WRT54G v6 router help

I have a v6 WRT54G that was running fine for about 2-3 months. Then all of a sudden one day the power led was continuously blinking and I am not able to access the WEB UI. I can ping the router with no problems and get a reply but still cannot access the UI. I have followed the steps to update the firmware using tftp.exe and that has no effect. I have also tried the 30/30/30 reset and that has no effect either. What can I do to fix my router? I also had someone tell me to try a different power supply for it and that made no difference either.

Check the physical connection, your modem should be connected to the internet port of the linksys router, one computer should be connected to the ethernet port(1,2,3 or 4) of the linksys router...
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...
Also make sure that your computer is set to obtain IP automatically, disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer before trying to access the setup page...
See if you could open your router set-up and configure it...

New WRT54G wireless router. Who's the genius that can help me?

I just purchased a WRT54G wireless router. The main reason is my son wanted to be able to use his Sony PSP online. I also have two desktop computers that will be wired thru this router. My question's are. If he is using his PSP online and the desktops are wired, can the desktops be "hacked" if they are on/off? If the router is turned off then the wireless is not working? If I access the router and disable the SSID Broadcast then the wireless portion of the network is off? What are the safest security settings to protect my network?
Thanks.

Dead Mans Zone.... I guess.
Using the DMZ is a very simple and risky way to forward ports. The DMZ takes an ip address of a computer on your network, and forwards all ports to that computer. This is really nice if you are having problems forwarding ports for some program. It can be a life saver if your router will not allow you to properly forward ports. It also has a huge downfall. The computer that is in the DMZ is now wide open to internet traffic. Meaning that it will catch virii, and it will be at risk of being hacked. If you put a computer into the DMZ then please install a software firewall to help protect it
Orange/White. The Cisco logo is the Router’s SecureEasySetup button. It lights up and will stay orange when the Router is powered on. The color orange indicates that the Router is not using the SecureEasySetup feature, while the color white indicates that the Router is using the SecureEasySetup feature. When the Router enters SecureEasySetup mode, the Cisco logo will turn white and start flashing. After the Router has generated the SSID and WPA-PSK (also called WPA-Personal) key, the Cisco logo will stop flashing and stay white.

WRT54G Wireless Router Problem. Need Help!

I'll start with the basics of my situation and if more details are needed, I will provide to the best of my ability.
I have a comcast cable internet connection. I have 6 computers in my house. Two of them are downstairs (which is where our modem is.) The other four computers are upstairs. All of these computers are Desktop computers with the exception of one laptop.
My laptop (which is Windows XP) can pick up a random wireless signal from the room it is in. I also found out a way to share the internet connection on the computer by going into the properties of my network connection and enabling internet sharing on it. This means if I connect a network cable from my laptop to another computer, I can leech the connection from my laptop and have internet access on the other computer. I also had a switch that I used to connect the other 3 computers upstairs by means of the laptop. The problem was, the laptop was using someone else's wireless connection in the area, and it wasn't strong enough to keep up a constant connection.
I decided, if I can leech someone else's wireless connection, why not have my own. So i recently bought WRT54G Wireless Router and set it up on one of the computers downstairs (because that's where the modem is). It works fine as far as connecting my laptop to the internet from upstairs. My laptop can access the internet through the connection I set up in the LELA program.
Here is the part I am confused about. Everything is plugged in correctly as far as the router is concerned because the laptop can access the internet. But when I connect an ethernet cable directly to one of my other computers (which are Windows Vista, but I didn' t have a problem with it previously when I was leeching someone else's connection), the connection drops on my laptop, and the other computer still can't access the internet. A notice pops up that says its trying to identify the network, but it gives an error that says there is something wrong with the DNS. As soon as I disconnect the ethernet cable connecting my laptop to one of the other computers, the connection is fine again on the laptop. It's only when I connect the computers together that the connection drops.
I just don't understand why it wouldn't work when I created my own network if it worked with another network with no problem. My whole point in getting a wireless router was to have a router within good range to keep up a constant connection on my other computers that aren't in range of the modem downstairs. I just don't know where else to look. I'm not sure if it can be fixed on LELA, manually through my wireless settings, or if it could be a problem with one of my computers' settings. I've tried many different things and I'm not sure what else to do so any help is most definately appreciated. I feel like I've tried everything. I know it's possible because I've one it before, I just need the help because I'm not much of a networking person and I don't know what I should start with to make this work.
Thank you to anyone who can help or even point me in the right direction.

