WRT54g v7 and WRE54G v1 cannot connect

Hi.
I have a WRT54g v7 (firmware 7.0.0.4) and WRE54G v1 (firmware 1.0.5.17).
The range expander won't connect to the router even with standard settings and no security. The lights on the range expander are blue, but no connection to the router.
Is this a firmware problem? The range expander did work with an older version of WRT54g.
Regards,
Hemmingsen

Hi,
Of course I had cloned my MAC address before trying.
However it turned out that v7 does not support CHAP, so there was no way for me to connect.
Earlier linux versions do have CHAP, so I went to the store and replaced mine with a GL.
Shame on Linksys for "downgrading" the features from v4 to v7, and also for claiming that v7 supports PPPoE. No self-respected ISP would use PPPoE without some form on password encryption (most often CHAP or MSCHAPv2, as it is in my case, at least here in Bulgaria).
If GL goes out of the stores (looks like will happen and Linksys does not upgrade the functionalities, I'd advide to buy something else, if your ISP uses PPPoE.

  • I have read all of the similar issues on this site and I still cannot connect my airport extreme (although there is no problem with my old airport express - help...

    i have read all of the numerous and similar issues on this subject.  and i still cannot connect my new airport extreme.  my old airport express works fine still.  help.  and why are there so many issues with connecting this stuff?  i thought this stuff was supposed to be getting easier, not harder... thanks.

    Sorry, but I have no idea on what you have read and tried so far so please forgive me for any redundancy.
    Is your AirPort Extreme the only router in your current network configuration? Which exact model is it? If there are other routers being used, please provide their make(s) & model(s). Also the make & model of your Internet modem.
    What is your goal with the Extreme? Is it to replace the "old" AirPort Express? Will you still be using the Express for any reason(s)?

    Are you running any of Symantec's (Norton) or McAfee's Internet security products or anything similar, or an antivirus/antispyware application? There have been reports that some such utilities treat an upgrade to iTunes as a new application and can block the application from connecting. So you have to go in and reset the utility to allow iTunes. The same thing can happen if you upgrade the security product (this has particularly been a problem with recent McAfee upgrades).
    Check the settings for your utility. If iTunes is still listed, remove and re-enable the exception for iTunes. Consult your utility's documentation for the appropriate procedure; you can find instructions for Norton on Symantec's web page for iTunes. You may also need to check the built-in Windows firewall as well.
    Hope this helps.

  • I updated to mountain lion and now mail cannot connect to my server

    I updated to mountain lion and now mail cannot connect to my server.  It says check your user name and password are correct.  Well they are, and were.  Nothing has changed except the mac OS. 
    Has anyone else suffered this and knows a way around it?  Too annoying to log into my mail every 15mins via a web page anymore.
    Efforts tried to resolve this so far:
    retyped user name and password, removed account and created a new account, restarted computer, software update, searched forums.  so far all have proved unsuccessful.
    I have also written to my mail provider and am waiting for feed back from them, but if anyone has any advice it would be gratefully received.
    Many thanks,
    Mike

    Many users upgrading to Mountain Lion have run into this problem, myself included.  You likely have corrupted settings for your  "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)" for each of the failed Accounts.  Open Mail>go to Mail's Preferences>Accounts>select an Account in the left column to work on>then set up your Outgoing Mail Server which will INCLUDE resetting up your Password, as its asking you to.  Click on "SMTP Outgoing Mail Server" near the bottom of the Accounts window while your mail account is highlighted in the left hand column.  When you click on SMTP... you will see a drop down box icon offered at the right side of the line.  Click it and then select at the bottom of the the list "Edit SMTP Mail Server".  Fill in the required settings for your ISP mail account using their recommended settings.

    my ipod is in recovery mode and my itunes cannot connect to the server what do i do?

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

    I can connect to the itunes store through the itunes store app, but when I try to make a purchase within Clash of Clans a box comes up saying my purchase cannot be completed, and another saying cannot connect to itunes store. HELP!
    I've turned my iPad off, then on again, I've logged out of iTunes, and logged back in, I've updated my credit card information, but nothing seems to be working. Is this a problem within the app?

