Wrt54gs ver 2.1 DDNS issue

I have a dyndns account. I set up the ddns service on my router. The status says 'ddns is updated successfully', but the internet IP address displayed is not the current IP address of my connection. And I can not connect to the router using my dyn alias.
Can you offer any suggestions?

WRT54G ver 2 Mac and PC issues

I have...
a WRT54G ver 2, firmware v4.21.1 (latest available for this model),
two PC desktops wired (192.168.1.101) - second desktop not used much),
a PC laptop wireless (169.254.58.14),
a Mac Desktop wireless (192.168.1.104),
and 2 Mac Laptops (169.254.75.54) (169.254.254.36).
The problem is...
When one of the wireless computers is turned on it won't connect unless the router is powered down and back on. It will be fine until one of the other wireless computers are turned on and now it doesn't connect. It is possible to get them all simultaneously connecting, but difficult. It seems to be in the timing. I still haven’t nailed it down. Frustrating...
The questions...
Did I give enough information?
Can I do what I want with this router or do I need to upgrade?
If can do, what settings?
If can't, new hardware recommendations?
Thanx

Thanks! I had already downloaded and installed the latest firmware, but it didn't really help. I set the parameters you described, and bam, all wireless devices work. I shut down and restarted each one to verify, and they can access the network!
Again, Thanks a lot!

WRT54G ver 6, serious issues

I recently bought a WRT54G, ver 6. For a while, it worked. We were happy. Now, we have a wireless connection, but are unable to load any websites.
Regularly resetting the router seems to work, for short periods of time (5-20 minutes, if that).
Our firmware is current, we've spent time on the phone with Linksys (Hi, India!), and everything seems to be correct.
All the computers have Windows XP, ISP is D&E Communications, we have cable internet. We've upgraded drivers and/or wireless cards, to no effect.
In addition, we have one laptop connected to the router via ethernet cable. That computer is unable to access webpages when the other computers are unable to access anything through the wireless network.
Any help would be great, since we're getting very close to returning the router and spending a few more hours on the phone with Linksys to get our money back - the router is less than a month old. This much difficulty is unacceptable.

Did you try going to the administration menu in the web setup page? then to diagonistics sub menu ---> then to ping button --> after which new window appears, where in you can type in any domain name like www.google.com and clcik on ping to check the connectivity. If you get the response then you have the internet connection till your router. If you are able to get response from ping then instead of providing dynamic ip to the pc's you can check with static ip. if it works then something is wrong with DHCP lease.

WRT54G Ver 6 Issues

Hi
I hope this helps people. I am extremely disappointed with Linksys support. I have talked to at least 6 support people for a least 1 hour each without a resolution to a simple problem. My problem is that I can not get onto the internet with my access points(WAP54G .ver 3.1)using WPA security with WRT54GS ver 3. I decided to do my own testing since Linksys did not. I configured my WRTGS with no security. I used my ssid, channel, broadcast ssid turned on. I configured my WAP54G exactly the same. I was able to ping the WAP54G with no problem. My next test was to test WEP security. The only changes I made were the exncryption to 128 bit with a code on both the WRT54GS and WAP54G. I was able to ping it with no problem. Since I needed more security for my house since the houses are almost right on top of each other, with many people using wireless in their homes, I changed my security to WPA Personal. I changed the code and of course saved all of the changes, like I did previously. I tried to ping the the WAP54G. I couldn't ping it to save my life. I figured that the hardware was up to date on the WRT54GS ver 3 so I purchased a new WRT54G ver 6 router thinking that this will support WPA Personal. (I already knew that WPA Personall worked on that Router with version 1.01 of the firmware.)
I noticed on the Linksys website that there was a new firmware for the router which is version 1.02. I had to update the firmware on my router since the version that was on it was 1.00.52. My firware is now 1.02. I started the same tests I performed on the WRT54GS ver 3. I turned off security on both the WAP54G & WRT54G. I tried to ping the WAP54G. I could not do it. Now I know the WAP54G worked because I proved it earlier. I reported the problem to Linksys and asked to talk to a supervisor. I never received a call back from her. This is the lousiest support I have ever expereinced. I explained to tech support that the WAP54G's are no use to me since I can't talk to them with this router using WPA security or anything else. It was extremely frustrating dealing with their technical support. This is suppose to be a simple setup that should take about 5-10 minutes. Instead it has cost me days of calling them and many hours, trying to figure why it did not work with absolutely no help from them. Does anyone have any good suggestions?
I would like to get a hold of firmware 1.01 because I know that works. Thanks
Scot

Hi,
This is an update to my first post. I was correct that ver 1.02 of the firmware for the WRT54G ver 6 of the router has some problems with it. It does not allow you to use WPA encryption. Version 1.01 of the firmware does allow you to use the WPA encryption. Hopefully Linksys will fix this problem. I will continue to use 1.01 until this is fixed.

