WRT54GS issues. Help!

So I have a WRT54GS, and I've had it for about a year. The other day, my internet suddenly went down so my ISP gave me a new router, but no luck. I tried all the basic steps of troubleshooting, and made sure that the firmware is up to date. This morning, I tried directly connecting my PC and laptop to the modem, and there was internet. I'm guessing that the problem is my router since I have connection when I don't use the router. Any thoughts and suggestions?! Tnx.

Let me know the detials of your Internet Service provider...

    You're probably running into the servers simply being swamped. Thousands of people are all going for the software update at the same time. Give it a try again and if that doesn't work, then try plugging it into your computer and trying it that way.
    I didn't get a notion of the size, it doesn't seem to be as big as the 700 meg 5.0 update, but it did take me 20+ minutes to download via cable internet so it's a large file. That in and of itself takes a while.
    If you're trying to download it directly to your iPhone, you'll need to be on wifi since I'm sure it's well over the 20 meg file size limit for 3G.

  • WRT54G Version 3.1 Connection Issues - Help Please

    Good Morning,
    We have a WRT54G Version 3.1. Our existing network is wired and functions fine, I am adding the WRT54G for a few wireless clients.
    During testing I have connected the wireless to my computer via CAT5 cable to port 1. I have connected another CAT5 cable to the internet port of the router from a known good wall jack.
    When I first open the default address 192.168.1.1 and enter the password, all seems well. Due to having servers that hand out IP addresses, I disable the routers DHCP capability.
    I enter the following information for example:
    Local IP: 81.0.0.90
    Gateway: 81.0.0.1
    Subnet: 255.255.255.0
    DHCP disabled
    etc.
    After changing the the local IP and receiving a confirmation that my changes were saved and I will be going back to the previous page, the page won't display with the address changed to 81.0.0.90 and it is blank.
    I release my IP address through cmd, clear my dns cache and reboot the computer. After restart, I am presented with the stock MS address of 169.254.X.X.
    I cannot connect to the local IP I established at 81.0.0.90 and nothing appears to work. The only thing I can do is reset the router and start from scratch...again.
    Any ideas on what keeps happening and how it can be resolved once and for all?
    Thanks in advance

    even if you have two DHCP enabled on both routers in your network, you will not get an IP adress conflict (exception of course if you're cascading two wireless routers).
    a LAN port (ethernet router) to WAN port (wireless router) connection can be established allowing you to have both DHCP server enabled on your routers.
    by doing the LAN to WAN connection, you will have two networks in a network.. both network won't meet cuz they will have different IP adress... router 1: could be 81.0.0.90, then router 2 could be 81.0.0.91.
    if you want your two routers to meet and be in the network together, you just need to follow QUAK's suggestion to assign a static IP adress on your PC. or better yet, you can just connect the router you're disabling the DHCP server with to it's LAN port from a LAN port as well of your DHCP server (router 1). this is a LAN to LAN connection... by doing that, you will be able to open up the interface of your router 2(DHCP disabled) since your PC connected to it will get an IP adress...

  • WRT54GS V.6 Issue/help!!!

    Alright i have an issue where my wireless router is blocking microsoft and anti-virus websites from d/ling. Also cannot d/l updates for any programs that are connected to mircosoft in anyway. I thought it was a virus but that went away once i cleaned out my whole pc, thought it was my internet provider but since everything works fine if i connect the enternal cord directly to my pc. My internet is from comcast and i have been having this problem for months now. Is there anyway i can fix this issue?

    Man I thought for sure the Act light would be out for sure....
    Unless you have a really complicated network set up at your house I would just do a hard reset and see if that fixes it.
    Hold the reset button for 30sec and unplug the power cable for 1min, Then reconfigure the router the way you like it.
    Default username and password is "admin" if that does not work leave the username blank and put "admin" in for password.
    GoodLuck

  • Router & Outlook Express Issues - help!

