WRT54GS V4 router problem

Not too much networking savvy - but here goes. Want to use router as local lan - no wireless. When router is connected to laptop via RJ45 I loose my ability to connect to sites via browser. IPconfig shows wireless adapter at 192.168.1.3. When router is attached it's ip is 192.168.1.1. Disabled the wireless in the settings but no help. When the router was used with DSL it was set at PPPoE but now that I'm just using it locally not sure whether it should be DHCP or Static or other. I'm hoping this is a "settings" issue. Any help appreciated.....Bob
PS My internet access is wireless to an AT&T hotspot (Elevate product)

It doesn't matter whether or not it's DHCP or PPPoE, just make sure that the DHCP server function is enabled. It looks like the problem is that windows (I'm guessing that's your OS) is selecting the wired connection as the primary connection, instead of the wireless connection.
I would recommend trying out this solution. I was going to say try bridging the two connections in windows network and sharing center, but I'm not sure if that will work since I've never tried it.
Some other posters might have better solutions too, but this is just what I heard that worked.
I don't work for Cisco. I'm just here to help.

WRT54G Wireless Router Problem. Need Help!

I'll start with the basics of my situation and if more details are needed, I will provide to the best of my ability.
I have a comcast cable internet connection. I have 6 computers in my house. Two of them are downstairs (which is where our modem is.) The other four computers are upstairs. All of these computers are Desktop computers with the exception of one laptop.
My laptop (which is Windows XP) can pick up a random wireless signal from the room it is in. I also found out a way to share the internet connection on the computer by going into the properties of my network connection and enabling internet sharing on it. This means if I connect a network cable from my laptop to another computer, I can leech the connection from my laptop and have internet access on the other computer. I also had a switch that I used to connect the other 3 computers upstairs by means of the laptop. The problem was, the laptop was using someone else's wireless connection in the area, and it wasn't strong enough to keep up a constant connection.
I decided, if I can leech someone else's wireless connection, why not have my own. So i recently bought WRT54G Wireless Router and set it up on one of the computers downstairs (because that's where the modem is). It works fine as far as connecting my laptop to the internet from upstairs. My laptop can access the internet through the connection I set up in the LELA program.
Here is the part I am confused about. Everything is plugged in correctly as far as the router is concerned because the laptop can access the internet. But when I connect an ethernet cable directly to one of my other computers (which are Windows Vista, but I didn' t have a problem with it previously when I was leeching someone else's connection), the connection drops on my laptop, and the other computer still can't access the internet. A notice pops up that says its trying to identify the network, but it gives an error that says there is something wrong with the DNS. As soon as I disconnect the ethernet cable connecting my laptop to one of the other computers, the connection is fine again on the laptop. It's only when I connect the computers together that the connection drops.
I just don't understand why it wouldn't work when I created my own network if it worked with another network with no problem. My whole point in getting a wireless router was to have a router within good range to keep up a constant connection on my other computers that aren't in range of the modem downstairs. I just don't know where else to look. I'm not sure if it can be fixed on LELA, manually through my wireless settings, or if it could be a problem with one of my computers' settings. I've tried many different things and I'm not sure what else to do so any help is most definately appreciated. I feel like I've tried everything. I know it's possible because I've one it before, I just need the help because I'm not much of a networking person and I don't know what I should start with to make this work.
Thank you to anyone who can help or even point me in the right direction.

WRT54GS v6 router problem

A friend of mine sold me a laptop with integrated wi-fi. I use WRT54GS v6 router. The internet connection works fine but when i try to transfer files from my pc to laptop using the home LAN i have setup the connection is lost and it tries to aquire network address. My friend used a D-Link router and the LAN was fine. I upgraded the firmware of WRT54GS v6 to 1.50.9 throug linksys official website. What might be the problem?

I would say check the Link Speed or rate for your wireless card properties. There should be several choices including Auto-Detect. Somewhere to start...

Vista - WRT54G Wireless Router Problem

I'm sure your all tired of answering this question or variations of, but here we go. I have a WRT54G V.6 wireless router running a hard wired pretty new Hp Pavallion With Vista Home premium. It's running an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5000+- 2.60 GHz w/ 1918 Megs of RAM. Problem 1.) is connection. For whatever reason it just seems to drop my internet for no reason. I then reboot the system to get back. This work MOST times. Problem 2.) is the speed. To open a web page seems to take in excesively long time, 30 -45 seconds on avg. per page. I HAD an old dell also connected to the system wirelessy that ran flawlessy, although it did run XP. And the speed was great. And now connect wirelessly with my work comp with no problems at all. Speed is great and connectivity is stable. SO why am I having such a problem with this router on this OS? I would love some help with this or a work around to get connectivity and speed workable.
Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Problem with wired computers on a WRT54G wireless router

