WRT54G Ver.#6 Antenna Type Question

Hi,
I've tried my best to find the information I need concerning the actual type of connectors that are used on the factory installed antenna's that come on this router. I looked on the wrt54g specification page for this router, and it doesn't specify what they are. I'm really hoping that someone in here can tell me.
Thanks,
David

I'm pretty sure it's a standard BNC connector.

  • WRT54G ver 6 Port forwarding question

    Howdy... I just purchased the WRT54G ver 6 router to replace my old wired one that was fried after losing power one night... plugged into a $60 surge protector... but I digress... I have 2 PCs plugged into this router... neither are wireless. I host a website and so I setup the router to forward port 80 to the webserver... The loading of images has become incredibly slow. Probably 3 to 4 Xs as slow as the old router... If I plug my cable modem into the pc direct it seems fine, so I dont see a bandwidth issue or upload problem... Seems to be at the router and more specific where the router is forwarding the request. Has anyone run into this? Are there settings on the router somewhere that I can tweak?

    Try to lower your MTU settings.

  • Step by step complete setup for WRT54G ver.6 with Laptop and XBOX 360

    Hello.  I am sorry to post this, I am sure it is a juevenile and redundent question...but I have tried to look for the set up cd (I can find where to download it...though I can find the firmware upgrade or whatever).  My friend at work said it would do all the setup pretty much automatically for me.  
    I somewhat know computers, but you might go ahead and make your replies VERY lamen's terms or I might not be able to follow.  Anyways, what I need, is a step by step/screen by screen directions for a secure network.  I have made a partial attempt at setting it up and it technically works, but I would feel better if I did the steps a-z in order, so I know that it is done correctly.  I also am not totally confident in its security as it is now.  (Also, technically, I did not check the XBOX again after getting the new laptop, I am just assuming it is still working because it was before).
    My problem is I can't seem to find very good directions for setting up the router...I only find partials or confusing directions.
    So here are the things I am trying to connect:
    Liksys WRT54G ver. 6
    Gateway Laptop running Windows Vista
    XBOX 360 - WIRED
    (I had a PC and a laptop, but they both died at the same time and I have only been able to replace the laptop at this point...the PC will come later and not sure at this point if it will be Wired or not).
    I have a cable Modem between the Router and the wall...I didn't look at that for brand/etc...but I can get it ASAP if needed.
    Here are the settings that I have so far:
    Changed the Router Name
    Changed the SSID
    Have DHCP set to 3  (XBOX, PC, Laptop)
    Wireless SSID Broadcast: Disable
    Username and Password changed to my own info
    UPnP: Enable
    I may have changed other things without knowing it.  So like I said, a complete, step by step screen by screen set up would be totally appreciated.  I haven't done anything in the security tab, all that is totally foreign to me, so I am just not broadcasting for now until I can get some help setting things up with you guys.
    And if someone is familiar with the Laptop/XBOX 360 setup, and I need to change any of the settings on the XBOX itself, could you please include that in your directions?  I know that isn't technically what THIS forum is for, but it would sure be helpful to me if you happen to know both parts anyways.
    Thanks a lot (in advance)!

    So all you just need to do is, secure your Wireless Network. Follow the setps bellow and change the settings on your Router.
    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...
    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 WPA, For Encryption, select TKIP...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
    NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...
    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... 

  • WRT54G ver. 6 can no longer connect to the internet after reset

    I reset my WRT54G ver. 6 to clear the password, and now I can no longer connect to the internet with it. I can see the router itself from my PC, but that is all. I've followed the directions here for connection problems, but I can't seem to get an IP Address for it in the Web Configuration tool. Anybody have any thoughts?

    Since you reset your router, you need to reconfigure it back again. try the online utility that automates the configuration. download Easy Link Connect utility at www.linksys.com/connect then download "Netset" and follow instructions.
    if not Easy Link connect didnt work then you need to do the configuration manually.
    1. check physical connection modem should be connected wired to internet port of the router then PC to numbered ports of the router.
    2. Brighthouse i believe is cable connection, right? try power cycle your devices (turn off modem and router then turn on modem 1st then router next). check if your online.
    3. if not. check PC ip. click "start" then "run" type in "cmd" then press "OK". the command prompt should pop-up. type "ipconfig" and check IP and gateway. you should be getting an ip: 192.168.1.x and gateway: 192.168.1.1
    4. access router. open IE, then type in http://192.168.1.1 on address bar.
    5. you will be prompted with username and PW. "admin" is the default password. on setup, just below are subtabs. select "MAC address clone". in it, set "mac clone" to "enable" then click on "clone" then "save settings".
    6. power cycle devices again. try to go online
    note: if you dont have latest firmware. try updating if needed

  • Antenna type in WCS / WLC

    Hello, I am still somewhat new to the wireless side and I saw something today while trying to troubleshoot a wireless issue we were having that I have not heard or read about from my CCNA Wireless studies. I noticed that the antenna types our WCS is showing attached to my APs are wrong.
    My question is, do the APs / WCS / WLC know what type of antenna is connected to the APs automatically or is this a manual process that someone should assign them? The second question is, if it is a manual process (which I suspect it will be) can I change it without disrupting current connections or should I wait until a maintenance window to do this?
    We have 3502e AP with AIR-ANT-1728 and AIR-ANT-5150V-R antennas attached to them, but my WCS says they have the rubber duckies on them. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!                    

