WRT54GL

Hi!
Im having trouble setting up my 2 WAP54G together with my old Zyxel router.
And my WAP54Gs will only communicate with another Linksys devices, right?
So i thought id try buying a new router of the same make as the APs to get rid of possible compability problems.
Im thinking of buying this one, WRT54GL :
Linksys Wireless-G router 54 Mbps 802.11g, WPA, QoS, 4P switch, Linux
Will this one play nicely with my WAP54Gs set in any mode? firmware 3.05. (dec 2005)
Wich one do you recommend, the price difference is marginal.
Linksys WRT54GL
Linksys WRT54GS
Linksys WRT54G
thanks

I am not sure about the prices .... but to work with the access point ... i will suggest you to go for WRT54GS ....

Use WRP400 (VoIP Router) for Voice only, and the rest with WRT54GL

Hey there, I hope you are doing great!
The reason of this thread is because I recently moved to a cable ISP and unfortunately had to also change routers in order to take advantage of the VoIP feature (analog phone) they provided me with.
Now, the new router, the WRP400, is very limited feature-wise compared to the custom flashed WRT54GL I used to use with my DSL provider.
Now the WRT54GL does not have any FXS ports, so I obviously can't just plug my cable modem to the WRT54GL. Therefore, I was hoping to achieve a setup similar to this one:
Cable modem => VoIP Router w/ voice only (WRP400) => "Main" router (WRT54GL w/ Tomato)
Is there a way to bridge the WRP400 successfully with the WRT54GL keeping only the voice feature enabled on the VoIP router while the WRT54GL takes care of the rest? (Wireless, WAN, port forwarding, etc)
Thank you very much for your help, and have an awesome day!
Lev

I am going to provide a few snapshots of the config pages as to make this easier:
Basic setup page
Advanced Settings
Administration Page
Once more, thank you very much for the assistance!

VPN in a local network connected to another free network (wrt54gl)

Hi,
The schem is the next: I want to connect my laptop to my house local network throught VPN, in my house I have another router that will be connected in a free network throught an antenna.
I would be interested in mount a VPN and see the free network and navigate throught it, I have a linksys wrt54gl with no usage now. ¿How can I do this? ¿How?
PD. Nowdays i don't have the anntena connected to the free network, but I projected it for connecting in few weeks.

Thanks!

This forum site is totally dedicated for Linksys devices not using 3rd party firmware Like Tomato and DDWRT. So it would be better if you post your query in on this other site. http://www.linksysinfo.org/index.php?forums/tomato-firmware.33/

Added WRT54GL to Roadrunner, no internet, I've tried everything!

I installed my Linksys wireless router to my Roadrunner connection so I can get all of my 3 computers online. I can hook one computer directly to the modem and of course it can get online, but I get nothing with the router added into the mix. I've searched here and on other forums for at least a week trying to get this to work, but no luck. I know this topic gets brought up A LOT so I apologize, but I promise I've searched before making a new thread and none of the solutions are working.
Quick overview:
WRT54GL wireless router (Tomato 1.21 firmware)
Motorola SURFboard SB5101 modem
- Modem -> router WAN port
- router WAN port set to DHCP
- MTU set to 1500
- Router IP 192.168.1.1 (default)
- Modem IP 192.168.100.1 (default)
- LAN set for DHCP (range 192.168.1.100-253 *255.255.255.0)
- router Ethernet port 1 -> Host (only 1 comp connected at the moment)
- Computer set to DHCP
- Cloned computer's MAC address to WAN
As long as I power up the modem first and then the router, the WAN will connect just like it should using the IP/Subnet/DNS/etc supplied by the modem. The weirdest part is that I can bring up the console for both the router and the modem, and I can also ping the modem... so everything appears to be set up properly on my end, but for whatever reason I simply can't get outside of the modem to the internet. In fact when I try to go to a website like google.com for example the browser says "Waiting for google.com..." You'd think that if there really was a problem getting to the internet it would say "Looking up google.com", but maybe not, whatever. I know for sure that I don't have any software/settings on my PC messing things up.
Here's the basic steps I used to set everything up:
1. Connect modem to WAN port and computer to Ethernet port 1
2. Set router WAN port to DHCP, Save
3. Manually set WAN's MTU to 1500, Save
4. Clone PC's MAC address to WAN, Save
5. Set LAN ports to DHCP, Save
6. Power down modem, router, and PC... let sit for a few minutes.
7. Power up modem, wait until completely done
8. Power up router, wait until completely done
9. Power up PC, enable LAN connection
At this point the WAN settings in the router's console show the proper MAC, IP, subnet, gateway, DNS's, and MTU. As I said before, I can successfully ping the modem and bring up the modem's console so there's obviously no problem communicating to the modem...it just won't let me out on the internet!
Think it has something to do with the LAN's subnet being 255.255.255.0 and the WAN/modem being 255.255.252.0? Do they both need to use the same subnet mask or does it even matter? Do the first 3 octets of all the IP's on the network need to be the same with just the last octet being unique?
Aside from that stuff I'm all out of ideas... I got this exact setup working with my previous cable ISP (non-Roadrunner/Time Warner) with almost no configuration at all and I'm seriously about to go to another ISP if I cant get this to work.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks folks.
(and also thanks for reading this rather long post )

