WRT54G Wireless Router Will Not Assign a Network Address

A Linksys WRT54G router will not assign a network address when I access the router using a Linksys WPC600N wireless card. I have the same problem accessing the router with a TRENDnet TEW-621PC wireless adapter. Both wireless adapters are assigned network addresses when I use other wireless routers. Also, I have no problems being assigned a network address when I access the WRT54G router in question using an old 2WIRE 802.11b wireless card.
I have tried "Repairing" the connection, I have used ipconfig to "release" and "renew" the connection. However, each attempt fails to have a DHCP address assigned.
I am a visitor at the work location with the connection problem, the router works for others without any issues.
Thanks

Well in such case .... you can try few settings on the wireless adapter ....
If you are using WLAN monitor .....
Click start >> All programs >> Linksys wireless monitor >> Click on "Profile" >> Delete all profiles >> Click "New" >> Type in the wireless network name >> Click next >> Configure the rest of the wireless settings same as in the router ...
At last point it shows .... all the configuration settings ...reconfirm that >> Click on connect ot a network & reboot the computer ...
After reboot see if it shows connected or not....
You can also use Static Ip in the configuration ....

Thinkpad 430u Windows 7 - Public Network - Wireless router is not assigning IP address

Hello,
My computer knowledge is limited, but I have a chronic issue when attempting to connect to public wireless networks, ie a coffee shop:
When I attempt to connect, the laptop identifies the public network as an Unidentified Network and although it "connects" it says No Internet Access. Normally, when I connect, I would be prompted to selected Home, Work, Public and this does NOT happen. In the Network and Sharing Center, under the heading "View your active Networks" it says Unidentified Netowork, Public Network; Access type: No Internet Access, Connections: Wireless Network Connection (name of network). The words "Public Network" is NOT a hyperlink and cannot be clicked on.
When I run run cmd and check ipconfig I find that the wireless router is not assigning an ip address to my laptop. i then input ipconfig/releasei, and ipconfig/renew. I then receive and error saying "An error occurred while renewing interface Wireless Network Connection: The operation was canceled by the user."
I have turned off my firewall.
My smart phone can connect the the internet with no problem and the other laptop users have no problem either. This indicates there is no problem with the wirless router itself, but is some kind of setting or something that needs to be adjusted on my end.
Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address: 169.254.86.100
Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
Default gateway: n/a
Please, any help is appreciate. This is a chronic problem any time I link to public networks.
P.S. I have no problem connecting to the internet in my own home
Thank you!!

Sorry, forgot to include: it's a 2Wire 2701hg-b Residential Gateway. I'm unsure how old the model itself is--it was just given to us by AT&T (it's the model they use for their U-verse service). I checked today and the firmware is up-to-date.
Thanks.

WRT54G Wireless Router -- Do not have setup disk, what do I do?

I just moved into a new apartment and my father had an extra wireless router lying around but misplaced the setup disk. The only time I have ever set up a home network it has been with the use of an automated setup wizard. Is there any way I can download this software, or someone can give me step by step instructions on how to get this thing up and going?
Any help would be much appreciated!!!

You do not need the setup CD to install your router, you can configure it manually...

Time capsule wireless router will not work

I have a Time Capsule that I use as a wireless router in my condo. Our internet company was recently purchased by another company, and after the transition, I am not able to connect to internet wirelessly. My condo is wired with active ethernet ports. If I plug the ethernet cable directly into my computer, I am able to log in to the ISP's main page and connect to the internet without any problems. However, if I plug my ethernet cable into the Time Capsule as I did before, I cannot connect. Before the company bought the old company, I didn't have any issues. I've called their Tech Support 3 different times about this and they tell me they don't provide support for my wireless routers because there are so many different types. They suggested resetting the router password, but I'm not completely sure how to do that. Is that different than my airport password?
I should also note, that if I pull up System Preferences and to the "assist me" feature under the Network option, it tells me that I'm connected.
Any help you can provide would be fantastic! I'm at my wits end with this issue, as I connect a number of devices to my Time Capsule wirelessly.
Regards,
Jake

I have a 2TB Timecapsule and really only use it for Time Machine backups. But the Wi-Fi side is used to sync my iPad at times.
Mine is wiredup thus;
Eth cable from iMac to modem (not the WAN port should you have one), then eth cable from modem to T/Cap in the WAN port (bottom port with an O sign above it)
I believe when its connected up you may have to set up a wireless network. Follow the instructions to set up Wi-Fi and Network
and then give it a password. The WiFi icon should appear in the menu bar where you can switch it on or off.
Its been sometime since I set it with the help of Apple Techs so I might be a bit rusty.