I have a WRT54G wireless router that has been working flawlessly up until now. On Sunday, my son informed me that his computer, which is wired wasn't connecting to the internet. Upon further investigating, we found out that our wired computer in our gameroom wasn't connected either. However, our main pc, which is also wired, was connecting just fine. I checked my laptop and several other wireless devices and they were online as well.
Here's the weird thing. In my gameroom, I have just one cable coming into the room from the router. That cable connects to a 5 port switch which then connects to my gameroom pc, Xbox 360, and Playstation 2. I checked my Xbox 360 and it connected to Xbox Live as soon as I turned it on so that told me that I had connectivity coming from the router and the switch. But why was the pc not connecting?
Anyway, I restarted the router, but that didn't fix the issue. I then restarted my cable modem, a Motorola Surfboard, and the router and the issue was resolved. All my pcs were connecting again.
Everything was fine until yesterday when the exact same issue occurred. This time the modem and router restarts did not fix the problem. Again, I have connectivity coming from the router to the 5 port switch because my wired Xbox 360 connects just fine, but my wired pc does not. My son's wired computer is not connecting, but my main pc is. I cannot figure out how to resolve this issue.

Might be possible that the router need reconfiguration ... So reset the router...for few seconds ... after reset ... Please access the setup page of the router by launching an Internet Explorer and type on the address bar, 192.168.1.1 and press enter. When it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field empty and provide password as “admin "" all in lower cases and then click on ok. On the main setup page the ""Internet Connection Type"" should be on ""Obtain IP Automatically - DHCP “. Click on the Save Settings button. Now click on the sub tab ""MAC address clone"". - Click on enable - Click on clone your PC's MAC button and then click on the Save Settings button. Power cycle the network again & see if it works ...

RTSP steaming Port Forward (?) problems with 4 (four) WVC54GCA cameras on WRT54G v2 router.

I am having difficulties correctly setting up my four (4) WVC54GCA cameras on a WRT54G v2 router to make them stream RTSP videos that I can view on my BlackBerry Bold. I can access the cameras from the internet, through
http://CAM1_SubDomain.Linksys-Cam.com/1024
http://CAM2_SubDomain.Linksys-Cam.com/1025
http://CAM3_SubDomain.Linksys-Cam.com/1026
http://CAM4_SubDomain.Linksys-Cam.com/1027
so that part works fine.
All the 4 cameras are set up with static IP addresses.
The default RTSP port 554 and RTP Data port at 5000 are forwarded to CAM1 IP address. I can access CAM1 RTSP feed on my Blackberry Bold (and also on a good old Samsung SGH-A706 cell phone).
CAM 1 Settings:
STATIC IP: 192.168.1.201
Alternate HTTP Port: 1024 à Forwarded to 192.168.1.201
RTSP Port: 554 à Forwarded to 192.168.1.201
RTSP Data Port: 5000 à Forwarded to 192.168.1.201
RTSP access on cell phone WORKS only with the following format: rtsp://CAM1_SubDomain.Linksys-Cam.com/1111, where 1111 is the access code.
CAM 2 Settings:
STATIC IP: 192.168.1.202
Alternate HTTP Port: 1025 à Forwarded to 192.168.1.202
RTSP Port: 1029 à Forwarded to 192.168.1.202
RTSP Data Port: NOT SURE IF I NEED TO FORWARD ONE, HELP PLEASE
Despite I have a dedicated subdomain for each camera from TZO, the following link DOESN’T WORK
rtsp://CAM2_SubDomain.Linksys-Cam.com/1111, where 1111 is the access code.
Actually, when I enter the above link, the cellphone brings in the feed from CAM1, I guess due to the identical access code with CAM2. Once I change the access code for CAM2, it doesn’t’t show any feed.
CAM 3 Settings:
STATIC IP: 192.168.1.203

Despite I have a dedicated subdomain for each camera from TZO, the following link DOESN’T WORK
rtsp://CAM3_SubDomain.Linksys-Cam.com/1111, where 1111 is the access code. This feed also brings in CAM1.
CAM 4 Settings:

DMZ could probably fix the problem for a second camera, but not for all four CAMs
OS: XP SP2
Question 1: Any idea how can I get all the four cameras RTSP feed on my cell/BlackBerry?
Question 2: I am running out of Port Range forwards. Should I add more port forwards, I have only one more shot. Any workaround?
Each and every help idea is greatly appreciated!

