WRT54GS problem connecting labtop /ps3 to router

I have the above router and can connect to the internet fine with it.  However nothing else can connect to the network.  I have everything open
This is the problem
I want to go online with my PS3 each time it struggles to locate the IP address.  I took the ps3 to my sons house who has the same router and connected straight away.
My son came down and attempted to connect to the internet with his labtop although it can find the wireless router it will not connect to the network.  All codes and passwords have been used.
Iam new at thins and do not understand networking at all.
Please can some help me with simple instructions

try assigning a static ip add and DNS address to the PS3....
change the MTU settings on the router to 1365 and forward ports 10070-10080 , 6000-6999 ..

  • There was a problem connecting to the server "router"

    I just recently purchase AirPort Extreme and i have connected my External hard drive to my AirPort Extreme. when I open my MacBook Pro, I am getting this message "There was a problem connecting to the server "router". Also it says The server may not exists or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, Check your network connection and than try again. How can i prevent this message to pop up on my desktop? Please assist?

    I am also experiencing this problem. I do not own an airport, but I do have an external hard drive that I plug in on occassion to update my Time Machine backups. The message does not seem to have a routine or pattern and will sometimes immediately return after I acknowledge it or will return after 30 minutes. I own a Macbook Pro 13" 2011 model.

  • WRT54G Problem Connecting

    Recently tried to change security from WEP to WPA. Also tried to disable SSID visibility so that others can't choose and use my network connection. Now I can't acquire a wireless network connection. Do I need to uninstall and re-install setup all over again. Here's additional information: WRT54G is version 6. I have Windows XP Home edition. I changed login information from factory defaults.

    Don't mess with uninstalling and reinstalling setup.
    Make sure your network has a unique SSID.  Do not use "linksys".
    Set your "SSID broadcast" back to "enabled".  You do not need to worry about broadcasting your SSID when you are using WPA encryption.  Many computers have trouble connecting to the router when SSID broadcast is disabled.
    In the non-working computer, temporarily turn off your computer software firewall, and see if that helps.
    If you still have trouble, then state what kind of WPA is the router set to:
    WPA with TKIP?
    WPA with AES?
    WPA enterprise?  (you should not be using this.  Choose WPA-personal instead.)
    If you are using "WPA with AES", this equals WPA2.   To use this, Windows XP requires a patch.  You can get the patch by upgrading Windows XP to SP3.
    If you still have trouble, do the following:
    In the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use.  Delete your current network (this will remove any old settings).  Reboot computer.  Return to "Preferred Networks" and re-enter your current network info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings".  Reboot computer.  Your computer should connect automatically to the router (it may take 1-2 minutes).  If not, be sure to temporarily turn off your computer software firewall, then try again to connect.
    If the above does not fix your problem, download and install the latest driver for your wireless card.

  • Problem connecting my 8900 to router

    Hi all,
    I've had the 8900 for a couple of months now and had it working without a hitch at home. I connected it to the router and would be on UMA which is great because I don't have any network coverage in my house for some unknown reason, which is why it's so important to me.
    This morning I had to unplug my router (BT Homehub 2.0) as we're having some painting done, which I now regret as my phone isn't connecting properly. The internet is connected to the computer no problem through a cable but now I'm having serious bother with connecting the phone wirelessly.
    I have done umpteen battery pulls, router resets, deleting saved connections and searching for them afresh but the best I've managed to do is connect to the hub (with the Wi-Fi network name showing on my screen), but the Wi-Fi button staying greyed out, which means it won't switch to UMA.
    Under Diagnostics I get a green tick next UMA Wi-Fi Available but a red cross next to Connection, with the error code saying "Status: ISP error, DNS server cannot be reached." Furthermore, the connection seems to drop
    I don't think it's an ISP fault as the net is working fine on my PC, alas I have no other wireless device to test on it.
    I'm trying to find out if it's an IP problem but I can't see any option to manually enter an address with a direct IP. Instead it asks for my SSiD which I've put in a few times already.
    Really frustrating and my network can't help me. They just gave me a direct number to RIM and they want to charge me for their help.
    Any suggestions please?

    Do you have your router set to hide it's SSID?? I have found that my BB 8900 can't connect to any router that is hidden. I hope this helps or at least points you in a direction.

    Check your Firewall Settings, Did you Enable File and Printer Sharing ?

