WRT54GS router setup page won't display most text

So I bought a new Linksys WRT54GS v6 wireless router yesterday, and I was able to set it up to share my DSL line, but when I went to the router setup page (192.168.1.1), it wouldn't display most text. It displays text in the entry boxes, but there are no links or other text on the page. I took a screenshot which can be seen here: http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/3390/routersetuppagemc1.jpg
Does anyone know what I can do to solve this issue?

Hey Merugo. I was having the same problem with the router settings screen refusing to load for my WRT54G. Do you happen to have v.5 of the router? After digging around in the help files on the site, I found this for firmware recovery for the WRT54G v.5 and it fixed the problem I was having once it loaded the updated .bin. Blank screen be gone.
http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=3176
(The first time the router tried to load the new .bin it timed out. And the second time it installed correctly though it didn't display "Upgrade Success" like it's apparently supposed to.)
Hope this can maybe help you since it fixed things for me.Message Edited by Res on 10-03-200606:44 PM

WRT54G Wireless Setup page won't load and other issues.

Well I have had quite the mess the last 24 hours. I'll start from the beginning and attempt to spell out the issues I am having. I have had this router for 4 years or so and have never had a problem.
I recently purchased a PS3 and started using the wireless feature that it offeres. Well I was having problems staying connected and was running in to IP address conflicts with my laptop. So I thought I would cure that by moving the router to the ps3 and using a wired connection for its internet. So that is what I did and that is when the problems started snowballing!! After I got the router moved and everything set up, all seemed well at first.
Shortly thereafter I realized I was still getting IP conflicts. So i did some research and saw where I could dedicate an address for the ps3 and also change some of the wireless settings on the router homepage. I previously had never password protected my network. I'm in a rural area and there aren't many people around that would be trying to get on it. But I figured since I was there I would rename the network and password protect it and all of that. Well that didn't help either. I was still having problems.
I then did all of the resets. Online, on the unit and also a power cycle. So I was back to square one with the settings at this point. So today I noticed that my connection would go from its norm of 54mbps down to1 and then lose connection. I did the resets and restarts and all of that, to no avail. Then it got to the point where it wouldn't connect at all. I checked the actual connection by connecting my computer directly to the modem and it worked flawlessly. So I know it is a router problem. I also tried using 2 seperate laptops and they both responded the same.
I think part of the issue I had then was that the modem and router were on my entertainment center and weren't very high and were in a shelf. Also, my surround sound receiver does use a wireless connection to 2 of its speakers. I didn't know the proper placement of a router until I had this problem. Now that it is back in its previous location the connection seems to be normal, although once in the last hour I did drop down to 1mbps and have to disconnect and reconnect. But it hasn't happened again so far.
However, I am unable to access the wireless page on the router setup page. I did yesterday but it won't load today. On either computer. So I am unable to change the name of my network or assign a password or change any other wireless setting. And again, I've tried every reset method and it still don't work.
Also, does anyone have any advice on the conflicting IP addresses with the ps3? They sent me an email stating that it may be a port or firewall issue? After doing some online research it seems this particualr router has had a lot of problems getting along with the ps3.
I hope I haven't put in too much information but I was just trying to make sure I had any questions I could think of answered ahead of time. I've tried about every avenue I could already. I tried the chat help and was told I didn't qualify and was sent to the phone assistance who after a half hour realized I didn't qualify for that help either. So, here I am!!! Thanks ahead of time!

Make sure that there is no static IP address on any of your computer. You can assign a static IP address on Play station.
Connect the computer to the router with the Ethernet cable.
Download t he latest firmware from Linksys website and save it on your computer.
Open the setup page of the router. Go to Administration tab and click on Firmware upgrade sub tab. Browse the firmware file that you have already downloaded and upgrade it on your router.
After upgrading the firmware on your router, it is recommended that you should reset the router and reconfigure it. Press and hold the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. Release the reset button and wait for 30 seconds. Power cycle the router and reconfigure it.
Change the MTU size on the router to 1365.
Go to Wireless tab and change the wireless network name and channel to 11. Also change the wireless security settings.

