WRT54G v.4 with macbookpro

I have had my WRT54G v.4 from 2006 and it has been working fine so long when I used for my desktop and my HP laptop . Recently I bought an Mac Book Pro os X v10.6.3 but refused to connect to internet by wireless. But I don't have no problem connecting with ethernet ? Did I need to try to upgrade the firmware on my linksys router ? I'm afraid to lost my ethernet connection after the firm upgrade ….

It is always recommended to upgrade/re-flash the firmware on the router. Also, Make sure that while upgrading the firmware on the router select the correct hardware version of the router.

I have a WRT54G Wireless modem with firmware version 1.02...

I have a WRT54G Wireless modem with firmware version 1.02.1 Mar 4 2003. i down loaded the latest firmware for the modem but i can't install it. I get the erroe message"incorrect image file".
What is wrong?

Which version of the WRT54G do you have? If it is not clearly stated on the router, go to Wikipedia.org and search for WRT54G, then you can use your router's serial number to determine which version of the router you own.
The version of the router is important. Each version has a different set of hardware in it, so each version takes a different firmware.
You can only load the firmware that corresponds to your model and version.

Using WRT54G and WET11 with another router as the Gateway

I have a wired network in the house with access to the Internet through a router on the 2nd floor. I connect a ReplayTV DVR in the basement to the network with a Cat5 cable running across the floor between the DVR and a switch. I'd like to replace that with a wireless solution.
I have at my disposal one WET11 bridge and two WRT54G routers. Neither of those routers is the one connecting the house to the cable modem. Is there a way I can connect one of the WRT54G routers to a switch in the basement and have it talk to the WET11 connected to the DVR on the other side of the basement?

I made some progress, but then ran into a couple of snags. I'm not routing with the WRT54G so I connect it to a switch through one of the 4 ports that is not the one labeled Internet.The network looks like this:
Cable Modem --> Netgear Router --> Switch --> WRT54G(port 1)
Laptop --> WRT54G(port 4)
With that cable arrangement I was able to log in to the WRT54G's administration page from my laptop, give the WRT54G a name and change it's IP address to 192.168.1.251. I left the subnet as 255.255.255.0.I also started to configure some other settings, but I did not write them down. I was able to access the Internet from the laptop at that time.
I was also able to move the cable going from the laptop to port 4 on the WRT54G with the WET11 Ethernet Bridge and could access the Internet. And, I was able to remove the bridge, turn on the laptop's wireless capability and access the Internet through a wireless connection to the WRT54G.
I tried to access the WRT54G's admin page wirelessly, but was not able to get to the login screen. I ran out of time and set everything aside for a week. When I got back to it, I was unable to access the WRT54G's loging screen. I can still connect the laptop to port 4 on the WRT54G and reach the Internet, but I cannot do so using the bridge.
Is there some tool I can use to determine the IP address of the WRT54G? I tried resetting (using the button on the back), and I tried several IP addresses in addition to the one I'm pretty sure I used. I'm assuming that I'm trying to log in using the wrong IP address.
I have a second WRT54G that I can still log on to. However, I don't want to do anything with it until I understand what I did wrong with the first one. (Both of them are version 6.)
Another snag is that I was never able to get the setup program to find the WET11. It claimed that it couldn't find the one I had plugged into the laptop's Ethernet port, even though I was able to connect to the Internet using that bridge to the WRT54G. However, that does not work anymore.
Pointers as to what went wrong would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi, i have had to replace my WRT54G ver#3, with Same mode...

hi,
i have had to replace my WRT54G ver#3, with Same model Ver#8. i set up both my desktop and laptop no problems. Got both up and running just fine. However reconnecting with my ITOUCH is another issue. No matter what i have done, including resetting router a second time did not work. I even took it to the Apple store and it connected there no problem. Anyone have any suggestions on what the settings should be. I have the print out of all my network settings available to me.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
Linda

If you are online with wireless laptop connecting to your own network ..... I don't think that it is an issue related to router .....
Check the settings in the I-Touch it self...... configure it according to the settings in the router ....
See if it shows connected ....

Download the firmware update and look at the *_ver.txt (or whatever the version file is called for your particular router) to see if the changes affect the functionality you use.

Look down the list for your model and version and you'll see the specs on your router.

