WRT54G ver.7 Cannot Connect ...

I am having trouble using WRT54G on my server. Still i have no internet when i connect my PROLINK ADSL2+ Modem/Router to my LINKSYS WRT54G router. The process is this 1. I run the CD first, 2. I connect the modem cable to the internet port of Linksys router, 3. I connect the LAN cable on the 1st port of the router (from 1,2,3,4) and connect it to my LAN on my server. 4. And continue the instructions from the CD. Still it says that no internet detected at all. I tried to reset my Linksys router several times but still cannot connect. I tried to use Easylink from Linksys.com but still cannot detect any internet connection. I tried to reset my dsl modem as well and no internet connection detected again. I tried to configure some items on my linksys router but i am not successful doing it again. My Linksys router is set in DHCP Automatic configuration then my routers IP is 192.168.1.1 and the other is in default settings. I dont need to use some username and password to connect on my internet because it is plug and play only. If i only use my modem connected directly to my server, there is internet connection but when i use my router there is no connection at all. Is there any configuration can you suggest to make my router functional when i use it?

Well tell me who provides you with the internet service if its a Cable or DSL connection accordingly i will give you the information....all you need to do is check if you are able to go online with the modem if yes then you need to connect modem to the interner port of the linksys router & then from any one of the four ports on the linksys router you need to connect a cable to the pc & you will be able to go online without any issue.

WRT54G Router cannot connect to internet

I have Earthlink DSL and am trying to connect to the internet via the WRT54G from my Dell desktop. (Can connect to internet directly through modem just fine.)Have ethernet cable connected to DSL modem and router internet port. Have other cable connected to ethernet desktop port and port1 on router. Setup CD fails on "checking internet connection."
Per tblshooting docs:
Have changed IP to 192.168.2.1
Have changed to PPPOE, with ISP [email protected] and password.
Powered off modem, router, PC. Restarted.
Try to connect to internet--Earthlink dial-up pop-up comes up because there's no DSL connection.
Help.

On top of IE.... go to tools... internet options... then connections... then check the box that says never dial a connection.....
Go back to default 1st on the router. Start from scratch by pressing the reset button of the router for 20-30 seconds , then power down router for 10 seconds and power it back up.
The go back to the router interface (192.1681.1) and leave it as just Obtain IP Automatically or Automatic Configuration DHCP... then go to MAC Address Clone.. enable... clone... save settings... then go to the status page and tell us what is the Internet IP Address value that you see...

WRT54G V8 Cannot Connect

I have been using this router fine for a year now. Now I can only get on the internet if I am directly plugged into the modem. It says I have limited connectivity. My ISP is Comcast. I have tried resetting the router with no luck. I have tried to update the drivers but I cannot even log into 192.168.1.1. I am in dire need of the wireless cpability. Anyone know what I can do? When I go to the run command and type ipconfig it tells me I have no default gateway.

WRT54GS Ver 6 - Connectivity Issues.

I purchased this WRT54GS about a month ago, and got it working. Everything worked fine, then this morning I started having issues. My Internet keeps 'locking up' to a certain point. When it happens:
-I lose the ability to go to any web page
-My online game I play connects fine, and works normally - but then it crashes when I try to go to a new Zone
-Internet applications (Anti Virus, Spybot) can't connect to update - they don't 'see' the internet
Yet - my VOIP continues to work normally. However, to use any other Internet functionality, I have to use Ipconfig /release and /renew.
I have bypassed the Linksys router, and connected directly to the Cable Modem - and the problem vanishes. I tried updating the Firmware, no change.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do to fix this?
*Edit = I've checked out all the configuration options I can, and checked out every FAQ I could find. I hope someone reads this soon who can offer some advice.