Can't connect to router setup page

Hi,
I have a WRT54G wireless router, version 2.1. It's been working fine for the last 3 years and suddenly the WLAN light is out and there's no communication between router & computer. I've tried resetting it (via reset button, and unplugging power) a million times with no results. A techie thought maybe I needed a firmware upgrade -- which I've downloaded, but now I still have to access the setup page to install it, which seems to be impossible. The 192.168.1.1 page won't come up at all. (And when I went into the command prompt, it said my Default Gateway was 207.237.223.1 -- which, of course, I've tried, but that won't come up either.) I've turned off firewalls and antivirus programs, thinking they might be the problem -- still nothing. Any suggestions/advice would be MUCH appreciated! Thanks in advance!

You need to try again to reset the router to factory defaults.
To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
5) Power down the router.
6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
Please let me know how things turn out for you.

Can't log into router setup page

I updated my firmware today on a WRT54GL router. Upgrade was successful but when I clicked to continue I got a message that access was denied. I have tried to log in with the address 192.168.1.1 and get the same message. Any help?

After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults (see note below), then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it. If you have not done this since the last firmware upgrade, please do it now and see if that corrects your problem.
If you still have trouble viewing your router setup pages, do the following:
Use Internet Explorer, it usually works.
JavaScript must be enabled.
Use a computer that is wired to the router.
In the non-working computer, temporarily turn off your software firewall.
If you are using Zone Alarm, right click on the ZA icon in the system tray (lower right corner of screen) and then click "Shutdown ZoneAlarm", and see if this fixes your problem. If this does not work, try the following with Zone Alarm: Open the ZAISS control center, go to Privacy, then temporarily turn off Ad Blocking and Cookie Control, and see if that fixes your problem.
If you are using Noton Internet Security with the Add-on Pack, be sure to turn off the Pop-up Blocker. Some users have reported that they needed to uninstall the entire Norton Add-on Pack.
If you cannot get anything at 192.168.1.1 then perhaps this is not your router's address. Go to "Start" > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
A black DOS box will appear. Type in "ipconfig" (with no quotes), then hit the Enter key. Look at the "Default Gateway". Is it 192.168.1.1 ? Point your browser to the "Default Gateway", then login to your router.
If the above fails, disconnect your modem from the router, and try again. If this corrects your problem, then most likely you have a "modem-router" rather than an ordinary modem. Check to see if your "modem-router" is using the same 192.168.1.x address space as your Linksys router. If it is, then report back with this problem, and also state the make and model of your modem-router.
If all of the above fails, power down your entire system, unplug it from the wall, wait one minute, then power up and try again.
If you still have problems, then you need to download and install (or re-install) the latest firmware for your router. After the firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
Note: To reset the router to factory defaults: Power down the router and disconnect all wires from it. Wait one minute. Power up the router, allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes), then press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release the button and allow the router to reset and reboot ( 2-3 minutes). Power down router. Wait one minute. Connect one computer, by wire, to a LAN port on the router. Boot up system. It should work.

Photo page won't display properly in safari

Hi everyone!
I'm completely new to building websites and need some of your expert advice?
For some reason my photo pages won't display properly in Safari but ok in Firefox?
It worked fine a week ago and I can't think what I've done wrong since I republished last night?
http://www.abeledo.talktalk.net/losavellanos/House.html
Can anyone help?
I'll buy you a pint!
Cheers

No luck unfortunately.
I changed the background to a solid and made the changes that you suggested roddy, but neither seemed to work. I know I must be doing something wrong? Do the photos appear ok with you roddy? All I see, is half the page i.e nav bar, top image, 'the house & garden etc text and top half of the darker box where the thumbnails should appear. And this happens with all 3 photo pages currently on the site.

I've been clearing my cache in both browsers every time I republish.
I've also tried upgrading to the new 3.0.3 beta Safari? You'd think - out of all the browsers- iWeb would work seamlessly with Safari wouldn't you? - Firefox is fine.
Do you think I should start from scratch?

My iPhone 5 won't display smart text. It did when I initially downloaded the new OS, now those options don't appear at all. Did I click something to make them disappear?
I went into Settings to see if there was a component of it within Messages. I don't see anything.
Thoughts please.....
Thanks much

WRT54G Router Setup Help!!!

