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.

  • Problems with accessing Internet through router (permanent IP)

    Hi.
    I changed hostname with sys-unconfig. Now computer has permanent IP address (non DHCP) and right hostname.
    Before this change I had access to Internet (hostname: "unknown" and DHCP).
    My computers access Internet through router.
    There is ping from my computer to router and another computer. Also other computer pings my computer.
    In DHCP tables my computer does not exist.
    I created file /etc/defaultrouter with IP of my router.
    Trying to access Internet, web browser (Mozilla) writes: "<site.com> could not be found. Please check name and try afain."
    I think there is a problem with DNS.
    How to configure my computer on Solaris 10 to access the Internet with current configuration?
    Thank you.

    To test DNS services without a browser (ie, to see if the
    system can be a DNS client), first use the command
    'nslookup'
    # /usr/sbin/nslookup sun.com
    Server: miki-class-gla.eclecticgroup.co.uk
    Address: 10.23.0.1
    Non-authoritative answer:
    Name: sun.com
    Address: 72.5.124.61
    # /usr/sbin/nslookup google.com
    Server: miki-class-gla.eclecticgroup.co.uk
    Address: 10.23.0.1
    Non-authoritative answer:
    Name: google.com
    Addresses: 64.233.167.99, 64.233.187.99, 72.14.207.99
    If this doesn't work, then your system isn't talking to a
    DNS server at all at all, so you need to check the contents
    of /etc/resolv.conf.
    If it does work, use the command 'getent' to check that your
    system as a whole is querying DNS for name-IP resolution.
    EG.
    # getent hosts sun.com
    72.5.124.61 sun.com
    # getent hosts google.com
    64.233.187.99 google.com
    72.14.207.99 google.com
    64.233.167.99 google.com
    If you don't get back IP addresses, your system isn't
    correctly configured as a DNS client.
    Look at /etc/nsswitch.conf, and find the line
    that starts 'hosts'.
    If it says
    hosts files
    then the system is not a DNS client.
    To correct this, edit that line to add the word dns on the end:
    hosts files dns
    That's it. No need to reboot.

  • EasyLink Advisor cannot detect WRT300N on wired computer

    Upgraded my router to WRT300N with a WRT150N running as an access point.  Laptops are now running just fine both base and access point.  Wired computer has Internet, Network drive access, and can access the router setup (192.168.1.1).
    Trying to load the EasyLink Advisor.  It cannot detect the router.  The setup is cable modem to switch, cat5  to ethernet card to computer.  Even tried bringing the modem to the computer and direct connecting. Still no luck.
    The EasyLink Advisor is verison 1.6.0032
    The WRT300N router is version 1.1 with firmware 1.51.2
     Please help.

  • IMac cannot cannect to internet through Router

    Hello,
    I have an iMac G5, latest OS Tiger, Windows XP PC, Linksys WRT54Gv5 wireless broadband router, and DSL modem. The PC connects to the Linksys router, along with the DSL Modem. The iMac is connected wireless to Linksys router. I have no problems sharing documents, but the iMac will not access the internet. What is wrong?
    Thanks!

    See the appropriate link below for your broadband provider. Sometimes it helps to reset the router pressing in the Reset button on the back of the router for at least 30 seconds while the router is powered on and starting the configuration from scratch.
    Setting up a Linksys router for DSL Internet connection
    Setting up a Linksys router with Cable Internet service
    If using AT&T DSL, depending on the modem used there may be a conflict between the AT&T DSL modem an the Linksys router. This occurs if the modem tries to hand out the IP address 192.168.1.1 to the router's WAN/Internet port. If this is the case, log into the administration page of the Linksys router and change the Local IP Address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.2.1, save the settings, then power cycle both the router and any clients connected to the router.

  • Can't connect to internet through router

    I have a WRT54G v6. I can connect to the internet when directly connecting through my cable modem. When using a wired or wireless connection through the router, I can connect to the router, have an IP address and DNS Server, have followed all the troubleshooting steps from linksys and still cannot get online. Have tried using windows xp and max os x. Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance for any assistance!!!

    This worked for me maybe it will for you. Power everything down including your modem and router. Then power up the router, wait 2 minutes, and them power up the modem, wait  2 minutes and laslty power up your computer and try your connection. It's an agaonizingly simple slution to a problem that i worked on for 12 hours straight. Hope it helps.

  • Can't connect to the internet through router

    I have an HP Pavillian DV6 laptop, DSL connection through ATT, a Linksys wireless N router.  It had been working fine for abourt 7 months, Then all of a sudden I lost my network connection.  I clicked in the right hand corner to connect to the network & it was gone.  I have tried to re-run the software for the router & I get to where it wants to connect to the internet & it won't.  I have tried to log into the router to run the setup on the internet explorer page using 192.168.1.1 I now can find my network, I click connect, it says it is connected, but no internet.  I can connect to the internet if I plug the modem directly into my laptop, but once I connect from the modem to the router, it will not connect to the internet. I have been searching HP, CIsco, & even my maker of my wirelkess card to see if there were any driver updates.  My wireless card says it is up to date.  I tried to rest my BIOS, that didn't help either.  I'm stumped, & I've spent entirely too much time trying to figure this out with no success, PLEASE HELP!!!!! 

