WRT54GS causing PPPoE to drop on DSL Modem?

ATT DSL modem RANDOMLY drops Internet light (PPPoE session) and must be power cycled to recover.�� This has been�� consistent since April until yesterday.�� Modem set to SMART STAY ALIVE for PPPoE session.
��
1. Replaced Motorola MSTATEA modem TWICE on suspicion.�� Modem set to handle PPPoE session.�� Drops Internet light randomly while router lights appear normal.
��
2. ATT tech. tested CO to premise and from NID to wall jack as GOOD - no errors no noise.�� All passed with high marks.
��
3. Linksys WRT54GS V4 router appears OK as all lights are on -�� yesterday for first time the modem lights were all on proper and the router would not allow connection.�� Router lights all on normal.�� Had to power cycle router twice to get access.
��
This has been happening since April.�� I am going to replace the router on suspicion only since all else is tested or new.��
��
We are able to keep connection for hours or days or weeks before losing PPPoE session and MUST power cycle modem to recover.��
��
Note: during one drop in PPPoE on modem: I reviewed technician readout and saw SNRM Rx @ -4.0 while Tx was 21.�� When ATT was there they were both 10 or better - good.
��
I have read over and over that WRT54GS v.2 was the last very good GS model and subsequent models have problems.�� Any feedback on this?
��
What else can I provide here to help diagnose this?�� Getting a bit desparate as my customer is losing patience AND money.��
��
Thank you,
Larry

Access the setup page of the router by launching an
Browser and type on the address bar, 192.168.1.1 and press enter. When
it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field
empty and provide password as "admin" (Without quotes)
click on ok.
On the main setup page the ""Internet Connection Type"" should be
on ""Obtain IP Automatically - DHCP “. Click on the Save Settings
button.
Now click on the sub tab ""MAC address clone"".
- Click on enable
Click Clone & click save settings
Check WAN Ip on Status page of router ....
If getting Valid Ip .... try going online
If you are getting Ip - 192.168.1.X ...change the LAN Ip to 192.168.2.1 ....Power cycle for 3-4 minutes ...
Try going online
If still not working ...use Internet Connection type as PPPOE .... Use Username & Password provided by Service Provider ....
Click save settings....
Look for WAN IP address again under status page ...

Apple Airport Extreme Base Station for PPPoE, DHCP and NAT with ActionTec DSL modem

I just spent several hours trying to track down proper instructions for setting up my Apple AEBS to do the PPPoE, DHCP and NAT while connected to an ActionTec M1000 (no wireless module). It turns out my initial set ups on both devices were correct, but that the order for rebooting and reconnecting the two devices is critical. All of the threads I found on this forum and on many others suggested this was not possible, but it is. What I don't yet know is whether it is the best method for running my home network DSL connection to my ISP (CenturyLink).
The instructions I found that worked come courtesy of Brandon Konkle's blog and are both simple and clear: http://brandon.konkle.us/post/19637529637/centurylink-actiontec-q1000-airport-ex treme-bridge
The proper settings for the ActionTec DSL Modem can be found under Advanced Setup/IP Adressing/WAN IP Address
Click RFC 1483 Transparent Bridging then click on Apply.
(see also http://qwest.centurylink.com/internethelp/modems/m1000/pdf/M1000_BRIDGE.pdf )
To reduce time, do this BEFORE you reset your AEBS then set the AEBS so that you don't have to wait for the AEBS to reboot.
In contrast to what Brandon described for the Q1000 modem, my AEBS never reconnected to the modem (he describes his as getting an IP from his ISP, then dropping it then getting another over and over - mine never got an IP). Once you have reset both devices as described, the critical steps I have not found described elsewhere were:
1. Disconnect the power from both the modem and the Airport Extreme.
2. Disconnect the Ethernet cable between the two devices
3. Restore power to the 2 devices and allow them to fully reboot. For the ActionTec M1000, this is indicated when the lights stop blinking. (Note that the Internet light will NOT be lit in this instance since the modem is acting only as a bridge. You will NOT have an Internet connection until the AEBS is reconnected.) The AEBS will be blinking yellow.
4. Reconnect the Ethernet cable between the devices (make sure on the M1000 that you are using the connector with the circle icon over it, not the arrow icon).
Within about 60 seconds, the AEBS light went to steady green and the connection to the Internet was restored.
Now I have to see if this is a more stable configuration than the flaky one I had before while using the AEBS as a bridge and the M1000 to do everything.
Does anyone think or know if it will make a difference?