Internet Connection no longer working with WRT54G V3 Router

I have had a WRT54G V3 router working successfully for a number of years now with a couple wireless PCs through a cable modem with Comcast as my ISP. All of a sudden yesterday, neither PC could access the internet. No changes had been made to the router.
I contacted Comcast and they of course had me hard-wire one of my PCs into the cable modem. That worked and I was able to access the internet. However, when I tried to put the router back in place (in either a wired or wireless fashion), I could not access the internet.
I've tried following the online Linksys troubleshooting documention. The lights that should be lit on the router are lit. I can access the router setup web page which shows the settings still intact. I've tried going through the power sequencing to no avail. Comcast says my router is the culprit of my problem, but I don't know why it would all of a sudden stop working. My wireless printer still works so it detects a signal and my PC shows it's connected, but no internet access is possible.
What do I need to do? Are there any other diagnostic tools available? The Chat people won't help because I'm out-of-warranty.

Does the Xbox 360 wireless adapter even work with the WRT54G wireless router?!!? If so, how???

I just bought a WRT54G wireless router (Ver 8.0; firmware updated to latest). I have successfully connected my wireless laptop using WEP security, but I'm at wits end trying to get the Xbox 360 wireless adapter to work. (It worked just fine with my Netgear router until that router recently died.)
When I do the "Test Media Connection" routine (you XBox 360 users know what I'm referring to), the Xbox immediately recognizes the Network Adapter and indicates that it is connected to the Wireless Network, but it inevitably fails the next step in the process: IP Address. I have the set-up for the IP address to be assigned automatically by the router (which is set for DHCP Server enabled).
I have gone around the mountain innumerable times myself and then with well-meaning friends who say try this, try that, try this, try that. I've had to re-establish my laptop set-up so many times I wanna scream!
Are the Xbox 360 wireless adapter and the WRT54G even compatible? If so, what am I missing here? I'm not too technical and obviously in over my head, but this ought not be that hard.
Please, please do NOT respond unless you KNOW the answer! I don't mean to be curt, but I'm over / past "suggestions to try."
Thank you VERY much for your time and consideration if you can help me.

I don't think that the X-BOX adapter is not compatible to wireless rotuer .... there are few settings you can try on the router ... Access router setup page ... Please click on the tab "Application and gaming" and click on sub tab "Port range forwarding" 1) On the first line in Application box type in "Xbox", in start box type in 88, in end box type in 88, in protocol keep it both, in ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and give a check mark on enable box. 2) On the second line in Application box type in "Xbox", in start box type in 3074, in end box type in 3074, in protocol keep it both, in ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and give a check mark on enable box. 3) Now save the settings 4) Once you return to the setup page, click on the tab "Administration" and disable the UPNP and save the settings. 5) Now assign the given ip address on your xbox ip address :- 192.168.1.20 subnet mask :- 255.255.255.0 default gateway :- 192.168.1.1 Please assign the dns address on the xbox primary dns :- 4.2.2.2 secondary dns :- 192.168.1.1 6) Please try to test your xbox live. Hope it works ...

