Wrt54g v5 disconnects only wired comp

this just started happening the other day my router will only disconnect my wired pc non of my wireless pcs or my wired xbox 360. ive updated the firmware to the latest version with no luck. and its getting worse at first i would just reset the router and it would be back now i have ot reset and plug my cable into a diff port then back for my comp to connect to the internet. does anyone know any fixes or is it possible to use a router on a pc using 2 nic cards (modem-pc-router) to cut out he middle man so this can stop?

to further isolate the problem, can you bypass the router and see if you will still experience the problem.. cuz it might be a modem problem...

I want to buy a new apple tv but it used hdmi cables and my house is only wired for analog. Is there any way I can use the apple tv on analog cables?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It's do-able, but I don't think it's a great idea.
DVI
Some users with DVI have managed to get their TV's to work with DVI-HDMI cables. DVI carries no audio, so alternative connections need to be explored to enable audio. DVI doesn't necessarily support HDCP as well as other standards used by HDMI (which may or may not be an issue)
Analogue
There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
HDCP
HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
Resolution and aspect ratio
I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p (Apple TV 2), 720p/1080p (Apple TV 3)

HT1222 I got disconnected after the release of the last update! I'm disconnected only from the app store and itunes. Do i have to update to activate my account? What to do, i'm stuck.

Have you restarted your phone?
If so, try a reset. Press and hold the home & sleep/wake buttons until the screen goes blank, ignoring the power off slider if it comes up.
Check for the app again after the phone starts back up.

Connecting two WRT54GS to the same (wired) router (non-linksys)

Due to some security issue I have to connect two WRT54GS to the same wired router.
Do I connect the first WRT54GS to one port of the router and the second one to another port?
And is the connection on the WRT the ethernetport or the internetport?
And can I reach both the configuration screens or do I have to change the
adress of one of them to e.g. 192.168.1.2 ?
Regards,
hENK.

I will suggest you to connect the LAN port of wired router to LAN ports of both WRT54GS ........ Th connectino to WRT54GS is Ethernet Port ......
Regarding the Ip address of WRT54GS ..... change the Ip address of first wireless router from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.2 ........make the DHCP service disabled ....
For the other router the Ip address would be 192.168.1.3 ...... DHCP service again disabled .........
For accessing the set up page of both router use the new Local Ip address.........on the explorer address bar ......

WRT54G Gaming disconnects

I have a WRT54G Version 8 Wireless router. My computer is hard wired to the router while my wifes is wireless. if we are both online & I am playing a online game the router will disconnect me from the game but not the internet. my wifes computer sometimes will totally lose her connection when this occurs. If I try to reconnect to the game it disconnects me about every minute. Once this happens the only way to fix it is to unplug the router,wait 10 seconds & then plug it back up. I was going to try to set the MTU to the ping i was getting to the game servers but it was below 900 so I didn't change it. then today my router totally reset it's self to all default settings. I have no idea whats going on. Can anyone help??

Open router set up page using http://192.168.1.1 ….. Click on status check the firmware of router.
Follow this link
After upgrade of router reset for 20-30 seconds & reconfigure the router.
Use MTU size 1365.

WRT54G Wireless not working - Wired is fine

You may have seen my last post, where I asked how to set up static IPs within my little network and do a couple other things - thanks for the advice, everything seemed to work great.
BUT I'm not getting wireless to work. I don't think this is a product of my changes, as 1) I haven't been using wireless in the past and 2) I tried changing things back and trying (as a control) and still had the same problem.
Running a WRT54G router, hardwired to three computers (each which also has wireless capabilities). For freedom from wires, tried switching over to wireless. I disabled the "wired" adapters to prevent any interference, and turned on the wireless ones (linksys notebook G adapters and a G pci adapter).
I had the "wired" adapters set up for static IPs within the 10-20 range (192.168.1.10[to 20]). This worked fine. I switched my routers IP to something else, still works. Turn on MAC filtering, and added all six MAC addresses, still good. Then I tried to configure the wireless adapters for static IP like I did the "wired", and used them and got nothing. Tried pinging the router from the comps, and the comps from the router - 1005 packet loss. Went back and set up the adatpers to DHCP (which is still enabled on the router) and still not getting a connection. Tried no encryption, WEP and WPA2 PSK - not working.
My only thought is, I detect like literally 20-25 networks in my area (I live in NYC in a apartment). I can detect my network's SSID, and signal strength is perfect (it should be, all comptuers are within 30 feet of each other ) but when I try to connect, I get the waiting/status bar for like five minutes and then nothing. Are there settings I can use to help optimize my network to deal with all the interference? Are there other troubleshooting things I should try? My last trip here for advice turned out really well - appreciate your help.

hi , You can try a few things here...specially since you have so many wireless networks around you.
bring up network connections, right click on the wireless network connecting and bring up properties...select the wireless networks tab and remove all networks from under "preferred networks".....once done , add your network.You can specify the encryption keys under the association/authentication tab. One more thing,under the preferred networks , you have an advanced button....hit that and select the 2nd option...
on the router you can try and change the beacon to 50 and reduce the RTS and fragmentation threshold by 40 each...these are found under the advanced wireless settings.