I have six of these cams and used the tutorial and review at http://www.Myhomserver.com for help. First thing, set ALL the RTSP access codes the SAME, so all you need to do is increment the port for each cam
Cam 1 - 192.168.1.200 - set at port 80 TCP - RTSP port default at 554, forward port 5000 UDP/TCP and the RTSP access code 12345
Cam 2 - 192.168.1.201 - set at port 1024 TCP - RTSP port at 1029, forward port 5001 UDP/TCP and the RTSP access code 12345
Cam 3 - 192.168.1.202 - set at port 1025 TCP - RTSP port at 1030, forward port 5002 UDP/TCP and the RTSP access code 12345
Cam 4 - 192.168.1.203 - set at port 1026 TCP - RTSP port at 1031, forward port 5003 UDP/TCP and the RTSP access code 12345
Cam 5 - 192.168.1.204 - set at port 1027 TCP - RTSP port at 1032, forward port 5004 UDP/TCP and the RTSP access code 12345
Cam 6 - 192.168.1.205 - set at port 1028 TCP - RTSP port at 1033, forward port 5005 UDP/TCP and the RTSP access code 12345
This worked for me using the above settings....take your time, plan out the ports, all RTSP ports must be different on each cam
Accessing CAMS can be done via your cell phone below:
Camera 1---> RTSP://<your TZO camera domain>:554/12345
Camera 2---> RTSP://<your TZO camera domain>:1029/12345
Camera 3---> RTSP://<your TZO camera domain>:1030/12345
Camera 4---> RTSP://<your TZO camera domain>:1031/12345
Camera 5---> RTSP://<your TZO camera domain>:1032/12345
Camera 6---> RTSP://<your TZO camera domain>:1033/12345

Problem Using WRT54G As Router/Gateway

Have a home network with following configuration:
Windows 2000 domain with one box acting as the domain server, the DNS server, and the DHCP server.
4 PCs with wired connections to an 8 port hub. All of the wired PCs point to the domain server for DNS/DHCP.
A DSL modem routed through a sonicwall firewall to the 8 port hub (I don't knw if I'm saying this right, but all wired PC's are routed to the firewall then out to the internet, while all incoming traffic is routed through the firewall before reaching the LAN).
This wired network has worked fine, but we also have a number of laptops with wireless adapters, so we purchased a WRT54G to work with these laptops.
My idea was to just have the WRT54G attached to one of the ports on the hub (with no direct connection to a computer) and have all of our laptops connect to the WRT54G wirelessly, then be routed back and forth using the WRT54G.
Was finally able to set up the WRT54G with only one connection (via one of the 4 ports on the back of the WRT54G) to the (wired) 8 port hub. Our laptops generally can see the WRT54G, but routing is intermittant at best. I disabled DHCP on the WRT54G...this seemed to help, but not for long. I also established a reserved IP for the WRT54G on the DHCP server, but the intermittant problem still keeps happening (seems to route on the laptops for a while, then it just stops). In Basic Setup, I set the Internat Connection Typt to "Automatic Configuration - DHCP". IN Advanced Routing, I set the operating mode to "Router" (vs. Gateway).
Can anyone tell from this description where I'm going wrong? I can get the laptops to see the wireless and route for a short time, but it never seems to keep working (also note that on a couple of the laptops, the network icon states that the laptop was not able to connect to the wireless network...but it's able to route using IE????).
Thanks for any help!
Dan

Thanks Helm.
I had done what you suggested (which is consistent with directions I found last night at directions I've found at http://routersetup.blogspot.com/2007/08/connecting-two-routers-wired.html), but I'm still having some intermittant problems. My Vista laptop doesn't seem to be having any problems at all, while one of the two XP boxes will connect for (only) a couple minutes after rebooting, and the other XP machine will not connect at all (although it seems to find the wrt54g...it just ends up saying it's having a dns problem).
With this in mind, I think my problem is not necessarily related to the wrt54g now (although we do have cordless phones, but they are 5.4 ghz)....will keep playing with this...is there any limit to the number of laptops that can be connected this way?

WRT54GS ROUTER PROBLEM

I HAVE A WRT54GS WIRELESS ROUTER. TRYED TO SET IT UP. AFTER DOING SO IT WILL NOT CONNECT WIRELESS UN LESS I ALSO CONNECT TO A BROADBAND CONNECTION ON THE CONPUTER. SO IN SHORT TO CONNECT WIRELESSLY I HAVE TO FIRST CONNECT TO A BROADBAND CONNECTION ON MY LAPTOP THEN CLICK THE WIRELESS CONECTION AND CONNECT THAT TOO. , THEN EVERYTHING WORKS FINE. EITHER ONE NOT CONNECTED WILL NOT LET IT WORK. AND YES I AM NOT HARDWIRED AT ANY TIME.
THANK YOU
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I see. Do you still remember your username and password?
You need the router to do the PPPoE authentication instead of your computer. That way, you don't have to click the broadband icon.
Log in to the router's setup page and follow this procedure. Start at Step7.

