Wrt54gs needs to be powercyled

Hi i have a wrt54gs v 6. Every couple of hours, or sometimes days, i have to powercycle the router in order to have an ip adress assigned. Also i have found that the router setup page deteorates till the point that my request times out. I have also seen a change in the nat according to my xbox 360 connection test but im not sure if thats it. I've tried many configurations to no avail, and even a wrt54g wich had the same issue. I use roadrunner and have a touchstone telephony modem. Also i have the latest firware for my router. Please help im getting extremely fed up.

You need to reduce the MTU on this router to 1365. It seems that you don’t have Static IP on the Xbox. Assigned a static IP on it and forward the port 88 and 3074 for this IP address.

WRT54G - Need help asap!

First and foremost, thanks for helping...
I've been running into a problem with my WRT54G. When I try to access the admin page at 192.168.1.1, it will ask for the password and accept it, but then the page loads VERY slow (sometimes timing out), and if it does load... a lot of buttons/options are missing/misplaced.
This is trying to access it from any of the 3 computers connected to it (one wired, two wireless). The internet connection itself is blazing fast.... not problem there. But I need to get into the admin page to change a few of the port settings.
My ISP is Comcast, and I have ping'ed the 192.168.1.1 address with good results.
Anyone have an idea?

Try to adjust the browser settings...Open an IE, click Tools >> Internet Options, then delete all files, cookies, history, forms...Goto "Connections", make sure Never Dial a Connection is checked, click on LAN Settings and make sure all the options are unchecked...Once you are done click on O.k...Close the IE and re-open it...

Wrt54gs- need help please

I have replaced my wrk54 router with a used wrt54gs router. I got it from a someone who had no need for it since going to FOIS- I did not get the set up CD :~(
Q is there someway of setting it up with out the cd? can the set up program be downloaded for example?
Q By plugging it in and holding the reset for a minute -does that wipe out the previous config, password , does it go back to "out of the box" etc....?
Any other tips or ideas?
Thanks so much.

► reset... not really for a minute... 20-30 seconds of reset would do
► go to www.linksys.com/easy and download the EasyLink Connect Software (that more or less functions like the set-up CD)...

Wrt54g needs reset 2-3 times a day. (version 8)

okay, I am frustrated to no end. I have called tech support and they tell me it is my ISP. I call my ISP and they tell me it is my router...
I have my wrt54g hooked up to my 1.5/758k dsl. I can connect my dsl modem directly to one PC and it works beautifully. When I place the router in use and start using both my computers, I enter a world of frustration and anger.
Here are some more deatils:
My connection: Static IP, pppoe, 1.5(down), 768 (up)
my network: 2 computers, one wired, one wireless (laptop), ssid broadcast disabled, 128bit encryption.
problems: constantly lose connection, sometimes reset works, sometimes I have to do a hard reset (reset button) and re-configure router. I have tried disabling wireless and ran a cable to my laptop but the problem still exists. Tech support suggested one of my computers had a virus... I ran scans on both computers with AVG (no virus) also ran spybot, spysweeper, adaware, pestpatrol, avg-as + trendmicro (NOTHING FOUND!!!)
I tried to take this heap of worthless plastic back to bestbuy but I did not have the box or receipt and they could not look up my past purchase made on a gift card (!!!!!!)
someone please help before I take extreme measures and smash this router with a sledge hammer!!!!

Are you using any peer-to-peer (P2P) software? This is known to cause router slow downs and disconnections. Go into the P2P software and reduce the number of connections that the software can make.
You need to do a few tests on your system, to try to isolate your problem:
1) Turn off the laptop. If you have the laptop wired to your router, disconnect this wire. Wire only your wired computer to the router --- does this give you a properly working Internet connection, without disconnections?
2) Turn off your wired computer, and disconnect the ethernet wire that connects it to the router. Next, wire only the laptop to the router -- does this give you a properly working Internet connection, without disconnections?
3) Disconnect the ethernet wire from the laptop. Next connect your laptop wirelessly to the router. Does this give you a properly working Internet connection, without disconnections?
Are you using any fixed LAN IP addresses on your system? If so, list the addresses that you are using, and also state your DHCP server range.
Also, state your ISP and the make and model of your modem.
Also, has your router ever worked correctly, or is this a new setup?

WRT54G-Need to reconnect every day / firmware question

So each day my router stops connecting to the internet. I go through the same troubleshooting wizard, and each time all I do is unplug and plug back in the router as per it's directions. While this works, I don't want to do it every day. I'm trying to download the firmware for it, but I guess I'm not used to downloading firmware for things because the download is trying to run on a flash player on my computer >. I thought they were supposed to be executables? T.I.A. all.