When I start Internet Sharing /etc/bootpd.plist is not created and the other device is not assigned an IP address.

Just like the tite says. I am investigating why my Macbook Pro (3,1) running Mountain Lion will not assign an IP address to a computer connected via Ethernet when Internet Sharing is turned on (laptop receiving WiFi connection, supposed to be sharing connection over ethernet). I tested using a relatives macbook and it worked just fine. It turns out my laptop is not creating the file: /etc/bootpd.plist when Internet Sharing is turned on.
I have a console log here from when I start internet sharing:
8/11/12 12:01:13.634 PM

Solved it, at least temporarily:
Investigate process binding port 67 with the following command:
sudo lsof -i 67
Close the offending process (in this case: bootps):
sudo /bin/launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/bootps.plist
Start internet sharing again from the system preferences panel

WRT54G - Desktop connects, wireless connections will not

I have a WRT54G router and until a few days ago it worked fine. My desktop connects to the internet, however the two wireless computers will not. I am also unable to connect to router via 192.168.1.1 on the desktop. Both wireless computer show a strong signal but do not connect to the internet. I checked the ip adress on one of the wireless computers and for some reason, it has aquired the router address (192.168.1.1). How can I fix this? I tired ipconfig/release and renew but it keeps using the same address.
Thank you in advance

As you mentioned in the post .... under wireless connection it show Ip 192.168.1.1 .... click start >> control panel >> network conection >> Wireless network connection properties ...
Go to Internet protocol TCP/IP .... check that is it showing Ip settingsunder Manul/Static or DHCP ....
If Manual then change it to Automatic Configuration DHCP .... click OK ...reboot the computer. ... Try to connect to new network ....
See if you are going online ....

WRT54G ver.4 will not connect to some wireless adaptors

My WRT54G v4 has the latest firmware. It connects to several wireless laptops just fine, including macintoshs.
However our Xbox360 wireless adaptor does not connect, and neither does one Dell laptop we have.
We have already made sure we have the right WEP key entered etc., we basically cloned the settings from the laptops that do work. We have DHCP enabled.
What happens is the Xbox360 sees the network, connects fine, but is not assigned an IP address and so cannot access the internet or LAN.
Any help would be appreciated.

Horsey!
Set the wireless mode of router to mixed.
The Dell laptop has it's own utility, use that coz that would be much easier to connect wirelessly.
For the XBOX, is it set to obtain an ip address & dns servers?? If so, assign an IP on your XBOX that is just in range of the router. [i.e. 192.168.1.10] By the way, IP that you're going to assign should be below 50.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless Networking with LINKSYS WRT54GS wireless router

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless printer conneted via WiFi to my LYNKSYS WRT54GS wireless router. I do not have a USB cable or ethernet cable plugged to the printer. I am able to use the 'scan to email button' and the 'scan to network folder' button on the front of the printer and I can pint from the PC to the printer with no problems.
I installed the HP printer software from the CD, choosing network/wireless connection, without having to install any USB cables from the PC to the printer in the process. many posts in the forum mention having to connect USB cables in the wireless installation process.
Can I install the software in the same fashion on the other two laptops? Or, do I need to do something differently?

The USB cable is used on those printers which do not have display or front panel wireless setup is not possible. We configure the wireless settings during install and save those settings in printer's memory by transferring through USB cable. Therefore the USB is plugged in during wireless installation temporarily. In your case I don't think plugging in USB cable is necessary as the printer is already on network and had IP address. Connect the laptops on wireless network and proceed with regular install, the printer should be detected automatically.

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.