Wrt54g reboots when only vaio laptop connects

Running the wrt54g with no broadcast ID, MAC filtering, and WPA.It works great for all laptops I have except a sony vaio which does eventually work but only after it causes the router to reboot. This is mainly annoying since when others are connected the reboot can affect them. Once the router reboots [first time], the sony can be reconnected (as long as the router is powered up, it seems to remember something) and the router will not reboot a second or third time. I have done what I can with sony but alas, no joy. Other than this one laptop problem, I experience no others. Also upgraded to firmware 8.2, same problem. any suggestions? newbie22

Check if you have static ip assigned on Lenovo computer.
If yes, then set it on “Obtain an IP automatically” to do so follow this link .
If it is already on “Obtain an IP automatically” then try to upgrade/re-flash the firmware of the router.
To do that first download the firmware from here and then follow the below mentioned steps
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 login to the setup page of the router and check the firmware version of the router it should be updated.

WRT54GS v7 Disconnects random

I have a problem, my wireless router has been disconnecting randomly for about as long as i can remember. i upgraded its firmware to 7.50.6 and it still does it. Most of the time that it happens it connects right back up within seconds but sometimes i have to reboot it (unplug and plug the power cord). Its getting very annoying because sometimes im downloading something or streaming something and it gets disconnected or when playing some games on my PS3 i lose all my progress and waste 20-30 minutes for nothing . it basically has normal default settings except it has a WPA Personal TKIP password. but everything else is set to default. When it disconnects it disconnects both wireless and wired connections. It happens to the laptop, desktop , and even my ps3 when playing online. Can anyone help me out ? Any help is very appreciated, Thanks.

Since you have already upgraded the firmware of your Router, have you resetted your Router and reconfigure all the settings on it again, If not then 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...
Here are the wireless settings which you can set on your Router, I think this might solve the problem.
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 WEP, Encryption should be 64 bit.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...
Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
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...

WRT54G V5 disconnects

I have a WRT54G wireless router. Lately every 20 minutes aprox. the router seems to disconnect my modem and knock it offline briefly. When I have my modem directly connected to one of my PC's this issue does not take place. I have the latest firmware version for the router and have tried two of the same routers and the issue still happens. I am using a satelite connection through xplornet.com Anyone know of anything that will fix this in the router settings? It didn't happen for the first few months using the router, only recently.

I have read on other forums that these router are fairly touchy as far as how much data you can push through them before they give up and reboot. Have you recently started using any file sharing programs that could be potentially generating more traffic than your router can handle? If you yourself have not started using a program ilke this, then has someone else that could be connecting your network? Do you have any type of wireless security setup? If not then I would recommend doing so in order to stop people from abusing your connection. Another posibility is that there could be something else residing on your omputer generating traffic, like a virus. In the past there have been several viruses that generate enormous amounts of traffic on networks. Check the LEDs on the front of the router and see if any of them are blinking unusually fast.

WRT54GS v6 Disconnecting

I've had the router for about two years now. About a year ago, the router would all of a sudden stop at exactly 12:01, and then reconnect to the internet. At first this was annoying, having my connection dropping in the middle of doing something important was a hastle. After a while, I figured out the pattern and was able to get around that. But now there is an even bigger problem.
It randomly disconnects now, starting a few weeks ago. During the mornings, it's not nearly as bad; I'd say a disconnect once every hour to two hours. However, during the middle of the day to night, it can diconnect every 5 minutes or LESS. Sometimes I cannot even load a home page before the connection drops.
There is nothing blocking the antennas.
My main computer is a wired connection.
I have reinstalled the latest firmware.
Nothing has changed around the router within the last two years, no new phones or what not.
It is not an ISP problem; if I plug directly into the modem there are no connection drops.
When this happens, I run into the router room and notice that the orange light has gone off and then comes back on when the connection is working again.
Please help me figure this out, I'm a few days away from giving up with this router and buying a new one!