Lots of stuff here... not sure what this "tunnel adapter" stuff is, the one to look for is Marvell
Additionally, the reason I cloned the MAC address and manually set the MTU is because I read in several how-to's about connecting Linksys WRT54xxx routers to roadrunner that those steps were necessary. I have tried the process without doing both of those things, but it doesn't change anything.

Router WRT54GL with Windows Vista

Greetings,
We just bought two Dell E520 computers that will come pre loaded with Windows Vista OS. I also have a WRT54GL router still fresh in the box and un opened.
When we receive our new computers we want to use our new WRT54GL router with the two new desktops hard wired into the WRT54GL router.
Will the CD that came with this new router be able to run on Windows Vista?
If the CD will not run on Windows how should I go about setting up my two new computers to use the router?
I want to use these two new Dell E520 computers hard wired in to the new WRT54GL.
I have two laptops that are wireless capabel. I would like to use these two laptop computers in their wireless mode.
How do I go about setting up the new Dells that will be hard wired in to the WRT54GL modem if I cannot run the CD First on Window Vista as the instructions says that I should run the CD first before I plug in the two new Dell desktops into the router.
I hope these comments are clear and understandable. Please ask for more information if needed.
Thanks in advance for your help and understanding.
Leigh

Thanks,
Can I use the Linksys CD that came with the router. On the CD it says Run CD First. Can this disk run on Windows Vista?
If not do I need to somewhere on Linksys site to download a new disk?
Thanks for your support and help.

How to configure network printer with Linksys WRT54GL router network

I just bought a Linksys WRT54GL router and I am planning to build the following home-network around it:
1. A desktop computer connected to router via ethernet cable (hard-wired).
2. An HP Network Printer (Color LaserJet CM1312 MFP) connected to router via ethernet cable (hard-wired).
3. A notebook connected to router via Wi-Fi.
I want both computers (desktop and notebook) to be able to share files, and also to share the same network printer.
a. How do I do this?
b. Do I need to install the printer drivers in both computers as if the printer was local for each one?
c. What settings do I need to include in the Linksys router settings (and also the printer settings) to allow all this? I've read on the internet about DHCP configs, IP address, etc. but I hardly understand anything.
A step-by-step ("for dummies") explanation will be extremely appreciated.

You will need to install the printer driver on each computer that will be using the printer. You will need to have a printer driver that is designed to be used on a network. Many of HP's drivers (but not all of them) can be used for either a USB or a network connection.
Usually, when you use HP's printer installation software, it will walk you through the printer installation procedure, and install the printer drivers. This software is normally located on a CD that came with the printer. Some installation software demands that you setup a USB connection first, then switch to a network connection. Other installation software might install a network connection directly. Just follow the HP directions.
There are no special settings in the router. Simply wire (using an ethernet cable) your printer to a LAN port on the router, when the installation software (or instructions) tells you to do so.
Your printer will likely get a different LAN IP address (192.168.1.x ) from time to time. Some printer drivers can handle this and still work properly. Other printer drivers get confused, and cannot find your printer when it changes addresses. If your driver has this problem, then you will need to assign your printer a fixed LAN IP address. This will force the printer to have the same LAN IP address each time you boot up your network. If you need to do this, you will need to enter the LAN IP address directly into your printer (Sometimes this is done using the printer's buttons and display panel, and sometimes this is done using HP printer software). Note that any fixed LAN IP address must be outside your DHCP server range (defaults are 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149 ) , and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255. If you need to use a fixed LAN IP address, I would suggest you use 192.168.1.13 , which should be easy to remember by looking at the model number of your printer. If you need to use a fixed LAN IP address, you will also need to enter the Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway 192.168.1.1 , and DNS Server 192.168.1.1 , into your printer. If you use a fixed LAN IP address in the printer, you do not need to change any settings in the router. The router will automatically find your printer when you turn your printer on. Even if your printer is using a fixed LAN IP address, your computers can continue to get their address automatically from the router's DHCP server.

