WRT54GS cuts internet connection

Any ideas?
My WRT54GS cuts the connection after 10 min. Then I make a reset and works again for another 10 min and cuts again.

Installing WRT54G - "No internet Connection" message

I have a 2wire Gateway and AT&T high speed internet. Just got a WRT54G, trying to do the setup.
Connecting my gateway to my PC, using either of my two network cables, the internet works just fine. Connecting gateway to WRT54G to PC, following the installation software, installation fails with "No internet connection" - and it's right, there is no internet connection - I had to plug the network cable directly from the gateway to the PC again to type this.
When I connect gateway-WRT54G-PC, the power, WLAN, internet and 1 lights on the WRT54G are lit, so it clearly thinks there's a connection.
Does this router not work with 2wire gateways? Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Peter

If you are getting Ip - 192.168.1.69 ...change the LAN IP of the router to 192.168.2.1 .... Click save settings .... it will show "Page cannot be displayed" message .... Unplug the Power of Router & then the Modem ...
Wait for few minutes ... then plug in first Modem Power then the Router Power ....
Access the setup page of router using http://192.168.2.1 .... use same username & password you used last time .. ...
Check if you are able to go online or not ...
If not then on the router setup page ...use Internet Connection type as PPPOE .... use ISP ...... username & password ....
Click save settings ....
Check under Status tab if it shows connected or not ... if so then you are getting valid Ip Address .....
If not then let me know the error message you are getting .....

WRT54G no internet connection issue

Hi,
      I've been using a WRT54G router for a few years and it's worked fine until now. I recently installed AVG8.5 on to my computer and now the router can't find the internet connection. I have my compture wired to it.
      I hooked the mode directly up to my computer to make sure the modem wasn't the issue and it worked fine. I checked to make sure the local settings were on autodect and the lights on the router are all lit correctly. I have uninstalled AVG8.5 and the router still keeps saying that it cannot detect an internet connection. I've tried reseting the router and reinstalling the software, but no dice.
      I did manage to get it to broadcast its SSID, but when I tried to connect wireless it won't allow anything to connect to it. So, I'm assuming something is blocking it on my machine. Any advice? Thanks!
                              -Ashes

After resetting the router I assume the router is not properly confiured and that's the reason you have lost the Internet connection on all the computers...
You should leave the AVG8.5 un-installed and re-configure your router...

WRT54G dropping internet connectivity with Clearwire modem

I recently switched ISPs from Comcast to Clearwire. I'm linking two laptops with v. 6 of a WRT54G, which I used successfully for a couple years with my comcast service. The Clearwire service is working ok, but lately every day, sometimes twice a day, my internet speed slows to a crawl and finally stops. While this degradation of connectivity occurs, my status bar on my computer shows good wireless connection at 54 mbps and I have 5 lights on the clearwire modem, indicating best signal. I can unplug the power to the router, then after 30 seconds or so when it boots back up, I'm back to full speed on the internet. This tells me (I think) that I have an issue with the router rather than my internet connection. I'm running the router in secure mode. Is this thing just getting sick and tired or do you think there is something to be tweaked here? Thanks.

WRT54GS - no internet connection detected yet my wired computer connects to internet through router

I have had my router for a little over a year. I am connected to a wild blue satellite modem. It has worked with no problem for a year. Now, it claims to not detect an internet connection, although the computer wired to the router has no problem connecting to the internet. I just cannot connect wireless to the internet because the router thinks it has no internet connection. I have reset several times, powered on and off modem, followed all instructions for troubleshooting. All lights are lit on both the modem and the router. Do I need to replace the router, or would I encounter the same issues with a new one?
Solved!

My other computer is connecting now, although EasyLink still shows no internet connection. However, as long as I can get a connection, I do not care. I have no idea why it is working now and not before. I do not know if my husband's laptop will connect yet, but something seems to be working.

Wrt54gs loses internet connection when using P2P Ares

I have a wrt54gs v5 and I've installed the latest firmware and reset back to factory then reconfigured. Whenever Ares is started all other computers (wired or wireless) lose their inet connection. Within 2-5 minutes of stopping Ares everything starts working again. I've checked Ares and it's set to am max of 10 connections.
I've hooked up my old befsx41 and it works fine but I need the wireless. Both of these are talking to a befcmu10 cable modem. I've never had problems with linksys before but from what I'm seeing on the forums the wrt54xxx doesn't seem to be of the same quality as the oldser stuff. Anyone know of any specific versions that fix this?
(Mod Note: Edited for guideline compliance. Thanks!)
Message Edited by Maximus on 07-04-2007 02:13 PM

Since your BEF works with P2P, why don't you simply convert your WRT into a WAP (wireless access point). This way you will use the wireless of the WRT, while using the BEF to handle all the routing chores.
To do this, setup the BEF as your primary router.
Then wire one computer to port 1 (not the Internet port) on the WRT. (Note: Disconnect everything else from the WRT at this time.)
Then in the WRT do the following:
Turn off the DHCP server.
Set the "Local IP address" to 192.168.1.2 (assuming no other device on your network is using this fixed LAN IP address, and assuming the BEF is set to use the 192.168.1.x address space.)
Save your settings. Power down the WRT.
Next, connect any numbered port on the WRT to any numbered port on the BEF. Do not connect anything to the Internet port on the WRT.
The BEF will control your router settings (DHCP server, port forwarding, etc.)
The WRT will control your wireless settings.
Please let me know whether this setup allows your P2P to work properly.