No one can accurately predict in advance what the actual results might be. I've tried both ways with different products and cannot say that one method is better than the other. What works is best.
In theory, it is preferable to have the modem provide the PPPoE connection service since it is the device connected directly to the Internet.
In practice, results vary depending on the service provider, products used, phase of the moon, alignment of the planets, etc.

HSI connection dropping, either DSL down or PPPoE unavailable, 10-15 times a day

Located in Powhatan VA, 23139 Westell 7500 modem, and the modem is configured with PPPoE credentials. Starting around 10am, the DSL connection regularly drops for most of the morning until about 2-3pm. Seems tolerable the rest of the day. Once connection is lost, it stays down for 2-30 minutes at a time.
I ran a straight line from the Verizon box outside to the DSL modem, so no other devices are in play. All computers are wireless connections
Noticed there does not seem to be a way to open a repair request from the website? Online chat seems pretty useless.

I have connected a new time capsule to a dsl modem. It doesnt see the internet. Airport utility says: Disconnected. But it isnt. Internet tab shows PPPoE. Must I enter Account Name or Password? If so, where do I find them? If not, what do I do?

I have connected a new Time Capsule to a DSL modem using an ethernet cable . The modem is working fine and connected fine. But the Time Capsule doesnt seem to be talking to the modem. If I click the internet Icon in Airport Utility it shows Disconnected.If I click the Time Capsule icon and go to the internet tab it shows Connect using PPPoE. Is that what it should be? In the box below there is place for an account name and password. DO I need to filll these out and if so what do I put there--information about the Time Capsule of informationabout the Modem? And where do I find the information.
Or am I completely on the wrong track.

Thanks. The modem is a Speedtouch ST585 v6. How do I know whether it is in adsl bridge? Also this is a modem-***-router. Does that make a difference?
If you did not put it in bridge then it is not in bridge..
Connect a computer directly to the modem.. open the browser to either 192.168.1.254 or 10.0.0.138 (if neither of those work you will have to check the IP address your ISP has set).
BTW who is your ISP and do they allow PPPoE.. for instance most ISP in UK do not use pppoe so you have no choice but to run the 585 as a router. In which case bridge the TC
Anyway.. open the setup configuration in the Thomson and select a template that says bridge.. run through the wizard and it will then bridge the modem.
And I am using Airport Utility 6.0. How do I get the earlier version?
By reading the site link I just gave you.. downloading the utility and running it on your computer. Or simply google to 5.6 lion airport utility... that is the way I find things when I don't have the link memorised.
Finally, AIrport Utility shows a number in a red dot next to the time capsule icon, currently 2. What is that for? What does it tell us?
Firstly download the useful utility.. but the dots tell you something is wrong and preventing the TC from working.. if you open the utility it should tell you what the errors mean.. I cannot tell you what they are, but it is likely to be no internet connection and pppoe has failed.

Connecting a WRT54G Wireless Broadband Router to a Westell DSL Modem

For some reason I can't get my wireless router to finalize the last step on installation on my desktop. I followed all the tutorials from the linksys help center and I still can't get the router to install correctly. I did ipconfig/release and ipconfig/renew. I made sure the IP address was in the 169.xxxxx range. Changed the default IP on the web based utility from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.2.1 . When I changed all of the info mentioned before I could get internet service to my base computer, but I could not get passed the last step of installing the router and no wireless to any laptops. I have done everything by the book and it still doesn't work. If there is anyone that could help me, I would really appreciate it. I have DSL Internet service throught AT&T. My router is a WRT54G and my DSL Modem is a Westell Modem, Its black square shaped with five lights on the front.