Well, I updated the firmware, but still it has reset again today. The usual message I get when I open Easylink Advisor is "Different Network Detected". It can't connect to the internet, and I need to setup my network again, detecting my router, entering Network Name and unplugging the power so it will find it again. This computer doesn't connect to it wirelessly, it's a direct connection, and none of the cords and cables are ever touched, all of them are always plugged in. Nothing is being done wrong, it connects fine until one point during the day then it just stops and I need to go through the setup again. Anybody recognize the problem? Thanks.

WRT54GS Need Help

Hi, I'm currently using a new Dell computer with a cable modem and Linksys router, WRT54GS with speed booster. The main computer is hard wired to the router and I have internet . I have been trying to connect to the internet on my other wireless Dell computer which is using a USB network adapter #WUSB54GS. My wireless icon on the wireless computer shows an excellent connection, but I cannot connect to the internet. I have spent several hours on line with the Linksys Technicians trying to solve this problem. I was told that the router was a problem and I have returned it for a new one. Both computers are using windowsXP. Does anyone have a clue? Could it b e the new computer or modem preventing the wireless from getting connected to the internet?
skihouse

no...the modem cannot prevent the wireless getting connected to the internet..as one of your computers is already online through the router, that means the modem and the router are functioning.....it could be the adapter that is not installed correctly...
as you have windows xp, try this :
uninstall the adapter completely and install only the drivers....allow windows to manage the wireless connection...also ensure that you do not have any static ip assigned to that computer..
let me know if it helps you....

WRT54G need advice

hi. i have a WRT54G router and have used it successfully for several years. i have misplaced my password to log on to the web page where security settings and such are modified (192.168.1.1). can anyone suggest a course of action? am i screwed? do i have to reset the router and start from scratch all over again? i can not get past the WRT54G logon request screen and none of the passwords i've tried has worked. linksys customer service spent 30 minutes asking me questions to determine the problem then informed me i'd have to pay them for any help. i don't have the cash to do so at present an would appreciate any useful suggestions.
thanks.

If you do not know the password to login into the router's setup page then,you have to reset the router and re-configure it from scratch.Reset the router for 30 seconds,power cycle it and follow this link if you have cable ISP and this link if you have DSL ISP.

WRT54GS Need help, interesting security problem

Hi All,
New to this community, so I hope that my description is understandable. Plus, I've been reading with ernest, am totally confused and wish someone could just tell me "this is how you fix this: Step 1..." but it never seems to happen that way.
1. WRT54GS Wireless Router, (not sure of the version because my setup page says one thing and the bottom says different) was originally setup with a Gateway Desktop, longer than 5 yrs ago.
2. Currently the host computer is a Dell. We have 1 wireless laptop, 2 netbooks, 1 iPod, and 2 wireless printers in a home network.
The main problem is getting online (I never know how many devices will try to do something at the same time) with the router (keeps saying that the "Security" is Open"). I've tried to setup new networks, resulting in the same problem. Is it possible to just remove the Dell from the network or could the wireless laptop become the host computer? And could someone explain to me how to do that? The last time I tried to change the security on the router, (I believe that WEP is what the Dell set it at and I was trying to change it to a higher level), I got a notification that not all the devices were the same, security could not be changed. Help, I just want us all to be able to use a secure network!!

If you are not sure of the version why don't you post what is printed on the bottom and what is shown on the setup page?

Where does it say "security is open" exactly? What page? Where? When?
Go to the setup page of the router. Wireless and Wireless Security. Post your current settings on those two pages. That will show how your wireless is configured.
We'll take it from there...

WRT54GS:Needs Resetting every day to work

There is no Version on the unit but when using the browser it says: V.4.70.6 (5/26/2005). It looks like there is another version 4.20.7 with a later date but I cant find it? Does anyone have suggestions on what I should do???? Thanks so much... Skip

Hi huisking,
Well i wont suggest you to follow it blindly. Just try locating hardware version number one more time carefully.
When you go to www.linksys.com/download and type model number of router. And go to the downloads for your router.
It will show you how to locate version number of your router.
Once you get it, then you can check the latest firmware and update it.

New owner of a WRT54G need help!

So here is the deal I put the disk in and download the Lala then I click setups and set the name for the router then I click my router on the next step but when I click next nothing happens? Sorry if this is a newbish question but I never owned a wireless router so if somebody can help me out here the pic of the setup http://i26.tinypic.com/2mgm4nt.jpg

Sometimes the firewall blocks the setup to continue .... so in such case ...disablethe firewall & antivirus software on the computer ....
Exit out of setup wizard .... again open the setup ...see if it works or not..
If not you can download the setup wizard from http://linksys.com/download ...