WRT54G Ver 7 with P2P application

I searched over the Internet for a long time and found that the following facts (problems) on WRT54G Ver 7 with P2P application:
1. No maximum connection port can be configured from the factory firmware.
2. Router hang when maximum connection port reached.
2. No custom firmware like DD-WRT or Tomato can be used in Ver 7.
3. No available official firmware update yet.
Conclusion: Nothing can be done except giving up those applications.
Please correct me if any wrong

I (mistakenly) updated firmware of my WRT54G Ver 1 with firmware V 7. The router is still working fine but now I have this problem: when I open the router for setting, the menu is unreadable and I cannot acces the menu. How can I repair it, or how to rollback? Thanks for anyone who can help.

Read the support articles for your router. Look for the article regarding a "blinking power light". It describes how to flash your router through tftp instead of the web interface. Follow the instructions and load the correct firmware with tftp to the router.

Configure WRT54G Wireless Router with PUBLIC IP address and use DHCP for internal computers

Hi,I have an Internet online service with 5 public IP addresses. The router and the AP are connected to a switch. I would like to configure a WRT54G wireless router with one of this IP public Address and use DHCP (with private ip address) for the computers that will connect to the AP. As the AP is connected to the switch it is possible that other wired computers that are connected to the same switch can obtain an IP address from the DHCP ?
Thansk in advance

Thanks for your help. Please correct me if Im wrong. After connecte the equipments the way you suggestI setup a static IP address (The public IP) in the WRT54GI enable DHCP in the WRT54G with a range from 10.10.0.100 to 10.10.0.200 (as an example) The gateway is the Public IP address right ? How do I route the 10.10.0.x addresses to the public IP address. Thansk again

Step by step complete setup for WRT54G ver.6 with Laptop and XBOX 360

Hello. I am sorry to post this, I am sure it is a juevenile and redundent question...but I have tried to look for the set up cd (I can find where to download it...though I can find the firmware upgrade or whatever). My friend at work said it would do all the setup pretty much automatically for me.
I somewhat know computers, but you might go ahead and make your replies VERY lamen's terms or I might not be able to follow. Anyways, what I need, is a step by step/screen by screen directions for a secure network. I have made a partial attempt at setting it up and it technically works, but I would feel better if I did the steps a-z in order, so I know that it is done correctly. I also am not totally confident in its security as it is now. (Also, technically, I did not check the XBOX again after getting the new laptop, I am just assuming it is still working because it was before).
My problem is I can't seem to find very good directions for setting up the router...I only find partials or confusing directions.
So here are the things I am trying to connect:
Liksys WRT54G ver. 6
Gateway Laptop running Windows Vista
XBOX 360 - WIRED
(I had a PC and a laptop, but they both died at the same time and I have only been able to replace the laptop at this point...the PC will come later and not sure at this point if it will be Wired or not).
I have a cable Modem between the Router and the wall...I didn't look at that for brand/etc...but I can get it ASAP if needed.
Here are the settings that I have so far:
Changed the Router Name
Changed the SSID
Have DHCP set to 3 (XBOX, PC, Laptop)
Wireless SSID Broadcast: Disable
Username and Password changed to my own info
UPnP: Enable
I may have changed other things without knowing it. So like I said, a complete, step by step screen by screen set up would be totally appreciated. I haven't done anything in the security tab, all that is totally foreign to me, so I am just not broadcasting for now until I can get some help setting things up with you guys.
And if someone is familiar with the Laptop/XBOX 360 setup, and I need to change any of the settings on the XBOX itself, could you please include that in your directions? I know that isn't technically what THIS forum is for, but it would sure be helpful to me if you happen to know both parts anyways.
Thanks a lot (in advance)!

So all you just need to do is, secure your Wireless Network. Follow the setps bellow and change the settings on your Router.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select TKIP...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

Is it possible to use old Apple Flat Panel Display (62 watt power adapter) with MacBookPro 13" Mid-2012 running 10.8.4? Tried mini display to VGA cable

Is it possible to use old Apple Flat Panel Display (62 watt power adapter) with a MacBookPro 13" Mid-2012 laptop? Would like to use larger screen when working at home. I have a mini display port to VGA cable and have tried to hook up the old display but it seems not to work. When I try to activate the screen on the old display-- a window comes up in the MacBookPro and asks me if I want to shut down the computer. What little I have read it that the MacBookPro had Thunderbolt and the old display may not be compatible? Any assistance would be appreciated.

