEM
    I set up a 2 unit home net with a Linksys WRT54G Router, One PC hardwired to Port 1 and a Notebook conected via the wireless port. Both PC are Pentium and WXPPRO.
    When I try to browse the local workgroup ("MICASA") I get the following error message: "You have no access to "WorkGroup". You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The server list for this workgroup is not accessible at this moment."
    Wireless has MAC filter enabled and security disabled
    I restricted DHCP adresses to only 2 => 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.101
    Win XP Pro Firewall is disabled in both PC
    I worked as ADMIN with proper password in both boxes. Full file security enabled.
    Shared both C disks with proper local and share permits.
    In registry both PCs have: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/Lsa/"restrictanonimous"=0
    I could see both PCs in "my network places" for a couple of days, with full and proper file sharing, and then both pc's dissapeared. Both PC's access internet properly.
    The obnoxious message listed at the beginning began appearing when I click "Workgroup" in "my network places". I tried everything, including unsetting and re-setting file sharing for C disks. Nothing happens.
    The W2K Resource Kit Browser Monitor reports no brouser on the LAN.
    I can ping one adress from the other and I can log onto the other box shares by typing the name in Windows Explorer (\\Pentium or \\PCdeLidia)
    Any clue will be welcome

    Thank you, timelord.
    I checked the Node setting (ipconfig /all) and it is "broadcast".
    So, I decided to start all over again.
    1) I un-shared all shares in both computers (The notebook and the desktop).
    2) I reset the linksys router and used the Linksys setup wizard to reconfigure it from 0 (cero) - dropped (disabled)  ALL security - Left only admin setup password - Changed the workgroup SSID from "MyHome" To "Home" - just to be sure.
    3) Run network setup wizard in desktop (WXP Pro). Sharing Printers and files enabled.
    4) Stopped and Disabled the WXP firewall in the Desktop (it was disabled, but the network wizard enables it and leaves it running)
    5) Rebooted the Desktop
    6) At this point, I finally could browse the local lan and see my desktop listed
      My Network Places / All the Net / Microsoft Windows Network / "Home" / "Pentium" (my desktop)
    7) Went over to the notebook and re-checked all file-sharing was off, then I erased the WI-FI profile in it (uses the Intel wizard), changed the workgroup name from "My Home" to "Home", Rebooted it and connected it to the Wi-Fi "Home" net that was detected. ALL security disabled, including WXP Firewall.
    8) Now, the whole net is visible from both PC's
      My Network Places / All the Net / Microsoft Windows Network / "Home" / "Pentium" (my desktop)
      My Network Places / All the Net / Microsoft Windows Network / "Home" / "PCdeLidia" (my wife's  notebook)
    9) I enabled a couple of shares in both machines and I could browse them and connect to them
    10) Finally, all goes to hell: I shut-off both PCs and the LinkSys router. Then I powered the linksys, and then the Desktop. The notebook still OFF. And Voilá, same awful post:
    "You have no access to "WorkGroup". You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The server list for this workgroup is not accessible at this moment."
    I'm not even able to see myself.
    One tip: I used the browser monitor from W2K. Before, I was able to see 3 (three) lines listed, no browser. Unfortunately, i did not write it down. Now I can see only the following 2 (two) lines:
    MiCasa \Device\NetBT_TCPIP_ {€ unknown  (Not an Euro sign, something like that)
    MiCasa \Device\NwlnkNb         unknown
    Now I have to quit, no more time, I'll continue later and keep you posted
    Thank you again