WRT54G Router - Internet connection issues using the Ipod touch

Ok, first - here is my setup. I've got the router hooked into the modem, with the desktop computer hooked directly into the router. I've got my laptop running off wireless internet, and I've got an ethernet cable connecting through my laptop to an xbox for xbox live connection. I recently just got an iPod touch, and I've come to realize that whenever I'm on the iPod, it messes with the internet on the desktop computer and on the xbox, but not the laptop really.. it makes the internet really slow, or sometimes it doesn't work at all, especially on the xbox. Is there anything I can change to make these all work at the same time? Or is this too many connections or what? Please help. thanx.
(running windows vista home premium, WRT54G router, pretty much beginner status, though I can follow directions easily : ] )
Also, the internet always works on the ipod, it seems as though the ipod is 'taking over' the internet.. it doesn't lose it while in the area, yet the other computers and xbox does at times..
Message Edited by jmaxey0122 on 12-16-2009 05:27 AM

You might be facing the problem, because the Ipod and your Desktop computer must be having the same IP address thats the reason whenever your IPod is connected to your Network, your Desktop must be getting disconnected. Check the IP address of your IPOD and of your Desktop Computer.
First thing which you need to check, if the Physical connections are done properly. Connect the Modem to the Internet Port of the Linksys Router and then Connect the computer to the LAN Port No.1. On your Desktop computer login to the setup page of your Router and click on the Status tab and check "Internet IP address"
If required you can Re-Set your Router and Re-configure all the settings on your Router from the scratch.

Bizarre WRT54G, DDNS, internet connectivity problem

The other day, we lost power at home (my cable modem and router are not on a UPS - they will be shortly). The problems started soon after that (it can't be a coincidence, but I'm stumped as to how they are related). After everything powered up, we could no longer connect to the internet from any machine on the network. When I checked the WRT54G however, I found that it was connected to the outside world and had a valid IP from my ISP. Poking around from outside my network (at work, for example) showed me that if I try to connect to my web server, I instead am routed to the router setup page (I have remote config turned off and port forwarding on, and it has worked flawlessly in the past).
Further investigation showed that my DDNS service (TZO.com) was not working (the error message is "Connect to server fail"). I double-checked with TZO and they do not see an issue on their side.
Any ideas for further investigation? I'm stumped at this point. I'd almost say the power problem fried the router, but if it did, it seems to be an awfully selective frying. Thanks in advance, and please let me know if there's additional information needed to help.
My setup:
Time Warner Roadrunner cable modem (not sure of the type/model)
Linksys WRT54G router, firmware 4.21.1
TZO.com DDNS service
Solved!

Well try upgrading the firmware of the router & keep on holding tightly the 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!!

Airplay from 4s no video and cuts off internet connection

Airplay mirroring from 4s used to work now whenever I try it only streams audio and no video and cuts off my internet connection. Apple tv is connected with CAT6 ethernet to a dual band router. I optomized my router according to apple standards and still having issues

Having similar issue after updating firmware and utility. Utility now is not finding ap or ape yet they seem to be functioning. Very odd.

WRT54GS won't connect to internet

I've turned WEP security on and off with no success. My computer can connect to Road Runner when the cable is not going through the WRT54GS. The connection is excellent on all my devices, just no internet. I'm thinking there's one tiny setting I'm not thinking of enabling but I'm out of ideas at the moment. If you need more info from me let me know. Thanks...

any wired connection that is going to the internet?

My WRT54G v5 router loses internet connection frequently

My WRT54G v5 router loses internet connection frequently. Sometimes occurs when you enter a web or sometimes every few minutes, but without a pattern. I have W XP Pro with SP3 and I have a pc wired to the router and sometimes 2 notebook with Wi-Fi. What could be the problem?. Thank you very much.

I have upgraded the firmware to v 1.02.8 and reduced the MTU to 1350 but after a few minutes of doing that I had the same problem... The router reboots itself, again and again and again...
It's possible to run some diagnostic utility that somebody can check ??
It's possible it would be a router failure ??
I note that sometimes is ok and when Entering some web pages the router reboots itself and I loose my internet connection, but others, the router reboots for no apparent reason...
I dont know what to do...

