WRT54G v7 Wireless DHCP

Hi,
I just bought a WRT54G, labels says V7. After days trying to configure it, I'm at a loss.
I have a LAN, with DHCP off a Linux machine (also acts as gateway to Internet and firewall). There are several machines connected to it. I wanted to use the WRT as an access point basically, just link wirelessly with a password and access the net (as well as the other computers on the LAN).
I linked the LAN (2) to the gateway (via switch), and inserted my computer into LAN (3). I figured I get dynamic IP via LAN, while wireless clients do the same (no wire). Great.
I did just that, disabled DHCP, got me a SSID, all was well. Then I wanted to secure the Wi so I did a WEP settings with a passphrase, generated, all well. Except now wireless clients never get an IP. They connect (Passphrase OK), but no DHCP response, not from the router (I tried temporary DHCP from the WRT), not from the gateway. Disable security, all is well.
LAN clients work OK, they get IP from the gateway just fine, if I disconnect the GW and enable local DHCP, I get IP from the WRT. Enable security, no DHCP. It __DOES__ work if I assign fixed IPs to wireless clients, but I like DHCP.
A dump of network traffic shows that if the encryption is enabled the blasted client connects, does a DHCP broadcast, but receives nothing. Apparently the router blocks the broadcast.
I already went through secure funa and fuzzy setup, the manuals, the setup guides, checking the password, trying different cards, etc.
I upgraded to 7.0.0.4, no difference. Didn't do a hard boot after the 7.0.0.4, I'll try that too but I guess the question(s) is:
* Is this by design? Couldn't find anything in the manual.
* Is anything like this known?
* Do you have PCs that connect over a WEP-secure wireless and get an IP from a non-WRT? (what I'm trying to do)
Hints?

gv:
"Check to see if the WEP encrypted wireless connection does in fact work or not: set a static IP address in the wireless client and let it connect to your access point. Now try to ping the router at 192.168.1.1 or other computers in the LAN to see if it is actually working. If not, it is the WEP configuration which is the problem."
I did, results are:
* static IP works as wireless and wired client, logs on via open/WEP/wpa, everything works (including pinging router, other wireless clients and LAN clients. aka- as it should.
* DHCP works via LAN or Internet ports, via wireless over open/WPA but does NOT work over wireless/WEP.
"For WEP you must select the key which is used for transfer. This selection must match on the client and on the access point. If you use the first key on the access point you must use the first key in the client as well."
Done, it logs on via wireless/wep, I get different errors for unable to connect to network and connected, but no DHCP found.
"Please verify that this is actually the case. Also: don't use the passphrase to setup the keys in the client but copy the actual keys in hex."
My Windows doesn't have such inputs (as far as I've seen). But using a bad password gives me a login error, the correct key does not. I assume it's not the key. Aslo, I assume that with a bad pass fixed IP shouldn't work.
"Are you using Windows Zero Configuration for your wireless configuration or a different software?"
None. Pure Win32 over a wireless card. Actually, I have several Windows machines with different cards, various configs, and all working with WPA and open, so compatible. If only my machine didn't work I wouldn't be asking for known bugs
I actually sniffed the traffic and DHCP discover uses broadcasts. With WEP those broadcasts get no answer, but on LAN or wireless/WPA they do and get a DHCP response. Same behavior with internal DHCP server or the LAN DHCP server.
I can't find a way to attach any files to the forum, but if you have any questions about the layout I'll be happy to host an image for you.Message Edited by Ndi on 02-02-200702:46 PM

Can I use my WRT54G as a DHCP server only? I've got 5 dynamic IP's from Time Warner..