  • RG54G2 Wireless Router Internet Connection Problem

    Hi,
    (apologies for the long message - trying to cover all details - summary: wireless router often drops internet connection)
    I recently bought an RG54G2 Wireless Router, a CB54G2 PCMCIA Wireless card and a D-Link GWL-630 PCMCIA Wireless card.  In addition to two laptops connected to the wireless router WLAN, I have two PCs (one Win WP Pro SP 1 and one Win98SE) connected to the router via wired LAN.  I also have a SurfBoard SB3100 Cable Modem connected to the WAN port (this connects to my ISP -  Optusnet (Australia) via DHCP).
    The problem I have is that the internet connection is disconnected many times a day (often every few minutes, sometimes an hour or so).  I am able to reconnect by resetting the wireless router via the wireless router configuration page.  When the internet is disconnected I am still able to access the computers on the LAN/WLAN (via Windows Explorer and Ping), I am also able to ping the router and the Cable Modem, but nothing outside of the cable modem.
    Also, when the internet is disconnected the System Status page indicates that the router is still connected to the internet, and the Diagnostics page passes the Test Connection test, though no external pings work.
    I did not have this problem when the cable modem was connected directly to the Win98SE PC (and other PCs via ICS).
    I have disabled the WLAN and the problem still exists with only the wired LAN.
    I have changed numerous settings in the wireless router config page with no success (eg disabling DHCP and setting each IP address, minimising LAN and WLAN speeds to 10 and 11MBps plus others).
    I have upgraded the wireless router firmware to R1.0.6.0 (no change to the problem).
    Searching on Google I have found several other cases of routers with unstable internet connections (none refering to the MSI routers), but none had solutions that helped my situation (most replies suggested updating the firmware).
    Any suggestions of how to make the router internet connection stable?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    maybe this is the FIX 4 wireles router internet connection problem
    please let me know if any one fix the problem with this tips

    Subject: SOLUTION to my router loosing connection to Windows XP
    Reply | Reply to Author | Forward | Print | Individual Message | Show original | Report Abuse
    I am happy to report that after 8 days of constant battles, reboots, phone
    calls, cable pulling, router changing, it seems that I finally have found a
    combination that has had me using Verizon DSL account for over 12 hours so
    far without any kind of interruptions.
    Since so many of you tried giving me comments and suggestions, I felt that
    it is necessary for me to post this here so that the next person will not
    (hopefully) need to go through this hell as I did!
    My original problem was that when after I purchased a D-Link Wireless Router
    DI-624, I would get disconnected from Verizon DSL at least once every 2
    hours or so. My internet access would "freeze" and then a little popup box
    at the bottom right system tray would tell me that the "LAN cable has been
    unplugged".   After about a minute or so, my internet connection would be
    back working   This was NEVER happening during the 2+ years I was using my
    Westell modem alone (running in router mode).
    Please keep in mind: The problem I was having was not wireless related as
    it was happening to the desktop computer to which the router/westell was
    connected to!
    During these last 8 days, I tried: one DI-624 wireless router, two Netgear
    614v3 routers and two Linksys WRT54G v.2 routers. In addition, I received a
    brand new Westell 2200 modem from Verizon.   I also tried about four
    different CAT-5 cables. Here is the final outcome:
    I have the Linksys WRT54G (version 2) wireless router connected to the
    Netgear Fast Ethernet FA310TX network card in Auto-Sense mode (using the
    built-in XP drivers, as Netgear told me that there was never a newer
    revision released). I have DISABLED the built-in 3Com Gigabit LOM (3C940)
    network card (via the ASUS P4C800 Deluxe motherboard BIOS), DISABLED the
    Zero Wireless Configuration service, and have put in the IP/Gateway/DNS
    address numbers inside my Windows XP Network Connections | LAN setup. My
    operating system is Windows XP Pro SP1 and the modem is a Westell 2200
    configured as bridge only.
    If my situation continues to be stable, I *might* try to go back to the 3Com
    built-in card (disable any power management) and then re-enabling the Zero
    Wireless Configuration services. But in reality, I am happy with the way
    things are and have already spent enough time trying to get my router to
    work with Verizon DSL without having it drop connections!
    Now, the next step will be setting up the WIRELESS part of this. I don't
    even yet have a laptop with me on the premises, but the 802.11g card that I
    already have is the D-Link DWL-G650. I hope and assume that this will work
    okay with the Linksys...
    One thing I must say is that I never realized that how many problems other
    users are having. I would have thought that since 802.11x has been around
    in the mainstream by now 2+ years, that things would have been much more
    "system friendlier".   And again, my issues were not even WIRELESS related.
    All 3 tech supports were not really helpful, as none of them realized that
    the problem is somehow between the router and Windows XP (Ethernet card?)
    loosing a connection, which of course results in Verizon DSL loosing the
    connection also.
    One other comment about the Netgear 614 v.3 router: A number of people have
    responded to tell me that they have had this random "router resetting"
    happen to them (where the routers behaves as if someone turned the power off
    and then back on, and the lights flash) just as if you first turn it on). I
    was lucky to witness it myself during one of the "disconnects" that I had.
    This was actually the reason why I went back to try the Linksys one more
    time. So, I would definitely recommend staying way from this 614 (version
    3) model.
    Once again - THANK YOU everyone!

