WRT54GS V.6 Issue/help!!!

Alright i have an issue where my wireless router is blocking microsoft and anti-virus websites from d/ling. Also cannot d/l updates for any programs that are connected to mircosoft in anyway. I thought it was a virus but that went away once i cleaned out my whole pc, thought it was my internet provider but since everything works fine if i connect the enternal cord directly to my pc. My internet is from comcast and i have been having this problem for months now. Is there anyway i can fix this issue?

Man I thought for sure the Act light would be out for sure....
Unless you have a really complicated network set up at your house I would just do a hard reset and see if that fixes it.
Hold the reset button for 30sec and unplug the power cable for 1min, Then reconfigure the router the way you like it.
Default username and password is "admin" if that does not work leave the username blank and put "admin" in for password.
GoodLuck
Matt

    You're probably running into the servers simply being swamped. Thousands of people are all going for the software update at the same time. Give it a try again and if that doesn't work, then try plugging it into your computer and trying it that way.
    I didn't get a notion of the size, it doesn't seem to be as big as the 700 meg 5.0 update, but it did take me 20+ minutes to download via cable internet so it's a large file. That in and of itself takes a while.
    If you're trying to download it directly to your iPhone, you'll need to be on wifi since I'm sure it's well over the 20 meg file size limit for 3G.

  • WRT54G Version 3.1 Connection Issues - Help Please

    Good Morning,
    We have a WRT54G Version 3.1. Our existing network is wired and functions fine, I am adding the WRT54G for a few wireless clients.
    During testing I have connected the wireless to my computer via CAT5 cable to port 1. I have connected another CAT5 cable to the internet port of the router from a known good wall jack.
    When I first open the default address 192.168.1.1 and enter the password, all seems well. Due to having servers that hand out IP addresses, I disable the routers DHCP capability.
    I enter the following information for example:
    Local IP: 81.0.0.90
    Gateway: 81.0.0.1
    Subnet: 255.255.255.0
    DHCP disabled
    etc.
    After changing the the local IP and receiving a confirmation that my changes were saved and I will be going back to the previous page, the page won't display with the address changed to 81.0.0.90 and it is blank.
    I release my IP address through cmd, clear my dns cache and reboot the computer. After restart, I am presented with the stock MS address of 169.254.X.X.
    I cannot connect to the local IP I established at 81.0.0.90 and nothing appears to work. The only thing I can do is reset the router and start from scratch...again.
    Any ideas on what keeps happening and how it can be resolved once and for all?
    Thanks in advance

    even if you have two DHCP enabled on both routers in your network, you will not get an IP adress conflict (exception of course if you're cascading two wireless routers).
    a LAN port (ethernet router) to WAN port (wireless router) connection can be established allowing you to have both DHCP server enabled on your routers.
    by doing the LAN to WAN connection, you will have two networks in a network.. both network won't meet cuz they will have different IP adress... router 1: could be 81.0.0.90, then router 2 could be 81.0.0.91.
    if you want your two routers to meet and be in the network together, you just need to follow QUAK's suggestion to assign a static IP adress on your PC. or better yet, you can just connect the router you're disabling the DHCP server with to it's LAN port from a LAN port as well of your DHCP server (router 1). this is a LAN to LAN connection... by doing that, you will be able to open up the interface of your router 2(DHCP disabled) since your PC connected to it will get an IP adress...

  • Help. WRT54G IP Address issues

    Can't get computer to find router. Can't get online through router to get to setup page. Setup disc error message "unable to connect to router......".

    If you want to try to use the setup disk again, you must first 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.

  • Problem with Linksys WRT54GS router? Please help.