WRT54G Ver 1.1 Firmware Upgrade

I was experiencing some connection problems that were causing me to cycle the power on my router a few times a week. I decided to upgrade the firmware to 4.21.1 hoping to resolve this issue. The firmware upgrade completed and all configuration settings were put back as I had before the upgrade.
Since the update, I cannot connect to the internet through my DSL when connecting through the router. I can connect to the internet when my computer is directly connected to the modem. I called Linksys and I was told to reset the router three times. Had no results.
Can anyone help me out with this? Or is there a place where I can download the old firmware that I originally had?
I have a WRT54G ver 1.1 and Bellsouth DSL
Thanks
(Edited post for guideline compliance. Thanks!)
Message Edited by JOHNDOE_06 on 11-20-2007 08:55 AM

--Update--
I solved the problem. The Bellsouth DSL modem is in bridge mode after it is either reset (hard button) or configured via the web utility.
WITHOUT connecting the router to the modem, configure the router to be PPPoE insted of DHCP. If the router is connected to the modem while still in DHCP mode, the modem will assume the router is a computer. This will kick the modem out of bridge mode.
So the steps to solve the problem are:
1) Disconnect ethernet between router and modem.
2) Reset modem / put in bridge mode.
3) Connect to router via web utility and configure PPPoE settings.
4) Connect router and DSL modem via ethernet cable.

Hi, i have had to replace my WRT54G ver#3, with Same mode...

hi,
i have had to replace my WRT54G ver#3, with Same model Ver#8. i set up both my desktop and laptop no problems. Got both up and running just fine. However reconnecting with my ITOUCH is another issue. No matter what i have done, including resetting router a second time did not work. I even took it to the Apple store and it connected there no problem. Anyone have any suggestions on what the settings should be. I have the print out of all my network settings available to me.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
Linda

If you are online with wireless laptop connecting to your own network ..... I don't think that it is an issue related to router .....
Check the settings in the I-Touch it self...... configure it according to the settings in the router ....
See if it shows connected ....

Hi Fadeel,
I have exactly the same problem. My previous version (v2) broke down and I received a version 7 instead.
Took me some houres to figure out that the problems I had were caused by the router itself.
Also a long chatsession with Linksys USA and phonecalls with the local helpdesk. But Linksys people are very nice and helpfull, but do not always know were they are talking about, in my humble opinion. Got the advice to upgrade the firmware (there isn't any ) while they knew what the version was.
I bought a (secondhand) version 2.2 and it is working fine now.
I expect that we will have a new firmwareversion soon, but we as customer are running a "User Acceptance Test" while we normally pay for the stuff. Not Cisco worthy!!
My version is a -EU one, yours too?
Best regards, Rob.

WRT54G ver 6 Port forwarding question

Howdy... I just purchased the WRT54G ver 6 router to replace my old wired one that was fried after losing power one night... plugged into a $60 surge protector... but I digress... I have 2 PCs plugged into this router... neither are wireless. I host a website and so I setup the router to forward port 80 to the webserver... The loading of images has become incredibly slow. Probably 3 to 4 Xs as slow as the old router... If I plug my cable modem into the pc direct it seems fine, so I dont see a bandwidth issue or upload problem... Seems to be at the router and more specific where the router is forwarding the request. Has anyone run into this? Are there settings on the router somewhere that I can tweak?

Try to lower your MTU settings.