WRT54GS - Internet Connection Stopping/Hanging

Hi,
Just got the WRT54GS, had it about a week.
Whenever I hit an internet site, it will load about 80% of it and stop or hang. If i refresh the page it will finish downloading it (most of the time).
This is happening to all computers accessing the router, both wireless and the one that is wired (Ethernet) in.
I know it's not the internet connection itself, as I can use it without going through the router without any issues.
I've upgraded the firmware and played with a few of the settings without resolution.
Any ideas would be helpful as this is getting fairly annoying especially as getting a Linksys was supposed to solve all my networking issues.
My info:
Router - WRT54GS v7
Firmware- 7.50.5
Connection - DSL
Computers - 6 total (although normally 3 at the most at a time) all running XP sp3.
Encryption - WEP 128
Wireless Network Mode - G (all computers are G compliant)
Thank you for your time.
Troy

Thank you for your reposes.
Tried the above suggestions to no real success.
My latest shot is that i've changed the encryption key to WPA-Personal.
It goes great guns for 2 minutes ... then sits for about 20 seconds and then goes great guns for 2 minutes.
Very frustrating.
Is it possible that I got a bad router to begin with? Is there really any way to tell?
Is it possible that one of my neighbors have a router that interferes with mine? What would cause the 2 minutes on 20 seconds off?
Thoughts?
Thank you
troy

WRT54G Router cannot connect to internet

I have Earthlink DSL and am trying to connect to the internet via the WRT54G from my Dell desktop. (Can connect to internet directly through modem just fine.)Have ethernet cable connected to DSL modem and router internet port. Have other cable connected to ethernet desktop port and port1 on router. Setup CD fails on "checking internet connection."
Per tblshooting docs:
Have changed IP to 192.168.2.1
Have changed to PPPOE, with ISP [email protected] and password.
Powered off modem, router, PC. Restarted.
Try to connect to internet--Earthlink dial-up pop-up comes up because there's no DSL connection.
Help.

On top of IE.... go to tools... internet options... then connections... then check the box that says never dial a connection.....
Go back to default 1st on the router. Start from scratch by pressing the reset button of the router for 20-30 seconds , then power down router for 10 seconds and power it back up.
The go back to the router interface (192.1681.1) and leave it as just Obtain IP Automatically or Automatic Configuration DHCP... then go to MAC Address Clone.. enable... clone... save settings... then go to the status page and tell us what is the Internet IP Address value that you see...

I've forgotten my pass-code to my Ipod touch 4g and when I try to restore and update it on my itunes library the internet connection cuts out. Is there another way to fix this problem? Cheers

I've forgotten my pass-code to my Ipod touch 4g and when I try to restore and update it on my itunes library the internet connection cuts out so this is not an option. Is there another way to fix this problem? Cheers

The only way is to connect the iPod to a computer with has an internet connection and iTunes and restore the iPod. Use as friiend's computer or make an appointment at ther Geniuds Bar of an Apple store.

WRT54G Ver 6 Internet connectivity problems

Alright so here's the deal.
I'm on Windows XP with Verizon DSL (in Orange County, CA) that uses a Westell modem (just modem, not modem and router combo).
I have the old Linksys BEFSR41 v.2 router that runs with everything fine.
I just bought the WRT54G Version 6 and connected everything up as needed. Powered things down and then back up. And it could not detect an Internet connection, but I could access the router via web browser.
- Ran the Setup CD and it couldn't find the internet.
- Upgraded the firmware.
- I searched the forums and did not find a successful solution.
- Called my ISP to confirm it is DHCP.
- Talked to Linksys Support via phone and he had me do all sorts of stuff. Releasing, Renewing, Local IP Address changes, pinging, MAC, etc. All this to try to get some sort of IP address with the internet.
- Tried it with a diff WRT54G Ver 6 (Yeah. I bought two. One for me, and one to bring to my parents), and it still didn't work. (Can't be that both the routers I got are defective.)
- Searched forums some more and ran across the EasyLink program. I used it, and it tells me my freaking Wired adaptor is disabled. Where do I enable it? Can't be my computer because it all works fine with the old Linksys router I got....or could it?
- Powered down and back up in many different combinations.
Did all that to no avail. Anyone got a solution? I couldn't find anything that worked. I'm about to go return this and get something else tomorrow. Maybe if I wake up, there will be a workable solution that is replied back.
Thanks in advance to all those that tried to help and posted something, or didn't post due to having no solution.
- Chris

Yup Yup Yup. I tried the WAN address thing and it still didn't work.
I was about to pack everything up and go return the stupid thing. BUT.....I decided to talk to Verizon DSL support since I hadn't tried that.
They helped me out good!!!
Here's the solution.
I plugged in the old router, the BEF, and went to Status to click the DHCP Release. Then unplugged the old router.
Then per Verizon DSL support instruction....powered down the modem, then powered it back up and waited for lights to stabilize. Then I plugged in the new router, the WRT. And went to Status (IP was already autofilled, with internet working) but I still clicked DHCP Renew.
It all works. WOOOOOO!!!!
By the way. The WAN address thing is important. I went to it on the new, WORKING router and disabled the WAN address. The internet stopped working. I re-entered in the WAN address I copied and the internet worked again. So......yeah.
I hope for all those out there having the same problems as me, and without a solution, see this thread and try this.
Thanks again for your guys' help.
**edit**
By the way. Is there a way to stop my internet to being a stickler to this MAC address? I'm just curious. I'm gonna go google MAC address and see if I can read anything useful.
