WRT54GS WIreless not connected, yet connected

My WRT54GS wireless connections wont go through, as it clearly says, Not Connected, yet my network connections will show that I am connected to the internet and indeed, I can browse the web. My biggest problem with this is that eventually (around 10 minutes or so) it will disconnect from the internet, which is a problem since i play online games. Anyone ever had this happen?

under the network connections , what all connections do you see....ensure that any other connection except for the wireless network connection is disabled..
the only medium of connection should be the wireless network connection... check this and let me know if more help need on this issue ...

WRT54G wireless router irregularly drops connection

I've had a WRT54G wireless for about 3.5 years now, with a Motorolla SB4200 cable modem connected to it to provide internet service. The router itself is connected to a desktop PC and there are two laptops that are connected to it wirelessly, one of the laptops is old and has a Linksys PCMCIA wireless card and the other laptop has wireless built in to it.
I updated to the latest firmware for the router.
For more than a year now, the wireless connection has been irregularly dropping. Sometimes it will reconnect instantly, sometimes it will take a few minutes to reconnect, sometimes it will take up to 10 minutes. More importantly, the connection drops very irregularly. Sometimes it will work for weeks flawlessly and sometimes it will constantly drop several days in a row.
Today I haven't had any problems so far, but yesterday and the day before, it was dropping a lot. What I've noticed is it mostly happens in the evening, so I'm assuming maybe there is some kind of interference.
I have been told that wireless routers do have a limited lifespan and that mine probably is just wearing out and needs to be replaced, so I picked up a new WRT54G router for $50 yesterday, however, I haven't opened it yet.
Is it likely that my router is just wearing out and needs to be replaced, or is there some kind of interference going on? I am able to pick up a number of different wireless signals from the neighbors, but they are always there. Even right now as I am connected to the network typing up this message.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for all your help wehowardjr.
I haven't actually pressed the reset button in a while, but I did unplug it for about 20 seconds then replug it just two days ago.
What is the nvram and exactly how do I clear it? I don't think I've ever doe that.
I use a laptop that has the wireless built in and I'm the one who uses the computer the most in the house, so I am the one who is noticing the connection dropping the most, so I'm not really sure if it is the problem with the laptop witht he PCMCIA card.
I'm surprised version 6 has problems. I would have assumed that it would be a great improvement over previous models, especially 1.0. I guess I should return it to the store then? Isn't there version 7 out now?

WRT54G wireless not working after upgrading to windows vista, please help

Hello everyone....
I have a few problems. I upgraded to Windows Vista and cant seem to get my wireless internet working. My router is WRT54G wireless-g broadband router. Ever since I upgraded Vista my xbox 360 will not connect.
I just bought a new wireless web camera and that does not work either because the wireless is not working.
Any suggestions on what I should do to solve this issue?
I noticed when I goto 192.168.1.1 my firmware version is Firmware Version: v3.03.9 does that have anything to do with it? Is there a more up-to-date version that will help?
Hope to hear from someone.

I have the same problem, and so does my son, he has a toshiba satellite new laptop and I have an acer new laptop, both have Vista on them, and my wife has XP and has no problem getting on teh router, but i have this problem everyday.
Eventually it will all of a sudden show up and connect and start working, then if you laeave your computer in standby movde overnight, it will still work in the morning, but if you shut down comeplety you will lose the connection for who knows how long. what is the fix Linksys?
(Edited post for guideline compliance. Thanks!)

WRT54G Wireless not working - Wired is fine

You may have seen my last post, where I asked how to set up static IPs within my little network and do a couple other things - thanks for the advice, everything seemed to work great.
BUT I'm not getting wireless to work. I don't think this is a product of my changes, as 1) I haven't been using wireless in the past and 2) I tried changing things back and trying (as a control) and still had the same problem.
Running a WRT54G router, hardwired to three computers (each which also has wireless capabilities). For freedom from wires, tried switching over to wireless. I disabled the "wired" adapters to prevent any interference, and turned on the wireless ones (linksys notebook G adapters and a G pci adapter).
I had the "wired" adapters set up for static IPs within the 10-20 range (192.168.1.10[to 20]). This worked fine. I switched my routers IP to something else, still works. Turn on MAC filtering, and added all six MAC addresses, still good. Then I tried to configure the wireless adapters for static IP like I did the "wired", and used them and got nothing. Tried pinging the router from the comps, and the comps from the router - 1005 packet loss. Went back and set up the adatpers to DHCP (which is still enabled on the router) and still not getting a connection. Tried no encryption, WEP and WPA2 PSK - not working.
My only thought is, I detect like literally 20-25 networks in my area (I live in NYC in a apartment). I can detect my network's SSID, and signal strength is perfect (it should be, all comptuers are within 30 feet of each other ) but when I try to connect, I get the waiting/status bar for like five minutes and then nothing. Are there settings I can use to help optimize my network to deal with all the interference? Are there other troubleshooting things I should try? My last trip here for advice turned out really well - appreciate your help.

