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 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!

  • IMacs won't connect to the internet through a Double Router Network.

    Hey guys,
    I have 4 computers in the house, 1 is an XP system, 2 are iMacs running latest version of Leopard, the last is my Macbook Pro running latest Snow Leopard. The reason for the two router solution is as follows: The connection where the modem and router were previously was unable to broadcast a signal to the other side of the house (concrete). So I placed a wired router on the end where the modem is, and through cat cables placed in the walls, placed a wireless router on the other side of the house.
    I have already set up the wireless router to become a wireless access point by turning the operating mode to router instead of gateway, and changed the internal ip to 192.168.2.x. All in all my macbook connects to the internet just fine through the router now turned access point and picks up the IP of 192.168.1.x (from the wired router directly connected to the modem), but the iMacs are picking up 192.168.2.x ips which have no connection to the internet.
    I have tried to renew the DHCP lease (which should pull the 192.168.1.x since the wireless router has DHCP turned off) but it still wants to connect to 192.168.2.x. Any ideas or solutions to fix this?

  • My PC won't connect to the internet through the Time Capsule

    I hope someone can help. I have a 4th Gen, 2TB Time Capsule with the following connected via WiFi: MacBook Pro, iPad, iPod, (2) iPhone 5, Apple TV, Playstation 3, HP all-in-one PC, and a printer.
    Up until a couple days ago all of them worked perfectly. I'm not sure what happened (I didn't adjust any settings) but suddenly ALL non-Apple products will connect to the Time Capsule but won't access the internet. It is very frustrating and I can't find anything that has helped yet. They will work proper if I connect using an ethernet cable but not via WiFi like they used to.
    I have unplugged and replugged the modem and Time Capsule, done a full system restore on my PC, gone through the settings on my Time Capsule (not sure what I'm looking for).
    Hope someone has heard of this and can give me some advice. Thank You.

    Did you happen to upgrade to 7.6.3 on the TC?
    That would be pretty funny if the new firmware causes all non-apple wireless products to drop out.
    I think we could get a very big fight going over such a thing.
    Although I don't know the reason.. apart from that dreadful firmware.
    Apple names are a problem.. why it should hit now after working fine I am not sure.
    But you need to do a full factory reset to the TC.
    Then give it all SMB compatible names.. (ie comply with windows networking).
    That means short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
    That will include TC network name, wireless names (different name for 5ghz) and hard disk share name.
    You should use WPA2 Personal security. With a pure alphanumeric passkey of 10-20 characters.
    Use fixed wireless (radio in Apple Speak) channels. For 2.4ghz there are only 3 non-overlapping. 11, 6, 1 and test them in that order. 5ghz doesn't usually matter so much but test down low.. say channel 40 and up high 157.. or ones near that in your country.
    Tell me if you still have issues..
    And go back to 7.6.1 firmware. Hold down the option key and select previous firmware if you are on 7.6.3

    Hi, my ipod (2nd gen) won't connect to the internet via Safari or through apps but my email does work.  Any ideas without needing to reset the ipod?

    - Have you tried when connected to other networks?  Maybe the router is blocking the ports used by Safari and the other apps.
    - What kind of network are you using? a personel or bussines?

  • Powerbook won't connect to the internet via Ethernet?

    Hi
    Just recently, my 1.5 GHz powerbook won't connect to the internet with an ethernet cable. It connects fine at home when it's connecting through the airport, but then I try to use it with the ethernet cable it tells me that "Ehternet may not be able to connect because it has a self assigned IP address" But I didn't assign it an address, OS X configured it. Thanks in advance for any help.

    And your settings in:
    System Preferences/Network/Show: built-in Ethernet/
    (Tab): TCP/IP; configure IPv4 is set to "DHCP"?

  • Just switched from Qwest DSL to CableOne cable internet and now my mac won't connect to the internet.

    I've spent 2 hours on the phone with CableOne and they can't figure our why my MacPro isn't connecting to the internet through their Arris modem. I can connect to my network and see all my computers... so the ethernet port is working but the internet won't connect. I've tried Safari and Firefox browsers. My PC connects using the same ethernet cord with no problems. I've also tried connecting the computer directly to the modem with no results. And the ethernet port says it's connected and gives me an ip address. I'm out of ideas at this point. Any suggestions?

  • How on earth could I be connecting to the Internet through my airport express when it is not connected to anything?

    I'm not entirely displeased with the situation but I cannot see how I could be connecting to the Internet through my airport express when the Airport is not connected to anything.
    Weird huh?
    I have a separate non- Airport wireless network connected to the Internet.  I had previously set-up the Airport to link with this network but disconnected it (by resetting it) as music streaming was unlistenable due to frequent drop out.  I now just have the Airport Express as a standalone wireless network only connecting to the stereo to stream music from devices.
    My devices are only connected to the Airport network with cellular data off. Yet I can still connect to the Internet AND listen to streaming music (without drop-out no less).
    I don't want to fix it but I would like to know how the frag it could happen so i don't screw it up accidentally.

    I would say you still have something of the previous setup.
    To be sure you don't mess up, save the configuration.. go to the top menu area of the airport utility and export configuration.. which will land on your computer.
    Now you can recover at anytime to the current setup.
    How it works.. that is magical ..
    Open the airport utility.. edit.. and take a screenshot and post it of the following pages..
    Internet wireless network
    THen we can tell you how it is working.

  • My MacBook Pro won't connect to the Internet, but my phone and PC will.

    My MacBook Pro won't connect to the Internet. My iPhone has no problem doing so, and neither does my PC. I think it's something to do with my DNS, but I'm not sure. My network connections say that both my Ethernet or FireWire are failed. What's wrong with my MacBook? Is there a simple way to fix this?

  • MacBook Pro won't connect to the internet after standby

    Hallo all,
    I have the following strange problem with my macbook pro:
    - after going in stand by and returning in operating mode the mac won't connect to the internet, I have to follow the procedure in order to retry to connect but It does'not work. Go in network preferences, try to change the DNS, use and not use DHCP and so on but nothing change.
    - Mac is working in ethernet, I can see other macs and pcs
    - When I change the network to connect, same problem even if I turn off the mac.
    I have the same problem with Iphone !!!!
    I have linksys router and modem but I think that the reason could be a setting in mac.
    Anyone can help me???

    I tried re-installing Mountain Lion 10.8.3 but it didn´t help.
    Assuming your can access email ok ?
    First, install the OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo)
    Then restart your Mac. That will reinstall any missing system files.
    Then try Safari.

  • My MacBook pro will not connect to the Internet through wifi yet all other devices do

    My MacBook pro will not connect to the Internet through wifi. I have several other wifi enabled devices and they are all connected to the Internet just fine... What could/would cause this?

    Disable your AirPort and enable in a second. Or check, maybe you need to type in correct digits in; Settings/Network/Advanced/Configure...

  • My iPod Touch 2nd generation won't connect to the Internet

    After restoring my iPod Touch 2nd gen to factory settings because that's what iTunes advised me to do after doing the iTunes update a week ago, my iPod won't connect to the internet anymore. I was able to connect to our wifi but it won't go to any website, to iTunes, etc. I'm 100% sure the problem isn't our wifi because I'm using it right now with my laptop so it's not the wireless problem. Before restoring my iPod to factory settings iti has always worked and I never had a problem connecting it. I tried restoring it again but it still didn't work. I already also reset our router but still no luck. I wish someone could help me asap!! Thank you.

    - reset:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
