WRT54G ver. 2 stopped working online

Hello, just recently my wireless router (WRT54G ver. 2) stopped working online. Two nights ago I believe it stopped. I can still go online when I plug my computer directly into my modem (Linksys BEFCMU10 ver. 4).
~ Both of my wireless adapters (WUSB54G ver. 4) still can connect to the router, of course they don't recieve internet either.
~ I verified everything was plugged in, and nobody unplugged it the day it stopped working.
If you have any questions, please ask.
Thank you.

did you had a power surge or thunder storm in your area? coz sometimes it can affect the settings on the router
have you tried unplugging both your modem and router for a few minutes and plugging them back in? were you still unable to get internet back?

WRT54GS WAP stopped working abruptly

After working flawlessly for years, my ver. 3 WRT54GS's WAP stopped working today.
Firmware version 4.71.4 was installed over a month ago.
It stopped working with all of my systems; Windows, Linux, WinMobile & wii.
If I leave the router with open wireless, it works.
Nothing happened. No storm, power surge or anything else I can detect.
Otherwise, the router is working perfectly.
I have reset the router and reset it to it's defaults. No luck.
Any suggestions?

No you dont have to Load the backup Config file on your Router. Since you have upgraded the firmware on your Router, you need to re-configure all the settings on your Router manually.
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...

WRT54G VER 6 delayed response when using the web (Old WRT54G VER 2 works fine)

Very strange problem. I have had a 2yr old WRT54G VERSION 2 and it (still) works perfectly except I broke the antenna (I don't even use the wireless side). I just got a new WRT54G VERSION 6 and am having weird problems with it. I have the same problem with THREE DIFFERENT REV 6's (Staples hates me by now) but the old REV 2 always works fine when I swap it back in:
With the REV 6 version when I click on any web link or web site from My Favorites there is like a 5-10 second delay before anything connects. Just dead air for 5-10 seconds with ANY click of the mouse in IE7. When I swap back the old REV 2 version the connection is immediate and fine. If I do a PING it takes 5-10 seconds for the ping to start then it goes fine with the REV 6 but the REV 2 pings out immediately. Same problem with speed-tests. It takes 5-10 seconds to start but the results are fine on the VERSION 6 but the VERSION 2 is fine. I tried the latest firmware and the settings are the same on both router versions. I find it hard to believe I have 3 bad WRT54G REV6 routers but yet the old VER2 one continues to work fine. Comcast says it isn't their problem (and I agree) yet 3 bad routers seems highly unlikely.
One thing I have noted. The INTERNET light on the Version 2 WRT54G blinks at a "leisurely" pace, but the INTERNET light on the 3 VERSION 6's all blink at a tremendously fast rate, probably 5x faster then the REV 2.
For now I'm back to the old Version 2 WRT54G.
Any ideas why 3 Version 6's basically don't work and an old VER2 works absolutely fine (except for the broken antenna).
All routers have most recent firmware updates.

Has to do with the version 6 routers lack of memory, it gets overloaded with packets so it slows down or just stops working. Usually unplugging and plugging back in temporarily fixes it. Do a google search for versions 5 and 6 you will see its a common problem.
The reason your version 2 works better is it has twice the memory. After version 4 they switched from Linux operating system to VXWorks. Supposedly works better with less required memory. Can they be more wrong? LOL
If you want the same performance out of a WRT54G series router look at getting a WRT54GL v1.1. Made with the same specs as versions 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Just checked my GL, coming up on 50 days online without a reboot.

WRT54GS suddenly stopped working

My WRT54GS Linksys wireless router suddenly stopped working. It is not an Internet problem because if I disconnect my router the Internet will start working again. I am connected thru a DSL connection. My router's power light will not stop flashing but all the other necessary lights are on. Any help pls...
Message Edited by nova_flush on 04-18-200702:30 PM

If the Power light is flashing thn thr is 100% problem with router. Power light should be solid green and other lights can be flickering.
Try to change power cord or reset the router for 30 sec and unplug pwer cord and plug back after 10 sec.
Remember powerlight should become solid green.
If not contact tech support bcz it may have gone bad and u will need replacement,
so contact as soon as possible before u run out of warranty period of the router.

My WRT54G suddenly stopped working please help.

Hi, i recently configured the security of the router, and then when i pressed the auto connect on the router it can no longer send a wireless signal... i tried to press the RESET button on the back, it should return it to the factory setting right? but when i connected it it wont give me good ip addresses it says limited or no connectivity, even if i manual set the ip. then try to access the home page it would not work.
i have some ideas how to fix this but i dont know if it is possible or not. :
1.) reset the router from a computer without accessing the page.
2.) go to a service center (if there is an available in the philippines...)
3.) overriding the firmware without accessing the page
please help, or else i would need to spend another 40-50$ for a new router T_T
i also tried to download the easylink firmware, or the easlink connect
but i get a 550 error when accessing the page, the online chat is no help either, they say i am on first queue but no one is answering :/

Hard reset your router for a minute...
Press and hold the reset button for 1 minute...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 1 minute and re-connect the power cable...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...Now check if you can access your router set-up...
Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...IP Address should be 192.168.1.x, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1...
If you get the above mentioned ip address and gateway then you should be able to re-configure your router...If you get an IP Address of 169.254, then reset the router again...If still you don't get the above mentione ip address and gateway then you should give a static ip address on the computer...
Click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>>Network Connections- Right click on the icon for Local area connection and go to properties- On the 'General' tab select 'Internet Protocol TCP/IP' and click on the Properties button- Select 'Use the following IP address'- Provide IP Address - 192.168.1.5, Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway - 192.168.1.1...Click on Ok button to Save and Click on "Close" on main Properties window...Now try to ping the Default Gateway, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press enter, see if you get 4 replies...If it does not then try to diable and security softwares/firewalls on your computer and try to ping it again, you should get 4 replies...
If you get the set-up page then you can configure your router...

