WRT54G2 V1

I just got this router and a WPC54G for my lap top. I had a Linksys BEF5R cable router. I spent a long time working with live help until we lost the connection. The last way We had it hooked up was with the WRT54G network connection tied into one port of the BEF5R. I can get on the network but it keeps trying to fing the IP address. I get a strong signal to the laptop it just won't connect because it keeps looking for the IP address. I think the problem is that the BEF5R gives new IP address to each device but the WPC54G needs the IP address that it was assigned. How can I get the BEF5R to give it the address thaaat the WRT54G wants. or is there a better way to wire this. I am close but not yet.
Thanks for any help

How you have connected this 2 Routers to each other. There are 2 different ways to connect 2 Routers to each other.
1: NAT Behind NAT
2: Cascading.
NAT Behind NAT : As your main router is BEFSR41, You need to connect the Ethernet cable from the Ethernet Port to the WRT54G on the Internet Port. By Default the BEFSR41 Default IP address is : 192.168.1.1... Now connect your Computer to the WRT54G router on any Ethernet port, Login to your WRT54G router using the default IP : 192.168.1.1 and once you login to the Router setup page, change the LAN IP to : 192.168.2.1 and click on Save Settings. Once the Settings are sucessful now unplug the power from the WRT54G, BEFSR41 and your Modem, Wait for 30 seconds, now Plug the Power to Modem first once all the lights are solid, then plug the power to BEFSR41 then plug the Power to WRT54G, now check if you are able to browse Internet on the Computer which is connected to WRT54G.

I'm using a WRT54G2 Router. It's wired to a Motorola Surfboard modem. I can't access the manual config 192.168.1.1 and two other computers that are wireless in the house rely on my access point to be able to use the internet. Problem is I'm getting that good o'l "You are connected to the access point, but the internet cannot be found." I've tried assigning static IP's, power cycling, release/renew in IPCONFIG, I've whispered sweet nothings into my PC's ear...etc...etc...etc... I CAN access the manual config through the one laptop when it's wired to the modem though. Please for the love of everything someone help me!!!!!
Here's what IPCONFIG /ALL says about my computer.

Are you trying to access 192.168.1.1 wirelessly?   If so, stop doing this. Wireless access to 192.168.1.1 often fails. Use a computer that is wired to the router when you want to change router settings.
1) I assume that the "IPCONFIG /ALL" info that you posted was obtained when your computer was wired directly to your modem -- is that correct?
2) When you did the "IPCONFIG /ALL", was your computer wired to the modem with ethernet cable, or USB cable?
3) Your network should be setup like this:
Motorola Surfboard -- WRT54G2 )))     ((( wireless computer(s)
                                    |--- wired computer
Motorola Surfboard ethernet port wired to WRT54G2 Internet port, using ethernet cable.
Wired computer connected to a LAN port on the WRT54G2, using ethernet cable.
Nothing connected to USB port of Motorola Surfboard.
Wireless computers connect directly (and wirelessly) to WRT54G2, not to your wired computer.
Is above the way your system is setup? If not, how is your system setup?
4) Please clarify the problem that you are having. Are you saying that your computer simply cannot access 192.168.1.1 , or that it cannot access the Internet, or that you cannot get any of your computers to access the Internet through the WRT54G2?    Are you trying to connect this computer by wire or wirelessly to the WRT54G2?
5) Can any computer access the Internet through the WRT54G2?

No, I'm trying to acess it through a wired computer. The computer I'm on right now is wired to the access point which is wired to the motorola modem. I can access the login page(as well as the internet) through the computer wired to the router(which, as stated just a few sentences ago, I'm currently using), but when i type in admin for the password it literally kicks me right back into the login screen with both username and password feilds blank. My entire system is setup the way you described that it should be ethernet cable and all. Trust me that was the first thing I checked. The IPCONFIG /ALL is the status of the computer wired to the router. The other two computers in the house (one is a laptop with wireless card and the other is a PC that I bought a wireless card for) cannot access the internet. They used to be able to until recently and I've made no changes to any of the settings.
I also tryed power cycling the system. It granted wireless access to the wireless computers as well as my playstation 3, BUT, I lost internet access on the wired computer. Imagine my frustration. I power cycled again then I was back to square one. No wireless access but access with the wired pc. It's not set to a static IP address either.

