WRT54G ... wireless not working.

I've had this router for about a year or two now, and have had NO problems at all.. until the other day. My wifes laptop Hp pavilion dv2500 used to connect wirelessly to this router and surf just fine, but now it can not connect at all or when it does it has zero bars of connectivity. At first i thought it was the network card so i uninstalled and re'installed the drivers. No luck. I tried to release my wireless ip address however it would come up 169.XXX.XX.x.x to that effect. Then i remembered that my phone has wifi and i've used my router to connect to the internet, but my phone could not connect either. Neither could the wireless network card on my desktop. The router works fine when connected to with a network cable. Please help me any way you can. Thank you all in advance.

Check first the wireless settings on your router ... also make sure that the wireless switch on the Laptop is turned on ....
if so then changethe network name to any non-linksys name ... & also use any security key ....
Check on the laptop if getting connected or not ....

  • WRT54G wireless not working after upgrading to windows vista, please help

    Hello everyone....
    I have a few problems. I upgraded to Windows Vista and cant seem to get my wireless internet working. My router is WRT54G wireless-g broadband router. Ever since I upgraded Vista my xbox 360 will not connect.
    I just bought a new wireless web camera and that does not work either because the wireless is not working.
    Any suggestions on what I should do to solve this issue?
    I noticed when I goto 192.168.1.1 my firmware version is Firmware Version: v3.03.9 does that have anything to do with it? Is there a more up-to-date version that will help?
    Hope to hear from someone.

    I have the same problem, and so does my son, he has a toshiba satellite new laptop and I have an acer new laptop, both have Vista on them, and my wife has XP and has no problem getting on teh router, but i have this problem everyday.
    Eventually it will all of a sudden show up and connect and start working, then if you laeave your computer in standby movde overnight, it will still work in the morning, but if you shut down comeplety you will lose the connection for who knows how long. what is the fix Linksys?
    (Edited post for guideline compliance. Thanks!)

  • WRT54G Wireless not working - Wired is fine

    You may have seen my last post, where I asked how to set up static IPs within my little network and do a couple other things - thanks for the advice, everything seemed to work great.
    BUT I'm not getting wireless to work.  I don't think this is a product of my changes, as 1) I haven't been using wireless in the past and 2) I tried changing things back and trying (as a control) and still had the same problem.
    Running a WRT54G router, hardwired to three computers (each which also has wireless capabilities).  For freedom from wires, tried switching over to wireless.  I disabled the "wired" adapters to prevent any interference, and turned on the wireless ones (linksys notebook G adapters and a G pci adapter).
    I had the "wired" adapters set up for static IPs within the 10-20 range (192.168.1.10[to 20]).  This worked fine.  I switched my routers IP to something else, still works.  Turn on MAC filtering, and added all six MAC addresses, still good.  Then I tried to configure the wireless adapters for static IP like I did the "wired", and used them and got nothing.  Tried pinging the router from the comps, and the comps from the router - 1005 packet loss.  Went back and set up the adatpers to DHCP (which is still enabled on the router) and still not getting a connection.  Tried no encryption, WEP and WPA2 PSK - not working. 
    My only thought is, I detect like literally 20-25 networks in my area (I live in NYC in a apartment).  I can detect my network's SSID, and signal strength is perfect (it should be, all comptuers are within 30 feet of each other ) but when I try to connect, I get the waiting/status bar for like five minutes and then nothing.  Are there settings I can use to help optimize my network to deal with all the interference?  Are there other troubleshooting things I should try?  My last trip here for advice turned out really well - appreciate your help.

    hi , You can try a few things here...specially since you have so many wireless networks around you.
    bring up network connections, right click on the wireless network connecting and bring up properties...select the wireless networks tab and remove all networks from under "preferred networks".....once done , add your network.You can specify the encryption keys under the association/authentication tab. One more thing,under the preferred networks , you have an advanced button....hit that and select the 2nd option...
    on the router you can try and change the beacon to 50 and reduce the RTS and fragmentation threshold by 40 each...these are found under the advanced wireless settings.