  • WRT54G Problem Connecting Wirelessly to Windows 7 Computer

    I can connect to the WRT54G router with an Ethernet cable on a computer with Windows 7.  I have done all the basic things or at least most of them.  I can ping the router successfully wirelessly.  My router is old with firmware 1.02.5.  I use Linkysy EasyLink Advisor.  I suspect EasyLink  won't work for Windows 7.  I have tried to connect manually but when I put the encryption key in it says it is not valid.  I am using 128 bit WEP.  Help

    I'd suggest you change your encryption to WPA or WPA2 because WEP is insecure, can be easily cracked. Here's the procedure.

  • My HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 won't connect to my wireless router

    This is bizarre.  I have had my HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 for about 6 months.  It has generally worked fine, and we have used it wirelessly only.  But now it refuses to connect to the router.  It can FIND the router, and it can find other networks in the area, but it won't connect to the router.  I ran the Wireless Network Test, and the results say:
    Wireless On - Pass // Wireless Working - Pass //
    Network Name (SSID) found - Pass //  Wireless Networks Detected - 9
    Printer Settings Consistent with Wireless Router Settings - Pass / No Filtering - FAIL //
    So it recommends solution as follows: "1 If MAC Address filtering is enabled, and you would like to keep it enabled, you must add the Mac address of your printer to the list of permitted devices for your router before continuing."
    Except, guess what, I don't have MAC Address filtering enabled.  I wouldn't know how to do that, much less check for it.
    Also, before today, this was never a problem.  HELP!
    Thanks....
    If you are interested, here's more detail and background.  
    Before today, the only problem we have had is that frequently our Apple laptop (OS X 10.6) has trouble connecting to the printer.  This has been odd because the printer is connected to the network, and so is the laptop, but the laptop can't find the printer - it thinks the printer is "offline" (even though it's not).  Usually, if I wait a while, it will find the printer, and it will resolve itself work fine.  If not, we sometimes have found that it can fix itself if you restart the laptop -- restarting the printer does not make a difference.   In fact, I did exactly that today, and it resolved itself.  And I printed.  Fine, right?
    But then I wanted to do more printing, and the problem of the laptop not finding the printer came up again, so I decided to really "get to the bottom of this."  I don't remember exactly what I did, but somehow I was persuaded by the online help, that the correct solution would be to go into my System Preferences / Print and Fax, and click on the "-", which de-installs the printer, with the idea of re-installing the printer.  But then when I tried to re-install the printer, it could not find the printer.  Ugh!  Wierdly, it found an 8600 Scanner, but not an 8600 printers.  After installing and de-installing the 8600 scanner a few times, I eventually deinstalled everything, and I decided to start from scratch.  I got my HP disk, and installed all the software again from the beginning (even though it was already there), and then it looked for my printer, but couldn't find it.  So then I got a USB cord, and plugged that in.
    So, now I have a situation where I do have a working printer via the USB cord, but no wireless connection at all.  In particular, since the Office Jet Pro 8600 won't connect to the router, I don't know what else to do.  My Apple MacBook pro is 2 feet away from the printer, and it is connected to the router just fine (as is my blackberry), and I have never before had a problem connecting to the wireless router by the printer.
    Any suggestions?

    There are two things that can trip the mac filtering test to fail:  actual MAC address filtering setup (sounds like this is not the case) and using wireless channel 6 or automatic for wireless channel in the wireless network settings (in the router).  Since it does show failed for MAC filtering and you do not use this option, try changing the wireless channel in the router to 1 or 11.  Those two channels provide the best compatibility with printers due to less interference.  Almost everything defaults to auto or 6 for the channel and this causes a lot of interference.  This change should not affect anything at all.  To do this, you may need to contact the router manufacturer as the process differs from router to router.
    What brand and model is the router?
    Has anything in the network settings changed at all?
    What version is the Mac OS X?  There may be additional steps to take as it sounds like there are two separate issues involved and this could be revisited later.

  • I had a problem with my WRT54GS not connecting to my inte...