WRT54G & Westell DSL Modem/Router

I want to use the WRT54G as a WAP or signal repeater to extend the range of my Westell 327W DSL modem/wireless router. Is there a way to do that? I'd like to put it halfway between my wireless router and another wireless computer in my house.
Message Edited by rweintra on 08-08-2007 05:13 AM

That router can not be used as a repeater. You can turn it into a wireless access point but it will not repeat the signal from another wireless router with the linksys firmware. You can try to look for a third party firmware that may give you that option but if you do install a third party firmware it will void any warrenty you have on that router.
Check this LINK for other firmware.

WRT54G behind a 2wire DSL modem

I just picked up a WRT54G to replace a old Microsoft router I'd been using as a base station for a few years. However when I run the easylink install it doesn't seem to detect the router at all. I have a 2wire gateway DSL modem going to a 8 port switch that my router is connected to (the router is on the far side of the house where I want the wireless), there are a few other PC's plugged into the switch also. I've tried hooking everything in straight to the DSL modem but nothing. Does anyone have any ideas what might be going on here? I don't really want to put the DSL modem into bridged mode for a few different reason.

you may be forced to disable the modem's firewall in order for you to get internect access. i had problems with a 2wire modem. the solution i found was to disable the firewall on the modem...

Bridge mode for DSL modem

Hey all,
I recently purchsed a WRT54G (v5.0) wireless-G router for my apartment. There will be 4 users on the network: 2 PC's (wired), 1 xbox (wired), 1 mac laptop (wireless). I have been having a few issues setting everything up and could use some advice.
First, does the SBC Yahoo! DSL modem need to be in bridged mode or normal mode? Currently it is in bridge mode and I am having some issues with the router dropping the connection (PPPoe Authentication failing). If anyone knows how the modem should be set up, I would love to know.
Second, DHCP on the router seems to be having some issues. For example, one of the PC's is running Ubuntu (6.06 Dapper Drake), and while it is able to obtain an IP through DHCP, it does not show up on the DHCP Clients Table on the router. Has anyone seen similar problems?
I updated the firmware to v1.09, in case that makes any difference.

first :- does the PPPoE connection work or no ? i'd suggest that you also try to clone the MAC address of the PC along with PPPoE , certain ISP's use dual authentication modes ...The bridge mode is fine .
As far as your DHCP client list is concerned...do the other PC's show up on the DHCP client ?

Airport Expess with DSL Modem Router

I had a DSL Modem Router with 3 computers plugged into it via ethernet and was working fine. I then replaced one of my computers with a laptop so bought an AE and plugged it into an ethernet port on the DSL modem router. It worked fine for about 4 days then all three computers internet connections went down. I have got the two desktops working again with the AE disconnected but am worried that if i connect the AE again the same thing will happen. Is there any way that i can avoid this from happening? is this because i am doubling up the routing if you know what i mean?
MacBook Pro 17" Mac OS X (10.4.7)

First welcome to the discussions,
This isn't that uncommon, many of us expieriance drops in service and have to reset our systems.
There could be any number of reasons that cause this from a Power Spike to surges from power company, to storms from wind and lighting.
If you are lucky nothing gets fried and a simple reset will take care of the problem. Other times it can fry about any component and sometimes it's hard to find exqactly what is fried. If you are able to reset and get everything up and running again I wouldn't worry to much, I would consider a Battery Back-up to add to your Network to save your equipment though.
Cheers and Good Luck.

Quest DSL Modem will not connect

I am trying to connect to DSL via Qwest and 2wire modem. I have gone through all the shut-down, and restart sequences on other posts and still, the green lights on the modem come on for ethernet, power and DSL but the Internet light on the modem remains red. It will not allow me to connect to 172.16.0.1 as suggested by another post.
Qwest tells me I should contact apple as it is not a modem problem.
Since I am currently, connected to the net via a satellite modem, I figured that some software downloaded for that might be causing a problem so I connected the modem to my ibook (G3) and am getting the same problem. The iBook is running OS 10.4. which does not allow me to configure the IPv4 automatically so I tried setting it manually with no success.
Also, I was wondering why Qwest tells me to select connection PPPoA, not PPPoE. When I tried to set up the PPPoE, with their settings, that did not work either. My neighbor has a Mac and Qwest so I am not sure what the problem is.
Can anyone help???