WRT54G just stopped working...

I have WRT54G connected to a cable modem for internet service. Came home at lunch yesterday and all was working fine. Came home after work last night and couldn't connect to the internet. Called Charter cable this morning and their troubleshooting showed I can connect to the internet fine if I bypass the router, so the issue must be with the router (and of course not their problem...). How do I trouble shoot this? I've tried powerig down the router and releasing and renewing IP addresses but it hasn't helped. Any ideas?

I am sitting here with My boss's WRT54G V.8 which won't connect to either his Comcast service or my 15mbps FIOS Actiontec after 90 days light use in his home. The router shows 0.0.0.0 as the gateway and 192.168.1.1 as the only DNS. I have had other versions of the WRT54G connected successfully to my Actiontec as well as countless home installs for friends and clients. I am not a noob. I manage the PC Division of an electronics firm in Philadelphia and have advanced networking skills. It appears the V.8 has some problems, at least a batch of them with 3 reports in the same time frame. DSLReports has no info on V.8 yet so this is the only source reporting problems. I suggest you get on the phone with Linksys Monday and start the RMA process.

WRT54G frequently stops working

Hi. I've had a Linksys WRT54G for four years now, and it really hasn't had any big problems. However, lately it has stopped allowing an internet connection. Sometimes every other day, sometimes a couple times a day, we'll lose internet connection on every device in our house. The problem is easily solved by unplugging the router for about ten seconds, however it's pretty inconvenient to have to do that every day.
I just wanted to know what may be causing this. The only things I can think of is maybe it's being overworked or just overheating. We have three PCs, one laptop, one Xbox 360, one Wii, and one iPod touch connected to it. All are connected wirelessly except the xbox and one of the PCs. Also, two of the PCs and the Wii are rarely connected to the internet. If anyone can give me any advice that would be great
Thanks

Most likely you must be using your router since a long time without upgrading it...I would suggest you to upgrade your router's firmware, reset and then re-configure your router...
Download the Firmware from here
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now 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...
If your Internet Service Providor is Cable follow this link
If your Internet Service Providor is DSL follow this link
Adjust Wireless Settings -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
On the setup tab change the MTU to 1400 and click Save Settings...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bit.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...
Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...
Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

HELP! Wireless Router [WRT54G] Suddenly Stopped Working

Hey guys, so over the past 2 weeks i cancelled a previous dsl subscription and i am now with AT&T my activation date was today and at first i wasnt able to connect to the net with my new modem... after chatting with tech suppport they made me login to the modems IP address to configure an email setting which somehow solved my issue i can browse the net perfectly when my macbook is directly connected to the modem with the ethernet cable but when i try to connect the ethernet cable to my linksys wireless router (which worked perfectly fine with the last modem ..) i cant seem to browse the net is there some kind of IP config that i have to do? i dont think the connection itself is faulty since i can successfully log on to the linksys wireless router's ip address and i can also see that connection is at full capacity in the wireless airport connection icon on the top of my window...but when i try to surf the net using the wireless conneciton it kind of just stands still and the page doesnt connect/load... can anyone give me some help pls? thakns

I'm having the same problem today. I've been using this router for a couple of years with no problem. Today the power went out, and now my router can't find the internet. I can connect to the internet if I just plug the modem into my computer, and I can connect my my router wirelessly and get into the setup menus, but the router and modem won't talk to each other. Is there any chance the ethernet jacks on the router fried somehow? When I plug my computer into the router with an ethernet cable none of the 1-4 lights comes on no matter which one I plug into. Is that because they only come on when there is an internet connection, or is there something wrong with them maybe?

Every time I TRY to start firefox 18-19 I get an error message : Firefox has stopped working - close the program and check online for a solution - or - close ..

Every time I TRY to start firefox 18-19 I get an error message : "Firefox has stopped working" - "close the program and check online for a solution" - or - "close the program" this happens TWICE every time I try to start firefox. Eventually after a random number of tries firefox will start normaly. I am useing firefox 19.0.2 now bit I belive it started when I upgraded to firefox 18 but am not sure, it might have been when I upgraded to firefox 19 ... but it has been happening for a very long time and I cannot find any helpfule solutions online.
I have tried a Clean reinstall but it did not help.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

Hello nicolini,
It sounds like iTunes quits unexpectedly everytime you try to open it so you can no longer use it. I recommend the troubleshooting steps in the following article to help you troubleshoot the issue here, named:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
Start with these steps to open iTunes in Safe Mode to see if a 3rd party app may be interfering with iTunes. There is additional troubleshooting to be done in the article if this is not the case:
Start iTunes in Safe Mode
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
Click Continue.
See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling
