WRT54GX4 - Difficulties Accessing the Router's Web-Based Setup Page

WRT54GX4 - Difficulties Accessing the Router's Web-Based Setup Page.
I have tried everything posted to the forums and the Knowledge Base for several weeks now with no luck.  I can power push router and gain access to router's web-base interface but only for a few minutes than it quits loading part way through and or does not load at all.  If I turn off the wireless side I can access the router at will with no problems. My warranty is almost over. I am at my wits end. I would like to get it replaced under warranty if I can. (^8

Thank you for your recommendations peanuts. (^8
I bought the router back in December 10, 2006. 
I updated the firmware to v1.00.20 back in June 2007. After I did a successful firmware upgrade I reset the router to factory default settings and then reconfigured it. It has worked Ok till a couple of months ago.
I have read everything I can find here on the support forum and in the Knowledge Base several times.
I have tried changing all the different settings to the different recommendations posted here and in Knowledge Base with no success. Each time I would do a long reset back to factory defaults, let it soak for a few hours and then make one change at a time and let it soak.
I have been monitoring 6 other wireless AP(s) around me (none mine) for a couple of months too. None of them are strong enough to connect to. My SSID is different from them. I have tried all the channels. My router is passworded and MAC'd.
It is looking like it is time to call support and try to get a replacement under warranty while it is still in affect.

  • Unable to access the Router's Web-Based Setup Page

    Hey, I found a little problem when I tried to change the configurartions to my Linksys WRT54GS ver- 6.0 router. Problem is that I can not acces to setup, nor can I connect to Internet trough wire. Can somebody help me with my problem?

    To view the router's web pages:
    You do not need an Internet connection. The router's "web pages" are built into the router.
    Use Internet Explorer, it usually works.
    JavaScript must be enabled.
    Use a computer that is wired to the router.
    In the non-working computer, temporarily turn off your software firewall.
    Point your browser to 192.168.1.1 , then login to your router. Your user name should be left blank. Your password is "admin" (with no quotes), unless you changed it.
    If you are using Zone Alarm, right click on the ZA icon in the system tray (lower right corner of screen) and then click "Shutdown ZoneAlarm", and see if this fixes your problem. If this does not work, try the following with Zone Alarm: Open the ZAISS control center, go to Privacy, then temporarily turn off Ad Blocking and Cookie Control, and see if that fixes your problem.
    If you are using Noton Internet Security with the Add-on Pack, be sure to turn off the Pop-up Blocker, and the Ad blocker. Some users have reported that they needed to uninstall the entire Norton Add-on Pack.
    If you cannot get anything at 192.168.1.1 then perhaps this is not your router's address. Go to "Start" > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
    A black DOS box will appear. Type in "ipconfig" (with no quotes), then hit the Enter key. Look at the "Default Gateway". Is it 192.168.1.1 ? Point your browser to the "Default Gateway", then login to your router.
    If the above fails, disconnect your modem from the router, and try again. If this corrects your problem, then most likely you have a "modem-router" rather than an ordinary modem. Report back with this problem, and also state the make and exact model number of your modem (not the router).
    If all of the above fails, power down your entire system, unplug it from the wall, wait one minute, then power up and try again.
    If all of the above tips fail, then reset the router to factory defaults: Power down the router and disconnect all wires from it. Wait one minute. Power up the router, allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes), then press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release the button and allow the router to reset and reboot ( 2-3 minutes). Power down router. Wait one minute. Connect one computer, by wire, to a LAN port on the router. Boot up system. It should work.
    If the reset does not fix your system, then you need to download and install (or re-install) the latest firmware for your router. After the firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.

  • Need access the E1000's web-based setup page.

    I have a Linksys E1000 wireless router, and I seem to have either written down the password incorrectly or am using the wrong one. Regardless, I can not access the web-based setup for the router. Is there anyway to reset the username and password for it?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Yes, there is.  You'll have to reset the router back to defaults, which will reset the password back to the default password for your router.  Unfortunately , you'll also have to reconfigure the settings, since all settings go back to factory default.  Just hold press the recessed "reset" button for your router for about 30 seconds, then release it.  After the router has re-initialized itself, you'll be able to log in to the web GUI again with the default password.

  • Error in router's web-based setup page (WRT54G V5)

    Hi,
    My router’s web-based setup page is unable to load fully.
    There seems to be an error with some document.setup.save file.
    I have tried to reset my router but the router’s web-based setup page is still unable to load fully.
    Please help.
    Thanks.

    Try Internet Explorer, it usually works.

    Temporarily turn off your computer's software firewall, and see if that corrects your problem.
    Hope this helps.

  • Cannot connect using Accessing the Router's Web-Based

    I'm trying to update firmware, I have done all the step to access the router's web-based.. I connected DSL to the Ethernet port on the router, from the router I used another Ethernet cable to connect the router to my laptop.. I can't get an internet connection.  The reason why I'm doing the update I have been using WRT54G2 V1 with no problems, all at once I can't connect to the internet using the router.  I was told that I need to perform a firmware update.
    Thank you for the help

    What' s the ip address and the default gateway are you getting on the computer ?
    Connect the DSL modem to the Internet port of the router then use port number one on the router to connect the computer.
    Click on Start > Run > type CMD hit Enter command promt window will appear on the screen.
    In the command promt window tupe "ipconfig" hit Enter. Now you will see the ip address and the default gateway on the screen. Use the default gateway to open the setup page of the router.

  • Can not login to my EA4500 router's web based setup page

    Hello All-I have a EA4500 router. I attempted to login to my router' web based  setup page late last year using my IE11 browser.I received an error message stating that I cannot login with that browser. I need an updated   IE,Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox to be able to  visit that site. I attempted about 3 more times and received the same error message. I switched to Google Chrome that worked very well up to tonight(3/31/2004). Cisco web page is preventing me from opening my setup page. I believe I should be contacting Customer Support about this problem but none of their support options cover this problem. Thanks in advance.

    IE 11 isn't compatible.  Use Google Chrome if you don't want to uninstall IE 11 and go back to IE 10.
    You can force the local login by disconnecting the cable from the router's internet port and then logging in.
    If the Smart Wifi is giving you trouble and you don't mind reconfiguring your router. Then you could disable Smart Wifi services.
    To disable Smart Wifi Services:
    Reset the router to factory defaults (recessed button for 30 seconds or through the router UI)
    For setup choose "I want to skip Setup and configure my router manually"

  • Can't Access Router's Web-Based Setup Page

    I have tried this: http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=3676
    Entering in the default IP and my actual IP address does not work,  I'm trying to find out what my security key is.

    Go to Solution.

    When you Hardwired your computer to the Router, on your computer click on Start - Run - CMD and click ok, now in the Command Prompt window type "ipconfig" and hit enter.. Note down the Default Gateway IP address.
    Open IE on your Computer and in the address bar type http://default gateway ip and hit enter,when prompted for the Username and Password, Leave the Username blank and type "admin" as a password and click Ok. (If you have changed the Router password, then you need to use that password to login to the Setup page of your Router). 
    Once you login to the Router setup page, click on the Wireless tab and then click on the sub tab "Wireless  Security" and in the window you will find out your security key.

  • WPA Security, Crashing OS, Locked out of Web-Based Setup Page. AAAaaarrrrrrgggg!

    I tried several times to enable WPA security on my WMP54GS router by using the "Secure Easy Setup" button in the Wireless Network Monitor Panel. I pressed the lighted Cisco logo on the router as directed, I clicked on the "next" button on screen, and Windows crashed. (That is, my system rebooted and Windows reported that it had recovered from a serious error.)  I am running XP. I also tried to enable security using the router’s web-based setup page.  I followed the instructions, and a new web screen appeared stating "error on page."  I tried again to enable security using the web-based setup page, but now it won't let me in using the default password (admin).  I tried resetting the router by pressing the reset button for 30 seconds, but I still cannot access the web-based setup page. Sooooooo, I'm out of ideas.  Can anyone help?
    Thanks.

    Hi
    When configuring your wireless settings, use a wired computer and not a wireless computer. Because it will not be able to apply the new settings. Its like trying to troubleshoot a automobile malfunction while you are driving the car itself.

  • WRT54G V8 Can't connect to web based setup page?

    Earlier I reset my router and was able to use 192.168.1.1 to visit the web based setup page while trying to re-establish a home network now that I have a new computer using Windows 7 which can not use the easylink advisor. I was able to get on the page to update my SSID and WEP key. But when my wireless devices were still having problems connecting to the internet I tried to go back to the page and found that I can't get it to connect, though my desktop is able to connect to other internet sites just fine.
    Does anyone know what i can be doing wrong? I am using Verizon DSL. I was able to ping the router and all tests showed that it was connected fine, yet I still cannot get on the setup page and my laptop still can't connect to the network. I have tried resetting the router again, and still nothing. And yes, I have gone through numerous power cycles. I also tried going though the network map on my computer, but the computer says it was unable to create a map for it even though at the time I had it listed as a Home network.

    Wireless connections to 192.168.1.1  often fail.  When accessing the router setup pages, always use a computer that is wired to the WRT54G.
    If the above does not solve your problem, then here are my other tips for viewing the router setup pages:
    You do not need an Internet connection. The router's "web pages" are built into the router.
    Use Internet Explorer, it usually works.
    JavaScript must be enabled.
    Use a computer that is wired to the router.

If this does not work, try the following with Zone Alarm: Open the ZAISS control center, go to Privacy, then temporarily turn off Ad Blocking and Cookie Control, and see if that fixes your problem.
    Some Zone Alarm users have reported that adding 192.168.1.1 to their list of "trusted" addresses fixed the problem. This trick might also work with other firewalls.
    If you are using Noton Internet Security with the Add-on Pack, be sure to turn off the Pop-up Blocker, and the Ad blocker. Some users have reported that they needed to uninstall the entire Norton Add-on Pack.
    If you cannot get anything at 192.168.1.1 then perhaps this is not your router's address. Go to "Start" > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.