D) Have you upgraded the router's firmware?
E) After the firmware upgrade, did you reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch?
F) You said that the "IPCONFIG /ALL" was obtained when you were connected to the WRT54G2 router. But this looks like IPCONFIG data from connection to the Motorola Surfboard modem. Are you sure this IPCONFIG /ALL is from connection to the WRT54G2?
G) Have you been running unsecured wireless?   Or are you using encryption? If you are using unsecured wireless, perhaps your neighbor logged into your router (by accident or intentionally) and changed your login password.
I would suggest that you reset your router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
Please use the following procedure to reset your router:
1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
5) Power down the router.
6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is likely dead. Report back with this problem.
If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt.   Report back with this problem.
If you need additional help, please state the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
Please let me know how things turn out for you.

My apologies for the delay in response, things have been hectic lately. Alrighty, I did all that you said and here are some interesting results, I'll break down the results by each machine that a fiddled with:
Wired Desktop PC:
-I got no response when trying to ping the router
-Could not access the 192.168.1.1 configuration screen, not even the prompt for username and password
-When using the installation disk AND the installation program i downloaded off the Linksys website it would not detect the router.
Wireless Laptop(this is where i think it gets interesting):
-I was able to fully install and automatically configure the router by using the installation disk
-I could ping and get full response from the router both wirelessly and while it was directly wired to the router
-I could also access the configuration menu 192.168.1.1 in my web browser
-I also had a backup copy of the latest firmware for the router on my flash drive, so I updated the firmware through the laptop.
-The laptop was using the router as it's access point, however the internet could not be found.
If I wasn't at a total loss before I tried all this, I certainly am now. Could it be a problem with the network settings on the PC that is wired? Perhaps a faulty ethernet port? Your thoughts?
Well, that's where it left off, I got no responses back from anyone after the last post. Help!!!

As you are able to access your router's web interface you should now try to re-configure it...

My WRT54G2 will Not Work HELP NEEDED !! PLease Help

Hey i Have a WRT54G2 and it has worked Flawlessly for about a Year... One Day i Wake u To No Connection coming From my Linksys ..... on the Wirless Connections Pop up there is a Message saying " Information Sent over this network might be visable to others" I Have Tried Everything and Anything to Figure Out or Fix the Problem But NOthing i Do Works ... I am Really Out of Options ,,,,, Someone PLeaseeeee HElllllp Meeeee !!!!1 Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

In this case try to change the power socket. Try to do 30/30/30 hard reset. The following procedure will clear out the NVRAM and set Router back to default values:
~~ With the unit powered on, press and hold the reset button on back of unit for 30 seconds
~~ Without releasing the reset button, unplug the unit and hold reset for another 30 seconds
~~ Plug the unit back in STILL holding the reset button a final 30 seconds....
Then make the physical connectivity. Here are the steps for the physical connectivity for the router:
The router’s power adapter needs to be plugged to your router and into an available power outlet.
If using a wired connection, the first Ethernet cable needs to be plugged to the computer’s LAN port into any of the router’s blue numbered Ethernet ports.
The second Ethernet cable should be plugged to the modem’s Internet port and the other end into the router’s yellow Internet port.
Ensure that you have no firewall enabled that may prevent the router from being detected.
Then make the manual settings according to the ISP setup. Here is the link for setting up a Linksys router with Cable Internet service:

PLEASE HELP! Hooking up WRT54G2 to a Verizon GT704-WG

I have searched here and google, no luck. Here is what I am trying to do. I have Verizon DSL in a two story house, Verizon only issues and uses one modem/router (Actiontec GT704-WG). I have no houses near me within 1500 feet. It is a wireless router also, just like the Linksys. My main PC is upstairs and runs Vista. My second PC is downstairs, runs XP and has a Linksys WMP110 in it. Wireless signal of no type can go through the ceiling on the first floor, not even cordless phone. Must be insulation of some sort. So, I installed an ethernet port upstairs and ran CAT-5 down the wall and installed the second port. However, my second PC is three rooms away and running CAT-5 to it is impossible. So I bought a Linksys WRT54G2 in hopes to send out the signal for the first floor. I have the main PC upstairs hooked up to the Verizon modem/router at Port#4 and internet functions perfectly. I disabled any security to remove a variable so I can get this going. I hooked up a Ethernet cable to Port#3 and ran it to the wall jack port I installed. I hooked my downstairs PC temporarily at the downstairs wall jack port and hard lined the connection to see if it is good through the wall. Perfect, everything is a go. I took the WRT54G2, upgraded the firmware on it and also disabled security. Hooked up the wall jack to Port#4 on the WRT54G2 in hopes of sending out the signal to my secondary pc to its WMP110. That is how I want my system to work.
I read you need to turn off DHCP on the WRT54G2 and select Router in the setup menu. Did that and saved. I also read change the IP of it to 192.168.2.1, did that and saved. No connection. I hook up the WRT54G2 to my PC to configure it and I cant access the setup menu. Wont let me and I have no other network adapter hooked to my PC. I turn off, hold reset button, and now it will give me the setup screen at 192.168.1.1 . So, doing this numerous times I see that it doesnt like me to change the IP of it. Call verizon, they have me basically hook it up the way I described above and setup the WRT54G2 to clone the Actiontec router, that doesnt work either. Linksys techline has me try to do some PPPoE deal and that is a no go either. I know this has to work, I have seen it done before.
I have any info someone needs to help me setup both of these routers, so I can have the downstairs just repeat the signal. Or whatever suggestion you think is better. I am just frustrated after 5 days of trying myself, verizon tech and linksys tech. All other posts from people never say if they solved it and if they did they dont say how.

Check the IP from the first router and change it accordingly on the WRT54G2
For example:- IP of the first router is 192.168.1.1 then change IP on wrt54g2 192.168.1.2 and disable the DHCP. You may get error for page cannot be displayed or the page might hung up. Just unplug the power from the router and plug it back after a few seconds. Now connect the cable to any LAN port and not internet. You should be able to go online.
Let me know if you need any further assistance.

Problems setting up WRT54G2 router

I'm having problems setting up my Linksys WRT54G2 router. I want my mac laptop (iBook G3 running OSX) to use a wireless connection, and the home computer (running Windows XP) to stay connected to the modem.
I originally tried to set up the router by connecting it via ethernet to my laptop (and by ethernet to the modem), and went into the 192.168.1.1 address to configure it. The internet works fine on my laptop when connected to the wireless by ethernet but it can't connect wirelessly (it has an original airport card fitted, at first I thought I might need to upgrade the firmware but I ran a software update and one didn't come up). I then realised that I would need to MAC clone from the PC, that is connected to the modem? I tried to do this today, but I couldn't access the 192.168.1.1 address from the PC. I have tried resetting the router, and disabling the firewall but still can't access it. This PC also has anti-virus software running too - could this be the problem, or am I setting it up wrong? Thanks.

If you are trying to Setup your Router with the setup disk, Then you can exit from the setup and configure your Router manually. Before you configure your router, you need to Press and hold the reset button for 60 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 60 seconds and re-connect the power cable.....
You need to connect your Modem to Linksys Router on Internet Port and your Computer to Linksys Router on Port No.1.

WRT54G2 and WRT54G locks-up (freezes) when blocking web sites using Access Restrictions

I am convinced that a few Linksys routers such as WRT54G2 and WRT54G have a major issue when blocking web sites using Access Restrictions (Internet Access Policy). After a few hours of internet access by 15 wired users the Linksys locks-up and blocks all internet web access. The only solution is to restart the power on the router.
We are currently using a Linksys WRT54G2 v1 (firmware 1.0.04). We upgraded the WRT54G2 v1 firmware to the latest 1.0.04 version which did not resolve the issue. NOTE: We were previosuly using a a Linksys WRT54G v1.1 (firmware 4.21.1) until the power supply blew a week after we started blocking web sites using Access Restrictions (Internet Access Policy).
Basically, we have a T1 internet connection and a hub connected to the Linksys router. We are trying to block several web sites such as facebook, myspace, etc. for 15 wired users. We do not use wireless connections.
This is the 2nd time it happened with 2 different models.
Please help ASAP.
Thank you,
Lance
(Mod note: Edited post. Some parts off topic.. Thanks!)