    Alright, so I have the WRT54GS, and for the longest time after I bought it, it worked just fine, but I've been experiencing problems lately. We have 2 computers running off the router. One is a wired connection, and mine is wireless, which I'm starting to hate. So whenever I'm playing any kind of game that takes up a lot of bandwidth, such as Call of Duty 4, it's been really laggy, and I get connection interruptions quite often. It disconnects me from all my online programs and, i have to wait about 20 seconds and the connection returns again. It's almost as if the router is just under strain and temporarily gives out? It happens if the other computer is running, or if mine is the only one being used. I really hope this problem is normal and fixable, because I don't have the money for a new router. So I'm wondering, can anyone help me? Please, any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

    Try the steps below to see if it will help.
    There are many reasons for a poor wireless connection, and many ways to solve this issue.
    1.      Give your network a unique SSID and do not use Linksys and set your SSID Broadcast to enable.
    2.      You can also try A different channel. There are 11 channels and  1, 6 or 11 is better
    3.      You can try raising your router approximately 4-6 feet above the floor and make sure the antennas are vertical.
    4.      access your wireless software by going to your Profile or preferred networks, if any are named Linksys or ones that you do not know please delete them. Go to the settings or properties and check the information to make sure it is correct.
    5.      See if there are any updated drivers to download.
    6.      Try to use WPA encryption if you can
    *** As always upgrade to the latest firmware

  • Linksys WRT54G v5 - Connection issues

    Good evening,
    I picked up a new WRT54G (v5) the other day to replace an old BEFW11 router, and so far have been far less than impressed.  I have one computer on the wired connection, and one on wireless.  It seems, though, that if the wireless system is running any P2P software (Limewire, in this case), or anything else which creates a large number of simultaneous connections (BitTorrent for d/ling CD images, for instance), the router simply dies.  Although any existing TCP connections are fine (e.g. MSN Messenger switchboard connections, though not _new_ conversations), it is virtually impossible to generate any new TCP connections.  They appear to connect immediately, and then disconnect less than a second later.  This occurs for HTTP, SSH, Telnet, IMAP, and SMTP connections, so far as I've tried.
    A hard reset of the router seems to be the only thing that helps. 
    I ran into similar issues with the BEFW11, and ended up using it only as an access point, and relying on an old D-Link DI-704P to take care of NAT -- and this worked fine.  But in this case, I want to take the DI-704 with me when I move, not leave it here ... and so I would really prefer if the Linksys could, uh, do what it's supposed to in the first place. 
    I tried upgrading the firmware to v1.00.9, but after sitting there for a few minutes I ended up with a "this page cannot be displayed" error from I E.  I'm going to give it another shot, but am a little hesitant to reboot the router at this point because I have no idea if it will be toast at that point or not. 
    EDIT: Now upgraded to v1.00.9.  Apparently this doesn't work over HTTPS, but it worked fine via HTTP itself.  We'll see if this has made a difference ...
    I see some similar reports from other people.  Any suggestions?

    yeah use a WRT54GL instead. my website is unindated with wrt54g/GS v5 and v6 router problems. how linksys has been able to ignore this problem is beyond me. the WRT54GL is by far the better router. (linux based)

  • WRT54G v6 Connection issue

    The firmware that was shipped with this router (WRT54G v6) seemed to have a corrupt web GUI. So I decided to upgrade and fix the problem as well as get some added features.  I successfully flashed DD-WRT micro Generic v23 SP1 onto the router using TFTP and have had it running smoothly for about 2 months now. 
    Side note: In the process of flashing the firmware I had several problems, but I found the router had a boot-wait automatically setup. Eventually resolved the issue.
    Apparently my roommate came to it one day and saw it had no connection. (Not knowing what to do) He hit the "Secure Easy Setup" button on the front, with no results.  I'm not sure if this button has any affect on the router since the firmware had changed.  Now I can't seem to access to router at all.  All 4 Ethernet connection lights steady on as well as the power light.
    I can't seem to ping the router (using static IP and 10base half-duplex or otherwise).  I've tried power-cycling a number of different ways (including holding reset, power off, power on while still holding reset)  Although when I first start the router, the power light blinks for ~8 seconds for the boot-wait sequence.  I can't get TFTP to flash anything onto my router as I did before (from command prompt or GUI mode).  After trying these methods repeatedly and varied, I've about run out of options.
    I'm sorry for the length of my post; I felt I should describe the situation.  I'd appreciate any help you guys could provide.  Let me know if there is any info I've neglected to post.