WRT54G ver.2

A couple weeks ago very soon after a snow storm my wireless kept disconnecting after repeat re-powering. I contacted the ISP because of their long history of various issues and figured it had to do with weather and service signal. They said it was fine when they checked it over the telephone. Then they sent a technician. He said their signal and their modem were functioning good. He continued to say my Linksys router was the problem. They told me this numerous times before over the last couple of years and repeatedly it was their issue and they finally fixed it with many technician visits and discoveries. So, I was inclined to think here we go again. If I connect my computer direct to their modem I get a consistent connection to the internet, no interruptions, normal, using it now. If I connect through the Linksys WRT54G ver.2 router either wireless or to the hard wired network system the service repeatedly fails rather quickly after re-powering and the 3 green lights to the far left flash fast simultaneously. Is this diagnostic for anything? I'm know inclined to believe the issue may be the router. I am going to try the "Hard Reset" suggested to another poster. Thanks for any help. Bill Hite Jr.

Yes, you can try to reset the router and reconfigure it.
Also try to upgrade the firmware on your router.
Connect the modem to the Internet port and computer to Ethernet port on the router.
Download the latest firmware from Linksys website and save it on your computer.
Open the setup page of the router and go to Administration tab. 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.
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 try to reconfigure it.

WRT54G ver . 5 and AppleTV

I seem to be having an issue with multicast between the wired ports on a LinkSys WRT54G ver. 5 and an AppleTV which is on the wireless network. The Bonjour service, which I believe uses multicast, seems to not be able to cross the boundry from wired to wireless on the router.
For instance, I typically use an iPhone connected wirelessly to my WRT54G to control my AppleTV, also on the wireless network, but if I move the AppleTV to a wired port, the iPhone cannot see the AppleTV anymore even though both can go out to the internet via the cable modem plugged into the WRT54G.
Any ideas? I just updated to the most recent version of the firmware, 1.02.7

WRT54G v5 does not support WMM feature...I would suggest you to either go for N-Series router like WRT160N or upgrade the router with 3rd party firmware like dd-wrt.However upgrading the router with 3rd party firmware will void the warranty period of the router.

WRT54GS ver. 6 keeps dropping hardwired connection

Hello all,
I have a Windows XP desktop currently hardwired to a WRT54GS ver. 6 (with latest firmware v1.52.2) router. The modem that my router is connected to is a Motorola SBV5220 cable modem by Comcast. Listed below are my current router settings:
Firmware Version: v1.52.2, Jun. 7, 2007
Router Name: WRT54GS
Login Type: Automatic Configuration - DHCP
DHCP Server: Enable
Mode: Mixed 11/54Mbps
Channel: 11
Encryption Function: Enable
For some reason if I leave my computer on for an hour or longer, I'll notice that my connection speed will drop significantly or won't connect at all. When I check the status from the Easylink software and from Local Area Connection in Windows, the status says "connected". When I try opening a webpage, all I get are timeout errors. Also, when I hardwire directly to my modem, there are no problems. The only thing that seems to fix the problem is by power cycling my router.
I've already spoken to Linksys support about this issue 3 times to no avail. They've already sent me a replacement router which is having the same problem, so I know it's not a defective router. Having to unplug/plug the power cord from my router every time I notice the connection drops is unacceptable.
Hopefully many of you have experienced the same problem, and know of a fix. If this is the case, please take a look at the troubleshooting steps I've performed below and let me know if there's anything I could have missed.
From router setup page:
-Manually set MTU to 1464
-Enabled MAC Address cloning
-Unchecked "Block Anonymous Internet Requests"
-Tried setting wireless channel to both 1 and 11
In Windows XP:
-Tried ipconfig/release & renew
-Tried disabling/re-enabling/repairing Local Area Connection
-Went to Local Area Connection properties and confirmed that I am not using a static IP
-Went to control panel>power options>set "turn off hard disks" to "never"
-Went to device manager>network adapters>properties (for Broadcom ethernet adapter)>power management>unchecked "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"
-Confirmed that all network adapter drivers are up to date (via windows)
-Cleared all IE and Firefox cache
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Now that you've received a new router, you can rule out any router issues. I would advise that you reset it to factory defaults, including the MTU. Might as well start from a known baseline rather than have custom settings that make comparisons to other systems impossible.
Have you contacted Comcast about the modem or do you own the modem? If you're leasing it, get on their case and try a new modem. If not, pick up a new one. Try my next suggestion first, though.
Are there any other machines on your network? Are they having the same issue? If you don't have another machine, is there someone you could ask to bring their machine to you house, hook it up via cable and see what happens? It would be best if that test machine is using a similar setup - cable internet, router, Windows XP, etc.
Are you using the wireless function? Do you have any wireless clients that experience the same issue? Does your XP desktop have an active wireless card in it?
You could have a Windows config issue, but that is beyond the scope of this message. But, check one thing - in your router there should be DNS settings provided by Comcast. If you know how to get into your PCs network (TCP/IP) settings, your DNS setting should be your router's IP address. Having two sets of DNS entries can cause problems, but in my experience, that happens immediately.
Finally, make sure all your cables are in working condition. Don't make any assumptions - new ones can be damaged or incorrectly manufactured.
I'd be curious to know how you do with this. Please post anything you find out.