Can't connect to WRT54GL using Vista

Hi all,
This weekend I bought a new laptop, a packard bell running Vista. At home I have a WRT54GL router, which works fine with the Macbook I already had.
After powering up the new Vista laptop, I tried connecting to the wireless network. Although Vista recognizes the network (it shows up on the list of active networks), I cannot connect. I have tried using WEP, WPA, WPA2, and even the unsecured mode for the network. Vista knows if the network is or is not secured (so it does receive a signal), but it does not allow me to connect to. And what I get from Vista as to how to solve this problem does not help at all ("try connecting to another network" ....). In all cases, the Macbook connects without problem.
Any thoughts on what could be wrong with the Vista laptop, and what I could do about it?
Thanks a lot!
Mark

Change the Wireless Channel on the router(channels : 1/11/9)....Also change the SSID on the router...If it does not make any difference it is possibly your laptop...Try connecting to some other network either from home or outside your home...If it does not connect you need to update/re-install the built-in wireless adapter drivers...

Not able to access the Lynksys WRT54GL router

Hi,
This is Vijay here. Few months back i had upgraded my Lynksys router with Coova AP firmware. Everything was working fine. I had configured the AAA server on CoovaAP and was able to access the internet.I had configured the user name and password as a "testuser" and "password" respectively. With that user id i used to access the Coova AP router and internet.
Now i want restore the WRT54GL firmware on Lynksys router. But with the used id and password which i had configured the router is not at all accessible. So i did 30-30-30 reset on the router 2-3 times.
Now i can see openwrt login page with 192.168.1.1 IP address. It is asking for user id and password. I tried all the combinations of user id and password, but no luck. I browsed some link on the internet and some people have recommended that default user id as a "root" and blank password. But with that also the router is not accessible. I cant to do much on the router untill i will log in to router. I have spent lot of time on this.
Can somebody please tell me how to restore back the original WRAT54GL firmware on my router. Anyhow i want WRAT54GL firmware on Lynksys router. Can somebody tell me how to achieve this?? Or atleast what user id and password should i try to log in to router?? It will be great help.
I tried to use telnet command on the router (Connected router to linux based computer with ethernet cable). But telnet also not working. It is not asking for password, and it saying disconnected.
I am stuck on this router from almost 1.5 weeks. Can somebody please tell me some solution.
Regards,
Vijay

Ask in a openwrt forum. They should know how you can upload a new firmware file.

WRT54GL broadcast keeps cycling on and off

I've had a WRT54GL ( for about a week now ) with no real issues. Today my wife mentioned that the net's been flaky ( wireless nto hard wired ). I originally noticed what seemed like minutes for my desktop of laptop to connect to any web pages. Loads were extremely slow. According to the computer I had a 1 mbps connection. I did the standard resetting of the modem and router..babble babble babble. Of course all of which didn't help.
Eventually, I ran a wifi analyzer from my phone to determine an ideal channel. However, while running the frequency scanner I also noticed that my broadcasting would continue to drop off the radar for a quick moment then return. This seemed to be true no matter what channel I set. What's interesting is that the signal would read as extremely strong for 45 sec - 1 minute, then completely drop the signal, then another strong broadcast.
Other neighboring signals don't exhibit this behavior....well I would see the weaker signals coming in and off the radar from time to time.
Has anyone seen anything like this before? I'm guessing it's some type of interference? However if that's the case I can't explain why my signal seems so strong. I'm assuming I'd see a lot of fluctuation in my signal before dropping off ( instead of going from 100 to 0 in the blink of an eye ).