    I'm losing my mind and pulling out my hair. I have a Dell desktop and recently purchased a Linksys WRT54G (version 5) router and a brand-spanking new Dell wireless notebook (Inspiron E1505).
    After installing the router on my desktop - we noticed some server issues with our email system (Outlook Express). I'm not having connectivitity issues as we can connect to Internet Explorer fine. BUT, when I go to Send/Receive in Outlook express to send/receive emails it is 'acting quirky'. This is on both desktop and notebook computers but more on the new notebook. It inconsistently pulls mail. Sometimes it works great and sometimes it has a server time out and just hangs on. Mostly getting that 'PoP3 servers is not responding. Would you like to wait for 60 seconds'. If I shut down Outlook and retry, sometimes it pulls/sends mail - sometimes not. I've been on the phone with my DSL provider (Alltel, now Windstream) and Linksys. Additionally the modem we're using is speedstream.
    Suppposedly there is a conflict with the version 5 model of Linksys routers and Outlook Express. I heard this through my DSL provider - Linksys didn't really own up to this 'conflict'. I've done tons of troubleshooting with Linksys tech (opened Outlook Express ports, updated firmware, adjusted MTU...) Nothing working. Email will work 'ok' for an hour but then back to quirkyness...not pulling email great. Not 'connecting to server great'. When I click SEND in Outlook it just keeps saying 'connecting to pop.windstream.net and then a pop up window saying "Your POP3 server has not responded in 60 seconds....would you like to stop/wait'.
    I'm considering returning my router and getting another brand but don't want to jump the gun until I'm 120% sure that it's a conflict with the new Linksys router and Outlook Express and I cannot do anything to fix it. My next door neighbor is in the SAME boat. Same router, same DSL provider, new wireless notebook -same Outlook Express mail issues. Thank you for any thoughts you might have - again, I've done extensive trouble shooting with my DSL provider and Linksys - to no avail. .....

    This worked for myself...(Thanks Isy B)
    * Go back to the router's 'Setup' page (192.168.1.1). and to the 'Advanced' tab
    * Click on the 'Forwarding' tab
    * Under the 'Customized Application' type: Outlook 3 times.
    * Then on 'Ext. Port', type: 25 to 25, 110 to 110 and 113 to 113.
    * Put a check in 'Protocol TCP' and one in 'Enable' at the end
    * Click Apply button at the bottom of page
    Now in Outlook Express (may be different if using outlook)
    * Tools and then Accounts - a window will open, make sure you are on the mail tab
    * Highlight mail account and hit Properties
    * Goto the Advance tab
    * Verify Outgoing mail (SMTP) = 25 &Incoming mail (POP3) = 110
    * Make sure nothing else is checked
    * Hit o.k.
    This worked for myself, hope it's helpful for some others as well...

  • WRT54G issue

    Hello. First time posting here and I know next to nothing when it comes to routers and stuff, so sorry if this has been asked before.
    We have a WRT54G router from probably around 2005. Our ISP is KMTelecom (a local one, and we're about as far away from it as possible, resulting in a mediocre and inconsistent connection). They gave us a BEC Technologies modem and yesterday, seemingly out of the blue, all our wireless stuff stopped working. My Xbox Live wouldn't connect (which means I can't play my Black Ops DLC), and my laptop was stuck with the yellow exclamation symbol that I believe means something like "there is a network present, but it can't be connected to" and indeed I could not access the internet from my laptop. The same happens on my dad's computer.
    We tried restarting it, but to no avail. This morning, he called me from work and had me plug the ethernet cable from the router in to my laptop, and lo and behold, I got access and am posting from it right now. He thinks that means there is an issue with the router, which makes sense to me, but like I said, I really don't know. I know about 192.168.1.1 and have it up right now, but I don't have a clue where to begin and I'm not about to go in to my router settings and just wing it.
    I'm simply at a loss for what to do. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    You can access the Internet when you connect the laptop to the router with the Ethernet cable. That means the wired connection to the router is working but not the wireless.
    Try creating a new wireless network and see if that works.
    Open the setup page of the router using  192.168.1.1.
    Go to Wireless tab and change the wireless network name SSID , change the wireless channel to 11. Save the settings.
    Go to Wireless security tab and check the wireless security settings. Note down the password if there is any.
    Go to Advanced wireless settings sub tab. Change the Beacon interval to 75, RTS and fragmentation threshold to 2304. Save the settings.
    Go to Setup tab and change the MTU size to 1365. Save the settings and power cycle the router.
    Now try to connect to the new wireless network on your laptop and Xbox.

