WRT54G Version 3.1 Connection Issues - Help Please

Good Morning,
We have a WRT54G Version 3.1. Our existing network is wired and functions fine, I am adding the WRT54G for a few wireless clients.
During testing I have connected the wireless to my computer via CAT5 cable to port 1. I have connected another CAT5 cable to the internet port of the router from a known good wall jack.
When I first open the default address 192.168.1.1 and enter the password, all seems well. Due to having servers that hand out IP addresses, I disable the routers DHCP capability.
I enter the following information for example:
Local IP: 81.0.0.90
Gateway: 81.0.0.1
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
DHCP disabled
etc.
After changing the the local IP and receiving a confirmation that my changes were saved and I will be going back to the previous page, the page won't display with the address changed to 81.0.0.90 and it is blank.
I release my IP address through cmd, clear my dns cache and reboot the computer. After restart, I am presented with the stock MS address of 169.254.X.X.
I cannot connect to the local IP I established at 81.0.0.90 and nothing appears to work. The only thing I can do is reset the router and start from scratch...again.
Any ideas on what keeps happening and how it can be resolved once and for all?
Thanks in advance

even if you have two DHCP enabled on both routers in your network, you will not get an IP adress conflict (exception of course if you're cascading two wireless routers).
a LAN port (ethernet router) to WAN port (wireless router) connection can be established allowing you to have both DHCP server enabled on your routers.
by doing the LAN to WAN connection, you will have two networks in a network.. both network won't meet cuz they will have different IP adress... router 1: could be 81.0.0.90, then router 2 could be 81.0.0.91.
if you want your two routers to meet and be in the network together, you just need to follow QUAK's suggestion to assign a static IP adress on your PC. or better yet, you can just connect the router you're disabling the DHCP server with to it's LAN port from a LAN port as well of your DHCP server (router 1). this is a LAN to LAN connection... by doing that, you will be able to open up the interface of your router 2(DHCP disabled) since your PC connected to it will get an IP adress...

    Hello.I wanted to upgrade my iPad 1 to iOS 5.1 Over the Air.I was running iOS 5.0.1.It said it had an error connecting to server.It is already 5 hours i cant install this update.I also have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0.1 with the same issues.Help please!

    You're probably running into the servers simply being swamped. Thousands of people are all going for the software update at the same time. Give it a try again and if that doesn't work, then try plugging it into your computer and trying it that way.
    I didn't get a notion of the size, it doesn't seem to be as big as the 700 meg 5.0 update, but it did take me 20+ minutes to download via cable internet so it's a large file. That in and of itself takes a while.
    If you're trying to download it directly to your iPhone, you'll need to be on wifi since I'm sure it's well over the 20 meg file size limit for 3G.

  • N8 wlan and hard reset issues, help please

    Have a nokia N8, after installing Connectivity analyser beta from beta labs, my wifi reception has become very poor. i ave a wireless N router and before this date the signal was very strong. my friend has an N8 also, he tested the rooms i was having signal issues to see if the router was the problem, however he had excellent signal, leading me to think it was my phone. i uninstalled the app and he weak signal remained, i did a factory reset and the problem remeained, i did a hard reset and the problem is still there, I now have the added problem of no Ovi Suite and other Qt related app issues. Help please, this is really annoying. btw this is my second N8, really getting annoyed at Nokia now. any further specs, please ask

    As synth_fg rightly points out it takes quite a bit of tinkering to recover from "hard reset" on N8. To give you an idea what would be involved:-
    Download from Ovi Store website the sis installer of WordPress and install it on phone (wordpress install also Nokia Smart Install and all QT and PIPS components)
    Launch Ovi Store on phone: which will download the .sis installer and should work without any error
    Reinstall Social_1_2_update.sisx from here: http://nmota.messaging.nokia.com/clients/Social_1_​2_update.sisx
    At this point you are still without OVI Maps but you can install v3.06 pre-release from Nokia Beta Labs: http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/ovi-maps-306 which will allow you to pinch to zoom on your N8

    Connected to Talk Talk wi-fi with full signal but not connecting to internet, then my connection to wi-fi goes and I try to connect again which it does but still can't load to internet, help please

    Some things to try first:

    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Speed connections Issues Help?