hi , You can try a few things here...specially since you have so many wireless networks around you.
bring up network connections, right click on the wireless network connecting and bring up properties...select the wireless networks tab and remove all networks from under "preferred networks".....once done , add your network.You can specify the encryption keys under the association/authentication tab. One more thing,under the preferred networks , you have an advanced button....hit that and select the 2nd option...
on the router you can try and change the beacon to 50 and reduce the RTS and fragmentation threshold by 40 each...these are found under the advanced wireless settings.

WRT54GS wireless router can't connect to internet

I'm now using an WRT160N wireless router, everything is ok, nothing happens
i have an WRT54GS (ver 6) wireless router that i have not used for 2 years.
yesterday i took the WRT54GS out of the junk box, and replaced the WRT160N by the WRT54GS
i have a desktop that is wired & a wireless lap top. my desktop does recognise the local network and my laptop does receive the signal but the my router can't connect to the internet.
i did try everything:
reset
upgrade firmware
but nothing worked
can someone help. my ISP is comcast and this is my modem http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/US-EN/Consumer-Product-and-Services/Cable-Modems-and-Gateways/SURF...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Bypass the router and connect the main computer directly to the modem.
Make sure that you can access the Internet on your main computer directly through the modem.
Connect the modem to the Internet port and main computer to the Ethernet port on 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 reconfigure it manually.
Follow this link to configure the router with CABLE Internet service.

WRT54GS - wireless not working

I am using a wrt54gs and the wired connection works fine. The wireless however, will not connect. It has been working fine for over a year. I recently had to move some things around and unplugged my router and cable modem. Since then I can not connect wirelessly. Out of about 100 tries it has connected twice. I have upgraded the firmware, reset the modem and router, changed mtu to 1300 tried channels 1,6, and 11 and several other suggestions found on the site but nothing works. Note: It has at times connected and issued an invalid ip address and can not connect to the internet

Change the SSID to some unique name...Under the Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 50,Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...Under the Security tab,Uncheck "Block Anonymous Internet Requests" and click on Save Settings...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...Make sure that you are typing the correct security key...If you are using WEP then,use Key1 as the Network key.

WRT54G Wireless not cooperating with Wireless Zero Configuration

Hello! I'm wondering if anyone can help me spot out the problems that I have here: For a while this hasn't been too much of an issue, but whenever I try to view the list of Wireless Networks it gives the "Windows cannot configure this wireless connection. If you have enabled another program to manage this wireless connection, use that software." I have gone into the registries to find WZC has been on, and I unchecked/checked the option again to make sure it wasn't a source of the problem. Yet whenever I open the "Wireless Network Connection Status" window I am only given 2 tab options. The General tab, and the Support tab. The third tab is missing, the one that would allow me to check the option of letting Windows configure my wireless settings but I cannot seem to be able to bring that tab back no matter what. Any help at all is greatly appreciated, please and thank you!

This laptop is Windows XP and can connect to the router, the other laptop with Windows Vista can connect to it also.
Edit: Ah before the laptop with Windows Vista wasn't able to connect to the router, after a firmware upgrade it could connect to it just fine but the laptop with XP's problem still existed.

WRT54G does not allow wireless connections

I installed a WRT54G V8 for my neighbor. After much pain and fights with the wizards I got it to where it works with wired computers. I set up the wireless and named it, selected security, recorded the Key, even had the wizard record the computer setup program on a USB drive.
The two wireless computers I have tried can both see the network but clicking connect does not get me the enter key window. Actually nothing happens after showing connecting for about a minute. I tried the setup program and it said it could not set up the computer. I tried setting up the parameters manually and then connecting nothing happens.
But the routers DHCP table shows the names of the two wireless computers as being connected.
Some time when I try to connect (with manual entered data) the network page will show "Not Connected" over the top of the network name. But the button at the bottom of the page has switched from "Connect" to "Disconnect" and the machine is in the DHCP table.
Any suggestions?

