WRT54G ver7.0

Hello!
I have a WRT54G ver7.0 wireless router. My only problem is that i simply can't set up VPN to work. I tried everything possible with no luck. What worked with a wrt54gc, is not working now. After searching after this issue i realized, that i'm not alone with this. I know there are modded firmwares for the other versions of this router, that can fix the issue, but what's the case with v7? It's incompatible with nearly all of the 3rd party firmwares. Is there any known fixes, or compatible modded drivers? If not, will at least linksys fix it with a new firmware in the near future?

Cannot believe this! v7.00.7 beta firmware solved the issue!! Thanks god

WRT54G ver7.2

On the download page for the WRT54G, there is no ver 7.0.
Is this because there are no updates available or is there something missing?
Thx for you reply.

So, what was the solution?

Wrt54g ver7 connection lost after a minute

my pc's internet was running smoothly when it was connected directly to a modem/router (zyxel). but when i hook up a wrt54g v7 (latest firmware installed) it only connects maybe up to a minute then losses its connection. i ping the router for the first minute and it was replying but after the first or the seconde minute, it shows "request time out".
another thing, i connect the modem/router (zyxel) and the wrt54g (i did not connect the pc to the wrt54g) , then tried to connect my Wii wirelessly and it was detected and connected to the net, and surfing good.
now i dont know whats the problem, is it my pc or sumthing else?
thanks

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

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...

Error in archive directory FW_WRT54Gv8.2_8.2.08.001_US_20091005.bin

I looked around and could not see an answer for this yet. have a Wireless-G BroadBand Router (WRT54G) ver7.2 running on windows xp pro sp2. I tried to upgrade from http://192.168.1.1/Upgrade.htm in explore but it says it fails. Any help? I want to see if it can see theusage from the other 4 devices that it is connected to. I thought I say the the new version firmware can do this.

1. You cannot flash firmware for a WRT54Gv8.2 on a WRT54Gv7.2. You always must choose the correct hardware version you have. Never try to flash a firmware file for a different hardware version. In your case you are lucky because the upgrade does not accept the wrong firmware file. In the worst case you could damage your router.
2. You cannot see the bandwidth usage with any firmware version.

Blank screen on login

Have wrt54G ver7.
Internet and LAN work fine.
When I go to login to web based utility it accepts login/pass but gives me blank screen on browser.
Tried on two different computers and three browsers.

I was having the same problem with my WRT54GX4. My issue was resolved by updating the driver for my NIC. I had been using the generic WinXP driver and updated to a brand/model specific driver.
Good luck!

WRT54GS Constantly "Reconnecting"

Ver7.2
I've just replaced my old BEFW11S4 (finally died, no complaints: I think a storm surge hit it) with a WRT54GS. No problems with setup. Security is WEP-128 Bit (one of my older wireless NIC's doesn't support WPA). Channel set to 11.
My Problem:
I'm frequently getting messages on my wireless nodes (total of 5 PC's plus an X-Box) that indicate that their various connections were briefly lost and then immediately restored hemselves. This is confusing because my old unit didn't do this, and all my nodes are quite close (20-30 feet and excellent signal strength shown), and I'm in an area that wouldn't have interferance from neighbors. In fact, my laptop does this even when it is 5 feet from the router. Why does it appear that the router is dropping and reinitializing the links? It's brand new, so I wouldn't expect the firmware would need to be updated.
Suggestions appreciated???

If you are getting frequent disconnection on wired & wireless network ... surely it is time to upgrade the firmware ...

WRT54G v7 max. Wifi bandwith only around 10MBit/950KB/s???

Hi there,
I have a small question:
I recently got a WRT54G v7 router; and it actually works fine (no resets etc), except that I am unable to get more than 10Mbit when using the Wifi connection.
This might not sound like a problem to some, but as my Internet connection is 20Mbit, it means the router is useless to me...
I have tried the latest firmware (7.00.1), tried toying with security & encryption settings (on/off), set it to G-mode only, etc etc. Also tried toying around with the settings of my NIC (Intel 2200BG), new drivers, etc.
It simply never goes beyond 950-1000KB/s.
When I use a normal network cable, I do get the 20Mbit.
Can anybody confirm to me if they can get speeds over 10Mbit/1000KB/s using wifi?
Thnx,
-7

I only have 1 wireless NIC to test with.
But I dont get half the speed (so either half of 100MBit or half of 54MBit).
Like I said: when I use my wireless NIC, and I download something from Internet, I get roughly 950KB/s (which is around 10MBit) maximum.
When I use my 'normal' NIC (connected to the Linksys router of course), I do get the maximum speed of my internet connection (so around 2500KB/s, or 20MBit).
So the problem I have is that I WANT to use the Wireless NIC (thats why I bought the Linksys router, so I would have 1 less cable , but I can't use it, cause when I do, I can only use 50% of my Internet bandwith...
Did anybody test and could see if they could get more than 10MBit/1000KB/s with this version (ver7/EU) of the router & a 54MBit wireless NIC?
Thnx...