  • Webmail - WRT54G issue?

    Hi,
    I am presently running a v5 WRT54G router with the most recent firmware upgrades. Beginning a week ago, my ability to access my university webmail has declined precipitiously. The inbox page is extremely slow to load, and the server often times out. Individual messages are the same. This issue occasionally affects my other web-based email accounts, but much less dramatically and often.
    There are no known issues with the university's IT. They identified a series of potential issues, all of which I have tested and dismissed, save for my home network. These other issues included virus, XP update, firewall, and so on conflicts.  
    The issue is present on both my Thinkpad and my Dell desktop. I am running XP; my ISP is Comcast Cable.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. If I need to provide more info, please let me know.
    Cheers, bw  

    Logon to router’s setup page and reduce MTU to 1365, also try triggering 25 to 110 on router… check whether it makes any difference or not…

  • CS4 Text Wrap issue - HELP!

    HELP!  I taught myself PageMaker 6.5 and I got REALLY good at the basics, but not so great at the in-depth things.  Consequently, when I upgraded to InDesign CS4, the same holds true, so please feel free to treat me like a 2-year-old in your explanations.  Now for my dilemma:
    I create a quarterly magazine.  Most of the pages are 2- or 3-column spreads.  Many times, a photograph (and its caption) will span more than just one column, but not necessarily the entire width of two.  In other words, my photo could span all of column 1 and 1/2 of column 2, with the text flowing to the right of the photograph, then expanding to fill all of column no. 2 beneath it.  In PageMaker, when I text-wrapped around the pic, leaving enough bottom text wrap to insert my captioning, the text would wrap perfectly, keeping the text in perfect alignment horizontally across the columns.  That, in turn, kept the bottom edge of all my columns exactly equal. 
    In InDesign, however, that's not the case. The text doesn't align equally horizontally across the columns, hence ruining my clean horizontal text margin at the bottom.  This happens any time I have a photo that spans all of one and part of one (or two, in the case of a centered photograph) column.  In fact, even if I place a photo that fits within just one column, the horizontal text alignment gets screwed up.  I'm attaching a .pdf of page 35 of the issue I'm working on to show you what I mean.
    I've tried choosing all three columns and clicking the "align top edges," but that just drags all three columns up to the 1/2 inch margin at the top of the page, and my text actually starts 1/4" beneath that (3/4" from the top page edge) because of the page numbering, and when I drag all three columns back down to the 3/4" mark, the wrapping gets all screwed up again.  So I tried "align bottom edges," and that didn't work either (it worked to a point... anything that actually had text flowing to the bottom of the column was fine, the same thing occurred then above the column with a photo spanning all of it.  Geez, I'm confused just trying to explain it.  Hopefully, the attached .pdf will help make sense of this.  
    Consequently, I'm moving columns manually for this issue (all 60 pages of it), because it has to be at the printers by the end of the weekend and I'm just plain out of time.  If anyone can give me some guidance so I don't have to do this again next time, I'd really appreciate it.
    You can email me at [email protected] if you have any ideas. Thanks for your help.
    Barb

    Thanks so much to both Peter and Bob.  I'm sure this will fix the problem.  At least I know it wasn't something I was doing wrong and it really is a glitch in the program.  I'll play with the baseline grid, since it seems that will be the best option. I have a few months to experiment with it before the next issue goes to press.
    Does setting a preference act like a default?  In other words, will it then apply to all pages in all new documents I create or is it specific to the document in which I'm working when I set it? If the latter, I'm guessing I can just include it when I set up my master page so it will apply throughout the issue?  Which, of course brings me to yet another question: how do I save my Master Pages so I don't have to redo them with each issue?
    I'm finding that the majority of InDesign is a lot more user-friendly and easier to navigate than the old PageMaker -- many fewer steps for the same end result.  I hope to take a class if I can find one in my area, because I'm certain I'm doing many things the "hard way."  Learning as you go is okay, but you miss a lot of the finer points along the way and spend entirely too much time trying to figure things out or bugging people like you in this forum.
    I apologize if some of what I ask seems rather elementary. 
    And Scott, sorry, but I've always felt that, out of all the fonts available, Comic Sans is the most readable.