WRT54G Need Help ASAP Please

so i had my router setup and working fine and all with a static ip, which was used for internet gaming... then today im the middle of playing it decided to come up with an error with the router. i had this computer wired for setup then went wireless. it says that i have full signal but the internet is not available.. does anyone have any idea what the heck is going on???
Message Edited by icmorhinee on 01-12-200705:26 PM

Hi...
The static IP that you were using was it on the router or on the computer ? In case if you are using a static IP on your router, make sure that the IP is valid. TO verify the IP address setting connect the computer to the modem directly...Assign the IP address, Subnet Mask, Default gateway and DNS server on the computer. Make sure that the computer is able to go online. In case if the computer is unable to go online make sure that the IP address is correct.
If the computer is able to go online with the static IP. Disconnect the computer from the modem. reset router. set the computer back to DHCP. open Internet explorer ……in the address bar type http://192.168.1.1 (default IP address). Leave the username field blank and in the password type “admin” ( Default Password). Now configure the router with the IP address setting. Also set the MTU to1300. Make all the wireless setting required. Powercycle the whole network.
In case if the static IP address is on the computer , make sure that u are able to ping the router . Also check all the wireless setting on the router and make sure that your connected with the same.

WRT54G-|EE NZ Telecom needs PPPoE

My WRT54G was bought as I was leaving the uk for perminent residence in New Zealand. It has never been setup until today when I finally got round to try and get it running.
The idea is to replace my existing DLINK (DSL-G604T) currently working fine (ish?) with my ADSL2+ service with NZ Telecom.
The supplied setup programme runs ok until we reach the point where the WRT54G needs to connect to the ADSL line. It fails the auto setup and I am left with a screen asking for the connection type. All this is as I expected - but NZ Telecom wants PPPoA and the option with my Lynksys only provide for PPPoE.
Is there anyway round this? A different setup disk? A download? Firmware upgrade? My WRT is version 1 by the way.
I sort of expected this (or something like it) to happen - and the DLINK is working. But it would be nice to get the WRT running so I can start on the serious business of setting up my wireless music streaming to work 100%.
Any comments gratefully received.
jon

Never use the setup CD as they don't work that well. Connect via wired computer to 192.168.1.1 username blank, password 'admin'. Now configure the router manually like everyone.

WRT54G Wireless Router Setup Help Needed

Hi,
I have a WRT 54G router I want to set up on my network.
What I want to be able to do is have the router allow wireless laptops to connect via wireless, but I want the router to assign the IP automatically through DHCP. Is this possible?
My Network information is as follows:
Router would be assigned IP 192.168.72.10
Network information for Office where this is going:
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.72.1
Primary DNS: 192.168.1.59
Secondary DNS: 192.168.1.52
any help would be appreciated...

First of all, let me say that, assuming you have a Linksys router in the main office, that there is no reason why that router could not use both fixed LAN IP addresses, and have its DHCP server turned on and give out DHCP addresses also. So, it seems like you could setup the system in the manner I mentioned in my previous post.   Unless, for some reason, you prefer not to do it this way.
If you really want to set it up with the WRT54G giving out DHCP addresses, then read on:
If you want to use the DHCP server in the WRT54G, you will need to place it on a separate subnet.
I'm still a bit confused by what you have written. You said that the WRT54G router "would be assigned IP 192.168.72.10". And later you said that my assumption was correct that you set the "Local IP Address" to this value.   However, if you want to use the DHCP server in the WRT54G, this will not work, because to use the DHCP server, the WRT54G needs to be on a separate subnet.
Instead, in the WRT54G, you would need to set the "Internet Connection Type" to "Static", then give the WRT54G the WAN address (not local IP address) of 192.168.72.10.   (You will also need to specify the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 , default gateway 192.168.72.1 , and DNS (proxy) server 192.168.72.1 ) You would need to reset the WRT54G's "Local IP address" to a subnet that is not used elsewhere in your network. Since you apparently already use 192.168.1.x and 192.168.72.x subnets, you will need to pick something else, perhaps 192.168.54.1 for the "local IP address" of the WRT54G.
In this type of setup, you would leave the DHCP server of the WRT54G enabled, and wire a LAN port from the office router to the Internet port of the WRT54G.
In this case, the WRT54G is in control of all your router settings, including port forwarding, DHCP server, and wireless settings. Also note that if you need to forward a port, you will need to forward the port through your entire network, not just the WRT54G.
One additional warning. I have not personally used a "3 subnet" system with Linksys routers. So I am not certain that all your DNS addresses will flow through the system properly. If it doesn't work, you may need to enter some of you actual Internet based DNS addresses (or perhaps your Primary and Secondary 192.168.1.59 and .52 DNS servers) into the WRT54G router by hand, rather than using the built in Linksys DNS proxy at 192.168.72.1
Hope this helps.