Also, you have already upgrade/re-flash the firmware of your Linksys Router you need to reset and reconfigure your router from scratch. Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

WRT54G2 DNS errors when connecting online to PS3... at a loss for ideas...

Im having dns problems ever since PSN went back online and i cannot connect to the internet with my PS3 or log onto PSN. At first i would get dropped as soon i joined an online game, and it was running very slowly, but now it wont connect at all.
Wired works perfectly. Wireless wont work.
If i use automatic setup then the ip address fails.
If i manually set everything then the ip address passes but the internet connection fails and i get a dns error.
Signal strength is 100% and i have a Linksys WRT54G2 router. (worked perfect 2+ years until this week)
I have Roadrunner cable modem.
I did ipconfig/all and enetered all numbers from there and didnt work.
I used standard dns like google and such and those didnt work.
Im seriously at a loss for ideas. Is my router broken? Please can anyone help?

I don't think it's necessarily your router. I've encountered the same problem on my WRT54GC and I used OpenDNS. But it gave me all sorts of problems with different websites so I had to take it out and use manual DNS. I used all sorts of combinations through until I got 4.2.2.2 to work.
EDIT: also, try going in to your router's setup page and click Status. Take note of the DNS values and use those in setting up your PS3.

Wireless internet not working at my house when I use my laptop (using a linksys wrt54g2 router)

I am using a laptop for wireless internet (Dell D610). I have no problem using wireless internet at my school and in other places, but at my house, I can’t browse the internet. The router at my house has a strong signal (4 or 5 bars) and when I try to connect to it, it says that I am connected, but when I open up the internet browser, I can’t get online. The router is in a room right next to mine and it is on the same floor. It is a Linksys WRT54G2 router.
When I go to the network connections folder, for the wireless network connection icon, it says “not connected, firewalled.” I can still browse the internet, though (at places other than my house).
Another thing that I want to mention- I can't connect to other routers in the neighborhood either (the ones that aren't secured). It just doesn't connect (but for the router in my house, it connects). But my roommate told me that a bunch of people have connected to this one guy's router.
What is the problem here? What can I do to make the internet work? Why would I be able to access the school's wireless internet and not the one in my house?

Whats the Wireless Settings you have set on your Router, I there might be the possibility that you have set the security mode on your Router too high thats the reason you are not getting connected to your Wireless Network. Follow the setps to change the Wireless settings on your Router and i think this might help in getting you connected to your wireless network.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...

All of a sudden, can't connect wirelessly to WRT54G2!!

Hi! I have a WRT54G2 router with a desktop wired to it. The desktop is mine and my roommate wirelessly connects with her laptop and has been doing so no problem for about 6 months (ever since we got the router). On Christmas Eve, she was connected, went out, came home and found she'd lost her wireless connection. Now she can't get it back.
**I can still get online on the desktop.**
I've power cycled to no avail. What is weird is sometimes she will click on the list of available networks (so she can choose which she wants to connect to) and mine WILL be there, other times it will NOT. If she does happen to catch it at a moment when my network is there, and she tries to connect using the passphrase, it says "Trying to connect" or something to that effect, for like 3 minutes and then nothing happens. Also, not that I would need to, but if I go to "connect to" on my PC (as if I were looking to choose a network to connect to), my network name doesn't always show. It is random. Sometimes it does not even show when I go to "Networks" on my desktop.
We are going crazy here and I'm sad to say I am not very technical. I can provide more info if need be. My roommate took her laptop to her parents house and can connect to their wireless network, so I know the problem is the router or something to do with it....Can someone please help me?