  • DVR/STB/Remote issues - Help Needed

    New to Verizon FIOS (Installed about 2 weeks ago).  Have a few issues. Any help is appreciated
    1) When im on the Home Media DVR and i fast forward through a program, when i stop or hit play, an extremely loud beep that lasts for 1-3 seconds comes from the speakers.  How do i get this to stop, what is causing it, etc?
    2) When i fast forward from one of the STB (regular HD box), if i hit FF once, it fast forwards pretty slow, if i hit it again, it goes somewhat faster.  The problem is.  When i hit it that 2nd time, it seems that 70-80% of the time, it jumps me back to an early portion of the program.  I.E.  Was watching the 2 hour episode of "24", was one hour and 20 min in, got to commercials, i hit FF twice and it jumped me back to 23 minutes in.  Tried again at next commercial break and it jumped me back to 11 minutes in.  What is the deal here?  How do i fix it?
    3) Are there only 2 fast forward speeds on STB?  I came from Brighthouse that had 4 speeds, im a little disappointed with only 2 speeds.  Can anyone verify?
    4) The remotes seem to take 2 seconds or so to register when performing any function other than changing channels.  When i hit FF or REW, DVR or Last, it seems to take a few seconds to kick in.  Is this a known issue, or possibly my box or remotes?
    Thanks for any and all help

    Sorry the ff speeds are the same. On the main MR-DVR there are 3 ff speeds, where the remote STB has 2 ff speeds. I think they did that because how the remote system works, it has slower responses being remote. But with the update you will not need to worry about the ff, because you will not get the hub error. I was one of the first people to get the update and I have not seen the hub error yet.
    As far as a time frame I don't believe there is any thing public about it, I think the only thing they have said is it is going to be rolled out per market, and one market a week. But nothing on the order of the markets.  

  • Officejet Pro 8600 Plus connection issue - HELP!

