WRT54G ver 2 - Shows Im connected to wireless but cant get on internet
I just moved into a new apartment and am having trouble getting my wireless router to work. I just got my cable internet set up and can get on with the modem fine but cant get the wireless to work so my roommate can get online. I think i was able to get online when i had the modem connected to the router with a ethernet cord going from router to computer but cant even get that now. I tried some of the FAQ guides like "setting up a router with cable internet' and 'seting up wirless settings on a linksys router" and cloning my MAC and downloading new firmwear for the router but still no luck.
Everything worked fine a couple days ago at my old house. When i search for wirless networks on my mac I see my linksys and it has full connection. When i go to it it shows green lights for ethernet,network settings and ISP but internet and Server are red. I would really like to get wireless internet up so me and my roommate dont have to share the modem tonight so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Bypass the router and connect the computer directly to the modem. Make sure that you can access the Internet through the modem.
Connect the modem to the Internet port and the same computer to Ethernet port 1 on the router.
Check the lights on the router. You will see Power, Port 1, Wireless and Internet lights on the router.
Turn OFF the Airport on your computer.
Press and hold the reset button on your router for 30 seconds. Release the reset button and wait for 30 seconds. Power cycle the router and restart your computer.
Open the internet browser and in the address bar type http://192.168.1.1 and log in to the router setup page.
Go to MAC address clone sub tab. Enable the MAC address clone and click on Clone my PC's MAC. Save the settings.
Unplug the power to the router and modem. First plug in the power to the modem. Wait for 1 minute and then plug in the power to the router. Wait for a minute and then try to access the Internet on your computer.
If you are still not able to access the Internet then open the setup page of the router again and check the Internet IP address on the status page.
If you are not getting Internet IP address then router and modem are not communicating with each other.

Connected to Router, but not getting any Internet access
Hello,
So I recently got my parent's old router. It's a Linksys WRT54G. I had used it with my MBP when I lived with them a year ago, and I never had a problem. Airport was always able to locate their network and log into it.
6 months ago I moved out and have been using a direct Ethernet connection to my Road Runner Cable modem. No problem.
Yesterday I did some rearranging of my apartment, and now my computer isn't near a cable outlet. So I got the old router old and started getting it running.
Over many stress filled hours I have it at the point where my MBP is connected to the network (I named it, gave it a password, it shows a strong signal), but I have no Internet access. I even ran the Network Diagnostics a couple times, and it said my Internet connection appeared to be working correctly. Yet I can't open up any pages in Safari.
I don't know if I need to change any of the router settings?? Or if it's just an old router and I need a new one?? I've unplugged, replugged, and restarted everything numerous times, and still nothing.
Thank you!Hi Rod,
Let me start by mentioning that when I hit the 'reply' button to write this post, it took more than 6 min for the page to appear. During that time, the 'connected time' displayed to the right of the 'radar' icon slid in and out dozens of times (indicating a dropped connection). If you have the 'magic' broth, I'd be happy to drink it.
You must have seen my posting on the InformationWeek website, which I wrote on after reading the review of the MacBook products in their email newsletter that I receive. I normally don't post on blogs but after reading the pulp in that review - after trying AppleCare and the Genius bar and seeing all of the posts here (with no fix forthcoming from Apple), I felt the need to both vent and to seek a solution outside of these discussion pages.
I have posted the details of my MBP/Airport connectivity issues in detail on other threads here but I would be happy to reiterate them.
My problems appeared to start after the 10.5.2 update. My connections became unbearably slow, to the point that I would begin to get Safari browser connection error messages (i.e., no server response...not connected to the internet, etc.) Then I noticed that the 'connected time' displayed to the right on the 'radar' icon in the menu bar was 'sliding' in and out (I didn't realize what this meant at the time but soon realized that every time it 'slid' out (disappeared) represented a 'droped' connection and when it 'slid' back (reappeared) it represented a reconnection. Both at home and at the office, I run under static IP addresses (home = MaxDSL with Westell modem to APEBSg; office = T-1x2 with NetGear). But about a month ago, I did some more testing. I run VM Ware and Windows Vista and my assumption had been, since Vista, running under VM Ware, utilizes all of the Mac I/O ports, that Vista would share the same slowness with the Mac Airport Wi-Fi. I tried it and, much to my surprise, the connection speed was great (like normal). I then tried an Ethernet hardwire to the Ethernet port on the APEBSg and got the same great connection speed.
So, MBP Airport works with Vista but not with Mac OS and by-passing the Airport Wi-Fi with a hardwire works with both Vista and Mac OS. It's only the Mac OS trying to go through the onboard Airport that gets choked down to unacceptable connection speeds.
I have tried all of the suggestions posted on the discussion board (resetting the CSM, PMU, etc). But, like everyone else, to no avail.
So, it's all about being connected via Wi-Fi (with my 'portable'). That's my problem. And, as you can see from all of the posts, it's not just me. So, you must have received the 'wonder machine' when you got your MBP. My MBP is a 1st gen but you can read posts here of people who just bought theirs (some who indicated that they were 'switchers') and it wouldn't connect right out of the box with 10.5.2. So, I realized that it wasn't 'me' - it was a real problem.
And, I might add that I've been an 'enthusiastic' Apple user since 1979. I've owned almost every model along the way - except for the LISA. In the past year alone, I've encouraged four people to 'switch' to Mac (three of whom I actually accompanied to the Apple Store and helped them with their selection). So, I'm a longtime - happy - user (my wife has a PBG4, my daugher a MacBook, my son a new MBP, plus I have an iMac and a CubeG4) who has hit a bump in the road and have become very frustrated by the fact that Apple does not appear to be responding to a real issue.
I welcome any advice that you might have to offer. -
Wifi showing connected but cant get on internet
Dear friends, I have a Blackberry Torch 9800
Version details:
6.0 bundle 2949 (v6.0.0.668, Platform 6.6.0.236)
WLAN version 4.3.0.97
My problem is that BB connects to the wifi router but whenever i try to use facebook or twitter or browser, the message appears as there is no data plan to support this service. BB always tries to connect to internet via my mobile network, despite being connected to wifi.
service status shows the following info for Wifi network:
Active Profile : [ssid_name]
SSID : [ssid_name]
Type: 802.11b/g/n
I have absolutely no idea why this is happening?Hi!I have the same pblm with my Torch 9800 bundle 2949. I have wifi only few minutes just after a reboot. Could anyone help please?