"Frunple" is right.Your problem is not unique and has been experienced by many customers who bought version 5 and 6 of this router. I was one of them who had 3 or more random disconnects a day for over 2 months. Linksys tech support tried very hard to correct this with many different reconfigurations but nothing helped. Exchanging the orignal router to two more version 6 routers also did not cure the problem. Only when I changed the router to a WRT54GL did the problem stop instantly.
The reason is that the WRT54GL is really a resurrected WRT54G version 4 which was based on a different design. Starting with version 5 and 6 Linksys changed the RAM from 16 MB to 8 MB and the Flash Memory from 4 MB to 2 MB. They also changed the operating system to "VxWorks". Something is very wrong in this design.
If you want to cure the problem then try to replace your router with a version 4 or earlier or get a WRT54GL which is really a "WRT54G version 4" with a new name.
Since I did change I have now not had any disconnects for one month.

WRT54GS Ver 6 connection issues

Does anyone know what would be causing my router to loose connection every week? I've done whatever was suggested in the forums here and still every week I have to do a hard reset to get the router back online. When this issue occurs I'm unable to log into the router's admin page, yet I can ping the router from all my PC's. This is the 2nd Linksys router that's I've gone through and both had the latest firmware. I'm thinking of moving to DLink or Netgear. Thoughts?

As you are loosing connection every week ....it seems that routers software is not working properly ........ download the latest firmware from http://linksys.com/download ...... after upgrade reset the router for 20-30 seconds .....
check if it is showing same problem.....

try out a few tweaks in the wireless settings....
change the ssid , channel to 1 or 11...
under the "advanced wireless settings" , change the beacon interval - 50 , fragmentation threshold - 2304 and RTS threshold - 2304 ....
do a power cycle after changing the settings

WRT54GS cannot connect via wire...connects wirelessly

I have a WRT54GS and cannot connect laptop via wire.
I can connect wirelessly, but when I try hard wire no go.
I have attempted to update the ethernet adapter it is up to date.
I have rebooted
I have put the mac address into my router. no go
If I connect the wire from the laptop directly to the cable modem it works.

Hooked it to another cable right by the router WRT54GS and it connected, and it worked.
Also If I bypass the router from the non working location it works.
No error message there is however a little red X between the router and the www globe when I try and use the wizard.
No access restriction...just tried it fwiw
Have not tried upgrading
or
Not tried default

Hi... it seems that your Wireless adapter on does get a IP address or DNS no after reboot. Try assigning a Static IP address and DNS on the Wireless Adapter. Also try to update the drivers for that wireless adapter.

WRT54G -- Cannot connect to internet

I just updated my router and gave my old WRT54G Ver 2.0 to a friend friend.   It was working on my home network with no problems.
When we got it to his house, we are unable to connect to the Internet. We have tried both the original install disk and configuring the router manually.
His ISP is Verizon DSL
He is running Win XP on his Dell desktop.
The Dell is hardwired to the WRT54G
He is able to connect to the Internet when directly connected to the Verizon provided modem.
When running Linksys install wizard, everything seems to going smoothly until we get to Step 7.   At that point we "Cannot connect to the Internet."
Any suggestions?

well , PPPoE set up is authenticating the connection with the ISP....it is not related with the office or the home environment...
if u get 192.168.1.x as the internet ip add on the router's status page , then u need to change the router's ip add to 192.168.2.1....because if u do not change it there is a conflict in the ip add of the router and that on the modem....so the need to change the ip add of the router...
however , in that case the modem has the router features still enabled....so a better way is to bridge the modem....by doing that u stop the modem to act as a router and it will act only as a modem...and allow the linksys to handle the routing feature...

WRT54GS-Ver. 6 - Never shows that it has internet connection

Hi,
I have been trying to resolve a problem and I can't no matter what I do.
I have Model # WRT54GS - Ver. 6, I have had it over a year and the problem started a year ago when I bought it so my daughter could connect her computer wirelessly with mine. It was working just fine and then it started disconnecting one computer when the other was on, the two of them could never be on at the same time, anyway my daughter moved out and I put the router away not worried anymore about the problem. 5 days ago I bought a Dell Inspirion Laptop with Vista and reconnected the router to my main computer (Dell Dimension 3000 with Windows XP)
Here is the problem - I can only get connectivity to one computer at a time or neither of them will connect, when I check out the advisor it ALWAYS shows up as if there is no connction to the internet even if I can get on with one of the computers. I have a Touchstone telephony ARRIS modem with Cox Internet (always been the same) I have tried to download the updates for the router but I can never open it as it saves as a VLC media file(.bin) and if I try to "unzip" it , it says "cannot open file as archive" always.
I have reset, rebooted, un plugged all connections and I don't know what else to do. I have had about 4 diffferent encryption keys already when I have to disconnect. I have also tried removing it from my computer and re-installing .
Can any one help PLEASE
Thanks in advance.