New WRT54G wireless router. Who's the genius that can help me?

I just purchased a WRT54G wireless router. The main reason is my son wanted to be able to use his Sony PSP online. I also have two desktop computers that will be wired thru this router. My question's are. If he is using his PSP online and the desktops are wired, can the desktops be "hacked" if they are on/off? If the router is turned off then the wireless is not working? If I access the router and disable the SSID Broadcast then the wireless portion of the network is off? What are the safest security settings to protect my network?
Thanks.

Dead Mans Zone.... I guess.
Using the DMZ is a very simple and risky way to forward ports. The DMZ takes an ip address of a computer on your network, and forwards all ports to that computer. This is really nice if you are having problems forwarding ports for some program. It can be a life saver if your router will not allow you to properly forward ports. It also has a huge downfall. The computer that is in the DMZ is now wide open to internet traffic. Meaning that it will catch virii, and it will be at risk of being hacked. If you put a computer into the DMZ then please install a software firewall to help protect it
Orange/White. The Cisco logo is the Router’s SecureEasySetup button. It lights up and will stay orange when the Router is powered on. The color orange indicates that the Router is not using the SecureEasySetup feature, while the color white indicates that the Router is using the SecureEasySetup feature. When the Router enters SecureEasySetup mode, the Cisco logo will turn white and start flashing. After the Router has generated the SSID and WPA-PSK (also called WPA-Personal) key, the Cisco logo will stop flashing and stay white.

MacBook Pro can't obtain IP address from Linksys WRT54G v2 router

I believe I am having the issue described in the article below:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304817
In a nutshell, AirPort seems to be seeing the wireless router just fine, but internet connect is a no go. The router is a Linksys WRT54G v2, which should - SHOULD - work w/ my brand new MBP C2D 17", based on the reports I have seen in other threads here.
In the Network Status tab of the network pref pane, the message is: "Airport is connected to the network linksys. Airport has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the Internet." This is in line with the Apple tech doc cited at the link above.
I am starting a new thread on this because, unlike many of the other folks who are having problems connecting wirelessly, my actual wireless connection seems to be rock solid (AirPort connects to the Linksys instantly, and shows up as full strength with no apparent dropouts). The problem seems to be with the IP address, as the MBP can't/won't pickup anything other than its self assigned IP when connecting.
Here are the things I have tried so far (most of which are probably irrelevant as it turns out, b/c the actual wireless connection has been fine - just not the TCP/IP stuff):
1. Updated to latest firmware in router.
2. Tried switching to different wireless channel (ch. 11 in this case, based on reports in other threads).
3. In Linksys settings, changed beacon interval to 50 and lowered packet thresholds as described in another post (can't find the link right now).
4. Formatted and re-installed OSX onto the MBP. Did NOT use Migration Assistant this time (since others were apparently having problems due to out of date prefs and PowerPC related items copied over from older machines).
5. Updated to latest version of OSX Tiger (10.4.8 with all patches installed) using a wired Ethernet connection to the internet.
6. Downloaded and installed the AirPort Update patch 2006-002 located at:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airportupdate2006002.html
7. Repeatedly trashed all AirPort-related keychain items and the SystemPreferences folder in Root/Library/Preferences.
8. Repeatedly trashed and re-created a new wireless location using Network Assistant.
9. Salaam thrice towards Cupertino, wave rubber chicken and bathe self in pigs' blood while humming a continuous medley of Mac startup chimes from the last two decades.
Just kidding about #9, mostly.
I am starting a new thread about this because I believe my issue is OS related. The AirPort hardware seems to have a a full-strength and non-intermittent connection to the Linksys router. The problem appears to be w/ the (in)ability of OSX to negotiate an IP lease with the Linksys box.
I am posting this to the Linksys forum as well, but do not believe this to be a Linksys issue. I have two other PowerPC-based Mac laptops in my office, both of which connect flawlessly to the Linksys. (I'm typing this from one of them.) In fact, I have torture tested my new MBP with several other wireless routers with the same result - MBP will not connect, while both of the PowerBooks work like a charm with the other routers in question. Therefore, it surely seems to me like the common denominator here is definitely the MBP and not the router. I realize that in the support doc at the top of this post, Apple claims it is the responsibility of the router manufacturer, but I just cannot buy that line - based on the fact that EVERY OTHER LAPTOP that I own works great with the Linksys except for my shiny new MBP.
Beautiful machine otherwise and I really can't wait to get it working, but this is a SERIOUS pain in the you know what.
At any rate, if anyone has any ideas as to what to try next, I would love to hear about it. I will be calling AppleCare again first thing tomorrow morning, but it always seems the users are better informed than the Apple guys.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

if other computers connect to the router just fine , doesn't seem to me a router problem then .. the only thing i can think is to try connecting to a different network and see whether it does any good to u...can't help much if it's an OS related issue...