Connect one computer wired with the router and let me know the IP address from the Router… You can check the IP address in the following manner:
If you wish to find out your own IP address, you should run the same ms-dos prompt by clicking Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt. A black pop up box should come up, type: "ipconfig /all" … There check the IP address and Default Gateway under LAN….
You can try out the following steps:
# Open up the browser and on the address bar type “Default Gateway” that will open up the Router setup page…
# Then Click on wireless Tab and select you can make Standard Channel to 6, 9, 11... Click Save Settings...
# Then click on Advanced Wireless Settings, change Beacon Interval to 75, Fragmentation Threshold to 2306, and RTS Threshold to 2307...
# Avoid using cordless phones, microwave ovens nearer to the Router…
Then check the connectivity….

The beauty of the WRT54GL - Can it be done again?

Hello WRT fans and Linksys personnel!
I would like to first say that I LOVE the WRT54GL (as many do). Over the years I have bought them not only for myself, but for friends and family too. It is the most flexible geek-friendly device I have ever owned, and its overwhelming popularity is clearly something to learn from.
The reason it has gained so large a following is obvious to me. It's that magical little "L" at the end of the model number (which, in case you don't already know, stands for Linux). It is my understanding that that feature was put there so that people like us can have fun with our devices. No more strict reliance on someone else to dictate what our firmware can do. Thanks to that we have amazing projects like DD-WRT, Tomato and OpenWRT, just to name a few.
My question is simple: When will we get a modern version of this device? When will the guts of it be upgraded to 802.11n with a few gigabit ports on the back? I think it would be the most profitable move you could make, Linksys.
As it stands I would NEVER purchase any other router than the WRT54GL simply because there is no other good open-source router on the market. But alas, in a world of HD content, the old girl is being put to the test. Without 802.11 and gigabit speeds, things often require an element of patience.
Won't you please consider reviving this amazing product? If it's not too much to ask, I'd like to make a few small suggestions:
1. No need to get fancy. Leave the shell exactly the same as the WRT54GL. I love the look of it! The latest line of Linksys routers look very shiny and sleek, but I don't trust shiny and sleek nearly as much as angular and utilitarian. I want a man's router, not a fashion statement! Heh heh!
2. Make it completely open-source. That's the main selling point after all!
3. Call it the WRT54NL. Yes, I know the 54 would no longer be representative of speeds, but for the sake of nostalgia? Ok, maybe this one is too much to ask!
I sincerely hope this notion is taken seriously. It would be a real pleasure as a loyal customer to be heard!
Thank you!

Why not just press the standby button on top of the phone?
Hold it for two seconds to turn off the display (all calls, notifications and emails/texts) will still go through.
I was using keyboard lock, standby is much easier. Just push the button again to bring it out of standby.

Multilingual www interface for WRT54GL (with polish language pack)

As project for my diploma, I've created a multilingual www interface on the base of official Linksys source code, I've also created and added polish language pack.
http://pkles.fm.interia.pl/wrt54gl_4.30.9.tar.bz2
Link to firmware image
http://pkles.fm.interia.pl/release.tar.bz2
Source code for all modified files.
You have to download the official source code for version WRT54GL 4.30.9 form Linksys GPL center site and overwrite it with my files. I recommend moving / removing the official /release/src/router/www/cisco_wrt54g_m/ folder before overwriting it with my files.
It's my first that big translation, and my first GPL project hope someone finds it useful.
[I don't take any responsibility for the results of using this code/firmware. This said I honestly believe that it won't cause any harm , the firmware works just fine on my WRT54GL.]

I solved the below error by editing in registry:
Error:
A Setup failure previously occurred while installing the UnifiedMessaging role. Either run Setup again for just this role, or remove the role using Control Panel.
Solution:
Open regedit (Start -> run), navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ExchangeServer\v14
Under each role, UnifiedMessagingRole, have a look for an action and watermark entry, Delete these 2 keys, and retry. it solve this error, and You can now run the installation again of your "UMLanguagePack.en-US". and its done and installed now.
After "UMLanguagePack.en-US" Installation, i tried to continue installation of Exchange Server 2010 SP3, but I faced the same first error in UM role setup as the below,
What can i Do? please help urgently.

Bug in ip routing in WRT54GL?