  • WRT54GS - wireless not working

    I am using a wrt54gs and the wired connection works fine.  The wireless however, will not connect.  It has been working fine for over a year.  I recently had to move some things around and unplugged my router and cable modem.  Since then I can not connect wirelessly. Out of about 100 tries it has connected twice.  I have upgraded the firmware, reset the modem and router, changed mtu to 1300 tried channels 1,6, and 11 and several other suggestions found on the site but nothing works.  Note: It has at times connected and issued an invalid ip address and can not connect to the internet

    Change the SSID to some unique name...Under the Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 50,Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...Under the Security tab,Uncheck "Block Anonymous Internet Requests" and click on Save Settings...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...Make sure that you are typing the correct security key...If you are using WEP then,use Key1 as the Network key.

  • WRT54G v6 not working with new Motorola SB6141 on Comcast (IPv4 and IPv6)

    My WRT54G v6 not working with a new Motorola SB6141 Cable Modem on Comcast (IPv4 and IPv6).
    Yesterday, I had my old DOCSIS 1.1 cable modem and the WRT54G had been working just fine for the past 8 years.
    Last night, I swap in the DOCSIS 3.0 SB6141 cable modem, and now the WRT54G keeps losing the internet connection.  When I go into the status page for the WRT54G, I often do not see DNS servers and sometimes do not even see an IP address.
    If I connect a PC directly to the SB6141 cable modem, I have no problems whatsoever.  But whenever I connect through the WRT54G and power cycle both devices, then I have internet connectivity for about an hour before it drops out.  I have noticed my gateway IP address and DNS servers change at that time as well.  I can also force the Linksys to lose connectivity by doing a DHCP release/renew on the Linksys status page.
    Is this behavior because of the dual stack (IPv4 and IPv6) coming through the cable modem from Comcast now?  Is there any way I can keep using my WRT54G v6 now that I have the SB6141 cable modem?  

    You just have to install it correctly.

  • WRT54G Wireless router works on desktop, but not laptop

    I have a WRT54G wireless router with version 1.00.4
    It works on my desktop, I can log into the net no prob
    My laptop however (dell w/ windows xp) does not even recognize it.
    Wierd thing is, it worked perfectly with no problems today, I have been going online with my laptop using the wireles router for weeks now..
    I haven'tupgraded the firmware, or do anything to any of the computers whatsoever.
    When it stopped working, I reset my router/modem, I transfered over my MAC, etc.. but the laptop still does not even recognize my router signal when I try to search for it on my laptop.. It will recognize a handful of other wireless routers from the neighborhood, but not mine.
    My desktop is windows xp, and so is my router.
    Any helpwould be greatly appreciated.

    i had that problem before with the my router and i just did customize the wireless settings. try the the link below, its a great help.

  • Satellite L300 - Wireless not working at all

    Hi everyone,
    Im new here and my name is Jodie. My husband and I bought new laptops a couple of weeks ago, the Satellite L300.
    On my husbands one the wireless just stopped working, the switch is on but no light is on. I've tried FN and F8 is says the wireless is not working. I then checked in the device manager under netwrok adapters to see if it said the same as mine and the Wireless Adapter has vanished? It's the Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Netwrok Adapter.
    Can anyone help? Can't bellieve this has happened and they are only 2 weeks old :(
    Thanks Guys
    Jodie

    >Can't bellieve this has happened and they are only 2 weeks old
    I understand what you mean but if you check this forum and all questions here your problem is not so complicated. You cannot even imagine which problems people have with notebooks. Sometimes I ask myself what people do with notebooks. :)
    Back to your problem: Jodie if there is no way to get WLAN to work I recommend you to use most radical but most effective way to test WLAN functionality install OS again using HDD recovery image. After doing this you will have factory state and all hardware components should be installed properly.
    Enable WLAN using WLAN switch, be sure WLAN is enabled with FN+F8 and scan the area.
    It must work.