Internet Connection no longer working with WRT54G V3 Router

I have had a WRT54G V3 router working successfully for a number of years now with a couple wireless PCs through a cable modem with Comcast as my ISP. All of a sudden yesterday, neither PC could access the internet. No changes had been made to the router.
I contacted Comcast and they of course had me hard-wire one of my PCs into the cable modem. That worked and I was able to access the internet. However, when I tried to put the router back in place (in either a wired or wireless fashion), I could not access the internet.
I've tried following the online Linksys troubleshooting documention. The lights that should be lit on the router are lit. I can access the router setup web page which shows the settings still intact. I've tried going through the power sequencing to no avail. Comcast says my router is the culprit of my problem, but I don't know why it would all of a sudden stop working. My wireless printer still works so it detects a signal and my PC shows it's connected, but no internet access is possible.
What do I need to do? Are there any other diagnostic tools available? The Chat people won't help because I'm out-of-warranty.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless Networking with LINKSYS WRT54GS wireless router

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless printer conneted via WiFi to my LYNKSYS WRT54GS wireless router. I do not have a USB cable or ethernet cable plugged to the printer. I am able to use the 'scan to email button' and the 'scan to network folder' button on the front of the printer and I can pint from the PC to the printer with no problems.
I installed the HP printer software from the CD, choosing network/wireless connection, without having to install any USB cables from the PC to the printer in the process. many posts in the forum mention having to connect USB cables in the wireless installation process.
Can I install the software in the same fashion on the other two laptops? Or, do I need to do something differently?

The USB cable is used on those printers which do not have display or front panel wireless setup is not possible. We configure the wireless settings during install and save those settings in printer's memory by transferring through USB cable. Therefore the USB is plugged in during wireless installation temporarily. In your case I don't think plugging in USB cable is necessary as the printer is already on network and had IP address. Connect the laptops on wireless network and proceed with regular install, the printer should be detected automatically.

I installed the WRT54G Wireless router on my desktop and...

I installed the WRT54G Wireless router on my desktop and have been using the internet on that pc and my laptop (wirelessly) for a few months. Last week I uninstalled Norton Internet Security and installed ESET Smart Security. Now my desktop cannot get to the internet and the advisor says it does not detect a router. But my laptop says it's connected to my network and I am able to use the intenet on it. The router itself has all of the correct connecions and the appropiate lights are lit. Could the ESET Smart Security Software have messed up my router firmware. Please advise.

there seems to be consistant issues with Linksys routers according to all the posts ive been reading for the past month while i try to fix my on and off again internet connection. its becomming very annoying. i have asked my cable company to replace my modem, which they did and that didn't even help. last year i bought a new linksys router thinking it would solve my problem back then. it did for a while, then my lap top wouldn't connect any, so i sent it into have it checked and it came back with no problems. soooooooooo apparently, while i am connected to my neighbors open connection from his BELKIN ROUTER and even though the signal is very weak............amazingly enough!! i am still online while typing this.......funny eh?? WELL........it seems to me......that i guess i wont be buying linksys anything anymore. Especially after spending hours on the help line (INDIA) trying to reset channels and reset the router box itself. i give up.......i have 2 pieces of crap routers for sale cheap......any takers? dont waste your time

Trouble accessing the internet on a WRT54G wireless router

I’ve run into a problem setting up a wireless network at my friends’ house. The problem is accessing the internet from the wireless PC that has a WMP11 Wireless PCI Card to a WRT54G wireless router.
The wireless PC is running Windows XP and it sees and connects to the router with “excellent” signal strength but will not connect to the internet.
The router is currently set to WEP 128 bit encryption security. I’ve tried disabling the wireless security all together but when I do that the wireless PC no longer sees the router.
I have no trouble connection to the internet thru the wireless network I have set up at my house when I bring his computer there. But my router is an older Linksys 802.11b so maybe that’s why.
Anyone have any ideas what I should try other than telling him to buy a new wireless G adapter card?

If earlier your Wireless Adapter is working fine with the same network & computer .... try upgrading the drivers of the aqdapter .... from http://linksys.com/download .... uninstall the older drivers & reinstall newer drivers ....