I am using XP SP2 on both of the wireless computers and I am using the default windows client. In the wireless networks tab is where we tried setting up the network manually. Are you saying that with a WRT54G I can have only one wireless network installed on the machines?
I will try it on one of the machines this afternoon when I go over to try again to get it to work.
Why is this so hard!??!
Hi greyhair ,
Ridcully did provide some good information.
The wireless network tab .
for that ,
strt>control panel>network connections or (network and internet connections) icon> network connections
Right click on the wireless network connection listed
go to properties ,
here you will find three tabs - general >wireless networks>advanced
you need to click on Wireless network
and remove preffered networks from the network list (even yours )!
and click ok !
and again , right click on wireless network connection > go to View aivialable wireless networks ....try connecting to your network by first clicking (highlighting)
on the network name , and then click connect.
any problem , feel free to ask here.

Connected, yet not connected?

ISP: Windstream
Router: Linksys WRT54G2
Laptop: HP Pavilion (Vista SP1)
I have a fiberoptic connection. So no modem, the desktop is hard-wired to the Linksys router. The desktop connects fine, I have no trouble there; the laptop was the same way, until yesterday, it just went dead on me. It says successful connection, yet I am not able to browse the internet.
I was on the phone with HP, Windstream & even Linksys and I did everything they asked. The cause might be something simple, but so far it seems too complicated to figure out, let alone fix.
A list of things I have already attempted:
*I have disabled IPv6, only IPv4 is enabled.
*I reset the router multiple times
*I also tried to change the ip to 10.10.10.1 in the Linksys Setup
*I tried did the DhcpConnBcastFlag fix

LELA Not Detecting an Internet Connection, yet is connected?

I use a WRT54GS wireless router, and recently it's been going slow. I went to go restart the router as we had to so many times before, and realized that the internet was not connected(or at least, that's what it said). So I figured, oh, that's why it's not working! After going through the restart process 3 times, I still couldn't connect. I looked down at my taskbar and it said that I had an internet connection. So I clicked on Internet Explorer and to my surprise I was indeed connected to the internet.
So now, I sit here typing this, on the computer which is supposed to have no internet, and cannot send an internet connection to any of my other wireless devices because LELA says I have none. I've tried reseting the modem and all that, but to no avail. Any help as to why this is?

Thank you very much jscell and Dr. Clap
No, because that is a conceptual rather than a realconcept<
I tend to disagree somewhat � it is a conceptual as
well as a very real concept. I am using this concept
and it works(still in the trial phase though). The
only problem is the pop-up Windows dialog box.Yes but you computer doesn't connect to the "internet". It connects to another computer. That is all it can do because that is how IP works (tunneled or not.)
>
If you want to monitor traffic via java then youwould have to use JNI.<
Thanks for this. I�ll have a look at this. A piece of
code to get me started on this would be appreciated.I am not sure it exists. But if you want you can look at http://netresearch.ics.uci.edu/kfujii/jpcap/doc/index.html
>
And you should be able to configure it so that itdoesn't ask you, but just automatically makes the
connection. How?<
Yes Dr. Clap, you may be right. I was hoping there was
somehow a way out without fiddling around with the
property settings. I am sure there is, but not in java. So doing it in java would require JNI (and a lot of digging to figure out how to do it using the windows C API.)

WRT54GS-Wireless devices either won't connect or disconnect when a game is launched

My old router went out last night, and I had a wrt54gs that was given to me a while back, so I hooked it up, but I am having some issues with it.
For a while it would say that it had no internet access, when it was connected. Then I couldn't get my wireless devices to connect (xbox, and cell phone) All I had done was change the name and the encryption to WEP.
I was able to get them online when I switched to WPA2 for a while. Then I decided to play a game (Tried Diablo 3 and Path of Exile) Every time I loaded up the game, the devices would get kicked off. WHen I disconnected from the game, they would reconnect to the network. Until 1 time they didn't. Now my Xbox wont connect at all, and my phone keeps saying the network is not in range, when placed a foot from the router. I've tried disabling UPnP, but that doesn't do anything. I've turned MAC filtering, on and off. I've powercycled, and just get no good results.
I'm not sure if this is just a bad router, or whats, going on. (FYI my old router was a 10 yr old D-link that I never had problems with)

Connecting two WRT54G wireless routers - how to configure

Hi All,
I have two WRT54G wireless routers. One is currently providing wireless access for several users at a local law firm. I need to connect a second wireless router for a user who works for another company in the same office. The second wireless router is basically going to be used for Internet access. The Office Manager at the law office does not want the user from the other company using their wireless router directly, BUT they will allow me to hook up the second wireless router for Internet access. I realize this doesn't really make sense in terms of security, but this is the scenario I must abide to. So I am wondering how to configure the second router. I am thinking that I connect a CAT5 from one port on the first router to the Internet port on the second router. I am also guessing that I need to assign the the second router a static IP with a different subnet such as 192.168.2.1. I am not sure if the first router still has the default 192.168.1.1. If the first router does use 192.168.1.1 would I need to change the IP on the second one to one on another subnet? Thanks.