WRT54GS No Longer Recognized by Windows

My WRT54GS is no longer detectable by Windows. I've tried everything I can think of. Nothing works. The only lights that flash are Ethernet 3, 4, and Internet. They flash randomly. The Power light, WLAN, and Ethernet 1 and 2 no longer light up. I've reset the router several times and still nothing.

ive had the same problem before.
I had reset it, tripple checked all settings. in the end i down powered my broadband modem then into the router,
then on "Administration"
then "Factory defaults"
then ticked box to yes to reset
then onto save settings
after that down powered everything inc PC and then powered everything back up, set up router again and then it worked ok then.

WRT54GS no longer recognized by EasyLink

Well, it's been a hellish two days since I purchased this product. I've always used Linksys in the past, and was surprised, after I had setup the home network using the EasyLink software included with the router and having no difficulty assigning all of my wireless and wired systems correctly, that overnight I had lost connectivity.
Turns out it was worse than I thought - every 30-45 minutes, the router would just stop being recognized by EasyLink. I would open up the program to diagnose the problem, and it would say "different network detected". I would update, reset communications to the router, and all would be good for another 30-45 minutes.
I saw there was a firmware update that was available, I installed it (didn't reset the router), and it was good for about 2 hours before having to update the router again.
This morning, I spent another 30 minutes putzing around with it. I remembered the last step to installing the firmware was a router reset (Which I didn't do before), so I did that, then power cycled the router, reconnected through EasyLink - or so I thought.
Now the wireless lights aren't on (SES light is off and button non-functional as well), and EasyLink won't even recognize the router as a Linksys/Cisco product. The router still recognizes a connection with my PC, but I can't even access the web interface. Awesome. I tore out the hardware in frustration and now I have it in my car.
I am returning it. I do not know if I just got a poor unit or not. Contemplating getting the MIMO Netgear WPN824...
What do you think? Is there any way to salvage the current unit? Should I try the WRT54G instead? Get another WRT54GS and attribute it to user error/bad luck? Or should I abandon what I know and start working with Netgear?
PS: I have printouts I took for the technical specs and info, so if anything is needed to diagnose this, please let me know. I would rather just keep what I bought (not a big fan of returning), but...

WRT54G V7 Left antenna output is not working.

Hi,
I had a new WRT54G V7 and discoverd that the left antenna (facing the front of the device) is giving no output. The right-hand version is working properly.
Now I received a RMA and it is still the same! Already upgraded to v7.00.1, but without success.
I know that I have to use both antennas, but if one of them is giving no output, what is the point?
Anyone the same experience?
Thanks and regards,
Rob.

Hi, before configuring the router I removed both antennas to prevent getting access from or to another device.
After configuration I placed only one antenna, went one floor down to check connection with my laptop and was surprised that the laptop could not find the router.
Took the laptop upstairs, placed it nearby the router and got a connection. Walking away with the laptop showed me that the signal was very poor (lost connection in the next room, seperated by a brickwall).
Then I swapped the antenna to the right-hand connector and saw a very strong signal, also downstrairs. (My previous router, a WRT54G v2.0 did give the same strength on both antennas).
I use the original firmware, so I cannot see or change anything (at least I do not know how) to adapt antenna settings. Or is there a hidden field that I do not know of?

WRT54GS with Mac OS 10.6.8 and RCN cable modem not working

Hello,
I have a Linksys WRT54GS, version 6 with Mac OS X (version 10.6.8) hooked up to a Scientific Atlantic cable modem, with RCN as the ISP.
Recently, RCN had some network issues, and so I had to power down and reset my modem. The modem is working fine now -- no problems at all when the Mac is connected direclty to the modem.
The router's network is OK in that I can connect the Mac wirelessly to the network, but I can't connect to the internet through the router (through neither the wireless or wired connection).
I have downloaded the latest firmware update for the router, following the Linksys site instructions, but this has not helped me solve the problem.
Does anyone have any advice as to what I should do? I did call Linksys tech support on the advice of RCN, and they said that the router does appear to be working (power, WLAN, and Internet lights are on), but they would be charging me nearly the cost of a new router to fix the problem.
Any advice would be appreciated!

Since you upgraded the Router WRT54GS with the latest firmware so once reset the Router and power cycle the whole network… Then connect the Modem with Linksys Router on the Internet Port and then connect any one computer to any one of the Ethernet port on the Router [Numbered – 1, 2, 3 and 4]… Let me know the RCN connection is a DSL connection or cable connection…
So if you have a DSL connection you can refer to this link:
http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&login=1&vw=1&app=search&articleid=4020&userrole=Linksy...
So if you have a Cable Internet Connection you can refer to this link:
http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&vw=1&articleid=3686
As far as the wireless is concern:
# Open up the browser and on the address bar type 192.168.1.1 that will open up the Router setup page…
# Then Click on wireless Tab create the Wireless Network Name SSID and select the channel to 6, 9, and 11… Click Save Settings...
# Then Click on Wireless Security sub tab and select the security mode and provide the password as per the requirement… Click Save Settings...
After doing the settings try to connect the preferred network on the wireless devices and check the connectivity….