Playstation 3 Wireless Network Enable Crashes WRT54G Wireless Router

I am trying to set up my wireless connection on my Playstation 3 via my WRT54G wireless router. Whenever I start at the beginning and select Enable for Wireless Connection, the wired end of my router which is attached to my cable modem crashes. My host wired PC loses it internet connection. As I proceed with my Playstation 3 Wireless Network setup, the PS3 can still wirelessly see my router. I do an automatic configuration, but the router is unable to assign a TCP/IP address to the PS3. My main problem is that the PS#crashes my router the moment I even enable the wireless connection. Any ideas?

I don’t think of anything else that a Firmware on this router. Download the latest firmware for this from http://www.linksys.com/download and Upgrade that to your router. Reset and reconfigure it, reduce the MTU to 1365, assign a static IP on PS3 and forward the ports needed by PS3 for this IP address. Now you should able to connect to this router wirelessly.

New WRT54G wireless router. Who's the genius that can help me?

I just purchased a WRT54G wireless router. The main reason is my son wanted to be able to use his Sony PSP online. I also have two desktop computers that will be wired thru this router. My question's are. If he is using his PSP online and the desktops are wired, can the desktops be "hacked" if they are on/off? If the router is turned off then the wireless is not working? If I access the router and disable the SSID Broadcast then the wireless portion of the network is off? What are the safest security settings to protect my network?
Thanks.

Dead Mans Zone.... I guess.
Using the DMZ is a very simple and risky way to forward ports. The DMZ takes an ip address of a computer on your network, and forwards all ports to that computer. This is really nice if you are having problems forwarding ports for some program. It can be a life saver if your router will not allow you to properly forward ports. It also has a huge downfall. The computer that is in the DMZ is now wide open to internet traffic. Meaning that it will catch virii, and it will be at risk of being hacked. If you put a computer into the DMZ then please install a software firewall to help protect it
Orange/White. The Cisco logo is the Router’s SecureEasySetup button. It lights up and will stay orange when the Router is powered on. The color orange indicates that the Router is not using the SecureEasySetup feature, while the color white indicates that the Router is using the SecureEasySetup feature. When the Router enters SecureEasySetup mode, the Cisco logo will turn white and start flashing. After the Router has generated the SSID and WPA-PSK (also called WPA-Personal) key, the Cisco logo will stop flashing and stay white.

Does the Xbox 360 wireless adapter even work with the WRT54G wireless router?!!? If so, how???

I just bought a WRT54G wireless router (Ver 8.0; firmware updated to latest). I have successfully connected my wireless laptop using WEP security, but I'm at wits end trying to get the Xbox 360 wireless adapter to work. (It worked just fine with my Netgear router until that router recently died.)
When I do the "Test Media Connection" routine (you XBox 360 users know what I'm referring to), the Xbox immediately recognizes the Network Adapter and indicates that it is connected to the Wireless Network, but it inevitably fails the next step in the process: IP Address. I have the set-up for the IP address to be assigned automatically by the router (which is set for DHCP Server enabled).
I have gone around the mountain innumerable times myself and then with well-meaning friends who say try this, try that, try this, try that. I've had to re-establish my laptop set-up so many times I wanna scream!
Are the Xbox 360 wireless adapter and the WRT54G even compatible? If so, what am I missing here? I'm not too technical and obviously in over my head, but this ought not be that hard.
Please, please do NOT respond unless you KNOW the answer! I don't mean to be curt, but I'm over / past "suggestions to try."
Thank you VERY much for your time and consideration if you can help me.

I don't think that the X-BOX adapter is not compatible to wireless rotuer .... there are few settings you can try on the router ... Access router setup page ... Please click on the tab "Application and gaming" and click on sub tab "Port range forwarding" 1) On the first line in Application box type in "Xbox", in start box type in 88, in end box type in 88, in protocol keep it both, in ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and give a check mark on enable box. 2) On the second line in Application box type in "Xbox", in start box type in 3074, in end box type in 3074, in protocol keep it both, in ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and give a check mark on enable box. 3) Now save the settings 4) Once you return to the setup page, click on the tab "Administration" and disable the UPNP and save the settings. 5) Now assign the given ip address on your xbox ip address :- 192.168.1.20 subnet mask :- 255.255.255.0 default gateway :- 192.168.1.1 Please assign the dns address on the xbox primary dns :- 4.2.2.2 secondary dns :- 192.168.1.1 6) Please try to test your xbox live. Hope it works ...