You will need a setup like this:
Modem --- new WRT54G ---- existing WRT54G
192.168.2.1 192.168.1.1 ( "Local IP address" )
Modem connects to Internet port of new WRT54G.
LAN port of new WRT54G connects to Internet port on existing WRT54G.
SSID: different on each router (do not use "linksys" )
SSID broadcast: enabled on both routers
encryption: recommend WPA2, or at least WPA (can be same or different on the two routers).
passwords: different on each router.
channel: try to stay at least 5 channels apart. Usually channel 1, 6, and 11 work best, but any two different channels can be used.
Any "port forwarding" used by existing WRT54G must also be done on new WRT54G.
Both routers need a real login password (not "admin" )
New WRT54G will need "Intenet connection type" set to whatever is currently on existing WRT54G. Internet connection type for existing WRT54G will need to be set to DHCP.

Dial up connection sharing via WRT54G wireless router

Can someone help me out? Here's my issue
I have an XP based desktop computer that connects to the internet via a dial up 56K modem. I would like to share the connection with my new XP vista laptop using the wireless adapter on the laptop. I have a Linsys WRT54G wireless router. The desktop pc with the connection I want to share is connected to the router via ehternet cable. How do I go about configuring the laptop wireless & the router to allow for this. I assigned a static ip 192.168.1.253 to my desktop from the router (192.168.1.100). When I enable ICS it changes the ethernet to 192.168.0.1.

Your connection download speed should be about the same 8-9Mbits, whether you are wired directly to your modem, or wired through your router .
You said you reset the router to factory defaults and that it was working better. Did the download connection speed through the router go to 8-9Mbits/sec ? If it is still 5-6 Mbits, then this suggests that something in your modem-router system is not setup quite right. If you still have this slow speed problem, then please post the following info:
1) Your ISP (internet service provider)
2) Your modem model number and version.
3) Open your router's setup pages, and go to the Setup tab. List all your settings in the "Basic Setup - Internet Setup" section.
4) List the operating system (Windows XP, Win 98SE, etc.) on the wired computer that you are using for the test.
After you list this info, hopefully someone in this community will be able to guide you to optimizing your settings, given your ISP and equipment.

Not able to connect my Iphone to my WRT54GS router with security enabled

As the subject line states, I'm not able to connect my Iphone to my WRT54GS router when the security is enabled. When ever I attempt to connect to my network with my phone it always tells me the password is incorrect. I have double checked the password in the easylink advisor and it matches up. I have also tried both WPA and WEP with the same result, I know that the wireless is working on the router as I turned the security off and was able to connect to it. I updated the firmware this evening also with no changes. If anyone could help me with this issue it would be much appreciated.

First of all, in the router, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also, in the router, set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your iPhone find and lock on to your router's signal.
To connect using WEP, enter WEP "key 1" (found in the router) into the iPhone, not the WEP password or passphrase.
To connect using WPA, make sure that there is not an encryption nomenclature problem. For example, WPA is not the same as WPA with AES. Please note the following:
WPA = PSK = WPA with TKIP = WPA personal
WPA2 = PSK2 = WPA with AES = WPA2 personal
I am not certain, but your iPhone probably does just ordinary WPA (not WPA with AES). Assuming that this is correct, then the router should be set to:
"WPA personal" with "TKIP"
Also, in the iPhone, be sure to delete the entry for your unsecured connection to your router, before you try to input info regarding the secured connection to the router.
Hope this helps.

Not able to connect on my secured wireless network

I am having WRT54G2 router and i configure my router for my home. I configured it as secured network. I have a laptop (IBM Thinkpad R52). But i am not able to connect my home wireless secured network. When i try to connect any other unsecured (open to all) network from my laptop it allows me. For any secured network it says Acquiring Network address. What should I do?

What encryption are you using?
What operating system are you using?
For WEP, you must enter WEP "key 1" (found in the router) into your computer, not the WEP password or passphrase.
For WPA or WPA2, you must enter the key (sometimes called password or passphrase) into your computer.
Note that WPA2 (= WPA with AES) requires that you upgrade Windows XP to SP3. If you have not done this yet, do this now. Note that Windows Vista already works with WPA2.
If you still have trouble connecting, in the computer, temporarily disable your software firewall, including Windows Firewall, and see if that helps.
If you still have trouble, download and install the latest driver for the wireless adapter in your computer.