  • WRT54GS WIreless not connected, yet connected

    My WRT54GS wireless connections wont go through, as it clearly says, Not Connected, yet my network connections will show that I am connected to the internet and indeed, I can browse the web. My biggest problem with this is that eventually (around 10 minutes or so) it will disconnect from the internet, which is a problem since i play online games. Anyone ever had this happen?

    under the network connections , what all connections do you see....ensure that any other connection except for the wireless network connection is disabled..
    the only medium of connection should be the wireless network connection... check this and let me know if more help need on this issue ...

  • Wireless not working at a hopeless tech person's house

    Wireless doing fine then I tried to connect the new direct tv connect kit. First step was to press my wan button on router till it blinked then press something on the direct tv connect thing. Never got it to talk to each other. But then none of my wireless things worked so I tried a unplug of modem and router and that didnt reset everything so then I hit the reset button and now my little button no longer lights up yellow. The tiny power light is flashing (not holding steady).did I ruin my router?

    Is that a Linksys/Cisco router? What is the model number? Reset again the router for 30 seconds and then unplug/replug the router for 30 seconds also. Observe after that if power light goes solid and if ever it still flash after a minute or two, try to plug the router in a different power outlet. If you get the power solid after the reset, reconfigure the router again for wired and wireless internet.

  • Wireless not working in linux, but works fine in windows vista

    Hello!
    I have installed Unbreakable Enterprise Linux 4 in a dual boot config. with Window Vista on a Compaq Presario laptop. After install completed I found that my on board Broadcom Wireless Adapter (Dell 1390 Mini PC card) was not recognized. I have tried installing NDISwrapper versions 1.48 and later 1.47 (after uninstalling 1.48) because everytime I got to the "modprobe ndiswrapper" received a fatal error about an unknown symbol or parameter, and on install I also encountered a "CONFIG_4KSTACKS" error as well. The good part is the light on my laptop for the wireless adapter finally came on and the driver (bcmwl5.inf) appears to be installed and the wireless adapter identified as being present, but it still doesn't show up in the network manager gui interface. So I am out of ideas if any one can give me a suggestion for a solution I would appreciate it.

    Hi there,,,,,
    I have Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 installed and Intel wifi 5100 card installed on my laptop. Wireless card does not work in Linux it works fine with Vista, I have dual boot. I have downloaded and installed the microcode for the wireless card for Linux,,,it is now active but it does not take ip address from dhcp and nor does it connect when i supply manual ip. it does not even scan for any wireless network. I have WEP enabled on my wireless network. It just says disconnected.....
    Please help me.....i have been trying to get this thing work for 3 weeks.

  • HP Laserjet Pro 1102w Wireless (Not working on MacBook Air 10.10)

    HP Laserjet Pro 1102w Wireless is not working on my MacBook Air Yosemite (v10.10).

    All I get under printers is the USB kind and NOT the Wireless/Bonjour kind.
    Can anyone help me out?
    Thanks.  

    Hi @Random_Pelican ,
    I see that you are having issues setting up the printer on 10.10. I would like to help you out today.
    If the printer has a valid IPv4 address and you still can't add the printer as a Bonjour printer, most likely Multicasting is turned off on the router, since your not able to add the printer as a bonjour device and the other devices won't recognize the printer. Just call the router company and have them turn it on.
    If the printer doesn't have a valid IPv4 address please try these steps:
    Reset the printer first to clear out any previous network settings.
    Turn the printer off, hold down the wireless button and cancel (x button) while turning the printer back on and don't release the two buttons until the printer stops making noise.
    Print out a configuration report and make sure the SSID and IP address are cleared.
    Printing a Configuration Page.
    Make sure Safari is set as the default browser. Sometime the Embedded Web Server won't open if it isn't.
    Open Safari, across the top select the Safari menu, select Preferences, General, set as default.
    I will provide the steps for 10.9, which should work the same for 10.10.

