WRT54G ver 6 - Can't access internet on peripheral computer

Everything is set up and running for my other computer linked through the router, but I can't quite get this laptop set up.
It doesn't have a LinkSys adapter.  When I open up the Wireless Network Connection Properties Window, I select this wireless service.  It tries to connect to my network.  Asks for the network key, which I put in, then tells me it needs to be 40 or 104 bits.  Is this the same as my password I set up initially onto my router?  If so, why is it giving me the bit error?

Hey..here could be the problem..While installing the router, you must have entered a " passphrase"..Now this "passphrase" will generate either a 10 or a 26 digit no...Your laptop recognises this 10/26 digit no...To get this number try the following steps...
Go to the wired computer..Open IE and type http://192.168.1.1 . Logon to the router set up page by keeping the username blank and "admin" as the default password..On the set up page, click on the " wireless " tab and go to " wireless security " subtab. And check the security key where it says " Key 1 " .

  • WRT54GS & WMP54GS Can't Access Internet.

    I have two computers and both are Dell.  I have cable modem connecting to internet, which is connected by wired to the WRT54GS wireless router.  The new computer is Windows XP and connects to the wireless router via ethernet (Wired Connection) and is able to access the internet without problem.
    Here is where I have the problem.  The old computer was running on Windows ME with WMP54GS wireless adapter and it worked.  I've purchased and installed a Windows XP home over the Windows ME.  Reinstall the driver for WMP54GS, manually reconfigured the settings for the Adapter using windows zero config. and is able to connect to the WRT54GS wireless router.  I can share and print file over the wireless network with the new computer, but can not access the internet.
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

    if the computer has win xp sp2 , then go to teh command prompt and type netsh winsock reset catalog
    restart the computer and check whether its online...
    if not , go to the wireless network connection properties >> TCP/IP properties >> use the following DNS servers....  4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.3

  • New Ipod Touch 5g can't access Internet in home network (using Linksys E4200 router). But, OK with other Wifi.

    Just bought new Ipod Touch 5g. I found out it can't access Internet in home network. not really cannot access, but very slow to open any web page, App Store failed to access, etc. But, OK with other Wifi (office & starbucks). Others existing iOS devices (Iphone4 & Ipad2) have no problem like this. I'm using Linksys E4200 router at home. anyone has any idea why?

    Try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>GeneralReset>Reset Network Settings

  • IPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet.

    iPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet at work. The admin says the router lets my iPhone connect to LAN, but the iPhone does not have server IP to access the internet. I entered the server IP and port number in the HTTP PROXY fields but I still can not access the web. Any ideas?
    TIA
    Rich

    You IT person should be able to sort this out.  But, they seems to be too busy or disinterested to do this.  Suggest you provide the it person with an iPhone to get interested.
    Any could be lots of things.
    The best you can do is to get access to the admin setup for networking on a pc?  The internet settings are all the same.  Only what names the manufactures change from OS to OS. Check and compare parameters.
    Phone works to internet at home, I assume?

  • I installed a new airport express and made it part of my existing home network...  now the PCs can't access internet through the airport extreme or the cisco access points

    Everything works perfect with Macs, iPhone, iPads but I have 2 pcs that now can't access internet. The PCs connect to the airport and my other access points but no internet- The PCs sent an error of DNS

    Yes, as we already said, it will do all of this if you have a good wireless signal reaching the bedroom.
    Remember that an extender or repeater or whatever you want to call it can only extend the quality of signal that it receives.
    The Ethernet signal that the Express delivers will only be as good as the quality of the wireless connection between the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express.
    If you have doubts, make sure that you understand the store's return policy before you buy.

    Upgrading to Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    You can purchase Snow Leopard by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
    Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
    Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
    Snow Leopard from eBay
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
    Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
    Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
      1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)

  • How can i access my sons laptop computer to set up security if i don't know his password'

    How can i access my sons laptop computer to set up security if i don't know his password?

    If you have your own admin account on his computer, then you don't need to access his account.  However, what type of security do you mean?  If you mean network security then that is done in the router, not the computer.  If you are referring to Parental Controls those need to be configured via an admin account - either his or yours.