After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you have not done this since your last firmware upgrade, please do this now and see if it corrects your problem. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
To reset the 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...
After resetting the router you should re-configure it...

WRT54G v7 disconnections solved

Hi,
I updated the firmware with this one and the disconnection and out of service problems went out.
The update was done from router Web admin panel and the configuration of precedent firmware (7.00.4) has been saved.
Now the problem is that Web page has been a bit screwed. A file (share.js) containing JavaScript is broke and some code of the page is not written. The page still have correct Spanish (I live in Spain) characters with all tildes and nothing of chines (that's why the Web of link is in chines ).
Maybe the problem is just the JavaScript file with incorrect code but i don't know how to solve this, since access to file is not an option (or it is???).
Well fortunately I think I could write a local page with frames to correct this... meanwhile my wifi router WRT54G v7 is still working without an issue (and with p2p softwares running all the times).

Hi...
Try reseting and reconfiguring the router. Also set it up as keep alive specify the redial period. Change the MTU setting of the router to manual and specify the value as 1300. Also the PPPoE connection on the computer should be disabled when router is dialing.

Vista Ultimate: Local Network Access Only (Wired and Wireless)

Alright, I am not very experienced working with Windows Vista, and I'm having serious trouble solving this problem. I've been searching for solutions for two days and not found anything that works.
The computer is a Compaq Presario A900 running Windows Vista Ultimate (Service Pack 2). My brother used the computer's wireless internet connection for four years without problems, but lost all internet access when he returned home a couple months ago. The
computer will connect to any network, but has the message "Unidentified Network - Access: Local Only".
The computer first had the problem trying to connect to the Internet through an iPhone's Wifi connection. It happened again on the wireless network at my home. I took the computer to work to test it with a wired connection and had the same result.
I originally thought this was only a wireless problem and completely uninstalled and reinstalled the Atheros wireless card drivers.
I have completely disabled the Windows Firewall and removed all Anti-Virus (Avira free was installed - Norton is not on the computer). I have tried Safe Mode with Networking, and it does not fix the problem.
I ran a Fix-It yesterday that was supposed to fix specific registry errors, but that did not solve the problem either.
I also found a solution on this website that involved enabling sharing. One user said it fixed the problem, but it did not solve it for me.
The only thing I am certain of is that this cannot be a problem with the router. All three places I have connected have various other computers connected constantly: The iPhone regularly connects a different Windows Vista-powered laptop, Windows XP Desktop,
and Windows 7 netbook to the Internet. My wireless router successully connects a Windows XP Desktop, Windows 7 laptop, and Macbook. Obviously, the wired connection at work successfully connects over a dozen computers.
I'm out of ideas on this one...thanks.

Hi,
I've been having a similar problem; am not able to connect via wifi at our new home, but am able to connect easily at an internet cafe. Obviously, I'd like the convenience of getting connected at home! :) Getting "unidentified networK"
and local only access. Also had the same problem with the yellow ethernet cable & LAN, but finally found a partial fix online somehow so am at home using the internet now. But it is still a PITA, because every time I step away to take
a break from the computer, it goes to "sleep" and loses the connection, so I have to do a restart to get the internet connection back. And it would be much nicer to get the Wifi problem fixed, so I can move around the house to a more comfy spot rather
than being shackled in the corner by the yellow cable! :D
I will attach a screenshot of the ipconfig as suggested above, but am not all that savvy, so would appreciate step-by-step instruction how to solve this problem. I've tried a lot of suggestions, but nothing has worked yet... hoping someone here can help. Thanks
in advance! :)
oops! edit to add: grrrr, it wouldn't let me include the screenshot unless I verify my account, which I have not figured out how to do yet... another hurdle!

Wired comp losing connection every ten or 15 seconds

my wired connection drops every 15 to 20 seconds wireless on other comp works fine help me please thanks.I have a hp comp desktop nd a dell the hp keeps dropping it is the one wired to a netgear modem/router cg3000dv229. if that helps

I'll see if I can help you resolve your wired LAN issue.
What model is the PC?
Without knowing the model we can check some basics first:
Have you updated the PC to Win8.1?
If so, have you checked for an updated Network driver?
You can check for updated drivers at hp.com on your product support page
OR
Manually run Windows Update and see if there are any Recommended/Optional updates - that is where you will find HW driver updates for your PC.
It looks like you have a DOCSIS 3.0 Gateway so there aren't any Firmware updates (updates are normally pushed from your ISP).