Hi everyone, I'm wondering if I can use my WRT54G as a DHCP server only only my network, without having to have any of my PC's plugged into it's router ports? I looked at the settings but I couldn't get it to work.
Here's why: I just got Time Warner Business Class cable internet which comes with 5 dynamic IP's. I want each computer, well 4 of them at least and 1 for the WRT54G, to have a unique IP when accessing the internet, and the other computers (5 more computers) to use the DHCP server in the WRT54G to get a NAT IP for use on the internet.
We play Diablo II on the internet and only 4 computers can be connected through 1 IP, so that limits us in my current configuration.
Current Equipment: One WRT54G, one Netgear GS116 16 port gigabit non-managed switch. One Time Warner Cable modem. Also attached to the network is one HP network printer, a Buffalo LinkStation NAS and a Zensonic Network DVD player.
Current config: Cable modem --> WRT54G --> Netgear switch.
Ideal config: Cable modem --> Netgear switch --> WRT54G.
With my current config, I am not taking advantage of the 5 dynamic IP's, but all the computers connected to the Netgear switch or the WRT54G can connect to the internet and the NAS.
So my ideal config (where I don't have to buy anything and where all the computers can print and access the NAS) is to connect all the computers and devices to the Netgear Switch and somehow force 4 of the computers and the WRT54G to get a dynamic IP from the cable modem, while the other computers and devices use the DHCP server on the WRT54G to get to the internet.
Is this possible?
I called Time Warner Cable and they weren't any help. I called the Linksys sales department and they weren't of much help either.
I suppose that I could purchase a new 8 port switch and attach 4 computers, the cable modem and the WRT54G to it. Then attach the Netgear to the WRT54G to accomodate the printer, NAS, and the other 5 computers. But in that senario, the 4 computers connected to the new switch can't print and can't reach the NAS. And geez, some computers would have to go through 3 devices to reach the internet, which has got to slow them down.
I did read about the Linksys EFG120 which has a DHCP server, but at $400 and only 120 gigs, it doesn't work for me.
I called Time Warner and the cost of more dynamic IP's is prohibitive, I'm already paying $79 a month for this internet and they want another $50 a month for 7 more dynamic IP's and that wouldn't help my NAS or my printer.
The cost of a 16 port gigabit switch with DHCP is an amazing $800 or so, which is out of the question.
Sorry for being so long winded and thanks for reading this far. I'm looking forward to any replies.

That is a hell of a setup. I don't know if it would be easier and cheaper to either buy a real router like a Cisco, get fixed IP addresses and a RV042, or buy 4 network cards for the four of the five computers which need the internet access for gaming.
O.K. First your setup:
1. You wire the modem to the 6-port switch.
2. You connect the remaining 5 ports with the WAN ports of 5 WRTs with DHCP on the WAN interface.
3. You configure each WRT with unique LAN IP addresses in the same subnet, e.g. 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0, 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3, 192.168.1.4, 192.168.1.5.
4. You turn off all DHCP servers except on one, e.g. 192.168.1.1. That router will be the default router and internet connection for any client which gets dynamic LAN addresses (as fallback or guests, I would not configure the NAS or printer with DHCP addresses if you have everything else on static IP addresses). You can certainly disable all DHCP servers if you want, too.
5. Now you connect all WRTs with each other.
5a. You connect port 1 of the 1st WRT with port 1 of the 2nd.
You connect port 2 of the 2nd with port 1 of the 3rd.
Port 2 of the 3rd with port 1 of the 4th.
Port 2 of the 4th with port 1 of the 5th.
(Do not create a loop connecting port 2 of the 5th with port 2 of the 1st!!)
5b. You buy another switch and connect each port 1 of each router with this switch. This has the advantage that you don't have a long cascade between the 1st and the 5th router like in 5a.
6. You connect all devices to the LAN.
6a. If you did 5a, you will probably put each computer to the router which internet connection it uses. The NAS and printer could go anywhere.
6b. If you did 5b, you hopefully bought a 16 or 24 port switch. Then you plug simply everything into that switch. Otherwise you can certainly use the free ports of the WRTs like in 6a.
7. You configure all your devices with static IP addresses. For instance,
IP 192.168.1.11
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
For the DNS servers I would highly recommend to use the DNS servers of your ISP directly and not use the relay on 192.168.1.1.
The gateway address defines through which router the computer connects to the internet.
8. You may still have to configure port forwardings on the router to the game computer if required for the game.
An interesting alternative to this setup might be to buy 4/5 network cards for the 4/5 computers with direct internet access. Then you use the one network card to connect to your single LAN behind your single WRT. The other network card goes into the switch behind the modem and has direct internet access. You then have to tell Windows which of the network cards has the default gateway for the internet connection (to prevent routing all traffic through the LAN and the WRT to the internet). One game computer would have to be behind the WRT.

Hi guys, I recently got a WRT54G v5 wireless router, and...

Hi guys, I recently got a WRT54G v5 wireless router, and when I try to play the PC multiplayer game Call of Duty 4, it kicks me for having 'No Packet Flow' and "Loss of Key Packets". I didn't get these with my other router so I know that the WRT54G is the problem. It says that you only get these problems if your router drops OOB packets which COD4 uses frequently. How do I stop the router from dropping OOB packets?