    I have a strange issue:  after some hours, the communication link is dropped between the computer and printer.  When this happens, IE becomes unusable and will not connect to anything.  This is replicated on three XP home machines.   The fourth, a vista ultimate machine, does not seem to be affected (yet).  I get the "scan to computer is disabled" error.  It cannot be re-enabled.  At this point I cannot print either.  I can reach the embedded web server on the printer via firefox and can still surf using firefox.  I can ping the printer, but again once the connection is dropped, no printing or scanning to the computer.  The only thing I've found that resolves the issue (temporarily) is to reboot the computer, which just starts the cycle again.
    last night I installed the software on an XP machine and the laptop to test when the connection dropped.  They lasted from 7pm Monday until I got home at 5pm Tues.  The machines were not used.  Once I started using them (firefox only), then they dropped the connection within a half hour of each other around 7pm.  The other XP machine lasted from 7pm Mon until 7am tues, when my wife started using it and then noticed it dropped sometime that tues between 7 and 9AM.  An 11am tues reboot ran OK until 10 pm tues when connection was lost again (and IE is now dead).   The Vista machine has been running since 7pm monday until now (930pm tues) and still seems to be holding.
    printer hardwired, to router, static IP, 100-full link speed (also tried 10-half)
    router dlink di-655
    two XP machines are hardwired, vista is hardwired, and last xp machine is a laptop on wireless.
    I've swapped cables rebooted and reinstalled multiple times.  I must have a file a mile long on the support phone line.  They were unable to fix it.  I asked this to be escalated, but who knows when I'll get a response.
    I've toggled firewalls - XP built in
    I've uninstalled anti virus software
    I've even put up with crazy suggestions from tech support like changing the router channel (uhh, it is wired!)
    one xp machine had an AIO 4215 hooked via USB and the others printed to it via network, but the printer has been deleted from the networked machines.
    I can ping 127.0.0.1 which is supposed to indicate the tcp service is OK.
    I have not reset winsock .. I can see one machine being bad, but three????
    malware / virus scan shows no issues.  Again one maybe, but three??
    The only thing I can think of is that there is something in the XP networking stack that conflicts with the new 8600 software as hours pass.  Perhaps there is some polling operation that goes on then dies after some time, then it kills IE as it dies.
    When the printer works it is great, but rebooting is not a permanent solution to this.
    any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!  I am stumped and so is tech support.  They are sending it to engineering, but who knows when they will respond.
    thanks in advance.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    well it looks like I have a working solution  ... I downloaded a freeware file called process.exe .  I made a cmd file via notepad with the following contents:
    rem this is to keep the HP network printer communicating with the desktops
    rem
    process -k "hpnetworkcommunicator.exe"
    rem
    process -k "scantopcactivationapp.exe"
    rem
    "C:\Program Files\HP\HP Officejet Pro 8600\Bin\HPNetworkcommunicator.exe"
    rem
    Start "" "C:\Program Files\HP\HP Officejet Pro 8600\Bin\ScanToPCActivationApp.exe" -deviceID CNXXXX:NW -scfn "HP Officejet Pro 8600 (Network)"
    the XXXX is your printer serial number with an extra character or two.  Pull that number from the port tab after you pull up "properties" for the 8600 printer.
    This cmd file basically restarts the printer link.  It opens a command window that launches the program to re-establish the link.. then it closes the command window.   The launched program shows that the communication link is dead (just for a few seconds), but then it makes the connection... THEN you hit the close button and coninue your work until it dies again. 
    I may have it autorun every X hours if I can narrow down a good time.  Until then I have a shortcut on the desktop to "FIX HP LINK"   ...   I only had to do this for my XP machines, as the vista one seemed OK.
    What ticks me off is that I shouldn't have to do all of this diagnosis. It would be nice if there is a fix in the pipeline so the link stays stable al the time.  I've spent hours trying to figure this crap out.
    Anyhow, I hope the time I spent helps someone.  PS, thanks to the OJ6500 thread that had the info for the scantopcactivationapp.exe program.
    PS  ...  I'm still waiting for an engineer to contact me, if any HP employees are reading this.
    PSS  I haven't tried this without killing and restarting the hpnetworkcommunicator stuff, but it works for now.

  • Authorization issue - help request

    Hi guys,
    One of the consultants is having an authorization issue ( He is not abele to run a t-code)

    Regards,
    Vamsi.

    Hi Vamsi,
    SU53 shows us the last failed authorization for a user. However, it might not only be the failed authorization object failed.
    Hence, "just to learn" , you can use transaction ST01 to enable and run a trace for particular users. Be sure to use in a test environment first, and with proper filters. (for a particular user only).
    Then check-> which auth object is failing.
    RC=4 means a object value is failing.
    RC=12 means an object is missing!
    Check, which tcode is calling that object and this tcode is present in which role. Then.........proceed.
    You can check the SAP documentation on running traces on the help portal of SAP.  I think you will find the answer yourself by troubleshooting more and may be massaging some test roles here and there!
    Likewise, if you are new to security, I would encourage you to start by reading some books on SAP security. Authorizations made easy is a good book to start with.
    Let me know if you have any questions
    EOD for me :P . take care

  • Hi I have copied over my iTunes to a new PC and now there are songs missing and when try to re download on iTunes it says play. When you hit play it sends you off to search for a file that doesn't exist. When syncing it says 100 issues Help please

    Hi,
    I have just put my iTunes on a new laptop by hard drive method and some songs are not there. When I go into iTunes it's doesn't say download or purchase it says play.
    So you press play and it opens a separate box saying search for file which isn't there.
    I have read tons of stuff re this but still not got it fixed. It's not a HD issue because iTunes won't let me download it why ?
    Hopefully someone can help
    Thanks David