    Reset your router to defaults. Here's the procedure.
    Reconfigure the router so it would connect to the internet. Here's the procedure.
    Reconfigure your wireless settings. Here's the procedure. I suggest you set your SSID to something unique. In addition, set your wireless security to WPA or WPA2. Don't use WEP as it is insecure.

  • Mac connected on internet through router on PC

    My Mac (g4, tiger 10.4.4) is connected to the internet with an Ethernet cable that goes into a router connected on a PC (Windows XP). The PC is next door.
    The PC receives Internet and sends it to me afterwards through the router. Now, I'm planning to host a website on my G4. How can I find out what the address people and myself will have to type in order to reach my website?
    Is this possible first of all? The PC in this case, is that what they call a proxie?
    Do I have to add another address in my TCP/IP settings?
    Also, with this setting, can I access my Mac through FTP?
    Newbie at networking...

  • Can't connect to printer through Router - Help!

    Brand new to Mac & getting frustrated. I have a SMC router with a Pixma ip6600D connected to the usb port on the router. I can connect to the internet without a problem and the printer works fine if I plug it directly into the MacBook. However I cannot get the Mac to find it via wireless. I downloaded the Gimp drivers (there is no ip6600D on the list). Apple has no clue, Canon was no help, and neither was SMC. I have spent over 12 hours on the phone with various Tech support folks with no answers. Nobody can suggest a work around or even whether or not a new router will solve the issue. By the way, my laptop PC and desktop PC's work fine interfacing with the router and printer. So much for the "I'm a Mac and I'm as PC" commercials being accurate! Help, anybody!!! Thanks.

    If the printer setup utility in OS X can't find it automatically, do a manual setup by clicking the + symbol in the printer preferences window, then click the IP option at the top of the panel. You can then enter the printer's network IP address and other information manually.

  • Providing internet through router and still keep IP

    I have a problem with my knowledge about this not being enough
    The situation is this.
    I have two computers connected to the internet via a Linksys WRT59GX v.2. The internet is with a non static IP, so i have the computers on automaticly optaining IP and router on DHCP.
    From here i have two problems. One being is that without static IP's on the computers, i am having trouble getting the ethernet to work between the two computers, while still on the internet.
    The other problem is that i want to get my FTP (from when i had static IP internet provider) up and running again, and for that i need a static IP correct?
    Is there some way that i can get the router to connect to the internet (there is no logon procedure), and then share it between the computers, and have them have static IP's? And with that configuration, would it be possible to have an FTP running from behind the router?
    Thanks for reading and i would really apriciate any assistance.

    Let's verify a few things here. You connect your modem to the internet port of the router. That moment your router is the device that connects to the internet. The router must be setup to use DHCP to get an IP address from your ISP.
    Once you have the router connected this way it has nothing to do with your computer anymore or that IP address it has. The router creates a new private network on the LAN side. This private IP address range is 192.168.1.1-255. You do not log into the internet with your computer or ethernet card anymore. You simply set up a local ethernet connection. That's all. In most cases it is enough to simply plug in the cable and that's it. You do not log into your ISP from your computer anymore. If it is setup to dial automatically, you must disable that. The internet connection is always there as the router handles that now.
    Again: the automatic IP address setting of your computer has a different "meaning" once you are connected to your router as it is now about your private LAN and not the internet anymore.
    I suggest you configure static IP addresses as I suggested before. Also check the router's status page to see if it has an internet connection.
    And: you can run a FTP server with static IP, however you must change the port forwarding in your router each time the computer gets a different IP address.

  • Can't get on internet through router

    I recently got a Netgear router (WGR614v6) from my son. They used it on a mac so I know it works. What I need is to have the router hardwired to my G5 imac and wireless for a PC laptop for my husband. I have a DSL modem. I have gone back and forth with Netgear, reconfiguing it at least 4 times, upgrading it, restarting everything numerous times, and now they say it is a problem with the imac. I can't get on the internet at all hardwired to the mac. I can with the PC. I had it configured so that the laptop was online with wireless, however I cannot use the iMac online then. I tried the setup disk and the iMac does not recognise it. I have tried configuing the router through the iMac and it will not connect. There has to be a setting somewhere I am missing. Please help, this is frustrating!

  • Can't connect with modem through e2500 router

    I have an old Speedstream 5100 modem hooked to my e2500 router. Everything works well except if for some reason my modem disconnects from ISP I can not log into it through the route to reconnect it. I must plug a direct cable into modem from computer run connect script then plug modem back into router all is fine again.
    Any ideas why connecting to modem through router is blocked?