Well try reducing the MTU to 1200. And also upgrade the firmware.
To upgrade the firmware :
Connect the computer to the router.
Open the setup page (Intrnet Explorer : 192.168.1.1).
Username :
Password : admin
Go to Administration Tab. Go to firmware upgrade.
Browse and select the bin or img file thats extratcted from the download.
Start to upgrade.
Reset the router and then reconfigure it. Should work.
To check the latest firmware for ur router, click here.
Should help.

Change default wireless dhcp

I want to deploy an Airport in an existing network address space of 10.90.8.0. The default wireless dhcp address space is 10.0.1..0. Can I change that default or must I reassign all ip address to conform with the Airport default?

If you configure the AirPort Express in Bridge Mode, it will pick up an IP address from your "main" router.
If you have the AirPort Express configured to provide DHCP services and hand out IP addresses, then those addresses will be limited to the 10.0.x.x range. The Express can also provide addresses in the 192.168.x.x range and 172.16.x.x range as well.

Lost Connection to C&C Generals Zero Hour Online using the WRT54G v5 Wireless Network

I have this problem playing Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour online. I'm using the WRT54G v5 Wireless Network & when I'm in the game lobby, it kicks me off saying, "Lost connection to C&C Generals Zero Hour Online". This happens quite often variing on me entering & exiting rooms or other players entering & exiting rooms that I'm in. But it doesn't occur when I'm accually play a game with someone. It also does not happen at all when I'm connected directly to the internet connection so I know the network is causing it.
I've never had any problem with this game on any other wireless network types before. I've tried port forwarding with a static IP address, disabling firewalls, upgrading firmware, etc... No good. I've done some google research & found that varios other people on other forum sites have the same problem, it also occurs on another computer of mine.
Is there some kind of feature on this network that isn't on any others? One wireless network specificly that I've found that the game works on is the WRT54GS.
Any replies will be greatly appriecitated.
Message Edited by Me Myself AndPi on 02-20-2008 03:13 PM

Maybe I would if I hadn't stopped playing the game 3.5 years ago. You may want to check the date on those previous message. But here's what I remember:
Turns out nothing worked the fix the problem. Not turning of a firewall, not port forwarding, not updating fireware, nothing. There must be a jitter on the routher that triggers the game into thinking it gets disconnected.
Many other users on the forums posted the same problem with this one router too & no one ever figured out a solution. Eventually that router broke & my family bought the WRT54GS2, which worked perfectly.

Hooking up 2 wrt54g v8 wireless routers

Hello folks. Here is my problem. My brother in law needs a wireless network upstairs and downstairs. So I went out and bought him 2 wrt54g v8 routers and connected one upstairs and tried to connect other one donstairs. No dice. He has a mac pc plugged into router upstairs and I have a cable running to the other router downstairs but I cant get the one downstairs to work at all. What can I do to make this work or what else can I do to extend wireless from upstairs to downstairs and could the mac be causing problems.
Thanks For Help
Bill

Hi.
Both of your Linksys routers have the same IP address (It is 192.168.1.1), when you connect both of them, ofcourse, they will have a conflict. First, you need to change the second router's IP address to =
192.168.1.2 : if you wanted to have file and printer sharing on the computers under Router 1 with Router 2. Do not forget to disable the DHCP server on the 2nd router since all computers will be getting the IP address from the 1st computer. The first router will be connected to Port 1,2,3 or 4 on the 2nd router.
192.168.2.1 : if you wanted to create 2 networks. The first router will be connected only to the Internet Port of the 2nd router.

WRT54GS and Wireless cameras

I'm a network idiot so please bear with me. Our office has a Cicso uBR400 router provided by RoadRunner with 5 static addresses. RR has locked down the configuration of this router, can't access it or view the settings at all. From that we have a WRT54GS wireless router utilizing one of the static addresses. All other static addresses are assigned to employee desktops. We want to install Linksys wireless cameras since we've been having vandalism problems. The cameras install ok and if I highjack a static ip, can be viewed from anywhere. However, if I let the WRT assign an address through DHCP the assigned address is outside the subnet of the other machines in the office and cannot be viewed. Ideally, we'd like to be able to VPN into one of the static machines and attach to the cameras to look around if an alarm is raised. So...I have tried various ways of setting up port forwarding, DMZ, DHCP settings, just about everything I can think of or find in these forums. How do I get the dynamic addresses assigned by the DHCP on the WRT to be seen from the static IP desktops? Thanks.