Thank you so much for writing back! The ssid is currently set to my name. (I named it that when I first got the router...so, it's not currentlly the Linksys example).
As for security, it is already set to WPA2 Personal and for WPA Algorithms, it is set to TKIP+AES. There is already a passphrase in there (The ones that we've been using all along for her to connect wirelessly.. and that has worked until now...she's been able to use it no problem)...
So, everything "appears" to already be the way you advise it needs to. Am I doing something wrong?
Would it help to rename the router and change the passphrase, or does that not matter? What is weird is she seems it sometimes, but no all, and when she does see it, and enters the passphrase (which has worked before) it just doesn't connect.
Here is some additional info as to the way it is set right now
Under "Basic Wireless Settings"
Wireless Configuration- Manual
Wireless Network Mode- Mixed
Wireless Network Name- Tara
Wireless Channel- 6-2.437GHz
Wireless SSID Broadcast -Enable
Wireless Security
Security Mode- WPA2 Personal
WPA Algorithms- TKIP-AES
Then there is my group shared key
Group Key renewal - 3600 seconds
Wireless Mac Filter- Disable
Advanced Wireless settings
(Most here are set to the default)
Under setup of the router, DHCP server is "enabled"
Under firewall,
3 things are checked
Block anonymous internet requests
Filter muliticast
Filter IDENT
Under Access restrictions, it says "status" and it is set to "disable"
Under administration, where it says "Wireless access web" --"enable" is checked
Under status, in regards to firmware, it says this:
Firmware Version: 1.0.00 build 012, Jan. 24, 2008
Any ideas? What baffles me is that is has been working for her to connect wirelessly for months, using the passphrase and everything...and now, without my making any changes or messing with the router at all, this happens.
Any ideas would be appreciated!!

WRT54G2 - can no longer access router webpage after changing setting

hello i've started gaming again so i ended up configuring a static IP using the network and sharing centre in the control panel and i'm online with the fixed IP, and i had some ports forwarded in my router web page and everything has been working great the past 2 days. however, earlier this morning i could not join any games all of a sudden even tho i played 1 when i just got up, so i went to my router home page and changed a setting, i'll link a screen shot, i'm pretty sure i just changed the local IP address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.10 (which is what i set it as 2 days ago in the control panel network tcp ip4 thing) it's possible i modified somethin in the dchp server section but i was nearly convinced that was disabled anyways. http://screenshots.portforward.com/routers/Linksys/WRT54G2/Basic_Setup.htm is the link if it helps
anyways like the thread title says, i can no longer access the router web page which was 192.168.1.1, instead all i see is a sickening image about something called internet information services!? talk about a weird thing to see when i expected to see my router web page. but it's related to microsoft so it's not malacious at least. any ideas on how i fked up so bad and how to fix it, so i can see the router web page again, and edit the settings back to the way it was this morning

I can't access either and c ant get a connection plugging in my laptop I got a new modem and I'm trying to configure my modem to my wrt54g2 and lost
Hi randallel, you may have to do a hard reset before reconfiguring your router with the new modem. To do the proper reset, please press down the reset button for 30 seconds while the power is on. Release the button and unplug the device. Plug it back in and reinstall the settings based on the type of Internet connection that you have. Hope this helps.

Trying to set up printer sharing using WRT54G2

After reading the forum I have not been able to find a solution or very dated answers so sorry if this is already answered...
ConfigurationL
- Cable modem as internet access point
- Cisco WRT54G2 (firmware 1.0.04) behind the cable modem to host my home network
- devices attached:
    - Denon Stereo set (hardwired to WRT)
    - PC running vista SP2 (harwired to WRT)
    - Laptop running windows 7 (wireless)
- Printer attached to the PC
What is working
- I can access my PC from my TV/Stereo in the living room for audio sharing
- I can access the internet from all locations
- Printer sharing on PC is setup correctly. I am able to print when replacing the WRT
What is NOT working
- Connection from my (wireless) laptop to my (wired) PC and v.v. This means no file sharing, no printer sharing no nothing.
Some testing:
- PC: ping to WRT works
- PC: ping to laptop works on IP address and hostname
- laptop: ping to WRT works
- laptop: ping to my DENON (wired) stero set works
- PC: ping to my DENON (wired) stero set works
- laptop: ping to PC fails on IP address and hostname
Since this is basic network functionality I guess I have done something wrong but after looking at all the configuration itmes in the router, reading the forum I am not able to detect my problem.
Rob.