I installed the WRT54G Wireless router on my desktop and have been using the internet on that pc and my laptop (wirelessly) for a few months. Last week I uninstalled Norton Internet Security and installed ESET Smart Security. Now my desktop cannot get to the internet and the advisor says it does not detect a router. But my laptop says it's connected to my network and I am able to use the intenet on it. The router itself has all of the correct connecions and the appropiate lights are lit. Could the ESET Smart Security Software have messed up my router firmware. Please advise.

there seems to be consistant issues with Linksys routers according to all the posts ive been reading for the past month while i try to fix my on and off again internet connection. its becomming very annoying. i have asked my cable company to replace my modem, which they did and that didn't even help. last year i bought a new linksys router thinking it would solve my problem back then. it did for a while, then my lap top wouldn't connect any, so i sent it into have it checked and it came back with no problems. soooooooooo apparently, while i am connected to my neighbors open connection from his BELKIN ROUTER and even though the signal is very weak............amazingly enough!! i am still online while typing this.......funny eh?? WELL........it seems to me......that i guess i wont be buying linksys anything anymore. Especially after spending hours on the help line (INDIA) trying to reset channels and reset the router box itself. i give up.......i have 2 pieces of crap routers for sale cheap......any takers? dont waste your time

WRT54G Wireless router works on desktop, but not laptop

I have a WRT54G wireless router with version 1.00.4
It works on my desktop, I can log into the net no prob
My laptop however (dell w/ windows xp) does not even recognize it.
Wierd thing is, it worked perfectly with no problems today, I have been going online with my laptop using the wireles router for weeks now..
I haven'tupgraded the firmware, or do anything to any of the computers whatsoever.
When it stopped working, I reset my router/modem, I transfered over my MAC, etc.. but the laptop still does not even recognize my router signal when I try to search for it on my laptop.. It will recognize a handful of other wireless routers from the neighborhood, but not mine.
My desktop is windows xp, and so is my router.
Any helpwould be greatly appreciated.

Dial up connection sharing via WRT54G wireless router

Can someone help me out? Here's my issue
I have an XP based desktop computer that connects to the internet via a dial up 56K modem. I would like to share the connection with my new XP vista laptop using the wireless adapter on the laptop. I have a Linsys WRT54G wireless router. The desktop pc with the connection I want to share is connected to the router via ehternet cable. How do I go about configuring the laptop wireless & the router to allow for this. I assigned a static ip 192.168.1.253 to my desktop from the router (192.168.1.100). When I enable ICS it changes the ethernet to 192.168.0.1.

Your connection download speed should be about the same 8-9Mbits, whether you are wired directly to your modem, or wired through your router .
You said you reset the router to factory defaults and that it was working better. Did the download connection speed through the router go to 8-9Mbits/sec ? If it is still 5-6 Mbits, then this suggests that something in your modem-router system is not setup quite right. If you still have this slow speed problem, then please post the following info:
1) Your ISP (internet service provider)
2) Your modem model number and version.
3) Open your router's setup pages, and go to the Setup tab. List all your settings in the "Basic Setup - Internet Setup" section.
4) List the operating system (Windows XP, Win 98SE, etc.) on the wired computer that you are using for the test.
After you list this info, hopefully someone in this community will be able to guide you to optimizing your settings, given your ISP and equipment.

WRT54GS Wireless Router Connection Drop!!!

Hey everyone, heres my rant. I have called technical support about a dozen or more times this past month for the connection drops from my WRT54GS Wireless Router. I only use 4 devices to go online;A computer running windows xp, my Xbox 360, my PS2 and my PSP. I always have problems with ALL the devices, of which only 2 are connected wireless, the Xbox 360 and the PSP. I have updated the firmware already but the problems persists, anyone have any suggestions? Because I am ready to throw this thing out the window! LOL Any help would really be appreciated because the tech supports can't help. BTW this is my 1st replacement, reason for this is I had the same problem with my original router. Also the connection is fine when I connect directly from the cable modem to my computer or Xbox 360. What do I do??

hi....try a few things here......first off , change the MTU on the router to 1365 as it is the recommended value for the Xbox 360.....
another thing that i would like to know is if u have forwarded the ports required for the xbox , the PSP and the PS2 ? ...
in case u have not , here are the ports that u will have to open on the router under the Port forwarding section..
The PSP and the PS2 use the same ports :-
TCP:- 10070-10080
UDP :- 6000-6999
The Xbox uses :-
TCP :- 3074 & 88 ...
let me know if u need any more information