Hi everyone! During Christmas I had some problems with my WRT54GL. I'm connecting to the Internet with a Speedtouch 510 with PPPoE and dynamic ip. The Speedtouch takes care of the PPPoE login and it's set to "PPPoE in bridged mode" which means that the public ip address is passed to my computer/router or whatever is put on the "LAN" side of the modem. When I was away for Christmas I noticed that I couldn't reach my home computer anymore. When I got back the ip for my connection had changed. I usually get a 83.177.x.y address with the gateway 83.177.8.1, but this time I got the ip 90.130.6.30. Neither my computer or the WRT54GL could ping or reach anything outside my WAN ip. Until then I had been using the tomato firmware, I tried installing the original Linksys firmware, but I got the same result. Connecting the Speedtouch directly to my computer worked fine, which to me kind of proves that something is wrong with the WRT54GL. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this? My solution was this; I think the problem occurs because of a bug in the WRT54GL firmware. The following configuration (recieved through dhcp) works fine: IP Address 83.177.13.213 Subnet Mask 255.0.0.0 Gateway 83.177.8.1 the following works when connected directly to the computer, but not when using WRT54GL: IP Address 90.130.6.30 Subnet Mask 255.0.0.0 Gateway 83.177.8.1 The solution was to power off the modem long enough for the dhcp lease to expire, power it on and hope to get a 83.x.y.z ip address (which I got and then everything worked as usual). I'm guessing the WRT54GL cannot handle either the subnetmask of 255.0.0.0 on the WAN interface and/or maybe in combination with the gateway on a address which differs from the wan ip. Thankful for any comments on this. Cheers, Tobias

Thank you Rich! Yes, that link between NetFlow and routing-not-bridging is beginning to sink in for me.
My reason for bridging is that I do not need VPN or NAT, I just need the subnet (ip) traffic to flow from gi0/1 to gi0/0 and back. I have been reading and re-reading this article, http://www.netcraftsmen.net/resources/archived-articles/428-integrated-routing-and-bridging.html, and it seems that "concurrent" or "integrated" routing and bridging may be the way to go.
I am concerned that, to the extent that the ip traffic is bridged (not routed), it will be invisible to NetFlow, for exactly the reason that you describe. So even if I set up a CRB or IRB, I might not get useful NetFlow data.
Or maybe there is a way to configure ip routing so that there are hardly any decisions made, rather the subnet goes straight through in both directions. I fear that is such a simple case that no one makes examples for it. I have been assigned half of a class C subnet, e.g. 209.201.225.1 through .127. I am not terribly short on ipv4 numbers so I can use up a number for the gi0/1 and/or gi0/0 and/or BVI interface(s).
For ~14 years a Cisco 2621 router has been used "here" purely for the purpose of traffic shaping. I recently upgraded to the Cisco 1941 and am keen to take advantage of traffic peak shaping and NetFlow v5 or v9. I took the config from the 2621 and used it as the basis for my config for the 1941.
I am (obviously) very new to all this and self-taught. My expert is currently ridiculously overbooked so I am trying to figure it out. In other words, I will not feel offended if you need to state the "obvious" to steer me in a useful direction.

WRT54GL MAC ADDRESS FILTER

Hi I have a wireless access point WRT54GL and i configure it with mac address filter but it allow me to put only 40 mac and i need more? Is there any way to add more? Thanx

Install 3rd party firmware like dd-wrt or hyperwrt+thibor. That should give you more. However, remember a bad flash may brick the router and is not covered by warranty.
Also remember, that the wireless mac address filter does not provide you with any reasonable security. MAC addresses are quickly captured and quickly cloned. It only takes a few minutes to gather some mac addresses which are allowed into your wireless network and that's it.
Set up wireless security with WPA2 or WPA and a strong passphrase. That's all you can do to really protect your wireless.
If you want more detailed access control, consider installing a RADIUS server and using user/password authentication based on WPA2 or WPA (using the RADIUS or Enterprise variants).
But the wireless mac address filter is widely overrated as security mean and only requires a lot of work and time to maintain the lists.

Linksys WRT54GL - illegal subnet mask message

Hello everybody,
I just changed the ISP and the new one is on optic fiber, and they arrived with theirs equipment, wich is a Huawey EchoLife HG856 and I connected it to my Linksys WRT54GL.
When I tried to configure the router with the settings gived by the provider i received the following message:
"illegal subnet mask".
The setting given to me by the provider are: (i replaced some numbers with *, for privacy)
Where is the problem?
adresa de IP: 1**.27.1*4.6

Try to hard-reset the router for 1 minute,power cycle the router and check again.