    Well you can just send it to Linksys and see what they do and if they do it under warranty. Either they simply reflash the firmware with tools they have available and never notice or they notice and let you know that they won't do it for free. In the latter case you just let them know that they can keep it. As you are planning to buy a new router anyway you don't really loose anything except a bricked router (O.K. some spare parts maybe...).
    I am not aware that all v6 routers have a broken GUI. Maybe your router was bad from the beginning...Message Edited by gv on 06-09-200710:53 PM

  • WRT54G wierd connection issue

    this problem just started the other day... i am unable to connect to Internet explorer or AIM, it tells me no connection. but the wierd thing is, is i have connection, i can log into Ventrilo, i can play Counter strike Source Online, but World Of Warcraft tells me no connection, so half of my online things work, half dont.  I am able to write this post because if i plug the modem directly into computer it works fine, but it doesnt fix all the other computers we have that are wireless.
    The router i have is the WRT54G, the modem is SurfBoard SB3100 Cable Modem, internet service is Adelphia (now time warner), not sure if you guys want to know that.
    but it seems to be a direct issue witht he router as i can do everything fine normally
    oh, and the router is passworded, not sure the correct term, but to get on my wireless you need to enter a set IP and stuff
    thanks for any help (i d/led new firmware, havent tryed it yet though) a friend told me that may help

    Your friend may be correct.  Flash your firmware then reset the router to Factory Default settings, then reconfigure it for your ISP and wireless network.  Let us know how that turns out.

  • Router & Outlook Express Issues - help!

    I'm losing my mind and pulling out my hair. I have a Dell desktop and recently purchased a Linksys WRT54G (version 5) router and a brand-spanking new Dell wireless notebook (Inspiron E1505).
    After installing the router on my desktop - we noticed some server issues with our email system (Outlook Express). I'm not having connectivitity issues as we can connect to Internet Explorer fine. BUT, when I go to Send/Receive in Outlook express to send/receive emails it is 'acting quirky'. This is on both desktop and notebook computers but more on the new notebook. It inconsistently pulls mail. Sometimes it works great and sometimes it has a server time out and just hangs on. Mostly getting that 'PoP3 servers is not responding. Would you like to wait for 60 seconds'. If I shut down Outlook and retry, sometimes it pulls/sends mail - sometimes not. I've been on the phone with my DSL provider (Alltel, now Windstream) and Linksys. Additionally the modem we're using is speedstream.
    Suppposedly there is a conflict with the version 5 model of Linksys routers and Outlook Express. I heard this through my DSL provider - Linksys didn't really own up to this 'conflict'. I've done tons of troubleshooting with Linksys tech (opened Outlook Express ports, updated firmware, adjusted MTU...) Nothing working. Email will work 'ok' for an hour but then back to quirkyness...not pulling email great. Not 'connecting to server great'. When I click SEND in Outlook it just keeps saying 'connecting to pop.windstream.net and then a pop up window saying "Your POP3 server has not responded in 60 seconds....would you like to stop/wait'.
    I'm considering returning my router and getting another brand but don't want to jump the gun until I'm 120% sure that it's a conflict with the new Linksys router and Outlook Express and I cannot do anything to fix it. My next door neighbor is in the SAME boat. Same router, same DSL provider, new wireless notebook -same Outlook Express mail issues. Thank you for any thoughts you might have - again, I've done extensive trouble shooting with my DSL provider and Linksys - to no avail. .....

    [email protected] - this is email on my notebook

    This worked for myself...(Thanks Isy B)
    * Go back to the router's 'Setup' page (192.168.1.1). and to the 'Advanced' tab
    * Click on the 'Forwarding' tab
    * Under the 'Customized Application' type: Outlook 3 times.
    * Then on 'Ext. Port', type: 25 to 25, 110 to 110 and 113 to 113.
    * Put a check in 'Protocol TCP' and one in 'Enable' at the end
    * Click Apply button at the bottom of page
    Now in Outlook Express (may be different if using outlook)
    * Tools and then Accounts - a window will open, make sure you are on the mail tab
    * Highlight mail account and hit Properties
    * Goto the Advance tab
    * Verify Outgoing mail (SMTP) = 25 &Incoming mail (POP3) = 110
    * Make sure nothing else is checked
    * Hit o.k.
    This worked for myself, hope it's helpful for some others as well...