You can try these settings :
Provide different ports to different cameras in your network for ex: if one is working on 1024 ,then assign another port 1025 and so on.
So that the DHCP of router will provide different Ip address to all devices & you can login to camera using static WAN public Ip.
You have to login using address http://wanpubliciport no.
From other desktop you can use the same format of address to view camera from outside the network.

WRT54G firmware Mac DHCP conflict

I updated my WRT54G version 6 to firmware version 1.01.0 and (after 2 days when things worked fine) lost the ability for any of my 3 Mac computers (intel iMac and pismo powerbook) to get an IP address either by wired connection or wireless connection to the router. My Windows laptop connected just fine by wired and wireless connections. The Macs could see the router if manually set to IP 192.168.1.50, but did not get an IP address if set to DHCP. No amount of resetting router, modem and computers helped. I reflashed 1.01.0 using the PC but that did not help. I flashed back to firmware 1.00.9 and immediately got back wired and wireless connections with all of the Macs. There are at least three other reports of people solving exactly the same problem posted in the Apple discussion boards with other Mac models.

WRT54G - Cannot get DHCP to resolve

Hello, I have a WRT54G v 5.0 that I had got 2 years ago. It has worked wonderfully in what it had to do, but now it's cutting out on me for no apparent reason. I have a relatively simple setup Optimum Online -> WRT54G -> 2 computers [wired] and a wireless access point [for a laptop] so traffic really isn't an issue. In the 'Status' section of my router's webpage, I try to DHCP release/renew to no avail, I get returned a 0.0.0.0 address. However, when I directly plug my computer into the cable modem, I am given a signal and I can post this thread. I have upgraded the firmware, reset the router manually, unplugged it for about 15 minutes (think it clears the cache?) then replugged it in and also have reset to factory defaults to no avail. So, to sum things up, I do get an internet signal, but for some reason the router doesn't want to distribute the signal. I fear that it's being a hog and using the internet for its own benefits (sarcasm! )

No. You are the hog. Your computer which works directly on the cable modem hogs the connection. Try the other computer directly on the modem and most likely it won't work either.
You cable ISP locks the connection to the MAC address of the computer.
Depending on the ISP and the cable modem there are different ways to clear it:
* call the ISP while not connected or ask them how to do it.
* reset the modem.
* unplug the modem from power. (of course restarting it with the router connected)
* turn off the modem for the night.
If nothing works, you can also try the MAC address clone function in the router. Wire the modem to the internet port of the router. Wire the computer which is able to connect to the internet through the modem to a numbered LAN port. Now open http://192.168.1.1/ The MAC address clone should be a subtab on the main Setup tab. Clone the MAC address of the computer. It should be easy simply by pressing the button to clone "this" computers mac address. Don't forget to click on save settings afterwards. Then check the status page. The status page now should show you the MAC address of the computer. It should also connect now.

HELP !!!!! WRT54G Set To DHCP....not can't find

Ugh,
I inadvertantly set my WRT54G to DHCP from it's statis IP. Now the 192.168.1.245 does not get me back in. I have this hooked up thru WG switch to PC...how do I reset or find out what the IP address it is using and log back in to adminstrator ?

I think you are using WAP54G, wireless access point. Just reset it for 1 minute, and it will again be set as static IP, with default settings.

Not sure if you performed this or not, once you do a factory reset, immediately after that you are suppose to perform a factory reset by holding is the reset button in on the back of the linksys router for 30 seconds, then wait about 2-3 minutes for the router to sync back up.
Important = Write down your previous settings in the router as they will be erased and you will have to manually input the info.
Hope that this will help,
Ttech
If not, try this
Here are some steps to follow for a slow or poor connection.
1.      Give your network a unique SSID and do not use Linksys and set your SSID Broadcast to enable.
2.      You can also try A different channel. There are 11 channels and 1, 6 or 11 is better
3.      You can try raising your router approximately 4-6 feet above the floor and make sure the antennas are vertical.
4.      access your wireless software by going to your Profile or preferred networks, if any are named Linksys or ones that you do not know please delete them. Go to the settings or properties and check the information to make sure it is correct.
5.      See if there are any updated drivers to download.
6.      Try to use WPA encryption if you can
*** As always upgrade to the latest firmware
Good luck,