I was finally able to connect with my laptop to the new DSL modem. This modem has 4 ethernet ports and they said that I should be able to attach my desktop computer using another internet cable. When I did that, all of my browsers give me a "cannot connect to the www. server" message. Is there a setting that needs to be changed on that computer somewhere?
I CAN connect to the modem 192.168.0.1 but it will not go "outside" of that address.
Any suggestions???

RG54RS + DSL Modem = Frozen RG54RS... HELP!!!

I'm having trouble setting up the internet on my wireless network... everything will work fine, I can change all the settings and stuff... but the moment I plug the DSL modem into the Residential Gateway, it stops responding.
I've tried it through wireless AND wired connection, I've tried resetting the RG with the modem plugged in, I've tried resetting the modem with it plugged in... I'm out of ideas!
Please help!
Thanks in advance

I have a problem with the PPPoE connection on the RG54GS. I have tried with the new firmware.
I enter my PPPoE information correctly as the log file information shows
"PPPoE Connect" or something like that
"PPPoE Dropped" when I pull the cable.
When I enter the PPPoE information incorrectly I get more detailed information about the PPPoE connection being established and failing. So it looks like I have the login information correctly.
Anyways back to the problem. I can connect to the PPPoE connection (istop.com over bell lines (Bell Sympatico) in Canada )using Windows software and with Linux no problem.
Using the RG54GS it seems to make the connection by putting the "OK" message in the log file. However once that happens I cannot route through the RG54GS to the outside world.
I set the routing gateway to 192.168.1.254. I cannot ping any address in the outside world (not even the DNS server)
I set the DNS server as an IP address on the machine and cannot do DNS lookups. No suprise as I cannot ping the DNS machine.
So the RG54GS is happy with the PPPoE connection but I cannot seem to get any information through the box. The RG54GS is otherwise in the default setting running NAT, DHCP and low firewall operations.
I can connect to the RG54GS and look at the setting during this time no problem.
During this time the ADSL modem shows burst activity, big clumps, big pauses of about 1/2 second duration each. Even if I am not trying to do anything from the computer.
Question: What does the box do after logging PPPoE OK?

DSL modem no longer recognized by computer

I am on dial-up right now, because I can no longer connect to the internet with my Verizon DSL ever since Windows Vista failed to update a driver a couple of weeks ago, during regular Windows Updates. I have done extensive troubleshooting and all the tests boil down to something being wrong with the modem. The modem was working just fine, but now Windows does not recognize the device because it cannot update the drivers. It suggested going to the manufacturer's website. I found an update on the Verizon website, but the computer still does not recognize the modem.
I have a Westell 2110 DSL modem. I downloaded the upgrade from Verizon's website: B90-210015WebLoad_VER_01_00_35
The computer says I am connected to the internet via Verizon, but I have limited connectivity to the local area connection. Therefore, my computer cannot connect to the internet.
In summary, my computer no longer interfaces with my dsl modem, and yet has failed to update new drivers. Is this an example of Windows Vista not working with old hardware? Is there a way to fix this? Or do I have to buy a new modem? (expensive)
And would it happen with a new modem? I can't use the installation CD that came with the modem because it does not work with Windows Vista.
Please help! I don't want to waste money doing something that doesn't work or won't last.
Thank you

My DSL modem was doing similar problems and I couldn't figure out why, but one day I had a friend come over with his computer and it worked just fine on his computer. I still haven't found out the cause why my computer that is running vista is not working just that its not vista his computer has vista to. Have you tried another computer? Im no expert in this, but when my computer went out I was downloading the new Verizon Security Suite so I could keep the virus protection they offered. Im not certain that this was my problem but I do think my problem could be the same problem as you.