    Hi,
    New to the forum and looking to receive any help with my problem.
    Background Info:
    I was on sky broadband and receiving a steady 4mbs D/L (Up to MB +Unlimited Broadband) at £12 per month.
    A BT Representative cold called me and persuaded me to switch the broadband to BT (Already have the Phone with BT).
    I was informed that i would get at least MB d/l and up to MB - so signed for the option 1.
    Then I realized that my household is a heavy user,so changed the package to option 3 (Unlimited Broadband Usage)
    costing me an instant £21.80 bill for adjustments.Fair enough.
    The Problem:
    After the 10 day period I am only getting 2.MB D/l at best.
    I have been on the phone with BTU+their team of specialists and have still not resolved the issues as of yet.
    I have to call back on Saturday after leaving the router on for a further 48 hours without powering down.
    So Basically:
    Paying twice as much for only half of what i was getting with sky?
    If I could cancel the lot and switch back to sky .I would!
    Rant Over (for now)
    Thanks
    Paul

    welcome to the forum
    in order for the forum members to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems) http://speedtester.bt.com or http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9354/c/346,4740,5520 and post the results .
    are you connected directly to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Do you have any phone extension sockets in your home?
    Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
    Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

    Hi Sherry-
    Thanks for the info - Just a brief history on my problem.
    I was trying to open an application on the mac and it froze - nothing would work. I powered down at the surge protector. restarted to have the mac hang on the grey screen with the apple. Let it sit for 15 min with nothing. Called and apple dealer near us and was told to reinstall the OS. I had to do an archive & install. I think I had 10.3.9 but the system cds were 10.3.1 or something like that. So reinstalled and you know where I am. SO, should I still restore the netinfo data base? Will this effect my network with others. I back up my HD to another mac at night and vicea versa.
    Thoughts.....
    Thanks for your help!

  • Connection issue help

    I have intermittent connection issues.  I have been calling and calling.....  We did finally get someone who spoke English.  A "technician" came to the house and found nothing wrong with the connections, other than to tell me that in our apartment we have copper wiring and that there is nothing that they can do.  Although, my neighbor, who has Charter, has never had an issue.
    I overlooked the fact that the "technician" that I'm paying the service for, only glanced at my computer and told me that there was nothing wrong.  Now I still left with a connection that constantly drops, is still an issue.
    I called again, only to reach someone I can barely understand, who tells me to disconnect the connection that goes from the modem to the computer and switch them.  Uhm, okay.  Just for fun, i switched the cords (spun em around) .   I asked what purpose this would serve as I'm using the same cable?  Obviously, this did not change anything.
    I have called several times and am left on hold.
    I called once again to inquire why my Verizon in Home Agent would not connect to the internet. Although, I did have internet service.  The agent  said that the In Home Agent would come on only if I had a connection issue...This makes absolutely no sense.
    Lastly, after being so frustrated, I managed to spill a drink (fortunately, I had not yet reached for the bottle of liquor).  This brings us to a new dilemma, the computer now does not turn on. (using the laptop)... I have the insurance for a replacement/repair of my computer.  I again called Verizon, no one has heard of this service, but yet I pay a monthly fee.  "It's not something they handle" but they are willing to TRANSFER me AGAIN.
    {edited for privacy}

    This is DSL-101 - but make sure your phone cord is no longer than 12 feet long ... and not one of those cheap "ribbon" phones cords. It's not the ability of the signal to reach the modem - rather the ability of your modem to transmit through the length of the phone cord. (You would be amazed how many people how 50' phones cords going to their modems). The shorter the phone cord, the better. 

  • Connection issue! Please help ASAP.

    So I have a macbook pro running OSX Lion and I also have a Sony running windows 7. I connected my bold 9900 running 7.0 before to my windows laptop to update it to 7.1. After it updated successfully, I was able to use it on my Mac and PC and whatever. Now, 2 days later, My Mac doesn't recognize it! All I get it power supply to charge the blackberry or USB mode which the blackberry desktop software doesn't detect. My SONY does detect it though somehow and works fine with desktop manager. I have tried everything rebooting all devices, trying a different USB port and different wire etc but nothing helped! I really need it to connect to my macbook again! Any ideas? PLEASE AND THANK YOU!

    The set-up you are trying will not work if you are trying to communicate your remote router wirelessly to the WRT54G router...It is indeed possible if you can connect your remote router using an ethernet cable to the WRT54G router...