  • Timeouts and connection problems after 5.1(2) upgrade

    AIM/chat and some other programs are having timeout/connection problems after upgrade to 5.1(2). I am using S241 also. The connection problems stopped when the IPS was set to bypass. Rebuilt IPS and left sigs at default settings and problem is still happening. I am not seeing any of the IPs that are having the problem in the Event Viewer or on the Events in the IDM.
    Any known issues with the 5.1(2) that would cause this type of problem?

    I don't know specifically, but I did notice that 5.1(3) was released today.

    Hi, i am having trouble with my mac mail account, i cannot send or receive any emails because of the server connection problems. Message says it could not be connected to SMTP server. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hello Sue,
    I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
    I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
    It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

  • Unending connectivity problems -- and Desktop Help...

    I'm wasting so much time on connectivity problems that it's positively wearying. Prior to the installation of BT Infinity here in April, I had a low quality broadband service because of the length of the line from the exchange: if I could get a download speed of 1.2Mbps and an upload of a quarter of that, I was doing well. 
    BT advised that thanks to fibre optic, my Internet should run much faster. So we had Infinity installed. I'm registered with Speedtest.net so am able to see my performance record.
    The average download speed is now aroun d 6Mbps and the average upload, more than that at 7Mbps. How an upload speed can consistently be faster than a download escapes me.
    But I'm not familiar with the ways of Internet connectivity and try as a I might, can't get my head around it.
    This desktop computer runs Vista OS. Vista was **bleep** when it came out and is renowned for its botched handling of Internet connections. So I'm not blaming BT for the literally unending connectivity problems that are occurring now, with line drops, speeds slowing to a crawl, and no guarantee that any connection will last. But it would be good to actually use BT software to help fathom out what's going wrong here, and today's typical morning which looks like this:
    1) Boot up computer. Automatic connection to hub via Netgear USB wireless adapter. Hub is on ground floor of this 3-storey property but signal strength from hub  is excellent, as confirmed by inSSIDer monitoring, currently showing 54 with no other networks anywhere near that figure.
    2) Perhaps 5 minutes after connection established, it's then lost. 'Local Only' is displayed. This is, apparently, a known Vista problem. But Microsoft has issued a fix for it. I know this, because it took 100 hours of ploughin g the Net to find out that MS had finally admitted to one more Vista screw-up. I've used the Microsoft router "fix it" before and it didn't work ("failed to process") so uninstalled it and have DL'd it again now and run it. This time it says it has fixed everything.
    3) Computer is re-booted to make the fix effective. Computer connects to Internet. Speedtest.net check yet again confirms that upload speed is faster than download speed.
    4) Connection dies. So much for Microsoft Fix It.
    5) Windows diagnostics reports that it can re-set the IP profile (or something.) I click yes. The re-set goes through. Connectivity is restored. 10 minutes later, connectivity is lost. Just a red X in the tray. No connection of any kind, not even that daft 'Local Connection' only alert.
    6) Reboot. Yet again. BT Desktop Help was installed here and ran OK when we were using our Netgear DSG34 router. But since the change to the BT Hub, the BT program has never run at all. So-oo. . . It has been uninstalled. And then re-DL'd and re-installed. And though the installation  has been completed, clicking on 'launch' has failed to launch anything. But anyway. An hour ago, in one of the brief periods today when the Internet connection was holding up, I Revo-ed out the earlier install, DL'd BT desktop Help and re-installed it. . . and I'm still at the same stage as always, with a  Firefox browser page that's open and completely blank and has been for the past 30 minutes. The URL is:
    file:///C:/Program%20Files/BT%20Broadband%20Desktop%20Help/btbb/Start.html
     Repeated page re-loading gets nowhere. Malwarebytes PRO is turned OFF to prevent any possibility of blocking and the antivirus is termporaily SUSPENDED. This PC runs on Windows standard firewall but even turning that OFF doesn't get the page to load. Copying the address into Internet Explorer in case there's a Firefox problem merely results in Firefox being opened and the same blank page running there.
    7) After all that. . . Connection lost yet again and this time, Windows cannot connect at all. It reports that the "wireless network security key is not correct". I happen to know that it is, because this is maybe the 20th time it has reported this in the past 10 days and every time I have to key in the "correct" key all over again. . . at which point Windows still says it isn't correct and cannot repair.
    Turning off the computer completely, unplugging from the wall, holding in the power switch for a full minute to clear the circuits, traipsing up and dowen three flights of stairs to turn off the hub, then wait, then turn the power back onm again. . . Ah, wot fun times I'm having here with my particular versioin of Infinity (as in, an infinity of connectivcity problems.)
