WRT54GS ver. 6 -- Opening Ports

I've been having trouble opening certain ports for a game, and I am having a lot of trouble doing it correctly, can anyone help me out? I have a WRT54GS ver. 6
I need to open :
TCP ports: 80, 6667, 28910, 29900, 29920
UDP ports: 4321, 27900

Are you already on the router user-interface? Or do you need assistance in getting into the router interface?

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 7)-port forwarding problems (eMule)

Hi I want to use the eMule file sharing program and the problem is I cannot forward any ports (this problem already occured at other programs too) ... Im sure Ive typed in the correct port ranges, and used the correct IP-adress... I tried to use static IP adress, furthermore ive disabled the "Block Anonymous Internet Requests " option, without any success... I cannot find any firmware updates for this version either... pls help

Please open the router configuration interface at http://192.168.1.1/ (or whichever address you use to configure the forwardings). Click on Status on post the full status of your connection.
Also post the exact settings which you use for the port forwardings.
On the computer to which you forward and which is running the emule server, open a command prompt window, enter "ipconfig /all" and "netstat -aon". Post the full output of those two commands as well.
For few more things to check see this Checklist.

Hi,
You can try to forward those ports. Under Applications & Games->Port Range Forward. Give the port numbers and your device ip address.

How to forward/open ports for WRT54G?

Hi. I recently bought a WRT54G because my old router was destroyed by lightening and thunder. I have managed to set it up, and got the interent itself to work with static IP adress (192.168.1.101 for my PC).
However, even though I have tried to forward/open ports for applications like uTorrent and DC++ as well as Limewire, I have no luck. When I test if the ports are indeed opened, I get the result that they are not. Here are how my port forward setting looks like for utorrent. The port in the settings image is of course the same as in uTorrent.

I can't seem to open any ports, even though I have followed tutorials like the ones at portforward.com. I have the latest firmware for my router, as I flashed it when I got it. Help .

Yes, I did .
Anyways, look what I found in the uTorrent FAQ:
1.7 Special note for users with Linksys WRT54G/GL/GS routers, there are severe problems with them when running any P2P application
To fix it, they say one has to flash with a unofficial firmware, but I will rather get the money back and buy another router tomorrow. Thanks for the help anyways .

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

Okay…connect DSL modem to the internet port of router >> pc, reset the router about 15 seconds and power cycle the n/w by unplugging power cable of modem and router, power up the modem first and then router, open I.E on the computer and in the address bar type 192.168.1.1 it would ask for username and password, put “admin” as password without any username, click on the status tab check what Internet IP address are you getting, if you are getting 192.168.1.x, go to setup tab again and change LAN IP to 10.10.10.1 and save the settings and power cycle the n/w…check whether it works or not…

WRT54G ver.6 Admin page not available

Hi, Two days ago I saw on linksys website new firmware and decided to upgrade.I guess the installation went wrong, and my router WRT54G ver.6 ended up faulty. The problem is that I cannot access the router's Admin page (http://192.168.1.1), the browser gives me message "connection interrupted - The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading." The power light on the router when it starts is steady, no blinking. I can ping the router and as far as I can see it's fully functional in its default mode. I can access internet via cable and wifi. The ssid is Linksys.
I tried all kinds of hard reset, I guess evertything I could find on your forum.
Is there hope for my router or is it "Bricked"?
Thanks for your Help
S...

Hard reset your router -
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
Also make sure that your computer is set to 'Obtain IP Address Automatically' , disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer before trying to access the setup page...
If it does not work try connecting a different computer/laptop to the router's ethernet port and see if you can open the setup page...

WRT54G ver. 6 Resetting Router

Hello,
I accidentally unplugged my WRT54G ver 6. router and now all ports and internet port are lit up and the power port is flashing. I have the instructions how to reset and reconfigure the settings of my router to work with my cable modem. The problem is that I cannot reset my router. I pressed the reset button in the back for 30 seconds, and then unplugged the power cord. All ports remain lit up and the power port still flashes...
I have tried this multiple times and have exhausted all different possibilities (connecting router to computer, modem etc...) but nothing helps. I even tried to press reset, and while holding it down unplug the power and then replug it, but it didn't work either..
What should I do?
Thank you for your replies.
JL

Yea, you can fix it from a hard wired computer, if it's ok and (assuming you do have one) just open a windows explorer page and type into the address bar: http://192.168.1.1 and hit enter. If you have not changed the user name and password, the default user name is: “admin.” and the password is: "password" (without the quotes) You do need to change these immediately if not already done! Then you can repair and or update the firmware.
Did you also try to reboot the modem? Sometimes all that's neeeded is to unplug both modem and router and wait a couple min. Then replug modem first, then router to get them both communicating with one another.. Good luck, but none of this is that difficult if you follow instructions well, also an abundance of help just from goolgling your problem.

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.

Installed a new WRT54GS ver 7 router

I replaced my BEFW11S4 router with a WRT54GS ver 7 router recently. I use two VPN's for work, one to my employer's network and one to a customer's network. Since installing the new router, I can access the customer's network without a problem but I get a "Port not connected" error when attempting to connect to my employer's network. Any suggestions?

When you open the VPN software or connection client, it usually gives you the brand of the VPN. Like Nortel Contivity Software, etc.

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...

Open port 5000 through 5005

Hello Rogue Amoeba support tells me, in order to get the Airfoil Speakers software to function, I must open port 5000 through 5005 on my router (WRT54G). I have scoured the .pdf manual, perused the web support site as well as the present forums. Mostly, I don’t know what much of this stuff means so I may have inadvertently passed up what I need to know. Mainly, I don’t want to screw up the router function as it is working just dandy. For all I know, ports 5000 through 5005 are already open. If anyone can give me some guidance in plain English, I would certainly appreciate it. Thanks.

Log in to the router set-up page. To do this, open up a web browser ( Internet Explorer , Firefox etc) and type on the address bar your default gateway (if left alone, it is usually 192.168.1.1). Just leave it's username blank, password as a default is admin.
Go to the Applications and Gaming tab then go to the Port Triggering subtab. Start port is 5000 and end is 5005 for both Triggered and Forwarded range.

Open Port 80, 16384-16482, and 5060-5061

How do I open ports 80, 16384-16482, and 5060-5061 and forward them to more than one IP address and still keep my network secure?
I have2 VOIP phones that I would like to get working. I can get the one working by using Port Forwarding and forwarding all these ports to its private ip address. However I believe I need to duplicate this for my second VOIP phone but you can't have the same port forwarded to different ip addresses under Port Forwarding.
I have a WRT54GS.
Thank you,
Brandon

For your 2nd VOIP phone i think you can Do is Port Triggering or you can use DMZ for your 2nd VOIP as your VOIP phone will have a Static IP.