The Workgroup in the wireless laptop and the wired computer should be same and file sharing should be enable on both the computer.The Security firewall should be set to "trust" the network.
Check this link if the computer is Window XP and Check this link if the computer is Window Vista.

HP LaserJet 1102w printer settings on WRT54G2-V1 lost after power is turned off

I have installed the HP drivers for my HP LaserJet 1102w printer on my Windows 7 (64 bit) Professeional and Windows XP laptops.They both print fine over the network using the WRT54G2-V1 router immediately after installing the drivers. However after shutting down either the computers or printer the settings are lost and the printer willl not work unless the drivers are reloaded.
In talking with HP support they are telling me this printer is not compatible with the router, which I find hard to believe given most backward compatibility built into printers today and the fact it initially works before it is shut off. Can anyone offer some suggestions on how to configure my router to support the printer or verify if the information I received from HP support is valid.
Thanks!

The trick is to set the printer's IP Address manually so has a static IP address. See the user manual for the printer (I think this may be the user manual for the OP's printer). If so see page 28 for how to set the IP Address to manual on the printer.
IP address
The product IP address can be set manually, or it can be configured automatically using DHCP, BootP,
or AutoIP.
To change the IP address manually, use the HP Embedded Web Server.
1. Open the HP Embedded Web Server, and then click the Networking tab.
2. In the navigation pane, click the IPv4 Configuration link or the IPv6 Configuration link.
3. In the IP Address Configuration section, click the Manual IP option.
4. Type the required data in the Manual IP Address box, the IP Subnet Mask box, and the Manual
Deault Gateway box.
5. Click the Apply button.
You will need to set the IP address for the printer outside of the range the router's DHCP server has reserved and hands out to clients. For example if the router is configured to use it's default IP address of 192.168.1.100 with 50 client addresses reserved, try setting the printer to 192.168.1.200 and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. If the printer drivers were previously installed and configured they will either need to be removed and reninstalled so they use the new printer IP address, or reconfigured so they point to the new IP address of the printer.

WRT54G2 - The Strangest Problem I have ever encountered

Ok, this will take a bit of explaining but I hope someone will be able to help me out. I've set up lots of networks but never run into anything like this before. I may be including more info than necessary, if so sorry but I am not sure if it is important or not. I have a brand new WRT54G2 router. I set it up and it was working beautifully, except it wasn't quite reaching the other end of the apartment. I am cheap so I looked around craigslist for a range extender. Found a cheap, new Belkin F5D7130. The ad just said range extender. I figured it'd be a universal one and but it wasn't because you have to input the RE's Mac address into the router which linksys ones don't do. I saw a post on another board saying you could get it to work by putting the routers MAC into the REs Bridge page. Did this but the signals were getting confused so I admitted defeat and unplugged the RE.
I thought everything was cool cause my Eee was picking up the normal signal fine and I was busy surfing the internet when my roommate comes and tells me her internet is not working. I quickly check my larger comp and internets not working there either. My big comp is connecting to the network and can access the router page but not the internet.
It has an ip you'd expect 192.168.1.100 with a normal default gateway etc.
My Eee is connecting to the internet fine(it's what I am typing on now) but can't access the router and it is giving me a strange ip 72.253.190.209 with the default gateway 72.253.184.1. Both of these are getting their ip automatically.
This is odd I thought so I did the first thing everyone trys, I did a full reset of the router. I figured back to factory settings and I'll put everything back to normal. After the reset everything is still eff'd up but with the SSID back to linksys.
Eee still has the odd ip and default gateway but is working fine. My other PC is still not connecting to the internet but can access the router fine. I tried plugging the ip info from my Eee manually into my other comp and connecting but got no connection.
The router status page shows nothing for the host name or Domain name while the ip, subnet mask, and default gateway are all reading 0.0.0.0 No DNS's show and the MTU is 1500 Before anyone asks, yes they are connected to the same router, my router.
Frankly I have not a clue what is going on or how to fix it and my roomie is getting angry that I eff'd up the router and now her internet doesn't work. Any help or suggestions someone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
More weirdness right as I was about to post this, my Eee’s internet stopped working and my big comp’s started to. Upon closer inspection they have switched ip’s and all the other info. Everything in the router is still the same. God I have no idea what is going on! Please someone help a girl out
Solved!