  • (WRT160N V3 router) Issue connecting to web-based setup page

    I am currently having 2 issues with my router. The first issue is the fact that I can not connect to my router's setup page (192.168.1.1). When I type the ip into my browser I get an error saying unable to connect to it. I have an internet connection and can connect to other websites perfectly fine, so the only issue I have is the setup page.
    The second problem is my wireless connection. Over the past few days, I have started to experience a major ping increase in online games, and a speedtest (and pingtest) showed an issue with my wireless connection. Download speeds are normally 19-20mbps and upload speeds are normally above 6-7mbps. Recently the speeds have become about .39mbps and 2mbps respectively. Unfortunately because I can not connect to my router's setup page I can not modify any configurations that would allow me to possibly pinpoint the issue with the wireless connection.
    tl;dr: Can not connect to my router's setup page in order to modify configuration settings to speed up my wireless connection which has been having issues.
    Edit: Hardwired connections to the router are getting about 28mbps download as they should be. These computers also can not connect to the setup page.

    You'd have to reconfigure your router again.

  • WRT54GL - Cannot access the router

    I can't access the router "WRT54GL" from 192.168.1.1.
    I don't know username and password.
    Could you help me please?

    Before I suggest you for any troubleshooting steps. I would like to know few questions. Let me know the IP address from the router? Here are the steps to check the IP address.
    You can check the IP address in the following manner:
    # Click on Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt.
    # A black pop up box should come up, type: "ipconfig /all" …
    There check the IP address and Default Gateway under LAN….
    If the Default gateway is '192.168.1.1' then in case once reset the router... Steps to reset the router:
    Push the reset button on router for 30 seconds, turn off the router wait for 30 seconds and then power it on.
    Power light should blink when you perform the reset process.
    The default password is “admin” and you may leave the User name field blank.
    Here is the link for accessing the router's web -based setup page: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&login=1&vw=1&app=search&articleid=3676&userrole=Linksy...

  • Is there a way to access the web-based setup for my router if I cannot access the internet?

    Okay, I need to change the ip address settings on my router. I have a WRT54G Wireless router. I cannot access the internet on my computer connected to the router, and do not know how to change the router settings without accessing the web-based setup page. So, back to my question. Is there a way to access this page if I cannot connect to the internet?

    On the back of the router is a small reset switch. Using a paper clip or other small item, press the switch in and hold it for a few seconds. This will reset the router to the default IP address of 192.168.1.1. Enter that address in your web browser, and be sure your computer is attached to the router by an Ethernet cable. Don't attempt to do this using the wireless connection.
    Once you have reached the web configuration utility you can change the DHCP settings.
    To give your PC a static IP address you will need to open your network connections panel and, assuming your using Windows XP, make the changes from dynamic IP to static there.

  • WRT310N No Way To Setup and Configure Router. CD Setup No, Web Based Setup No

    Purchased New WTR310N yesterday. LESA does not run from CD. Web based Setup Page Will Not Load. Did two 2 hr Remote Setup sessions so far with Linksys Techs in Phillipines and India. After 1st Tech was done, nothing would connect to router. Tech tried to setup our 4 PCs by setting up one as a server and using ICS to setup the rest. Tech disabled TTP, DHCP, ete everything that works as a home network. I think Tech also setup a password and user name on Router without telling me. I had to spend 2 hrs using Vista and XP Wizards to setup a router network, both wired and wireless. Since Router is not configured yet can only access unsecured wireless networks. But 2 wireless printers do not work yet. Tech today was excellent in India. She reinstalled my Linksys USB Wireless Adapter that I use to print with. Still not printing, and green light not coming on, on USB Adapter. Tech managed to upgrade Router Firmware, but could never get web based router setup to load. Got the password and user name box to show up once, but admin and blank username does not work. My XBox 360 installed in 15 seconds and is fast so Router working fine. So need help with getting Linksys USB Wireless Adapters to access wireless printers and somehow get router admin pages to load so I can turn on WEP and type in our WEP Code. Last router was Linksys 54G, all worked fine for years, then quit working so got new router. Any ideas before I try calling Tech Support again, thanks.

    As you want to make the network secured but the admin password is not working....You have to reset the router and re-configutre it again...
    Press and hold the reset button for 60 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...

  • Web Based Setup / Not loading properly

    I'm having a problem with my WRT54G V6 (wireless router).  It happened few times since i got this router.   (A friend of mine also have a wireless router from Linksys, i don't know the model).
    We both have the same problem:
    - After running for a while, the router doesn't seems to work anymore.  I can't access any web page or other things, so i come to my desktop (WIRED) to the router, try to access the Web Based Setup page, and it BARELY LOAD!  The HTML page is sloppy, like if it never finish to load or even worse: all tabs have different font size and colors.
    - When it happen, i have no choice to remove the power cable, then put it back and everything get back to normal.
    What could cause that?
    I've upgraded the firmware many times (even did it this morning with v1.02.0, but i'm sure i'll have the same problem again and again).
    My router is not submitted to power fluctuation, it's plugged to an UPS.
    THANKS!

    Hi… Reduce the MTU on this router to 1365. If you re-flash or upgrade the firmware make sure you reset this router to factory default settings and reconfigure it.