WRT54GL loses Wlan connection

Hi
I have a problem with an WRT54GL Router. It keeps losing the Wlan connection. Then I have to reboot the router to get it working again.
On some days everything works fine, and the other day I have to reboot every 5 minutes.
I don´t use P2P. So there are not many simultaneous connections. Mostly there are only one or two Wlan Clients active.
Between the Router and the Client is only one Wall. Signal Strenght is at all times above 85%.
Does anyone have an idea what might cause this?

Try upgrading your router's firmware and reconfigure it from the scratch.

Cannot Access WRT54GL Config Page

I am doing some consulting work for a small business and cannot gain access to the routers configuration page. Here is a summary of the environment:
* WRT54GL, ver. 1.1.
* The WAN port of the router is connected directly to the Verizon DSL modem for Internet access.
* Port 1 is connected to the main switch (192.168.102.x subnet).
* Users can also connect to this router by wireless (192.168.3.x subnet).
* When I connect to the wireless network, it appears that the router has been assigned an IP address of 192.168.3.1. When I execute an ipconfig command:
Connection-specific DNS suffix: lan
Dhcp Enabled: Yes
Autoconfiguration Enabled: Yes
IP Address: 192.168.3.240
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.3.1
DHCP Server: 192.168.3.1
DNS Server: 192.168.3.1
* When I connect to the "wired" network, it appears that the router has been assigned an IP address of 192.168.102.254. When I execute an ipconfig command:
Connection-specific DNS suffix: ourcompany.com
Dhcp Enabled: Yes
Autoconfiguration Enabled: Yes
IP Address: 192.168.102.111
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.102.254
DHCP Server: 192.168.102.15
DNS Server: 192.168.102.254
* When I am on the wireless network, I can successfully ping 192.168.3.1 and 192.168.1.1. When I ping 192.168.102.254, it resolves to 192.168.3.1 and returns a "Destination port unreachable".
* When I connect to the "wired" network, I can succesfully ping 192.168.3.1 (as well as 192.168.102.254 - obviously), but I cannot ping 192.168.1.1 ("Request timed out").
ACTIONS:
1) I am trying to connect to the WRT54GL device to examine the configuration and create a route between the two networks. I have downloaded Linksys Easylink Advisor and I can see the network (on both connections), but cannot get into the configuration pages I receive an error ("MSG_100_000_000 Unhandled error ...") and then goes into an endless loop "Retrieving Router Settings".
2) When I attempt to access through a web browser (from both subnets), I get a "page not found" error.
3) I connected a cable directly to an open port in the router. I immediately had Internet access and was assigned an IP in the 192.168.3.x subnet. Still I could not connect to the administration page on either 192.168.3.1 or 192.168.1.1.
4) Power cycled the router and re-attempted 1,2, and 3 above - same result.
5) Downloaded the latest firmware upgrade and tried to apply through linksys-ftp (while connected directly to the router). In the dialogue box I entered 192.168.1.1 and the default password of 'admin' and pointed to the firmware upgrade file. After clicking the "Upgrade" button and three tries, I get an "Unable to get responses from server" message. This also happens when trying to connect to 192.168.1.1.
6) Since I am not sure whether I should be connecting to 192.168.3.1 or 192.168.1.1, I also tried to assign a static IP on my laptop in the 192.168.1.x subnet, but that left me with no network connection at all.
SO .... where do I go from here? I know I can do a reset and get back to the factory installed settings on the router, but I really prefer NOT to do that. Whoever set this up is long gone, and no one here has any idea about the network or even who it was that set it up. I think it would take a long time to reconstruct things (during off hours since people need to be connected to the network all day), so I don't want to go down that path.
Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom

What is the model of the switch that you are using? Is this just a plain pass through switch or a manageable one? I am curious where you are getting that 192.168.102.x ip range. If wired to the router you are getting 192.168.3.1, then that should be the address that you use when you run the tftp utility. And also what is the ip address that you are getting from the modem? Is the modem bridged or is it functioning as a modem/router?
If you want to upgrade the router's firmware, I suggest that you remove the switch and the modem from the loop and see if you can access the router interface. If you cannot, then reset the router for 30 seconds, powercycle it and see if you can now access the router interface.