WRT54G cannot save DHCP settings

Hi,
My WRT54G will not save changes to the number of DHCP users. I have a static IP address from my ISP and have all of the info entered correctly and can connect wirelessly to the internet from my laptop but not from my wired desktop. I'm guessing it has something to do with the DHCP settings.
On the router setup page it has the starting IP address as 192.168.1.1 (which is the IP address of the router and shouldn't be the pool's starting address) and the max number of users as 2. If I change the starting IP address to 192.168.1.2 it automatically sets the max number of users to 1. If I try to enter in any other values than those above for the starting IP address, it does not save the changes even though I get that page that says 'settings have been changed successfully' and the 'continue' button.
I am running Vista on the laptop, XP Home on the desktop and have an SDSL modem from my ISP. I just switched from a Belkin router to the Linksys & both pc's could connect before with the Belkin except it kept dropping the wireless connection on the laptop -- hence the reason for the switch to the Linksys.
I hope this makes sense to someone out there who can offer some assistance. I certainly do appreciate any help offered.

You need to reset the router to factory defaults, then setup your router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
5) Power down the router.
6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
Please let me know how things turn out for you.

Can't connect to Exchange2003 Server through WRT54GS (via wireless)

I'm having problems conencting to my MS Exchange 2003 server, from an Outlook 2003 Client, when using wireless on a WRT54GS.
Hard wired - works fine.
Wireless - connection times out ("unable to connect to exchange server")
I can browse the internet through the wireless conenction, download (legal) music, etc. Cannot use Outlook/Exchange.
I disabled the "firewall" features on the router. (block external requests, etc)
WEP is enabled.
The Router was bought about 6 months ago (original firmware)
any suggestions? anyone successfully using Exchange across a wireless conenction?

first i'd suggest that you upgrade to the latest firmware....also open ports 443-447 under the port forwarding section of the router.

WRT54G v7 WAN DHCP client problem

I've recently started having a strange problem with my WRT54G. Internet access is via a Cable modem and has been working fine for months, and the cable modem works fine so I suspect the problem is with the router. However the router is also working, mostly, so I figured I'd see if anyone here has any suggestions. Here are the details of the problem:
The router WAN configuration was set to DHCP.
It used to happily pick up a new IP address from the cable modem whenever necessary.
One night the router stopped picking up an IP on the WAN side. (nothing was changed. I'm the only one in the house who goes anywhere near the router)
Connecting the modem directly to a PC works fine (suggesting the modem's DHCP server is fine).
Copying the WAN IP config from the PC to the router, as a Static IP, also allows it to work when the modem is plugged back into the router and the router to a PC (which is how it's setup now, but it's a pain to have to mess with the physical connections and manually reconfigure the router every time the modem drops a connection (which is another issue, but not one for this forum...)).
So both the modem and the router seem to work except for the router's DHCP client. It works fine as a DHCP server for the LAN.
The firmware was already upgraded (and working), I've followed the standard power-cycle procedure, I've released and renewed the IP via the Status tab in the web interface, and I've tried resetting the router using both the button on the unit and via the web interface to revert to factory defaults.
Any suggestions?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I also had this problem which occurred after >2 years of the router working fine. After changing MTU to 1300, cloning the PC MAC address, and power cycling the router and modem fixed the problem. But I was curious to see which change did the trick, so I changed both back to the default (MTU = auto and not cloning the MAC address) and it worked fine! I think the router problem is intermittant and may appear to be fixed by changing setting, but I fully expect it to reoccur.

Need help setting up WRT54G as wireless bridge/repeater

I currently use a WRT54GS as a wireless router. It is located downstairs and can't be moved. I have a few devices upstairs that can't connect to the router because of a weak signal. I can not run a cable upstairs and have a second WRT54G router that I'd like to use as a wireless access point. Can I configure it to work as a wireless bridge or repeater? If so, will the 4 LAN ports work in addition to the wireless ones?

No. You cannot connect the two routers wirelessly, at least not with Linksys firmware. Perhaps there is third party firmware that will convert the WRT54G to a wireless bridge, but this will void your Linksys warranty.
Another option is to add high gain antennas, such as the Linksys HGA7T, to your WRT54GS. Also, try to align the router and wireless adapter antennas so that they are parallel to each other, but perpendicular to the line between them - this should maximize your signal.