    I had a problem with my WRT54GS not connecting to my internet until I cloned my old routers mac address. I was using a BEFW11S4 which was bullet proof and worked for several years until I changed to Wireless G. Upon purchasing the WRT54GS and setting up all parameters exactly like I had before I could not make any connections, wireless or otherwise until I cloned my mac address to the same address as my previous router. Apparently my ISP had that mac address registered and would not properly perform DHCP even though all other paremeters were correct. I read lots of messages here on line with issues with the WRT54GS connecting and this fixed my problem outright. If you upgrade from a previous generation router (Linksys or otherwise apparently) copy your old routers mac address and clone it to your new router and you should be able to connect. This fixed my problem after several hours and days of troubleshooting. Good Luck Karnage

    As an alternative to using MAC address cloning, you can phone your ISP, tell them you have a new router, and tell them to reset their system to accept the MAC address of your new router.   This way, you won't have to remember the old MAC address, in the event that you need to reset your router to factory defaults.

  • PS3 WRT54G Problem

    Ever since I've had my PS3 out WRT54G wireless router has been acting really strange.
    Whenever I try to connect to my PS3 using a wireless connection it either tells me i have a connection error, or connects and then the router just shutsdown/restarts =S and i can't connect again.
    Anyone got any suggestions as to how to fix it?
    Thanks in advance!
    P.S. I have version 7.0
    Message Edited by bldvdinc on 06-15-200710:49 AM

    Well said FLATLINE!  Although you can connect a PS3 with a wireless adaptor it is much slower then hard wiring it to the router.  However, if that is not a option then you will have to use the wireless.
    Try upgrading the routers firmware for that model/version and see if you still have the errors or shutting down on you.

  • After updating my wife's iPad to iOS6 the ipad will not connect to wifi on certain wireless routers. What can we do? Also, same for iPad mini with same router. But iPhone that has iOS5 has no problem connecting.

    Need help. Before updating to latest software iOS6 the iPad had no issues connecting on our home router. After updating the iPad will not work. We have a mini iPad with same issue. But I have a iPhone 4S that I chose not to update to iOS6, still has iOS5. It connects no problem to router. Our computers have no issues connecting to router either. There is a software issue with iOS6.0.1 that will not allow certain routers to communicate. What can I do?  Also, the mini iPad stated a newer version of software is out, version 6.0.2 which is supposed to correct the wifi problems. It has helped but still haven't connectivity issues. However, the iPad states software is up-to-date so we cannot update to 6.0.2 even through connecting to computer on iTunes. How can that be?

    Try going to settings, reset , reset network settings.

  • How can I connect two PS3 to the same Linksys WRT54G correctly

    Hi,
    i'm trying to connect two PS3 to the same routeur without having conflicts. Everytime i try to update my game softwares it tells me error 80710723 or now 8002AD23. I gave the two PS3 different IP adresses, i opened all the ports that Playstation suggested me to open (http://playstation.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/241) and gave them different DNS adresses but still they cannot download any software content without bugging the console. I also use a PC, Tablet and Phone with my wireless connection.
    thank you
    -François

    Well in this case the error code (80710723 ) is generated when the internet connection is slow. So you can try the following step:
    # Open up the browser and on the address bar type 192.168.1.1 that will open up the Router setup page.
    # Lower the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) from 1500 to 1400 or less (usually found on your router's main/ basic setup page)
    # Make the Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
    #Adjust the following advanced wireless settings:
    ~~ Lower the beacon interval from 100 to 75
    ~~ Lower the fragmentation threshold from 2346 to 2306
    ~~ Lower the RTS threshold from 2347 to 2304

  • My time capsule seemed to have given up so I have just got a net gear router, I have no problem connecting  wirelessly but when I connect an Ethernet cable it says it's connected but pages will not load

    Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
    The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
    Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

  • My iPad2 no longer connects to my home wifi network but there is no problem connecting to other saved wifi networks. Currently using iOS8.0.2. with storage capacity of 12.2Gb but only 147Mb free. Disconnecting the router and rebooting the iPad worked

    You could try this
    Temporarily disable security on your home network
    See if the iPad connects
    If it does then reset the security - with the same or different password

    Problem connecting wirelessly from iMac to NETGEAR router, get invalid password message with WPA and WPA-2 encryption in place but if I remove them, so no security, can connect without a problem. Help!!

    Thank you for your suggestion but I have already had a couple of phone sessions with NETGEAR support and they don't see any problems with the router settings etc. They referred me to Apple support, who helped me discover that it is possible to communicate with the router but only if I turn off the encryption/security software, which I don't want to do. The frustrating thing is that I can connect wirelessly from a laptop running Windows 7 and two Anroid smart phones, with WPA-2 in place, without a problem. Do you have any other ideas?
