Wrt54gs router pppoe problem

hey guys,
I have a problem with my 'wrt54gs with speedboaster router'. My internet connection is with PPPoE. I've used the router option to connect it with PPPoE. The router gets connected with my ISP with PPPoE, gets the IP-s, DNS-es and everything, I can also ping any host with the router's diagnostic tools, which means that the router is connected sucessfully with PPPoE and is having internet, but the problem is that when the internet is shared through the internal network (the 192.168.1.xxx one), my computer gets IP with DHCP and also the ISP's DNS-es, but I the internet does not work. Something is failing while the internet is being shared from PPPoE to my computer. And one thing to tell is that the PPPoE network has the subnet mask 255.255.255.255 and the internal network has the subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
Anyone knows what is the problem??
best regards.

Ok, so it's cable broadband. You might want to enable MAC address cloning. Go to http://kb.linksys.com and search for anything related to "cable" internet. You may even try searching for your ISP name (eg: comcast).
Also, software that comes from your ISP (if any) is designed to work without a router "in between" modem and PC. If you have that installed, remove it.

  • WRT54G ROUTER CONNECTION PROBLEM

    I have a WRT54g router.
    Everything works great for a period of time even after turning the computer, internet modem and router on and off several times.
    Then I turn everything on and the computer does not connect to the internet.
    It go and connect the computer directly to the internet modem and I have internet access.
    To be able to use the router again I have to reset the modem and input all the settings which I do with the setup disk.
    I have been using channel six in case this makes any difference.
    Any help will be appreciated. 

    connection DMS: HSD1.fl.comcast.net
    IP address          :192.168.1.100
    subnet mask      :255.255.255.0
    IP address          :fe80::213:20ff:fec3:6913%4
    default gatway    :197.168.1.1
    ping                      : sent 4 received 4 lost
    reply                      :bytes 32   time 1ms   TTL  64
    It does not connect to the internet now but if I reset in the back of the modem and reload the setting via the original CD that came with the unit it starts to connect. Eventually one of the times that I power up it stops connecting to the internet although it still ping's out.
    I also tried to load the update of the newer solfware but it does the same with or without the update.
    Thanks for your help.

  • WRT54GS Router torrent problem on 2 PCs

    Hiya. I recently connected 2 PCs to a WRT54GS ver6 Linksys router. The PCs each use a WUSB54GS ver2.1 adapter to connect to it. Everything is fine, however I'm having a problem with torrents being limited on one PC. The first PC connects fine, everything runs smoothly and fast. However when I try to connect to the same torrent with the other PC, its greatly limited. Its never given full access, and whereas normally it would have 20+ seeders, I'm lucky to get 2. Download speed on the first PC is 100kbps, whereas the second is 5-20kbps. I've looked around the internet and been unable to find this specific problem. It seems as if 1 PC has been giving the OK by the router, but the other is being throttled back for some reason. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks

    Running peer-to-peer software is a known cause for router slow downs and disconnections.  When a "torrent" is running, it will typically make over 100, and often over 200 connections.  The router must keep track of all these connections.  The router has a limited amount of memory to work with, so this leads to router slow downs and disconnections.
    If possible, have only one computer running torrents at a time.  Additionally, you can go into the peer-to-peer software and reduce the number of connections that the software can make.   This effectively limits the impact that the torrent is having on the router, and this sometimes helps.
    Alternatively, if one of your computers has this "slow" problem even when torrents is not running on the other computer, then perhaps you simply have a poor wireless connection.  This can happen even with a 100% signal strength.  There are many things that cause poor wireless connections:
    First of all, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
    Poor wireless connections are often caused by radio interference from other 2.4 GHz devices. This includes wireless phones, wireless baby monitors, Bluetooth (including Bluetooth game controllers), microwave ovens, wireless mice and keyboards, wireless speakers, and your neighbor's wireless network. Even some 5+ GHz phones also use the 2.4 Ghz band. Unplug these devices, and see if that corrects your problem.
    In your router, try a different channel. There are 11 channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Usually channel 1, 6, or 11 works best. Check out your neighbors, and see what channel they are using. Because the channels overlap one another, try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors. For example, if you have a strong neighbor on channel 9, try any channel 1 through 4.
    Also, try to locate the router about 4 to 6 feet above the floor, in an open area. Do not locate it behind your monitor or near other computer equipment or speakers. The antenna should be vertical.
    Hope this helps.

  • WRT54g router DHCP problems (I think)

    I just got a wrt54g wireless router for my organization hooked it up and started having problems. I set the router to use DHCP and *tried* to set the “Maximum Number of DHCP Users:” to 15 and clicked “Save Settings” but when I went back to that screen it would be back at the default (5), I have since tried to change it many more times and no matter what number I pick (2-230) it still shows up as 5. Anyway. 1st I connected my XP notebook and was able to access the internet (specifying that my computer obtain the IP address automatically) Next I connected my colleague’s vista notebook and he could access the internet. (specifying that his computer obtain the IP address automatically) Next I connected another colleague’s xp desktop (specifying that my computer obtain the IP address automatically) *Next* I tried another colleague’s XP notebook computer and started having problems. I specified that it should obtain the IP address automatically but it would not and kept getting a 169.254.x.x address instead of one like 192.168.1.x (it also keeps showing a subnet mask different from the one I specified on the router). I went back to my notebook (which had been working fine) and discovered that now (without my making any changes to my notebook) I am having the same problem. I am now having the above problem (computers not receiving addresses automatically) with all but one or two computers (the vista notebook continues to work). Someone on usenet suggested I try putting in an IP address manually so I did and it worked but #1 I need more than 5 computers to be attached at one time (the router refuses to accept any number higher than 5 [though I can specify *less* than 5, it will for example remember 4 and 3]) #2 The router should be assigning IP addresses to all the computers, I shouldn’t have to be putting in the addresses manually.

    Did you try to flash/reflash the routers firmware?  Try that and reset the factory default settings and cycle the power.  Then reconfigure the router and let us know if it continues to do that.

  • Problem connecting to same game server, WRT54G router.

    Hello I have a WRT54G router, me and my brother cannot play on the same game server on Team Fortress 2. It kicks the person already in the server when the other person joins and gives a connection issue. We think the game server cannot take the same IP twice in the same server.
    We checked IPs on ipchicken.com and we're sure the router giving us the same IP is the problem. If it matters we're connected with ethernet cords, not wirelessly. Is there any way to change the IP addresses or fix this?
    Thanks, Matt

    The game server will only see the single IP address assigned to the modem or router by your ISP, and won't see the individual computer's locally assigned addresses.
    So, unfortunately I see no way around this without subscribing to a separate internet connection with your ISP.

  • Online Games Problems With WRT54G Router

    Hi There ppl,
    I have a Lan House with 50 comps working, and most of my costumers are looking for online games entertainment (Cabal Online, Ragnarok, Dota, CS, 9 Dragon etc). We have an 8 Gb DSL connection and another one of the same speed for back-up (not running simultaneously at the moment). We should be having outstanding results for online gamming (and we were before installing the new router) but we are having several problems since we install a new LinkSys WRT54G router here. Our physical configuration is the modem, followed by the router, than three DLink Switches(24 ports) and my main computer. Everything cable
    What we noticed is that the Internet connection looks normal (even using the command "ping", nothing strange appears, no timed out at all!) but online games (specially the above mentioned) have an intermitent connection. (Some times they connect, some dont)... Looks like it happens usually when I have the house crowded, but already showed also with it empty.
    Another issue is that I am using the LinkSys Advisor to help identifying this problem, but I am getting even more confused, because its giving new information each time I refresh the "my network" window. Also happens when showing "My Network Settings" on the Support Tab.
    Im using Firmware 8.00.0, what I think is the newest.
    I didnt try any forwarding port issue yet, as I would like to receive more information about it (never needed to configure anything related before). Concerning the MTU value I already tryed withou any significantly result.
    Please If anyone had the same problem, or have any idea of other possible tests, i would appreciate a lot.
    Thank you and have a great day all

    Hi there Helm,
    Tks for your attention and reply to my issue!! Yesterday right after posting here (when we closed the doors and I could be able to work on it) I did get the latest one (8.00.2) and also set up manually the MTU value to 1500 (standard is automatic). I also unckeck the "anonymous internet request bock", "Multcast filter" and "Filter NAT forwarding", all of them were checked as standard. I also checked the "HTTPS Internet Access" (standard is only HTTP).
    At a first moment I could get a very low sensitive better result (but the Lan was closed, so I had the entire 8Gb for my requests). I came back to work right now, and we have about 30 ppl in, mostly using the Internet, MSN and so... I am trying yo connect to Cabal Online, and GG-Esports (Warcraft, Dota) both of them giving the same problems as always... I am really getting tired and disapointed with LinkSys, I really though I would have much more than I am having right now.
    Anyway I gonna keep trying each night to see what I cant get. I do post here If I find any solution (or if I really decided to move to another brand)
    Thank you a lot and have a great night out there