Sounds a lot like you have connected your modem to a numbered port of the WRT instead of the internet port. The 72.253.190.209 is a public IP address which you have got from your ISP (in Hawaii if whois information is correct). This means your computer establishes the internet connection directly through your ISP basically bypassing the WRT.
The most likely reason is you did not connect the internet port of the WRT to your modem.
It could be that you have a USB connection to the modem as well through which the computer establishes the internet connection.
If the router has some hardware trouble and it won't boot up properly it is possible to directly connect to the ISP even when wired correctly using the internet port to the modem. But if the other computer without internet still can open http://192.168.1.1/ this is probably not the case.
Some other routers pass PPPoE through the router. This way a computer which is configured to automatically establish an internet connection using PPPoE can connect to your ISP bypassing the router. As many ISPs only allow each customer to have a single internet connection at a time this would block the router from establishing another PPPoE connection. A computer connected to the LAN of the router should never try to establish an internet connection with PPPoE.
If this does not help, please open a command prompt window on the computer which has internet, enter "ipconfig /all" and post the full output of this command on that computer. Next, on the other computer open the web interface of the router, click on the Status page and post the full status information as well.

Port forwarding for SSH not working on WRT54G2

Hi,
I have forwarded a few ports, but can't get port 22 for SSH to work. I can SSH from within LAN, so that works. And I can access FTP from outside the LAN, when I forwarded that port. But to the same computer where I can access FTP I can't access SSH...
Would be grateful for assistance. Btw, I'm using dynamic IP (through DynDNS, but not using the DynDNS tool in the Linksys interface). I've tried with both the dynDNS domain and the IP address. And I have set a fixed IP address on the server I try to access.
Thanks,
Daniel

Make sure that if you are forwarding the port nos for SSH on WRT54G2 you need to forward it for the assinged static ip address & it should work great..just try it once.

WRT54G2 - Port Forwarding is not working properly?

I have a WRT54G2 model #1 with firmware Version 1.0.00 setup as a static IP address connection from my data provider. The router provides service to an Internal IP network of 10.50.6.___. The connection is working properly and I am able to access external IP's from all internal computers. I am attempting to have all inbound traffic on port 9100 forwarded to 10.50.6.49 (a network printer). I set up port forwarding and enabled it according to previous posts in this forum, and I see the inbound traffic in the log, but nothing appears to be getting to the printer. I am able to ping the printer from the router, and print to it from internal PC's. I am fairly new at this process but know enough to be dangerous. How can I tell if the traffic is actually being routed to the printer or is getting lost in the router?
Thank you!

Hey try resetting the router reset button in such a way that power light is blinking on the router & then do a complete network power cycle i.e., unplug the power cables from the modem & from the router & then plug in the power cable to the modem first once all the lights are solid green you could plug in the power cable to the router & check out it will definately work!!

PPTP Not Working on Brand New WRT54G2 w/Newest Firmware

Subject of post says it all. Have a VPN connection that works perfectly through an old Linksys router. When I replaced it this weekend with the WRT54G2, all of a sudden the authentication portion of the VPN connection fails. Yes, I can telnet to the remote port 1723. Yes, I have the PPTP pass thru enabled. Yes, when I replace my new router with my old one, the VPN connection works perfectly.
So now I have a brand new router that I have to use as an access point in order to get to my VPN. What gives???

I did not try changing the MTU size, although I did see another post that talked about something like that. Seems like this should work straight out of the box though - never needed to adjust it on any other similar devices.
Definitely shouldn't need to do any port forwardinng since the traffic is being initiated from my side of the firewall.
I'm also surprised that something like this should be broken with all the experience Linksys has. But they also have a history of having problems with PPTP and this model appears to be very new - the firmware is like 1.0.01. My guess is that this feature didn't get tested properly - the same thing that happened on the original WRT54G. Should have known better than to buy this...