    After recently moving I broke my keyboard,this has now been replaced but I've forgotten my password so can't access anything on the computer.anyone know what I can do?It dosent give me the option of forgotten password!

    I'm totally confused, since keyboard and password are mutually exclusive items. In other words, use what you used with the broken keyboard.

  • WRT54G v6 - Can Connect to wireless network but can't access internet

    Ok, this is my last resort for help. I spent two hours yesterday with linksys "chat" support to no avail.
    First the techincal details:
    OS for all machines = Windows XP
    Laptop w/two adapters - one wired, one wireless
    WRT54G v6 upgraded with 1.00.9 firmware
    SpeedStream modem from DSL provider
    I have manually set the IP, subnet mask, gateway, primary and secondary DNS for my wireless adapter (using the Alternate Configuration in the Internet Protocol Properties of the Wireless Network Connection). When I connect to the wireless network I see that the IP, subnet, gateway and DNS server IPs are all correct (via ipconfig /all).  I see that I am connected to my SSID (11.0 MBps, signal strength Excellent) however I can't access web sites (the server not found message appears in the browser) nor can I ping the router IP or any other IP (LAN or WAN).
    My wired PC works fine with this router. My laptop works fine with this router when wired. 
    Anyone face a similar situation and have a solution?  Thanks.

    A new discovery...
    When I disable the wireless security on the router, I am able to connect to the wireless network, ping the router and access the internet.  So, there is apparently something wrong with the WEP security (although I am able to connect to the wireless network when WEP is enabled). 
    I am thouroughly confused. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

  • Laptop connects to wireless network via a WRT54G but it can't access internet

    I’ve got a WRT54G cabled to my desktop, I set up a WEP-secured wireless network for my laptop, and the laptop connects to the wireless network and receives a strong signal, but it can’t get Internet access. I know the problem is not with the router because the laptop CAN get internet access when it's cabled to the router.  (So the problem isn’t an IP address problem—which I knew because I had to reconfigure the static IP of the laptop to get it to connect to the network in the first place.)  I turned off the Windows firewall, Symantec virus protection, and Internet Explorer’s pop-up blocker on the laptop. The laptop connects perfectly to the wireless network and receives a strong signal, so why can’t it access the internet??
    Linksys tech support couldn’t figure it out, so I really need your help.  Thank you!

    (because I wanted it to have the same static IP address as the router).
    Just wanted to clarify what you meant in this post. If you entered the router's IP address as the static IP for the laptop, you would get the symptoms that you are describing. Try entering a IP that isn't normally used like 192.168.1.142. (That is assuming that your router IP is the default 192.168.1.1.)
    If that isn't the issue, please tell me what ipconfig is returning on both the laptop and the desktop.

  • WRT54GS V4.0 Laptop Connects But can't access internet unless I am in DMZ mode.

    This is recent. I've changed no settings or otherwise done anything to block access, but I've had this problem 2 times now, and I'm beginning to think the router is crapping out on me.
    Here's why I know it is not the laptop Wifi that is the problem... When I am connected to the router, I CAN access the router administration pages, but I can't access anything on the internet itself unless the modem is in DMZ mode(I have to put it into DMZ mode and then power cycle the router). If the modem is in DMZ mode, I have no problems.
    This only happens with the Wireless connection. On my desktop I have no such problems either way.
    I have been using this router since January of this year and have not had any issues until recently when I would occasionally have to reset the laptop's connection to this router, and now this issue.
    Note: after it happened the first time, I took my laptop over to the in-laws house and I had no issues for the entire day that I was using the laptop. I come back here to my router and start having issues again.
    P.S. I use Ethereal (wireless security monitor) to determine what channels others are using within my range and have set mine to different channels that do not conflict with others, but still no change.

    Hi.. What are the DNS serves that are assign to your laptop when you have this issue? Are they public or private? Are you able to ping to any of these DNS server?
    You should have public DNS server assign to your laptop. and you should be able to ping to that DNS server to make sure that you have internet connection. If you dont have public dns server, try to ping to 4.2.2.2 (a very common dns server) if you are able to ping to this, then assign this dns to your laptop. you should be online.
    Also try to upgrade the firmware on the router.