  • Wireless to Wired PC problems with WRT54GS router

    I am helping a friend troubleshoot a home network with a high-speed DSL line, WRT54GS router, 3 wired XP PCs and two laptops connecting to the router via 80211.g
    The desktop PCs see each other on the network and can share files and printers.
    However the laptops via WIFI don't see the wired desktops on the network, nor can the desktop PCs see the laptops on the network. I tried running the XP network wizard on each laptop with no luck. I tried some ping tests with the following results:
      When I ping a laptop from a desktop, I get a return ping
      When I ping a desktop from a laptop, I can NO return ping.
      When I ping the IP address of the router from a desktop, I get a return ping 
      When I ping the IP address of the router from a laptop, I can NO return ping.
    I tried disabling the firewall features internal to the router with no luck.
    All machines are running Macafee total security with a firewall. I made sure the firewall was disabled for these tests.
    I would appreciate some advice.
    Thanks

    Turn on file & printer sharing on all computers.  Make sure they are all on the same workgroup.  Do not use network wizard.
    Log on to the router and setup your wireless settings & wireless security.  Change the network name from Linksys to something else.  Copy these settings on a piece of paper.  Now go to your laptops and find the network you just created.  It will ask you for the key or passphrase.  Input the passphrase you just created.  If it does not work you will have to manually configure your wireless settings that you written on paper.

  • WRT54G v6, Weird Problem

    My new WRT54G router was working fine for a couple weeks, both wired and wireless performance, on one desktop(wired) and two laptops(wireless). Recently I've been having a strange problem with the wireless; it connects with an excellent signal, and I can logon to messenger services or online games, but I cannot browse the internet with Firefox or IE.
    I've tried many solutions, including uninstalling and installing the router again, installing my Verizon DSL service again (connection type PPPoE), trying static/dynamic IPs, WinSockFix, uninstalling and installing my wireless adaptor(Atheros AR5005G), trying a different adaptor(Belkin Wireless G Card), turning on and off my Windows Firewall, using the SES service, releasing and renewing the IP. I'm begining to lose hope, and its driving me crazy because it doesn't make sense; why would only internet browsers not work? Most likely there's a small thing I'm overlooking, but if I can't get around it I'm going to have to find a new router. ANY help is apreciated.
    Thanks, Chad

    Thanks for all the help Jern; I went into FireFox and set the connection type to a free proxy server, it's working fine now. I wonder why it worked to begin with though, and decided all of a sudden that it needed one? Oh well, I may never know, Thanks again.

  • Setting UP Static IP With WRT54G router

    Setting a static IP shouldn't be a problem, since setting the static IP is done on the computer.  So why am I having such a problem?? Let me tell a little about my setup.
    I have a DSL connection.  My DSL netopia modem uses PPPoe of course, and broadcast a DHCP connection to my WRT54G router.  3 computers are connected to this router. 1 desktop (vista) wired and 2 laptops (XP) wireless/wired. I'm attempting to create a static IP for the desktop and later for the laptops, but each time I do, I lose internet connectn nor am I able to connect to DSL modem at 192.168.1.254
    Within the router I have changed the DHCP count to 5, with the starting IP as 192.168.1.1.  Linksys help advise to change IP to 192.168.2.1, but I still get the same problem when creating a static ip.
    Within desktop (vista Home Premium SP1), I have changed the local area network to the following:
    IP          - 192.168.1.060
    Mac      - 255.255.255.0
    Gateway-192.168.1.1
    DNS      -192.168.1.1
    Once I change the IP to above, from obtain auto, I lose the connection.
    Later the laptops IP address will be changed to 192.168.070 and .080 
    Aren't static Ip address suppost to be outside the DHCP range?
    Isn't the gateway address my router?
    apoloize for the big questions, but tried to get all information within it.
     Thanks