    Hey Davidl678,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are unable to download the purchases from your purchase history, because iTunes believes the songs to be in your library. It may be necessary to delete the items from your library, then re-download from your purchase history. Before doing so, you may want to take note of which song are available for re-download:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Delete songs, playlists, or other items
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12359
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store

  • Ipod Touch: My Issues, help needed as fast as possible

    Well recently i got an Ipod Touch 2nd Generation for christmas, and i must say i love it. But i have got some serious problems. 1) all applications that were not standard on the itouch crash unexpectedly and the only way to rectify this issue is to download something from the app store and they work again :S. Yes that is as bizarre as it sounds. Sometimes it will work fine and i can use any of my apps whenever i like. But frequently(more frequently as time goes on) the applications dont open, i touch them they open the background for the app and they take me back to the main screen. I have tried the following: reseting the iPod, restoring it to factory settings, uninstalling apps and then re-installing and this issue is resolute. I also happen to know that some other 2nd Generation Touch owners at my school have the very same issue. I have seen some threads dotted about explaining their issues that are similar to this, meaning its fairly widespread.
    My second issue is really bugging me, i opened the itunes store for the first time on my iPod(i never get any of my music from itunes normally i detest the application.) and all of a sudden it downloaded a podcast without me telling it to. It was called Podhead: The DoorWhores Off to vegas. This is something i really do not wish to have on my iPod. So i synced it to my windows OS and tried to re-sync the iPod's podcasts with my library so that it would dissappear. But it didn't, i then tried setting it to manually putting files on my ipod and alas it doesnt show up in the podcasts sub section of the device. I tried playing the podcast and it takes me to the home screen of my ipod with the Play triangle flickering constantly in the top right of my ipod. I don't know what is going on with that but i havnt restored it to factory settings after this issue, mainly because my iPod refuses to accept that i own all of the apps i have backed up and i have no desire to manually re-download them to my ipod.
    3) That last scentence brings me nicely onto my final problem which is this: my computer tells me that i do not have the authority to put onto my ipod. Despite all of them being free and despite all of them having being backed up from my ipod.
    Any help with these issues would be much appreciated. I am in desperate need of assistance before i come to the end of my tether and resign myself to a long trip to the nearest apple store. thanks in advance

    Did you try to restore your iPod to factory settings and add your apps one by one to find out which app causes the crash? Try not to restore from a backup it may contain the corrupt parts you don't want to install again.

  • Basic tiger server printing to network printer issues - HELP :)

    Hi everyone, Im after some help as im running out of ideas, here is my basic setup: (sorry i have rambled on a bit
    current 192.168.0.x network that has ADSL, PC's HP Laserjet 5Si network printer.
    Connected to that is my Tiger server with 2 lan ports, one is connected to that network and the other connected to a switch where I run all my macs - the server is a basic file and software update server.
    macs connected to the server get a 192.168.2.x address and can access the internet and each other etc - all is happy.
    now - I had my personal macbook pro connected directly to the first network to access the printer, works fine and fairly quickly but was unable to access the server (i imagine because the server thinks i was from the big bad internet from the .0.x range
    once i connected to the other network served by the mac server i could access all the files fine but printing would not work, so i thought I would have the server access the printer as it has access to both networks and just share it to the local macs.
    well when i add it and put in the 192.168.0.71 address it connects and loads the GIMP HP5si driver, but when it tried to print it takes up to 5 mins to show that its finished, but only sometimes does the printer actually fire up, and the times it did it never printed the whole page...
    The only thing i can think of is that the server is trying to print to the .0.x address'ed printer but using the .2.x address range, possibly confusing the systems.., im not too familiar with all the firewall/NAT settings ,i think i have everything turned off, but its still not working..
    If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated, im not sure what else to do.
    Thank you for your time

    This sounds more like a protocol or a driver issue rather than an addressing issue. Which protocol is being used to connect to the printer? You mention the GIMP driver gets loaded, which I read that it's an automatic function rather than you having to manually browse to the driver.
    Also, I would look at trying the Gutenprint drivers from Sourceforge rather than the included GIMP-Print.
    The other thing would be to check the cups error log on the server. It could give some clues as to why the spool file is taking so long.