    Here is a Youtube video of the Laserjet P1102w wireless installation on Maverick.
    Laserjet P1102w.
    You may follow the steps instead of watching the video.
    You have to connect the USB cable from the printer to the computer to install the printer as a USB device first and then configure the wireless network.
    Turn the printer on, connect the USB cable and install the Apple Update that should automatically load.
    Then go to the Apple, System Preferences, Printers and Scanners.
    Highlight the Laserjet on the left side of the window.
    Then click on Open Print Queue, click on Settings, click on Utility, click on Open Printer Utility, then click on the HTML Config button.
    The Embedded Web Server for the printer will open.
    Click on the Networking tab, select Wireless on the left side.
    Fill out this information for your network. Status make sure you select Enabled.
    Apply the settings.
    Then go back to Apple, System Preferences, Printers and Scanners and click the + sign to add the Laserjet bonjour printer. (might take a couple of minutes to appear) Make sure the printer listed beside use: shows the proper printer name and not the default driver, then click on the add button.
    Delete the USB printer from the list from the Printers and Scanners window.
    Disconnect the USB cable.
    Test the printer.
    Let me know how you make out.
    Have a great day!

  • [Solved For Now] Wireless Not Working on HP Pavillion 15-n278sa

    EDIT: I seem to have fixed it for now by following this tutorial, I don't know how long it will last though: http://askubuntu.com/questions/337785/w … -c55-a5281
    Hi there guys,
    I have been having some problems with my Wireless under arch on my lapotop, which is a HP Pavillion 15-n278sa. I've had the wireless working twice before, but a reboot broke it both times. The Ethernet works perfectly fine. The first time I have no idea how I got it to work, it was a combination of a bunch of different threads and eventually I modprobed the wireless adapter and it worked (this no longer works).
    This is the output of when I try to connect to the wireless using wifi-menu:

    So I run systemctl status [email protected] and journalctl -xn and this is the output of the both respectively:

    03:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller [10ec:8136] (rev 07)
    This one being the wireless controller:
    02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188EE Wireless Network Adapter [10ec:8179] (rev 01)
    If there is anything more I can provide I would happily do it, I really need the wireless to work under this laptop. I know it works, I have had it working under Arch and it works under Ubuntu no problem. I am not sure if it is a driver problem, or if it's a problem with netctl. It looks more like a problem with netctl as after netctl updated it started working, and after a reboot it broke again.
    Thanks so very much everyone,

  • Wireless not working after suspend (madwifi)

    Hi there
    I successfully converted from Vista to Archlinux! Everything's working fine (yep, I'm a bit proud as this my second try at linux ) except that after I suspend with powersave my wlan is not working anymore. I've also tried to unload the ath_pci module and restart the network in /etc/powersave/sleep but that doesn't seem to work.
    I guess it has something to do with the network deamon because when I try to restart my network manually it says that dhcpcd is already running for ath0... Oh, and also the iwconfig for ath0 seems to be perfectly correct after suspend...
    Here's the network part of my rc.conf:
    lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
    eth0="dhcp"
    ath0="dhcp"
    wlan_ath0="ath0 essid FeelGood key s:******"
    WLAN_INTERFACES=(ath0)
    INTERFACES=(lo !eth0 ath0)
    Any ideas? Help would be appreciated

    Well, maybe you already know this, but: ath_pci (the madwifi driver) is among blacklisted modules (/etc/hibernate/blacklisted-modules), so it gets unloaded during the suspend process. That screws up whatever wireless connection you might have had before suspending. Now if you have the option LoadModules auto in /etc/hibernate/common.conf, it should get loaded after resuming - but that of course doesn't renew the connection. So that I do is I have a short script that calls /etc/rc.d/network restart, and I run it manually after suspending to renew the connections.
    BTW, I have this in /etc/hibernate/common.conf:
    UnloadBlacklistedModules yes
    LoadModules auto
    EDIT: Eh, B managed to post before I finished writing this :)