11.09.12 22:16:06,148 ClamXavSentry[286]: I will quarantine infected files
This doesn't have anything to do with your problem, but it will likely cause other issues with your e-mail.
Here's my standard recommendation concerting the use of A-V software to deal with potentially infected messages:
Never use ClamXav (or any other A-V software) to move (quarantine) or delete e-mail. It will corrupt the mailbox index which could cause loss of other e-mail and other issues with functions such as searching. It may also leave the original e-mail on your ISP's e-mail server and will be re-downloaded to your hard drive the next time you check for new mail.
So, if you choose to "Scan e-mail content for malware and phishing" in the General Preferences, make sure you do not elect to either Quarantine or Delete infected files.
When possibly infected e-mail files are found:
Right-click/Control-click on either the infection or file name in the ClamXav window.
Select "Reveal In Finder" from the pop-up menu.
When the window opens, double-click on the file to open the message in your e-mail client application.
Read the message and if you agree that it is junk/spam/phishing then use the e-mail client's delete button to delete it (this is especially important when the word "Heuristics" appears in the infection name).
If you disagree and choose to retain the message, return to ClamXav and choose "Exclude From Future Scans" from the pop-up menu.
If this is a g-mail account and those messages continue to show up after you have deleted them in the above manner, you may need to log in to webmail using your browser, go to the "All Mail" folder, find the message(s) and use the delete button there to permanently delete them from the server.
To fix the corrupted mailbox index(es), highlight each one that was corrupted and choose Rebuild from the appropriate menu.

How Do I Configure A WRT54G to Work With A Cisco 2800 Router

I'm helping my dad set up a new network. He has a Cisco 2800 series router that connects to the internet via two T1 lines. From this connection, he supplies internet service to his customers. The router was installed and configured with help from AT&T who monitors the router and advises my dad if there are problems.
The Cisco 2800 is not my reason for posting.
He wants to connect his home computers to the 2800. He has one desktop and two wireless laptops and wants to use a WRT54G to connect those computers to the 2800 router. How should he configure the WRT54G to connect to the 2800?
Thanks!

That's what I thought. So it is really no different than connecting the WRT to a DSL modem or cable modem as far as the setup goes. Good then.
Now, next question;
Would this network setup be correct?
Connect a 5-port switch to the 2800
Connect the WRT54G to the 5-port switch.
Configure the laptops to connect throught the WRT54G.
Connect the desktop (Ubuntu 9.10) to the 5-port switch via Ethernet cable (bypass the WRT54G).
Would there be IP conflicts or domain problems? I ask this because this is how his LAN is presently setup and he seems to be getting random connectivity problems on his Ubuntu desktop machine. One day it works fine. The next day it won't connect. Sometimes, even after he is connected, it stop works midstream. It also takes 10 minutes or so to boot up. The laptops always work without issue.
The two laptops would be issued IP addresses of 192.168.1.xxx but the desktop would be getting 12.83.xxxx.xx(something similar). The desktop's internet IP would receive its internet IP from the 2800 via DHCP just like the WRT54G is receiving its IP from the 2800. The two would essentially be on different LANs connected to the same router. Do you forsee any issues here?
Thanks!

WRT54G not working with Satellite internet

Please help!
I purchased the Linksys WRT54G a few months ago, set up my home network (laptop with wireless running XP, desktop hard wired to router running 2000, and desktop wireless running XP) everything worked great!
I got the internet installed.  We ( the installer and I ) got the internet to work on my laptop, and he left, said the rest is up to me! I did not think it would be to bad, but I am stuck!!
My laptop no longer connects to the network! - I can ping the WRT54G but can not see any thing else. I can connect to the internet only if I plug directly into my laptop, if I go into the Linksys it will not work from any computer! My other two computers still see the network and can talk to one another but not to the laptop. I can no longer print from the laptop (which I could do before) the printer is off of the 2000 destop, used to work great!
I have tried some things that I seen here on the forms, "cloned the Mac address" "updated the firmware" and "power cycled" until I am blue in the face, but to no avail!
Additional info - There is a Linksys 8 port 10/100 Switch placed after the Satellite modem, to connect some other hard wired pc's in the house.
It goes Satellite modem - Switch - (some computers attached here) - Router - (rest of the PC's attach here).
I hope you can understand my ramblings!
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Satellite modem: LAN side set to 192.168.1.1 (assumed)
  dhcp enabled: range: 192.168.1.20-200
Switch: if this is an intelligent switch set it to 192.168.1.2
  dhcp: disabled
Router: set to 192.168.1.3
  dhcp: disabled
If the satellite modem using a different base setting (ie. 192.168.222.1) you must adjust all other values(222) to match.