    Summary: I seem to be being simultaneously hit with one issue after another.
    I'm bewildered as to why ever since Infinity was installed here, my upload speed is generally faster than my download speed. I'm not happy with endless Internet connection failures though am thinking that Vista is playing a large part here with its "wrong security key" and unending 'Local Only / Limited Connection' failures. I do miss my Netgear router and the ability to access a fantastic help menu and re-boot directly from the desktop without having to keep going up and down three flights of sdtairs to do so (I haven't been able to find out how toe access the BT Hub remotely.)
    Above all though: I'm  really tired of repeatedly trying to run freshly downloaded and installed BT Desktop Help software but getting no further than a blank page because the program has stalled.
    If anyone has any advice / suggestions, other than to buy a carrier pigeon, that'd be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Thanks again to John and gg30340. Here's an update:
    1) BT Desktop Help removed completely from this computer. The uninstaller itself mopped up everything, which surprised me. But anyway.
    2) Bt Home Hub manager set up and working. Had to input serial number and create new password. All of this sounds fairly easy and would be if one had the device near the desk. But the idiots who built this property shoved the BT master socket inside the garage next to the door. Our two home computers are on the third floor. To ensure the wireless signal strength is OK, the Hub and Infinity module/device/whatever it's called are on a high shelf. It's a major job to even reach the darn things, never mind read the labels seeing as how the BT Infinity engineer was good enough to tidy up the cabling and make a very tight connection to the wall socket.
    3) I had hoped to be able to back up the Hub's settings, seeing as the software provides for Advanced Settings / System / Backup. But not on mine (Hub 3.0). All that System allows is choosing which internet clock to define the accurate time. Everything else in System is just a pattern of short lines as if trying to indicate that there's some text there but it's invisible.This is now my second encounter with BT software which, for whatever reason, isn't functioning as it should on this PC.
    4) Hub reset to factory fresh, according to BT guide.
    5) Reset appears to have achieved nothing apart from requiring the password to be popped in again. After reset, it wasn't even possible to connect to the hub manager. Internet connectivity was eventually established for all of 30 seconds and then, gone.
    6) Computer was shut down and then booted anew. Internet connectivity is still. . . dreadful. One minute everything's fine and then, literally,. the next minute a webpage won't load. Even opening the Hub Manager has taken three attempts, i.e., disconnecting from the Internet, re-connecting, failing, and trying twice more until success. Yet all the time these failures are occurring, the tray icon is showing a steady, unwavering green icon for Local and Internet access -- despite the fact, there manifestly isn't any.
    7) Speedtest. net tests are actually showing upload and download 'trajectories' going slower and slower and finally halting at some point on the arc, then after a period of up to 30 seconds, suddenly becoming animated again. Speed test results with broadband speed checker UK and Think Broadband's checker are so at variance with one another, and with Speedtest, net, that it seems all three are using different technologies in pursuit of the same thing. Either way, upload speeds continue to be much, much faster than download speeds, a state of affairs I certainly have never encountered before.
    8) Speedtest net tests taken in the past 10 minutes, with one test following on from its predecessor, begin at 8.24 down/8.88 up, followed by 5.24 down / 6.40 up, followed by a mind-numbingly lonnnnng 0.62 down / 8.70 up -- in other words, a continuous yo-yoin g of Internet connectivity to the pooint that it actually might as well not even be here (I've had to make five attempts just to get on to this forum. . .)
    9) BT Speedtest will necessitate disconnection of everything downstairs and all boxes being lugged up here. This is actually going to require uncoililng tied-off cabling and hanging off a stepladder to do so -- though I surely can't be the only person in Britain who doesn't have a nice, handy BT master socket in their study or lounge. That said though: until we switched to Infinity, we *never* experienced these kinds of horrendous connectivity problems and never had need to unplug the Netgear router downstairs and bring it upstairs to connect directly to tjhe desktop PC so BT's own test could be run.
    I'll just have to get to work dismantling stuff tomorrow. However, I have to say that after a factory re-set which has changed nothing at all, I'm beginning to think there's a problem with the BT line itself (hence why I'm happy to follow the advice here, though less than happy at the prospect of the messing about involved.)
    Thanks, you two, for your patient help, and also for clarifying the situation re the three signal paths being shown on inSSIDer. At least I know that's usual now! And now, hopefully, when I press 'Post', I won't be faced with an endlessly spinning Firefox circle culminating in  what may well be, or seem to be, the 57,938th time today of seeing "Page Not Found". . .

