WRT54GS won't connect my static IP computer to internet

My goal is to get completely connected to a torrent site. Their instructions were to configure a static address for my computer, forward a port and life will be good.
My current setup is my computer is wired to a WRT54GS which in turn is wired to an Actiontec GT701-WG DSL modem. There is one other computer wired to the Linksys and a third computer connected wireless.
I tried connecting my computer directly to the Actiontec and I was completely connected which increased my up load speed about 4X (20-25 kB/s to over 100) when seeding. Downside was it left the other two computers without a connection as there is only one out port on the modem.
It seems the Linksys is choaking my connection. I found some great tutorials on this site; I followed one and went in the computer and made its address static by assigning it an address outside the dynamic range used by the Linksys. The tutorial ended with SAVE and EXIT. I did and then I couldn't connect to the internet. I did the power on procedure of the modem, Linksys, and computer three times and nothing improved. I had to switch back to an automatic address for the computer in order to connect again.
Is there something I should have done to the Linksys after I made my computer static? If the computer is outside the range assigned by the router how can it see the computer?
I've been working on this for at least six hours with zero success. I would really appreciate it if someone would tell me how to get connected. Maybe there is another tutorial I could work through, just point me. Thanks.
Dirk

Well in such case the only option i can suggest is that to check the firmware on the router .... If it seems older download it from linksys website .... see if it works ...

Tablet won't connect with static LAN IP address

Today I updated my Xperia tablet (model SGP311) to Android 4.4.2 (kernel version 3.4.0-perf-g32ce454).
My tablet no longer connects to my home wi-fi network if I assign it a static LAN IP address. It connects fine if I use DHCP. But I prefer to assign my devices static IP addresses when possible.
I have tried forgetting and re-connecting to my LAN several times without success. The static IP address worked fine until today's update.
Any ideas?

You could try restoring the S/W on your iPod Touch. If that doesn't work you may need to talk to Apple about repair.

WRT54GS won't connect to internet

I've turned WEP security on and off with no success. My computer can connect to Road Runner when the cable is not going through the WRT54GS. The connection is excellent on all my devices, just no internet. I'm thinking there's one tiny setting I'm not thinking of enabling but I'm out of ideas at the moment. If you need more info from me let me know. Thanks...

any wired connection that is going to the internet?
*just a thought*

WRT54G won't connect to the Internet

I'm hooking up a new router, a WRT54G, version 6. During setup, it won't let me connect to the Internet. I get to the part where I change the admin password, and each time I try to connect, I get a message that tells me that my cable/dsl router won't connect to the internet, to unplug and try it again. I do that, but it never works.
Thanks in advance!

WRT54GS won't connect to the internet through my wired computer

So, basically, I've had this router for awhile now, it used to work just fine, and I haven't changed any settings or anything of that sort.
But suddenly it decides that it doesn't want to connect to the internet anymore. I've tried troubleshooting it like a hundred times now. I've looked at the FAQs for help but none of them seem to partain to my problem because they mostly talk about the wireless connection not working. Which I'm sure mine would if it could work on the wired connection.
There's no problems with my ISP, when I connect my computer directly to the modem my internet works fine but when I try to connect through the router it just doesnt work at all.
So, I really dont know what the problem is but could you please help me?
ALSO...the power light in the back blinks too and I've tried doing the firmware update but it didnt work..I might've had the wrong DNS Servers, but I didn't really know where to go to get that, the walkthrough didn't exactly make that clear to me.
In short, my internet wont connect when using the router. Help?

hi i have read your problem but i can be wrong... because suppose to be your system have working before. i think can exist conflicts between modem ip address and router ip address. first disconnect your modem from your router put in your internet explorer 192.168.1.1 and if your router has password live user name area in blank. and put in password area admin and push return. when appear the setup menu ( must to be in basic setup menu by default) search the text Local IP Address 192.168.1.1 and let change for 192.168.2.1 and do click in save settings button turn off your modem your router and connect everything and turn on them. check if you get access internet service.

WRT54G Won't connect please help!