Hey guys. I have a WRT54G router. I have AT&T yahoo DSL and a modem that came with it. Whats going on is that I bought a new Dell inspiron laptop computer with a 802.11g wireless card. I bought the router so I can create a wireless network.
When I connect the ethernet cable from the MODEM to my LAPTOP i can access the internet just fine when I click on internet explorer.
When I connect the router to the ethernet cable and try to setup the wireless network nothing happens and it won't finish the install from the LinkSYS CD I installed. I even tried to make it into a wired network.
(MODEM ----CABLE --ROUTER--CABLE---LAPTOP) but I couldn't setup up the internet at all either.
I click on the network connections(on my VISTAPC) and I can see the greens bars lit up on the LYNKSYS network and can't seem to connect to it.
when I take the cable from the router and put it straight into my laptop without my router the internet works just fine. Help! Thanks
Ernesto

hi... if you are aware of modem settings...logon to modem's setup page and select "ethernet bridged" and save the settings...connect modem >> router >> pc and logon to router's and select PPPoE under "automatic configuration DHCP" put the username and password and save the settings...click on status tab and try connecting to the PPPoE server...however if you are not aware of the modem settings...well in that case you need to get in touch with your ISP and convert the modem into the bridge mode...let me know if you have any issues will get back to you...
thanks.

Basic Setup Page doesn't display correctly.

I logged into my WRT54G router today to change some settings around but the page doesn't display any of the writing or links at the top of the page. I've tried reloading the page and resetting the router but neither of these worked.

Also when I click the "save changes" button nothing happens. When I opened the page in IE it gave me the Error on Page thing and I clicked it to see the errors. I had 52 errors total with the reason Object Expected for each one.

Cannot install Software for E2500 or access router setup page

Please help! I first bought the e1200 version and when I tried to download it on my computer, it worked at first and installed correctly, but the cisco connect didn't properly install. I was able to log into the router online setup page ONE time. I tried to reset it and reinstall but it will not work.
So I thought ok let me go and purchase a better one (thinking it was the router version having issues). So I brought it back and purchased the E2500 and I am having the same trouble.
I have tried to reset it about 20 times and reinstall and it will not install at all. It still gives me internet, but I cannot log into the http://192.168.1.1/ page at all, it tells me internet cannot display...
Please help!

Hi there. Please check first if router is responding properly. Are you on Mac or Windows? On Windows pc, open command prompt (start>run>cmd for XP/ start>search>cmd for Vista and Windows 7) and type ping 192.168.1.1 and press enter. If you are getting 4 lines of replies from 192.168.1.1 bytes 32 something then router is okay. On command prompt again go down to the next line where it has the flashing cursor and type this time: start http://192.168.1.1. After you press enter, your browser comes up and normally will prompt you to log-in to area 192.168.1.1 and that is where you can use admin in both fields (username and password since you reset the router already). If you get page cannot be displayed still, disable proxies on the browser. Example if you are on IE, you click tools and then internet options and go to connections and click lan settings. On the small window that comes up, just make sure nothing is checked and then try on the address bar again http://192.168.1.1. If your computer still cannot access it, try a different browser or a different computer.

Web page won't display

when i try to connect my laptop running on vista to the home hub 4 wirelessly it says that it is connected but it won't display any web pages saying there is a problem with the router or modem but my other laptop running on windows 7 has no problems please can anybody help??

As Keith has suggested, check that the drivers for the wireless card are up to date via the card manufacturers website, obviously you will need to do this on your other laptop and if need be download them then transfer to the Vista laptop. Also go into the hub management page and change the security from WPA and WPA2 to WPA only and see how you get on.
See link how to change hub security.

Template page won't display on the web.

One of my web pages was saved as a template and won't display graphics when uploaded, just code. It has the extension dwt. I thought probably what I should do is make
an html page copy and use that. I don't know how that is done, or if that would be the best solution. Any help would be appreciated.

You should never publish your Template.dwt file to the web except to have as a backup in case your Template ever becomes corrupted or lost.
Templates are a proprietary DW file type used to create the rest of your site pages. Go to File > New Page from Template. Select your .dwt file and hit create. The resulting new page is a child page based on that main template. Save as index.html (your home page). Repeat with other site pages.
Add editable content to each of your child pages. Everything outside Editable Regions in the template will be populated to all child pages -- very handy for site wide menus, headers, footers and sidebars.
When you edit a template, you must re-publish all child pages based on that template to your server.
For more details on the use of DW Templates, use F1 Help in DW.
