WRT54GS-Ver. 6 - Never shows that it has internet connection
Hi,
I have been trying to resolve a problem and I can't no matter what I do.
I have Model # WRT54GS - Ver. 6, I have had it over a year and the problem started a year ago when I bought it so my daughter could connect her computer wirelessly with mine. It was working just fine and then it started disconnecting one computer when the other was on, the two of them could never be on at the same time, anyway my daughter moved out and I put the router away not worried anymore about the problem. 5 days ago I bought a Dell Inspirion Laptop with Vista and reconnected the router to my main computer (Dell Dimension 3000 with Windows XP)
Here is the problem - I can only get connectivity to one computer at a time or neither of them will connect, when I check out the advisor it ALWAYS shows up as if there is no connction to the internet even if I can get on with one of the computers. I have a Touchstone telephony ARRIS modem with Cox Internet (always been the same) I have tried to download the updates for the router but I can never open it as it saves as a VLC media file(.bin) and if I try to "unzip" it , it says "cannot open file as archive" always.
I have reset, rebooted, un plugged all connections and I don't know what else to do. I have had about 4 diffferent encryption keys already when I have to disconnect. I have also tried removing it from my computer and re-installing .
Can any one help PLEASE
Thanks in advance.
Ok, now I think I have a bigger problem,
I did as posted from "HELM" and downloaded firmware and everything downloaded fine thanks to the instructions given, but after rebooting and unplugging, waiting 30 sec. and replugging the power, now easylink advisor tells me that it cannot find the router...I tried disconnecting the power to the modem and router as it indicates and then waitng the proper amount of time for each one and reconnecting, but to no avail.
So I diconnected the router completely and connected directly to the modem to be able to write back and ask what can I do now that the router is now longer recognized?
Should I just trash it and buy another one because there is no hope for this one.
Thanks in advance.

I'm currently connected to a Motorola sbg 941 gateway modem. The modem says that it has Internet connection but no pages will load in safari. What happens is that it will try to load for a while then safari will tell me that the server where the web page is located isn't responding. Also the Internet connection works fine on my iPhone and the other windows computers connected to the wireless. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This can be caused by a number of issues.
Was everything working and then suddenly stopped??
Or is this a new clean setup and has never worked.
Do you have a cable modem which is not a router and the TC setup in bridge? That will cause it. The TC must be in router mode, ie dhcp and nat.
Check the IP the MBP gets including dns and gateway..
Then check the ipad/iphone.. post what IP dns and gateway (router in applespeak) they get. -

Hey there our3goldens,
It sounds like you are unable to successfully boot your iPod Touch. I would recommend these steps specifically from the following article, named:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

How to stop uploading of Yosemite as it has already been done ? There is a bar in Launchpad showing that it has been stopped once. Coming back on Appstore, I cannot delete : written "pending". Sorry for eventual poor explanation as I write from France. Thank you
Thank you for your reply.
I have looked at this, however, if the line is say a dotted line, I can not edit this in the layer panel by going to the stroke style, it just comes up blank.
So how would I go about editing this dotted stroke path once it is placed in Photoshop?
For example if I wanted to change the gap between the dots? -
I am trying to upgrade two MACs to Maverick. I have been successful with My Power Mac but unable to get my Imac to load. I am running Snow Leopard on the Imac. When I go to the App Store it shows that it has been downloaded. Any ideas? Any ideas
You stated; " I have been successful with My Power Mac "
A Power Mac is incapable of being upgraded to Mavericks. It is a PPC Mac which can only run versions of OS X up to 10.5.8 and no higher. Any version of OS X higher that 10.5.8 requires an Intel processor to run.
Does the iMac meet the hardware requirements for Mavericks?

My iPad show that it has been crashing
In diagnostics and usage to show that it has been crashing, in a variety of apps and general use, uTube video, etc. My IOS info says its up to date..I see there are others with specific problems...not sure where to begin?
These "crash" reports shouldn't be taken seriously unless they are effecting your use of the iPad.

when plugged to a pc my iphone shows that it has music on it, when its not plugged to my pc my music doesn't show up. why is that?
There is a difference between your phone SOFTWARE being up to date and your phone being SYNCED. Plug it into your computer and sync it. This should put everything on your phone.

My AirPort Utility is showing that it's not connected to the internet. It has been working fine until now. I am connected and can't figure out why it's saying this. Please help!
Hello utfan5
Try resetting up the AirPort base station to see if it resolves the connectivity issue. Also make sure you are using the recommended settings to connect to the internet.

How can I use my Ipad in a hotel that only has ethernet connections? The Apple store clerk told me that travel express won't work in my hotel unless I also have a computer.
The issue with the Airport Express (or any of the Apple routers) is that you need the Airport Utility to configure it. Airport Utility works on OSX and Windows, but not on the iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch.) It will work, if you can preconfigure the Airport correctly ahead of time, but you'd be stuck if you did need to reconfigure while at the hotel.
You can use most any other router that is configured with a web page, which means you have a chance of configuring with Safari on the iPad. If you want something somewhat portable, I use a "travel router" made by D-Link. The current model is the DAP-1350. Other companies make similar travel routers, but I have no experience with the others. -