  • WRT54G Ver2 VPN issue

    I have a HUGE issue with the WRT54G Version 2, Firmware 4.21.1. I have been beating my brains out trying to get this to access my clients VPN. After having no luck, I replaced it with my own WRT54G Version 1 and all works fine. All the settings are exactly the same, but I can not get the VPN to connect. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    This did not work. In fact, once completed I rebooted the router and was not even able to get back on the Internet. I assumed it was the router, so I bought a new WRT54G Version 8 with Firmware 8.0.0. Guess what, this does not allow VPN traffic either. I find this very odd, since all the settings are correct and ports are opened.

  • WRT54GS VPN Connection Issues: Error code 87

    Hello experts,
    I have unsuccessfully tried to help my wife connect her XP laptop to her work VPN over our home wi-fi network. I have a WRT54GS v.4 router with the latest firmware, WPA2 encryption. It connects to the VPN just fine but is unable to ping any internal IP addresses and I get the following log message everytime. 
    1      09:58:43.546  10/10/09  Sev=Warning/2 CVPND/0xE3400013
    AddRoute failed to add a route: code 87
     Destination 192.168.1.255
     Netmask 255.255.255.255
     Gateway 192.168.1.1
     Interface 192.168.1.237

    Unable to add route. Network: c0a801ff, Netmask: ffffffff, Interface: c0a801ed, Gateway: c0a80101.
    I have tried the following troubleshooting tasks:
    a) Plugged her laptop directly to the cable modem >> Works like a charm which makes me think it has got to be a router issue.
    b) Reset to factory defaults, tried running it without any encryption, tried running it in DMZ mode >> No joy, still get the same above error message in the VPN log.
    c) Opened up ports 500 and 1723 for TCP/IP and UDP with her laptop's IP address >> Still no luck.
    All passthrough options are enabled for VPN in the router's config interface. I have also tried disabling the router's firewall.
    I am at my wit's end here guys. Is it possible that the WRT54GS isn't VPN friendly (although it seems very unlikely) and I just have to get another router? Any help is appreciated.
    Edit: The VPN server is IPSec/UDP
    Message Edited by sidewinder_us on 10-10-2009 07:36 AM

    No, I wasn't trying to ping my router from the VPN connection, I was trying to ping the VPN host server at the office for troubleshooting purposes and the request times out everytime. I am still getting the error message in the log "AddRoute failed to add a route: code 87". I disabled "Block Anonymous Internet Requests" like you said but it didn't make any difference. I am able to ping the computer's IP address assigned by the VPN but I can't ping the host server or anything else.
    It's basically connecting to the VPN but not connecting as in I can't do anything on the VPN like access local folders or run a specific software called eClinicalWorks which works fine from the office.
    If I plug the laptop directly to the cable modem, I don't get that error message in the VPN client's log anymore and everything works fine.

  • CS4 Text Wrap issue - HELP!