    Before doing this, In Windows go to run and type CMD hit enter. In the command prompt, type ipconfig /all and record your DNS server/servers if more than one. Not getting the proper DNS server information, will prevent you from going to websites like linksys.com by typing linksys.com in the address bar, instead you would have to know the IP of linksys.com to browse the page, not very user friendly and I can barely remember my phone number, let alone IP addresses of all the sites I go.
    Log into your router. Leave your WAN settings alone, since that will determine your settings for the connection to the internet. Now configure your Network settings on the router. The 192.168.1.1  or 192.168.2.1 for the ip and leave the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 as is. Disable DHCP on the router. DHCP is a service that the router will use to issue out IP addresses automatically. This is the complete opposite of what you are trying to do with a static connection. Once these settings have been changed, you will need to configure the connection on the PC and any other connecting device to the router via wired or wireless since DHCP is now disabled. If not, you will just be stuck all day while the network adapter trys to get a network address and DHCP has a heart attack.
    Configure your network adapters. Assign the IP address. If you used 192.168.1.1 then the IP will need to be 192.168.1.2 through 192.168.1.254 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 or if you used 192.168.2.1 the IP will need to be 192.168.2.2 through 192.168.2.254 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and enter the DNS server information as recorded from earlier. Default gateway will be whatever the IP address of the router you configured. 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.2.1 etc etc etc.
    Just remember to not duplicate any IP address when configuring other devices and all should work well.
    This worked fine for me earlier today when I needed a static connection.

  • 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. 

  • Win XP SP3 PC wired to WRT54G router repeatedly crashes

    I have a Win XP SP3 desktop that is wired (not wireless) to WRT54G router  (v 3.0 router with latest firmware version 4.21.1).
    The PC repeatedly freezes when I connect to internet using IE or Firefox and has to be re-booted using power button. The following are the 2 error messages from Event Viewer:

  • WRT54G router IP address is the same as my modem's IP address. how to change the routers IP address?

    The broadband modem got broken and the ISP changed it to a new modem. Now my problem is I cannot use the router when they changed the modem. The ISP won't provide support since they didn't provide me with the wireless router. I've read through the forum and found that I had to change my router's IP address. WRT54G router IP address is the same as my modem's IP address, 192.168.1.1. I already changed the local IP address of the router to 192.168.1.2, saved the setting, released and renew the ip address. Now, when I connected my internet modem cable to the router, I cannot connect to the internet. I am able to ping 192.168.1.2 but I cannot connect to the ping 192.168.1.1. Please help me do the proper setup.
    Thanks!

    Hello! I solved my problem but I find the solution so weird. After changing the routers IP address to 192.168.1.2, instead of plugging the modem cable on the Internet port of the router, I plugged it in one of the WAN ports. Presto, it worked. Even my wireless connection is also working.

  • Cannot connect Mac ibook to WRT54G router

    I have a WRT54G router connected to my desktop. My Dell laptop connects without any problems. Now I am also trying to connect a Mac ibook to the same router. The Airport reads the connection, but it does not accept any passwords. The dropdown of connection options includes Personal WPA, Personal WPA2, Enterprise WPA, and others, but none of them accept my password. I have read some threads about downgrading, but I am concerned that if I make changes to adapt for the Mac, I might lose my Dell connectivity.

    Use Firefox or Internet Explorer. Open http://192.168.1.1/ (if you have not changed the LAN IP address of the WRT54G), enter your password (default "admin" ) and you should see the web interface of the router. Click on Wireless. Post the current settings you have there. Then click on Wireless Security and also post the current settings you find there. That will tell us how you have set up the wireless on the router and then we'll see how you correctly set up the iBook for this.

  • WRT54GS router loses WAN DNS

    I have a WRT54GS router that loses the WAN DNS from time to time. I go into the router and check the router status and the IP is set to a LAN IP address and no DNS entry. I release and renew the DNS and it picks up the WAN IP and DNS OK. This happens time to time.
     At first I was powering everything down and then on – the router would NOT pick up the ISP DNS – always stayed with the LAN IP settings and no DNS. If I put a computer directly to the cable modem it worked OK.
     Later I discovered if I went into the router status – releasing and renew would pick up the ISP DNS and stay until the next event.
     I called Linksys and was advised to upgrade the firmware which seemed to help but this reoccurred again.
     Any thoughts? Should I replace the router?

    I have reloaded the firmware several times and with the support guy on live chat followed his instructions for a HARD RESET - the problem happened again after all that.
    I see through web searches that a lot of people have the same issue but never really report a solution - just a lot of repeat suggestions.