    There is no way the WLC even knows what antennas you have. If your using antennas besides the rubber ducks then you need to define that on WCS. If you have Cisco antennas, there is a drop list of the antennas. You also have to make sure of the antenna orientation. This is all defined in the WCS user guide.
    Note
    If you have a ceiling-mounted AP with an integrated omni-directional antenna, the antenna orientation does not really need to be set in WCS. However, if you mount that same AP on the wall, you must set the antenna orientation to 90 degrees.

  • Need alot of help setting up a WRT54G ver.6

    Ok, all i have is the router, (WRT54G Ver. 6 - Wireless G Broadband Router) Ive lost the box it came in, and everything with it. (I also have the power supply & 2 cords) A friend of mine setup everything for me at my old apartment, but Ive moved and have to do everything on my own this time.
    At my old place my computer was the central computer where the broadband modem was, my roommate had a wireless usb card of some kind, that allowed him to connect to the network.
    This time i have to have another computer as the central comp and i need a wireless usb card myself. I dont know what kind to get and how much it will be, any suggestions.
    I also dont know how to set everything up, and what type of hardware/software i will need, i was hoping all the drivers and sofware would be online but im not sure. Im not sure if the computer here needs a different network card or something similar either.
    Im also worried about how my computer is already setup, will i have to delete and redo all the settings already in effect, how do i do all this stuff
    Any advice would be very appreciated, i know nothing at all, not even what wires plug into what.

    setup modem connected to the internet port on the router and pc to the regular port on the router...reset the router for 10sec. then turn if off for the same amount of time while the router is off turn the modem as well.whats the model of your modem?

  • WRT54G Ver 6 Constant Need To Reset!

    I purchased a WRT54G Ver 6.0 Router in April to bring to Iraq with me.  I have it connected to my iDirect 3000 Satellite Modem, with the static IP config input into the WRT54G.
    I have two computers on my desk, my personnal XPS 1710 with Vista and my Work D600 Latitude with XP.  Both computers exhibit the same problems at the same time.  I have even had other computers connected and have had the same problem.
    My problem seems to be a constant need to reset the WRT54G Router.  I was connecting wirelessly.  The system seemed to operate fine for a day or two.  I started to have problems with the connection to the internet dropping.  When it did this, I could not connect to the WRT54G setup page either.  I figured something locally here at the Camp in Iraq might have been interfering with the wireless, so I ditched the wireless and have been using wired connections.  The problems have not stopped.  I am constantly having to unplug and reset the router to reconnect.  When it hangs up, I cannot even connect to the setup page.  Occasionally, it will find itself without reseting the router, but most times, I have to reset.
    I have tried factory default reseting and manually reentering my settings.  I have just updated the firmware, but it didn't seem to solve anything.  In the past few minutes while trying to search for this problem here on this forum, the router dropped the connection twice.  The networking icon on the computer still indicates a connection, on the Vista is shows that a local connection is available only (during the problem).
    I have read a little online and this seems to be a common problem for Linksys.  I have 2 more of these routers, one at home and one at my office in the States.  Both have had the problems, just not as severe.  This router requires reseting at least 15 times a day during my 12 hour shift.
    I bought the Linksys Routers because they did have a reputation for reliability and quality.  Boy, I guess I should have researched this one a bit more.
    I have 5 IP addresses from my Satellite ISP, so I am considering configuring the Router as a Switch or HUB, but I am unsure on how to do this, or of it will even solve my problems.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Vincent

    I am having the almost exactly the same problem. It started about a week ago, (just like alot of others I have read on here recently) and I too will have no access to the set up page once it drops the net. I can still acess other computers on the router, but no net and no router set-up page until I reset it. I'm running the same router, without the firmware update. I have 4 desktops directly into the router..and one laptop wireless. Most of the time, the net will stay on for all the computers for surfing and email. Maybe once or twice a day it will drop access to the internet. a simple unplugging of the power cord resets it and everything is peachy. BUT....try to start a download.(usind DAP *download accelerator plus* or a bit torrent)...WHOA! it's anywhere from an instant drop to maybe ten minutes then drop. Most assuredly it will drop. we have had this router since January, and until a week ago, it worked just fine. no problems. Last week, our ISP upgraded their equipment and increased the bandwidth. (we have to use a cellular connection with a static IP being out in the boonies far enough that cable and DSL are still not available) The problems started at the same time and I thought it might be a problem with them. After testing one of the computers with a direct connection to the internet modem, everything, including a major download, worked just fine. It is definately a router problem. I spent quite a lengthy time on the phone with Linksys tech support, and the nice lady had me change the MTU rate from 1500 to 1300. It seemed to work, but about an hour after being done with the support call, things started to go wonky again. I am just about at my wits end!! Nothing has been changed on the router settings except that one thing that tech support instructed me to do. I am kinda leary about upgrading the firmware because I have been seeing a ton of *my router wont work with firmware update* or *now my router is frozen* posts. I have to type in a ton of settings because I am using a static IP and I really don't want to do all that again!! lol PLEASE, somone have a solution to this problem! It is driving me mad!! I would really hate to have to buy a new router, but my roomate is about to that point if this doesn't get fixed soon.