I had a failure of a dsl modem which inturn destroyed my ethernet port of non isight imac G5. In attempt to solve the problem I did a clean install of leopard 10.5.4. I am unable to upate to 10.6,.7 or .8 without freezing system network preferences

Dsl modem failure caused malfunction of ethernet port. In attempt to solve problem I did a clean instillation of Leopard 10.5.4 and then update to 10.5.5 with access to internet through apple usb to ethernet adapter. If I attempt to update software to 10.5.6, .7 or .8 it freezes my network system preferences and computer will no longer shut down. The network connection assistant also no longer sees a connection to the internet throught the usb/ethernet adapter. I have checked they systerm Tech tool deluxe which shows no problems and also used hard drive utility on instillation disk which found no problems. Permissions were also checked as well and no problems noted. Any thoughts as I really like my imac G5.

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

A query about Time Capsule, Ethernet, and DSL modems...

When I originally set up my modem, I used the network assistant and it seemed to "auto-connect", where the assistant tells you that your ISP "may allow you" etc. This was done with the ethernet cable as Modem to Macbook Pro. Then when I purchased a TC, I simply connected the ethernet cable to the TC and let Airport Utility set up a wireless network.
All was fine, until I was trying to ensure my security was half-decent. I changed a few settings in the TC, and then spent an afternoon trying to get my MBP to "see" the wireless network. I got that managed as well.
What's confusing me is this, and I hope someone can help me and explain it like I'm a 5-year-old.
1. In speaking with the ISP tech support, they seemed pretty sure I had to enter specific DCHP, DNS, etc. values in their fields, yet with the network assistant, it seemed to do this not only on its own, but with different values (numbers) then the one tech support told me to use, including an assigned "public" 192 IP address.
2. Moreover, the ISP told me I should use PPPoE, yet the network assistant seemed just fine with Ethernet and DCHP.
3. My ethernet IP address (System preferences/Network) is different from my Airport IP address. Is this normal?
4. Strangely, when I connect another ethernet cable from the TC ethernet out port to the MBP (I was attempting a quicker Time Machine incremental back up), and turned Airport off (as an experiment), I still have internet connectivity. I thought TC ethernet out to MBP would only be for disk data transfer. Is this normal? If I have Airport "ON", would that cable then only be used for data transfer?
5. I have the TC in Bridge Mode, with Access Control to "Not Enabled". I originally had my MBP and iPod Touch MAC addresses added to Access Control, until I read that this doesn't really help with security. As it stands now, I increased my WPA2 password from an easy to remember one to a random 25 character one. Basically, I am hoping someone can tell me the settings I should use (with detail) to make both the network settings AND the wireless network as safe as possible without having a computer science degree.
Additional information: I only use my MBP and iPod Touch, and the wireless network is only for my use. No guests whatsoever. I do have a usb printer connected to the TC. The modem has a wireless "WLAN" feature which I have turned off since I have the TC. For my email accounts, I have the correct ports entered, as far as I can tell and as far as I've been told by those providers. I occasionally use Acquisition (not sure how safe it is security wise), and I'm often online playing Call of Duty 4 (wirelessly). I think that all I can think of that's important.
I really appreciate everyone's comments and guidance.

4. Strangely, when I connect another ethernet cable from the TC ethernet out port to the MBP (I was attempting a quicker Time Machine incremental back up), and turned Airport off (as an experiment), I still have internet connectivity. I thought TC ethernet out to MBP would only be for disk data transfer. Is this normal? If I have Airport "ON", would that cable then only be used for data transfer?
Whichever connection is toward the top of the list in System Preferences-> Network preference pane is the one which will be used.
5. I have the TC in Bridge Mode, with Access Control to "Not Enabled". I originally had my MBP and iPod Touch MAC addresses added to Access Control, until I read that this doesn't really help with security. As it stands now, I increased my WPA2 password from an easy to remember one to a random 25 character one. Basically, I am hoping someone can tell me the settings I should use (with detail) to make both the network settings AND the wireless network as safe as possible without having a computer science degree.
WPA2 with a long non-dictionary password is the best wireless security.
2. Moreover, the ISP told me I should use PPPoE, yet the network assistant seemed just fine with Ethernet and DCHP.
If your ISP uses PPPoE for Internet connections, the device connecting directly to the DSL modem should be configured to use PPPoE.
3. My ethernet IP address (System preferences/Network) is different from my Airport IP address. Is this normal?
Yes

Airport Extreme and AT&T DSL Modem Settings?