    HELP!  I taught myself PageMaker 6.5 and I got REALLY good at the basics, but not so great at the in-depth things.  Consequently, when I upgraded to InDesign CS4, the same holds true, so please feel free to treat me like a 2-year-old in your explanations.  Now for my dilemma:
    I create a quarterly magazine.  Most of the pages are 2- or 3-column spreads.  Many times, a photograph (and its caption) will span more than just one column, but not necessarily the entire width of two.  In other words, my photo could span all of column 1 and 1/2 of column 2, with the text flowing to the right of the photograph, then expanding to fill all of column no. 2 beneath it.  In PageMaker, when I text-wrapped around the pic, leaving enough bottom text wrap to insert my captioning, the text would wrap perfectly, keeping the text in perfect alignment horizontally across the columns.  That, in turn, kept the bottom edge of all my columns exactly equal. 
    In InDesign, however, that's not the case. The text doesn't align equally horizontally across the columns, hence ruining my clean horizontal text margin at the bottom.  This happens any time I have a photo that spans all of one and part of one (or two, in the case of a centered photograph) column.  In fact, even if I place a photo that fits within just one column, the horizontal text alignment gets screwed up.  I'm attaching a .pdf of page 35 of the issue I'm working on to show you what I mean.
    I've tried choosing all three columns and clicking the "align top edges," but that just drags all three columns up to the 1/2 inch margin at the top of the page, and my text actually starts 1/4" beneath that (3/4" from the top page edge) because of the page numbering, and when I drag all three columns back down to the 3/4" mark, the wrapping gets all screwed up again.  So I tried "align bottom edges," and that didn't work either (it worked to a point... anything that actually had text flowing to the bottom of the column was fine, the same thing occurred then above the column with a photo spanning all of it.  Geez, I'm confused just trying to explain it.  Hopefully, the attached .pdf will help make sense of this.  
    Consequently, I'm moving columns manually for this issue (all 60 pages of it), because it has to be at the printers by the end of the weekend and I'm just plain out of time.  If anyone can give me some guidance so I don't have to do this again next time, I'd really appreciate it.
    You can email me at [email protected] if you have any ideas. Thanks for your help.
    Barb

    Thanks so much to both Peter and Bob.  I'm sure this will fix the problem.  At least I know it wasn't something I was doing wrong and it really is a glitch in the program.  I'll play with the baseline grid, since it seems that will be the best option. I have a few months to experiment with it before the next issue goes to press.
    Does setting a preference act like a default?  In other words, will it then apply to all pages in all new documents I create or is it specific to the document in which I'm working when I set it? If the latter, I'm guessing I can just include it when I set up my master page so it will apply throughout the issue?  Which, of course brings me to yet another question: how do I save my Master Pages so I don't have to redo them with each issue?
    I'm finding that the majority of InDesign is a lot more user-friendly and easier to navigate than the old PageMaker -- many fewer steps for the same end result.  I hope to take a class if I can find one in my area, because I'm certain I'm doing many things the "hard way."  Learning as you go is okay, but you miss a lot of the finer points along the way and spend entirely too much time trying to figure things out or bugging people like you in this forum.
    I apologize if some of what I ask seems rather elementary. 
    And Scott, sorry, but I've always felt that, out of all the fonts available, Comic Sans is the most readable.

  • DVR/STB/Remote issues - Help Needed

    New to Verizon FIOS (Installed about 2 weeks ago).  Have a few issues. Any help is appreciated
    1) When im on the Home Media DVR and i fast forward through a program, when i stop or hit play, an extremely loud beep that lasts for 1-3 seconds comes from the speakers.  How do i get this to stop, what is causing it, etc?
    2) When i fast forward from one of the STB (regular HD box), if i hit FF once, it fast forwards pretty slow, if i hit it again, it goes somewhat faster.  The problem is.  When i hit it that 2nd time, it seems that 70-80% of the time, it jumps me back to an early portion of the program.  I.E.  Was watching the 2 hour episode of "24", was one hour and 20 min in, got to commercials, i hit FF twice and it jumped me back to 23 minutes in.  Tried again at next commercial break and it jumped me back to 11 minutes in.  What is the deal here?  How do i fix it?
    3) Are there only 2 fast forward speeds on STB?  I came from Brighthouse that had 4 speeds, im a little disappointed with only 2 speeds.  Can anyone verify?
    4) The remotes seem to take 2 seconds or so to register when performing any function other than changing channels.  When i hit FF or REW, DVR or Last, it seems to take a few seconds to kick in.  Is this a known issue, or possibly my box or remotes?
    Thanks for any and all help

    Sorry the ff speeds are the same. On the main MR-DVR there are 3 ff speeds, where the remote STB has 2 ff speeds. I think they did that because how the remote system works, it has slower responses being remote. But with the update you will not need to worry about the ff, because you will not get the hub error. I was one of the first people to get the update and I have not seen the hub error yet.
    As far as a time frame I don't believe there is any thing public about it, I think the only thing they have said is it is going to be rolled out per market, and one market a week. But nothing on the order of the markets.