  • PHP and MySQL Connection problem

    I am trying to make a PHP MySQL on a remote server connection in Dreamwesaver CS3.
    When I enter the information (host, user, password, etc.) and hit TEST, I get the following error message.
    "Access Denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem. Make sure you have proper authorization on the server and the server is properly configured."
    I know the user, password, etc. work, as I can access the MySQL database with other software.
    I checked with my host and they say there are no permission problems on their end.
    I have checked the settings on the Test Server page in Site Setup and everything looks correct and works there.
    I have not seen this particular problem described in other forum postings (although there are a LOT of postings on this topic!).
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I thought my testing server was the remote server and is always on as far as I know. I don't know how to turn it on or off.
    Is there some other testing server that I should be aware of?

    I know you are using remote, but is your testing server on? if not turn that on and see if that does it. it just happened to me working on remote server and could not get mysql conn to work, until I turn on my testing (developer server), then I was able to connect to mysql and the tables that I created in phpmyadmin remotly was downloaded.

    Hi
    I am experiencing wireless connection problem on 4s after ios 8.1 upgrade. The wireless icon appears showing that it's connected but webpages do not load. I have checked my internet connection with other devices and seems to be alright. what to do?
    I have tried reseting the network settings and forgetting my wireless connection and re-connecting to it. I even backed up my phone on itunes and restored it, factory reseted it. Nothing seems to work.
    Also after my upgrade to ios 8.1 my personal hotspot option under cellular data has disappeared.
    Would you please help me out? I would really appreciate it.

    Hi..
    Restart your router then restart the iPhone to test.