Step by step complete setup for WRT54G ver.6 with Laptop and XBOX 360

Hello. I am sorry to post this, I am sure it is a juevenile and redundent question...but I have tried to look for the set up cd (I can find where to download it...though I can find the firmware upgrade or whatever). My friend at work said it would do all the setup pretty much automatically for me.
I somewhat know computers, but you might go ahead and make your replies VERY lamen's terms or I might not be able to follow. Anyways, what I need, is a step by step/screen by screen directions for a secure network. I have made a partial attempt at setting it up and it technically works, but I would feel better if I did the steps a-z in order, so I know that it is done correctly. I also am not totally confident in its security as it is now. (Also, technically, I did not check the XBOX again after getting the new laptop, I am just assuming it is still working because it was before).
My problem is I can't seem to find very good directions for setting up the router...I only find partials or confusing directions.
So here are the things I am trying to connect:
Liksys WRT54G ver. 6
Gateway Laptop running Windows Vista
XBOX 360 - WIRED
(I had a PC and a laptop, but they both died at the same time and I have only been able to replace the laptop at this point...the PC will come later and not sure at this point if it will be Wired or not).
I have a cable Modem between the Router and the wall...I didn't look at that for brand/etc...but I can get it ASAP if needed.
Here are the settings that I have so far:
Changed the Router Name
Changed the SSID
Have DHCP set to 3 (XBOX, PC, Laptop)
Wireless SSID Broadcast: Disable
Username and Password changed to my own info
UPnP: Enable
I may have changed other things without knowing it. So like I said, a complete, step by step screen by screen set up would be totally appreciated. I haven't done anything in the security tab, all that is totally foreign to me, so I am just not broadcasting for now until I can get some help setting things up with you guys.
And if someone is familiar with the Laptop/XBOX 360 setup, and I need to change any of the settings on the XBOX itself, could you please include that in your directions? I know that isn't technically what THIS forum is for, but it would sure be helpful to me if you happen to know both parts anyways.
Thanks a lot (in advance)!

So all you just need to do is, secure your Wireless Network. Follow the setps bellow and change the settings on your Router.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select TKIP...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

WRT54G ver. 6 can no longer connect to the internet after reset

I reset my WRT54G ver. 6 to clear the password, and now I can no longer connect to the internet with it. I can see the router itself from my PC, but that is all. I've followed the directions here for connection problems, but I can't seem to get an IP Address for it in the Web Configuration tool. Anybody have any thoughts?

Since you reset your router, you need to reconfigure it back again. try the online utility that automates the configuration. download Easy Link Connect utility at www.linksys.com/connect then download "Netset" and follow instructions.
if not Easy Link connect didnt work then you need to do the configuration manually.
1. check physical connection modem should be connected wired to internet port of the router then PC to numbered ports of the router.
2. Brighthouse i believe is cable connection, right? try power cycle your devices (turn off modem and router then turn on modem 1st then router next). check if your online.
3. if not. check PC ip. click "start" then "run" type in "cmd" then press "OK". the command prompt should pop-up. type "ipconfig" and check IP and gateway. you should be getting an ip: 192.168.1.x and gateway: 192.168.1.1
4. access router. open IE, then type in http://192.168.1.1 on address bar.
5. you will be prompted with username and PW. "admin" is the default password. on setup, just below are subtabs. select "MAC address clone". in it, set "mac clone" to "enable" then click on "clone" then "save settings".
6. power cycle devices again. try to go online
note: if you dont have latest firmware. try updating if needed