I have given up! Switched from Time Warner CAble Modem Internet connection with my AEBS network after 3 years without problems. Moved and had to switch and get AT&T DSL High Speed Internet using their Modem (WESTELL REV: S, ADSL2+ ROUTER). Ever since self-installing this "system", I have been totally unable to use my wireless network to connect to the Internet, as wired and configured like the TWC connection! THE ONLY WAY TO GET ON THE INTERNET IS:
1)     TO TURN OFF AIRPORT (FROM MENU AT TOP OF SCREEN).
2)     CONNECT THE ETHERNET CABLE DIRECTLY INTO THE MACBOOK PRO 17" (MBP) ETHERNET PORT AND THE OTHER END DIRECTLY
        TO THE AT&T DSL MODEM (ITS ONLY ETHERNET PORT).
3)     The Internet then works fine.
I have thoroughly messed-up BOTH my MBP's Network settings and my AEBS' manual settings -- to the point I have no capability to remember the "correct" settings for the MBP Network Settings nor the settings for the AEBS!!!
In looking into the communication settings for the DSL MODEM (using Safari and its IP address -- 192.168.1.254 -- to access and look at them), I recorded them after activating the service online with AT&T and they are these settings:
Downstream Rate:               3008 Kbps
Upstream Rate:                    512 Kbps
Internet IP Address:              75.47.152.126
Internet Gateway Address: 151.164.186.1
DNS Servers:                        68.94.156.1 dnsr1.sbcglobal.net
                                               68.94.157.1 dnsr2.sbcglobal.net
Mode:                                   PPP on the modem (Private IP for LAN device)
Local Network
Modem IP Address:              192.168.1.254
Ethernet Status:                    Connected
Maybe you can tell, but I'm not sure if this modem is using PPPOe or DCHP OR NAT OR BOTH OR WHAT, but the "PPP on the modem (Private IP for LAN device)" suggests it has its PPPOe settings internal with my Member ID so this modem can and does connect to the Internet -- BECAUSE WHEN CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO MY MBP's ETHERNET PORT AND DIRECTLY TO THE MODEM's ETHERNET PORT, THE MBP IS CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET (but I cannot utilize my AEBS features also like printing and allowing another notebook pc to wirelessly connect thru the AEBS to the Internet like the TWC method did)!
I know this may seem confusing, but I am desparately depending on your help with exactly what settings I need to make inside the AEBS and to make to the MBP's Network settings for both Airport and Ethernet usable!!!
SO, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME BY PROVIDING ME WITH EITHER (OR BOTH) OF THIS INFORMATION:
1)     COMPLETE SETTINGS FOR EACH AND EVERY FIELD IN THE AEBS MANUAL SETUP AS WELL AS COMPLETE SETTINGS FOR EACH
        AND EVERY FIELD IN THE MBP NETWORK SETTINGS FOR THE AIRPORT PORT AND THE ETHERNET PORT.
2)     SEND ME FULL WEBSITE ADDRESSES AND TOPIC TO GO TO TO FIND OUT ALL OF THESE DATA TO BE ENTERED INTO MY SYSTEM.
I THANK YOU FOR ANY AND ALL HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE!!!!!
LARRY W. HAMILTON

The AEBS defaults to 10.0.1.x for internal LAN IP addresses. I'm guessing the Callvantage defaults to 192.168.1.x
You'll have to find out how to access the admin webserver on the call Callvantage, set it to a fixed IP the AEBS would see and enable the Default Host option on the AEBS with the IP address you gave the Callvantage.
Default Host is Applespeak for DMZ.