    My Speedstream only has one Ethernet connection so I didn't realize that it looked like a router to the local network. I changed the mode to bridge on the Speedstream and setup PPoE on e2500 and reconnected to ISP on e2500 setup screen. That may solve the problem of reconnecting since now it is managed on the e2500.
    One thing I now see is since I left the modem IP set to 192.168.0.X I can't get to it at all through the e2500. Is that because my DHCP in e2500 is setup with 192.168.1.X IP range so modem isn't addressed in my network? If I hook directly to Speedstream and change IP to 192.168.1.X will it become visible on local network?
    You cannot access the modem anymore while you have an active PPPoE connection. For PPPoE the E2500 won't need an IP address from the modem thus it doesn't do DHCP on the WAN port and thus it never sees it. When you try to access 192.168.0.* addresses the E2500 will route it through the PPP tunnel to the ISP.
    If you hook your computer directly to the SpeedStream it should automatically pick up a DHCP address (assuming the computer is still running on DHCP and not with a static IP and the SpeedStream does not automatically disable the DHCP server in bridge mode). If you have set up a static IP on the computer you have to change the IP address to a 192.168.0.* address.

  • WRT54G lost connection to Internet from Wired computer, but wireless still connect

    I have the router hard wired to a desktop computer and have 2 other computers connecting wirelessly through it.  The hard wired computer suddenly could not connect to the internet, yet the 2 wireless computers still can.  The computer was 5 yrs. old and I had bought a new one, so thought it was the best time to set it up.  I have the same problem with the new computer.  The only way I could get access to the internet on it was to run a line from the USB port on the DSL modem directly to the computer.  I can still see the 2 other computers and their files through the router, just can't get the router to see the modem from the hard wired computer.  The 2 wireless computers can access the modem through the router, but the wired one can't!  According to Linksys the problem is with my ethernet/lan on the computer.(both computers?!)  According to the repair/diagnose on my lan connection, it says there is a problem with the router or modem.  Any suggestions?

    I found the problem, the router is bad.  I bought a new router and installed it, made no changes to the computer hardware, and the new router worked fine with the ethernet connection for the hard wired computer.  I am really disappointed in the help that I received from linksys.  They kept insisting there was nothing wrong with the router and that the 2 computers I tried to hard wire to the router both had bad ethernet ports.  I will not be buying their products again.

  • WRT54GS won't connect to the internet through my wired computer

    So, basically, I've had this router for awhile now, it used to work just fine, and I haven't changed any settings or anything of that sort.
    But suddenly it decides that it doesn't want to connect to the internet anymore. I've tried troubleshooting it like a hundred times now. I've looked at the FAQs for help but none of them seem to partain to my problem because they mostly talk about the wireless connection not working. Which I'm sure mine would if it could work on the wired connection.
    There's no problems with my ISP, when I connect my computer directly to the modem my internet works fine but when I try to connect through the router it just doesnt work at all.
    So, I really dont know what the problem is but could you please help me?
    ALSO...the power light in the back blinks too and I've tried doing the firmware update but it didnt work..I might've had the wrong DNS Servers, but I didn't really know where to go to get that, the walkthrough didn't exactly make that clear to me.
    In short, my internet wont connect when using the router. Help?

    hi i have read your problem but i can be wrong... because suppose to be your system have working before. i think can exist conflicts between modem ip address and router ip address. first disconnect your modem from your router put in your internet explorer 192.168.1.1 and if your router has password live user name area in blank. and put in password area admin and push return. when appear the setup menu ( must to be in basic setup menu by default) search the text Local IP Address 192.168.1.1 and let change for 192.168.2.1 and do click in save settings button turn off your modem your router and connect everything and turn on them. check if you get access internet service.

  • WRT54GS WIreless not connected, yet connected

    My WRT54GS wireless connections wont go through, as it clearly says, Not Connected, yet my network connections will show that I am connected to the internet and indeed, I can browse the web. My biggest problem with this is that eventually (around 10 minutes or so) it will disconnect from the internet, which is a problem since i play online games. Anyone ever had this happen?

    under the network connections , what all connections do you see....ensure that any other connection except for the wireless network connection is disabled..
    the only medium of connection should be the wireless network connection... check this and let me know if more help need on this issue ...

  • WRT54G v6 - Can Connect to wireless network but can't access internet

    Ok, this is my last resort for help. I spent two hours yesterday with linksys "chat" support to no avail.
    First the techincal details:
    OS for all machines = Windows XP
    Laptop w/two adapters - one wired, one wireless
    WRT54G v6 upgraded with 1.00.9 firmware
    SpeedStream modem from DSL provider
    I have manually set the IP, subnet mask, gateway, primary and secondary DNS for my wireless adapter (using the Alternate Configuration in the Internet Protocol Properties of the Wireless Network Connection). When I connect to the wireless network I see that the IP, subnet, gateway and DNS server IPs are all correct (via ipconfig /all).  I see that I am connected to my SSID (11.0 MBps, signal strength Excellent) however I can't access web sites (the server not found message appears in the browser) nor can I ping the router IP or any other IP (LAN or WAN).
    My wired PC works fine with this router. My laptop works fine with this router when wired. 
    Anyone face a similar situation and have a solution?  Thanks.

    A new discovery...
    When I disable the wireless security on the router, I am able to connect to the wireless network, ping the router and access the internet.  So, there is apparently something wrong with the WEP security (although I am able to connect to the wireless network when WEP is enabled). 
    I am thouroughly confused. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