I have a WRT54G router that I am trying to use to connect a computer to one of my company’s networks. I need to use a router because the computer’s IP address is on a second network to which the computer also needs to connect. Because the main network already has a gateway, I need to have the WRT54G router in router mode instead of gateway mode. However, when I attempt to set the router up, I am unable to connect to the internet, I cannot ping any other machine on the main network and I cannot access any shared folders (so the router is not making the connection). I am pretty sure I have the IP address of the router and computer set up correctly as well as any subnet masks and gateways (I have double checked this multiple times) and all of the appropriate lights on the router are lit. When plugged directly into the network via Ethernet the computer can connect without any problems, so it is definitely a problem with the router or its configuration. I have tried resetting the router and I have installed the most recent firmware update.
What could be causing my problem?
Is it even possible to route to a second network in router mode?
If not, what do you I suggest I do in order to have this machine connected to both networks?
Details:
Network one uses IP 10.1.x.x
Network two uses IP 10.3.x.x
Computer:
IP: 10.3.0.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway: 10.3.0.1
DNS Server: 10.3.0.1
Router:
Internet IP address: 10.1.7.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Gateway: 10.1.0.1
Static DNS: 10.1.0.18 (This is a server on the 10.1.x.x network)
Local IP address: 10.3.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router is set to router mode under Advanced Routing. I have tried many different IP/Subnet/Gateway combinations for the static routes under Advanced Routing and none of them have worked so far. In case I have missed the correct one, what exactly should they be based on the above information?
Simply using Gateway mode causes problems because a gateway already exists.

Try connecting in the different way use 10.1.X.X router behind the 10.3.X.X router ....connecting directly to the Modem ....

My 5th Gen iPod Nano won't connect to itunes or computer, just keeps resetting. Reinstalled itunes to no avail, other ipods connect fine...help please

I re-installed i-tunes but this didn't solve the issue. Other iPods including additional 5th generation nanos connect and sync just fine. When it's plugged into the computer, it says "Connected...Eject before disconnecting" but doesn't show in itunes or the computer, then the ipod resets and the cycle begins again. It plays music just fine. It also plays fine when directly connected by USB to a Toyota Avalon. Any suggestions on how to resolve this? Thanks!

WRT54GS won't connect (oddly enough, it gets info correctly)

Here's a strange situation: I have a three-year-old WRT54GS that was re-flashed to the latest Linksys firmware due to issues with DD-WRT; however, no clients (wired OR wireless) can connect to the Internet via this router. It gets the settings from the cable modem (Motorola SB-5120 with Comcast HSI as the provider), and the clients can connect to the router itself (and see the router) without issues; however, the router's clients have no Internet connectivity.
Have I managed to *semi-brick* the router?
There are two PCs - one wired (Vista) and one wireless (XP with SP3); both have the same issues, wired or wireless. (I've even tried swapping the wireless NIC (USB) to the Vista PC; no such luck that way. Also, connecting the XP laptop via a wired connection via the router is fruitless.)
I'll be making one last attempt to re-flash via DD-WRT before giving up as a bad bet; however, I will be following this thread, as I don't want to have to buy another router because I managed to brick this one in an odd fashion.

UPDATE: Re-flashing with DD-WRT (V.24 vice V.24SP1) fixed the problem (the router is now allowing connections via both wired and wireless); however, I have two other (unrelated) issues (both wireless):
1. There are other wireless devices/EMI devices (specifically, both a pair of 2.4 GHz coreless phones and a microwave oven) in the room where the laptop is usually used (yes; it's usually used in the kitchen!), therefore finding a solid wireless channel is a priority. Lower channels (the router is set currently to use channel 2) have less of an issue with the phones; however, router connectivity is an issue. Higher channels (11 or 12) have better router connectivity, but they tend to drop connection whenever the phone is answered (not good at all). Channel 6 is a popular channel for wireless devices in the area (therefore, it's usually one to avoid, even when all the networks are secured with WPA or better, as is mine).
2. While both wireless USB adapter and router (with DD-WRT) both support WPA2; they will not connect reliably with it (WPA, however, works fine). The wireless laptop is running XP with SP3; is there a specific patch to let XP use WPA2?

Going from wired BEFSR41to wireless WRT54G, won't connect

I am trying to install a new wireless router (WRT54G) and removing my existing wired router (BEFSR41). However, I have followed the connection instructions and it does not recognize the router (not connected).
Also, I have Vonage VOIP router (RTP300-VD) and I tried to connect the network without connecting this router.
What's the proper way of replacing this wired router to wireless?
Please advise. Thanks.

HI,
can you post a few more details , such as which is your main router that's hooked direct to the modem ? and also the IP of the VOIP router.

Time Capsule: How to connect wirelessly to my computer without internet

I want timecapsule to be set up for me to use wireless printing and hard drive use without having to broadcast an internet signal (dorm rules). How do I do it?
Thanks

Hello MBP Rocket. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I want timecapsule to be set up for me to use wireless printing and hard drive use without having to broadcast an internet signal (dorm rules). How do I do it?
I assume that you still want to have the Time Capsule (TC) provide a local wireless network, just not Internet access ... correct?
If so, just don't connect the TC's WAN port to the school's network.