  • WRT54G ver 2 Mac and PC issues

    I have...
    a WRT54G ver 2, firmware v4.21.1 (latest available for this model),
    two PC desktops wired (192.168.1.101) - second desktop not used much),
    a PC laptop wireless (169.254.58.14),
    a Mac Desktop wireless (192.168.1.104),
    and 2 Mac Laptops (169.254.75.54) (169.254.254.36).
    The problem is...
    When one of the wireless computers is turned on it won't connect unless the router is powered down and back on. It will be fine until one of the other wireless computers are turned on and now it doesn't connect. It is possible to get them all simultaneously connecting, but difficult. It seems to be in the timing. I still haven’t nailed it down. Frustrating...
    The questions...
    Did I give enough information?
    Can I do what I want with this router or do I need to upgrade?
    If can do, what settings?
    If can't, new hardware recommendations?
    Thanx

    Thanks! I had already downloaded and installed the latest firmware, but it didn't really help. I set the parameters you described, and bam, all wireless devices work. I shut down and restarted each one to verify, and they can access the network!
    Again, Thanks a lot!

  • 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?

  • Internet Light Blinking on WRT54G Ver. 6

    We are changing from Earthlink DSL to Comcast cable internet.  Purchased and installed a Linksys CM100 cable modem.  Initially connected the CM100 directly to a laptop and got connectivity to the internet. Added the WRT54G Ver. 6 router between the modem and laptop, changed the router's "internet connection type" to "automatic configuration - DHCP", cloned the MAC address (both per Linksys Answer ID 3686 at http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/prnt_adp.php?p_faqid=3686&p_created=1151...= then power cycled the modem and router.  We now have internet connectivity through the CM100 / WRT54G combination but the "internet'" led on the front of the WRT54G blinks rapidly rather than being on steadily.  Is this normal behavior or is it indicating connection problems? Thanks for any insight.

    Its normal...Internet light blinking means data transfer(send and receive) .

  • WRT54G ver 6, serious issues

    I recently bought a WRT54G, ver 6. For a while, it worked. We were happy. Now, we have a wireless connection, but are unable to load any websites.
    Regularly resetting the router seems to work, for short periods of time (5-20 minutes, if that).
    Our firmware is current, we've spent time on the phone with Linksys (Hi, India!), and everything seems to be correct.
    All the computers have Windows XP, ISP is D&E Communications, we have cable internet. We've upgraded drivers and/or wireless cards, to no effect.
    In addition, we have one laptop connected to the router via ethernet cable. That computer is unable to access webpages when the other computers are unable to access anything through the wireless network.
    Any help would be great, since we're getting very close to returning the router and spending a few more hours on the phone with Linksys to get our money back - the router is less than a month old. This much difficulty is unacceptable.

    Did you try going to the administration menu in the web setup page? then to diagonistics sub menu ---> then to ping button --> after which new window appears, where in you can type in any domain name like www.google.com and clcik on ping to check the connectivity. If you get the response then you have the internet connection till your router. If you are able to get response from ping then instead of providing dynamic ip to the pc's you can check with static ip. if it works then something is wrong with DHCP lease.

  • WRT54G Ver.2 Trying to set up Online gaming.

    I will give an exact detail on what I am trying to do, so it will help you all determine my problem.
    I have a Wireless WRT54G ver.2 router and my buddy has the same type of set-up.
    I am trying to set up an online game with my friend playing Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour. When we set-up our game, both of our IP's are the 192.168.1.XXX. I try to connect to his I.P., but it tells me "Connection timed out". We have tried to disconnect the router on his end, and it still gives the same error. When I go into the options in the game, it says my I.P is 192.168.1.100. How can we connect if we are both using routers that have this similar IP. It is a pain in the @$$ to have to disconnect both of our routers just to get a few games in. So this is my situation, and I hope this is enough info to help me out. Thanks in advance. ~Donte

    Hi there!
    You need to forward ports (by doing port forwarding on your router) first so it can pass the router's firewall...and by the way, the IP address the game is referring to is the public "Internet" IP address which is on the status tab of your router. For the forwarding instructions click here