Ok, now I think I have a bigger problem,
I did as posted from "HELM" and downloaded firmware and everything downloaded fine thanks to the instructions given, but after rebooting and unplugging, waiting 30 sec. and replugging the power, now easylink advisor tells me that it cannot find the router...I tried disconnecting the power to the modem and router as it indicates and then waitng the proper amount of time for each one and reconnecting, but to no avail.
So I diconnected the router completely and connected directly to the modem to be able to write back and ask what can I do now that the router is now longer recognized?
Should I just trash it and buy another one because there is no hope for this one.
Thanks in advance.

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

WRT54G Ver 6 Internet connectivity problems

Alright so here's the deal.
I'm on Windows XP with Verizon DSL (in Orange County, CA) that uses a Westell modem (just modem, not modem and router combo).
I have the old Linksys BEFSR41 v.2 router that runs with everything fine.
I just bought the WRT54G Version 6 and connected everything up as needed. Powered things down and then back up. And it could not detect an Internet connection, but I could access the router via web browser.
- Ran the Setup CD and it couldn't find the internet.
- Upgraded the firmware.
- I searched the forums and did not find a successful solution.
- Called my ISP to confirm it is DHCP.
- Talked to Linksys Support via phone and he had me do all sorts of stuff. Releasing, Renewing, Local IP Address changes, pinging, MAC, etc. All this to try to get some sort of IP address with the internet.
- Tried it with a diff WRT54G Ver 6 (Yeah. I bought two. One for me, and one to bring to my parents), and it still didn't work. (Can't be that both the routers I got are defective.)
- Searched forums some more and ran across the EasyLink program. I used it, and it tells me my freaking Wired adaptor is disabled. Where do I enable it? Can't be my computer because it all works fine with the old Linksys router I got....or could it?
- Powered down and back up in many different combinations.
Did all that to no avail. Anyone got a solution? I couldn't find anything that worked. I'm about to go return this and get something else tomorrow. Maybe if I wake up, there will be a workable solution that is replied back.
Thanks in advance to all those that tried to help and posted something, or didn't post due to having no solution.
- Chris

Yup Yup Yup. I tried the WAN address thing and it still didn't work.
I was about to pack everything up and go return the stupid thing. BUT.....I decided to talk to Verizon DSL support since I hadn't tried that.
They helped me out good!!!
Here's the solution.
I plugged in the old router, the BEF, and went to Status to click the DHCP Release. Then unplugged the old router.
Then per Verizon DSL support instruction....powered down the modem, then powered it back up and waited for lights to stabilize. Then I plugged in the new router, the WRT. And went to Status (IP was already autofilled, with internet working) but I still clicked DHCP Renew.
It all works. WOOOOOO!!!!
By the way. The WAN address thing is important. I went to it on the new, WORKING router and disabled the WAN address. The internet stopped working. I re-entered in the WAN address I copied and the internet worked again. So......yeah.
I hope for all those out there having the same problems as me, and without a solution, see this thread and try this.
Thanks again for your guys' help.
**edit**
By the way. Is there a way to stop my internet to being a stickler to this MAC address? I'm just curious. I'm gonna go google MAC address and see if I can read anything useful.

Any chance you have an XBox connected to this router? I've got three friends all with WRT54G ver 8 routers with XBoxes connected and it almost seems like something is trying to hack the security password. I'm searching to see if there is then a lock out which requires a manual reset. It just started happening around Christmas time.
