WRT54G v6 - Cant connect to some websites

I cant connect to some websites using the WRT54G v6 router, at first I thought it was an MTU issue but ive tried 1400-1492 to no avail. I also tried everything on the Linksys website for the issue at called "Encountering Difficulties Accessing Some Websites when Connected to a Linksys Router"
Another strange thing is that while one site may not work for awhile eventually I can get to it but then I cant get to another one. At first it was google and slashdot, then it was gametab, now its gamespy. Everything was fine on my old router fyi. Im using the latest Linksys firmware v1.01.1. and im connecting to the router by ethernet cable, not wirelessly.
Ideas? Suggestions?

Open "Network Connections" and then right click and select "Repair". Run the network setup Wizard in XP again, shut down all pc's and do a power cycle.
Hope this helps

  • Can't connect to some websites but internet is working

    My internet is working but I can't connect to some websites ( various university) when I disconnect the time capsule and connect directly from the modem then it works. Internet provider said it was a problem with my time capsule...
    I restored to factory settings and unplugged/ plugged 100 times. Even created new network.
    Don't know what else to do...
    Anyone out there with a similar experience??
    Thanks!

    Hi, barcenas. Welcome to the forums!
    Check your TC's DNS settings. Try using 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. Does this allow you to connect to the websites?

  • Issues connecting to some websites

    I have been unable to get on certain frequent websites that I use since yesterday.  Facebook is one as well as Sovereign Bank.  I have tried connecting to random other websites sometimes with success and other times without.  When I enter the address, all I get is a blank page and the page does not load.  I have run a virus scan and restarted my computer.  I do have internet access with a strong signal.  Any ideas?  I have a Dell laptop with Windows Vista.

    Amazon seems to work again...FYI.

  • My browser's are 'unable to connect' to some websites after upgrading to mavericks.

    the message i get is:
    Unable to connect
    Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.adobe.com.
        The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
        If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
        If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
    this is happening on reliable sites such as www.adobe.com, however, there are other sites that also won't load such as (http://www.adobe.com/products/reader.html), and though it seems specific to adobe. i had a friend try going to the adobe site on a different machine running osx 10.6 and they could load the page fine. i tried firefox and safari and neither will load the page.
    i'm running:
    os x 10.9.2
    processor- 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    memory- 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

    You, or someone using your computer, may have hacked the system to redirect queries to certain servers. The file modified is /etc/hosts.
    The easiest way to fix the hosts file is to restore it from a backup that predates the modification, or to copy the unmodified file from another Mac. If you can't do that, then do as below.
    Back up all data.
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    open -e /etc/hosts
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. A TextEdit window should open. At the top of the window, you should see this:
    # Host Database
    # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
    # when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
    127.0.0.1                              localhost
    255.255.255.255          broadcasthost
    ::1                                        localhost
    fe80::1%lo0                    localhost
    Below that, you'll see some other lines. There should be nothing above the first line "##". If you have any doubt about that, STOP and ask for guidance. Make sure you scroll all the way to the bottom. Scroll bars are hidden by default until you actually start scrolling, so you may not realize that you’re not seeing the whole document.
    If the contents of the TextEdit window are as described, close it, then enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (by copy and paste):
    sudo sed -i~ '11,$d' /etc/hosts
    This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. Quit Terminal.
    If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.
    That will fix the hosts file. There is now a copy of the old hosts file with the name "hosts~" in the same folder as "hosts". You can delete the copy if you wish. Don't delete the file named "hosts".

  • Cannot connect to some websites from Verizon (but ATT gets there just fine...)

    So, for the past 24 hours I have repeatedly  tried to access a blog (ginandtacos.com) via my Verizon connection; Verizon returns an error message that they are unable to find the site.   They offer some alternatives from a Yahoo search that includes... the site I want.  I click their link, they report they can't find the site, and offer some alternatives from a Yahoo search... (rinse and repeat).
    Switching to my ATT-provisioned phone, I can easily access the site, so it is not down.  
    Any ideas?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Answering my own question...
    Not a Verizon issue.  The site owner asserts on Facebook that Network Solutions is holding the domain name hostage (and trying to blame ICANN).  Apparently the whole thing will be fixed just as soon as some additional marketing services are purchased, or so he says.
    ATT shows the same failed DNS resolution now.  sigh.