Whenever I update from Windows 7 get error 1602, iPod shows USB connection to iTunes, but iTunes will not recognize the device. None of the Apple documentation helps. The Apple Mobile Device driver is loaded and operating. The anti-virus software and firewall are not at fault (were uninstalled, and made no difference). The iTunes on my older machine running Vista does recognize the inoperative iPod (iTunes has detetced an iPod in recovery mode) and allows me to restore the device. Can anyone help to resolve this problem on the Windows 7 PC?
So yu tried all of this:
Error 1600, 1601, 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for error 1604.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
If you had then time for an appointment at ther Genius Bar of an Apple store. -
My iphone is connected to wireless but internet doesn't work
hi,
my iphone 4s is connected to wireless, but the internet won't work. i know the internet is working, because i'm able to access it from my computers. and this problem is happening at every wireless network i've tried in the last 48 hours. it is connected to all the wireless networks, but is not getting internet. the phone works and i'm able to get texts. but none of the apps the use the internet are working. i do not have a data plan, so i can only access the internet through wireless.
i have tried all of the following:
i have restarted my phone.
i have reset my network settings.
i have turned off wifi networking in location services.
still no dice. any other suggestions, short of wiping my entire phone?Hi there,
This just happened to me and was super frustrating! Thank you for your post and working out how to fix the bug. I have one question. After you reset your VPN in settings, did you resort your iPhone on your computer after? I am just wondering if restoring it now will help stop the bug happening in the future?!?!
Cheers! -

For the first time, I'm trying to use adobe premiere elements 10 that came with my pc Windows 8. I created a single project, saved it but cannot open it. My pc shows the file I created but I get an error message that says this type file is not supported or the codex is not installed. As a test, I created another very small project and get the same error message, when I try to open it. Pls give me a simple answer, a refund or a phone
mike frischenmeyer
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 10 running on? And, what video card/graphics card does that computer use?
Is this the first time you are using Premiere Elements 10 or have you worked with it before successfully? There is no easy solution until we
know the details and troubleshoot to determined what caused the problem.
1. Can you open a new project?
2. After you saved/closed the problem project, did you move, delete, or rename any of the files/folder that were related to the source media
for that project?
3. Please review the Adobe document on troubleshooting damaged projects.
Troubleshoot damaged projects | Adobe Premiere Elements
4. What are the steps that you are using to reopen this saved closed project.
a. File Menu/Open Project/Name of Project
b. Other
Please review and consider and then we can decide what next based on your further details and results..
Thank you.

My PowerBook G4 says that it's connected to wifi, but it still no internet connection. The connection will work for a while, and then I'll have to run diagnostics and it will work again for a few minutes and then stop working again. What's going on??

we are unable to sign in to iMessages, wifi connection is fine but we get the error message, pls check your network connection. Does anyone know how to fix this
there has been a big problem with facetime and imessage. The best solution for this case is to restore your device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Make sure you back it up. and I would set up facetime before you reinstall your backup and make sure its working. -

put a date 1970 june 27 . and now the whole system is out of control i cant get to internet cannot change date and time always when i opened system preferences stays in a waiting mode but doesnt show any opcion don t know what to do and i just bought this computer
It may well be a driver issue but considering the loading: Xorg trying to load different drivers is somewhat normal. @cafe you can see that these are autoconfigured by X above the loading in the log:
Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched intel as autoconfigured driver 0
Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched intel as autoconfigured driver 1
Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched modesetting as autoconfigured driver 2
Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched fbdev as autoconfigured driver 3
Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched vesa as autoconfigured driver 4
As long as one of the drivers gets loaded, which it apparently does the failing of the others is fine.
Was there an update maybe ? -