    25 apps on my wife's phone need updating and now it "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" only when i try to update them for her.  I can access the iTunes store for all other options but not to update.  How can I get her updated?

    Try quitting the App Store:
    Tap the home button to get to the home screen. Then double tap the home button, and hold your finger over the App Store icon. Tap the red when it appears. Tap the home button again to return to the home screen.
    Try resetting:
    Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

  • Iphone 4s, ipad, and iPod touch cannot connect to google

    I have had problems with my iphone 4s since ios6 update.  But today, I cannot connect to internet with my iphone, ipad or daughters ipod touch.  The imac works fine.  Is there a google problem today?
    I type something in the search bar and it spins and spins and then says cannot connect to server.  Apps that connect or stream work fine.
    Frustrated

    Problem Solved! WPA/WPA2 password is cAsE-SeNsItIve.
    This is a little insidious problem.
    I replaced my D-Link with my Time Capsule.
    In order to ensure compatibility, I kept my same 26-character hex password. For example: 1234567890ABC1234567890ABC
    So, when I setup my Time Capsule, I pasted it in exactly as shown.
    Well, on the iPod Touch when you enter the password, it displays the key entries in CAPS(!) even if it is not in CAPS mode. Additionally, it's a password. So the iPod touch masks the characters you enter. So, in reality I was entering:
    1234567890abc1234567890abc
    To make it work, I had to press the shift key for each non-numeric character.

  • Wired PC and Wireless PC cannot connect to each other

    Hi, I recently bought a new Linksys WRT54G router and I was able to succesfully connect my wired desktop pc and my wireless laptop to the internet through the router. My only concern is that I want my laptop to share its files through my desktop pc and vice versa, however, it seems it does not work. Both pcs cannot connect to each other. Any suggestions will do. Thanks and Good Luck.

    This may be a file sharing problem about which many have asked. You have an additional problem. File sharing between wireless and wired. I have a VPN connection where the wireless can see the wired network (subnet) but the wired cannot see the wireless.
    The problem remains: why is the wireless network remaining "invisible" unpingable -- not shared?
    I know this is not a answer, just a plea for a further answer from some networking genius logging into to the forum.

  • MacBook Pro, iPad IV and iPhone 4S Cannot Connect to Server

    I have a MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion 10.8.5, and an iPad IV, both less than three months old. I also have a pair of iPhone 4s's.
    All of a sudden none of them can reliably connect to our AT&T Wireless home internet. There are particular websites we are blocked from viewing, notably any apple website, including apple.com, apple support, itunes, and App store, but also random ones like Wikipedia and others. We constantly get the "cannot connect to server" message. Yet other websites load right up with no problem.
    Many  websites are seriously snarled up, particularly Ebay, which is a critical one for me to have quick access to. Ebay screens are scrambled and out of order, act like purchases are being made when they're not, and photos don't show. All we get is little blue questionmarks.
    Multiple  PCs running on our home network work just fine, and we can get into any website with them. But ANY apple product is just stymied. We can turn off wifi on the phones, and get into websites with 3g, but as soon as the wife is turned back on, we're back to square one.
    Nothing has changed on our network recently, although we did get a new router about three months ago after having consistent outages. I have noticed our wifi getting glitchier and slower as time goes by,  but again, it affects the Apple products, until it just went totally haywire last week.
    My husband gets wifi at work just fine, and I am accessing wifi quickly and accurately on the MBP at this very moment on a museum network.
    The issue seems to be the AT&T home network, and very specifically with the full line of Apple products.
    Any clean and easy suggestions? I don't want to have to jump through hoops on four different products, and I now suspect it's something to do with AT&T?

    Pleeeeeeease. Somebody? Anybody?
         I can't get into Facebook, or Ebay on my MacBook. Life is too short to weep and lose hair over computers. Surely there's a quick fix I just haven't thought of?