  • Cant connect to certain websites with WRK54G router

    Hello all, I have a WRK54G router with SBC as my ISP. I am running Windows XP and I can not connect to disneyshopping.com, nor enterprise.com with the router plugged. If I unplug the router and connect the computer directly to the SBC router I have no problems. I use both IE7 and Firefox, with all java and flash updates inplace. If there is something in the settings of the Linksys router I need to change, can somebody please help. Thank you all in advance for your help!

    Looks like your DNS servers are no working, check this on how to assign DNS servers and other network info on your computer. If you get the IP and other network info from router, then go to router management page, assign following DNS servers on its DHCP part.
    Use these 2 free DNS servers from OpenDNS and try again..Should work..

  • Some websites no longer reachable. Even the Apple site!

    Ik bought the TM to get a wireless connection and to have a backup unit.
    Now I can no longer get connected to some websites. No Amazon,Youtube and even Apple! among others.
    The message I get tells me that the server can not be found. If I use the network of my neighbour everything works fine! What to do?
    Another problem I find is that I can only connect with the internet by Wifi. My cable does not work any longer. Anyone?
    Thank you for your input.

    It sounds like you restored from an old back-up.  Did you back-up just before your software update?  It will use your last one and if your last back-up was a ywear old then it will use that one.
    In general, if you are getting these messages on your iPhones select logout (when you get that Apple Id request) and then log back in with your newer ID.
    Sorry for your losses.
    Cheers

  • Able to join wifi network, but cant connect to web or itunes

    Picked up 16 GB iPod Touch today at Best Buy. Able to sync music ok. No problems with sound quality using good earphones.
    Touch is good but takes a fair amount of pressure. Guess I will get adapted
    Able to join my home wifi network, but cant connect to an website or ITunes wifi- says it can't find the server. I entered my WEP key and pressed join. I have a wifi icon with 3 bars. Did I miss a step?
    Am converting a few tv shoes so I can test video

    Did you try putting it to sleep/turning it back on. It originally did that for me, I put in my key for my network (which is hard, as its many many digits and letters) and it said it couldn't find the server. I turned it off, and back on, started up the iTunes store, and it connected automatically and worked.

  • Phone wont connect to some wifi connections

    I am in college and figured I'd be using quite a bit of the free wifi around my campus. So far, the only wifi network my phone will connect to is one that requires to download a bunch of spyware crap, and didn't let me connect to the free one (kept saying, "Unable to join 'so and so' network." I figured it was nothing, but then i noticed a buddy of mine at school was on the network that I couldnt connect to. Is there a reason my phone cant connect to some wifi networks and others can? Its starting to get annoying, because I do NOT have the unlimited data plan.

    Hello JSto19
    Just curious but how come you do not have an Unlimited Data plan?
    AT&T offers a $20 unlimited data on iPhone First Gen & $30 unlimited data on iPhone 3Gs
    The only items that are not unlimited are Voice & SMS unless you are paying for that as well.

  • I can't connect to the itunes store and have some problems with other websites. Some websites load OK. I had the same problem on my iPad and changed the DNS, but don't want to do this on my iMac, anyway, surely I should have my router's DNS?

    I can't connect to the iTunes store from my iMac and have problems loading a number of other websites, however some websites load perfectly well. I have had the iTunes store issue on my iPad and resolved it by changing the DNS but surely I should use the DNS for my router. I don't really want to change it for the iMac as I access secure sites with it to internet shop.
    Any ideas, I was going to try loading Chrome but can't get it without going through the iTunes store. Anyway, that is treating the symprom not the cause.

    Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security, (including anti-phishing and redirects) (Full information about Open DNS is here: http://www.opendns.com/home/nobloat ) and further independent information can be read here:
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57338784-263/free-dnscrypt-tool-enhances-ma c-web-security/?tag=mncol;txt
    and here:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/1146064/troubleshootdns.html?t=234
    Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    (You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
    Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:

  • Cant connect to the internet using my wrt54g

    i bought the linksys wrt54g yesterday brought it home put in the setup disk and everythin was goin good until it came to step 10 and an error message came up saying: cant connect to the internet please shut off modem and turn it back on so tryed that still didnt work. so i found a thread when i searched this problem that said i had to bridge my westell 6100 modem to the router or somthin like that so i followed those steps and it still doesnt work can som1 help me please!?

    Did you try to change the routers Ip address to 192.168.2.1?
    I am not sure of that modem and not sure if it has a built in router ot not.  Call your ISP and see if that modem is also a router running DHCP and everything else.

  • Can't connect to a website WRT54G v5

    Ok All was fine and then one day I could not connect to a website.
    www.worldofwarcraft.com  to be exact.
    Every time I try to go there I get, internet explorer can not display the web page.  I have reset, unplugged and switched back to the default settings on my router.  I am using the WRT54G v5 and I have the newest firmware v1.02.0
    No matter what I can not display the page.  Every where else I go I have no problem.  I have 3 computers on this router one is wireless, two are plugged into the ports.  All have the same problem when I try to access this site
    Now if I bypass my router and just plug into my cable modem I have no problem getting to the site.  It comes right up like it should as if nothing is wrong. 
    Any ideas or tips on fixing this would be greatly appreciated

    I have the exact same problem with my WRT54GS V2 router.  All connections worked fine, then one day I could no longer connect to easo.ea.com via my PS3.  Then a month later I lost connection to www.golfsmith.com from all PCs.  I too can connect to the site and the game server via the modem, but can't connect to or ping either one through the router.  please help! I have had this issue for 3 months now.  I can connect to other game servers with the PS3 and load all other web sites via the PCs.    

  • WRT54G router set up, Wireless network found, but cant connect.

    I've had this router working for over a year but for whatever reason, it stopped working about a week ago. Powering off the router and cable modem usually works but not this time, so I attached a cable from a laptop to the router and tried to run the setupWRT54G setup CD. After step 7, it kept repeating itself in a loop... trying to reconfigure the router and asking for the password. Finally, I exited and the window message box said "Setup is not complete, continue exiting?"  So I accessed the router setup thru IE via the cable:  Http:\\192.168.1.1 and set up the network and gave it a new name, channel 7, etc. My wife can access the network from her work laptop via wireless, so its working for her. As for the other laptop and other desktop in our home, when we search for available networks, we can see out network and click "Connect", ... supply the router password that I issued in the router setup, but it says that it cant connect after a minute of trying. What have I done wrong? One laptop can access the network and two cant. Before last week, all 3 could access the wireless network. FYI - I downloaded and installed ther latest fimware from the LINKSYS website (V8.XX), but no difference. Thanks for any suggestions you can offer.

    Keep in mind that the router setup password is not the same thing as the encryption key that you use to connect wirelessly to the router.
    If it works normally from your wife's computer, I'd be looking at the settings on your computer first, rather than the router's.
    In network -> TCP/IP -> properties is it set to get an IP address automaticaly?
    If the above aren't the issue, I would do a hardware reset of the router back to factory defaults and enter your settings again from scratch. That's a recommended step after upgrading or reloading the firmware anyway, even if you weren't having this trouble

  • WRT54GS Cant connect to IE but can connect to Firefox

    I recently change from DSL to Broadband through Comcast and I cant get on IE. I can get on IE when I directly connect my cable modem to my computer but when I connect my cable modem to my WRT54GS it wont connect to IE but I can get on Firefox. I work at home so I need IE to work. By the way Im using a wired connection.

    Make sure proxy settings are disabled in IE. You don't need them with a cable Internet connection.
