WRTP54G router: I have internet access wirelessly but a wired desktop doesn't.

We have an excellent wireless network working in the house, but my desktop (which isn't wireless) can't get internet access.  It says that a network cable is unplugged - it's not.  When a cable is plugged into one of the 4 ethernet ports in the back of the router, the ethernet lights on the front don't light up or flash or anything.  I think that part isn't working.  Is there anything I can do?  Should I update the firmware?  Or just get a new router?  I have tried using different cables, but nothing changes.  The only way for the desktop to get online is to take the router out of the configuration, but then the wireless network and the Vonage phone are out.
I went to ipconfig at the command prompt and under Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: my Media State is Media disconnected.  So, I'm guessing the ethernet ports on the router are not working at all. 
Thanks for your help.

Go to Solution.

Do continuos ping ping 192.168.1.1 -t and check how many replies or RTO you will have. If you have replies even just a bit connect your PC to the modem to get internet connection and download the latest firmware and upgrade utility for your Router.
FIRMWARE
1. Go to www.linksys.com/downloads
2. Enter the Model Number of your Router
3. Choose Get Downloads
4. Select the Device Version
5. Check Downloads and Drivers then download the Firmware
UPGRADE UTILITY
1. Go to www.linksys.com/downloads
2. Enter the Model Numner BEFSR41
3. Choose Get Downloads
4. Select Device Version - Version 4.0
5. Check Downloads and Drivers then download the Utility
After downloading those files.
Connect your PC back to the Router then run the TFTP(Utlity) set Server = 192.168.1.1; Password = admin; then choose the firmware file that you have downloaded. Then Upgrade the firmware of your router.
Note : Make sure the you have set the TCP/IP and DNS Server of you computer back to OBTAIN IP ADDRESS.
Note : To run the TFTP Utility set the TCP/IP and DNS Server of your computer back to USE THE FOLLOWING IP ADDREESS.
Just follow the previous posts to do this. Good Luck.

  • Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. Please help!

    Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. I don't get a spinning ball, it just stops working at whatever page it's on. I can close the program just fine but when I re-open it, either safari or firefox, it freezes trying to load the hompage. This started a few days ago after trying to stream a movie on my computer. I'm on a Mac Air OS X Version 10.6.8 and have downloaded all updates. When I go into finder, it says I have over 80 gigs available. Is there some other memory cache that I need to check? Thanks so much for your help.

    It's not a router problem as I explained in my post. If it was a router problem then I wouldn't have the problem everywhere I go. It is an issue with the software.
    Then I guess the millions of people running 10.5.7 with no issues are just hallucinating that their machines are working fine?
    I'm not trying to belittle your issues; you're certainly having them and I know first hand how annoying an intermittent AirPort issue can be. (In fact, mine was due to an AirPort driver bug that no one else seemed to suffer from.)
    The single best diagnostic you could do is take your system running 10.5.7 to an Apple Store, and try using their in-store network.
    If your machine performs flawlessly, it may be a router issue.
    If your machine has connectivity issues there, it may be a hardware problem with your machine.
    There have been numerous people in multiple threads over the years who swore that an update was buggy because things used to work, but returned later to sheepishly admit that they took their machine in, a problem was found and fixed, and now their Mac works flawlessly with the newer software.
    But simply reinstalling 10.5.5 in no way means the explanation of how firmware bugs may be at play here is incorrect.
    In the context of that explanation, all you've done is possibly reinstall software that asks to add "2 + 3."

  • Unable to receive internet connection over wifi connection.  Shows that I am connected to the network, but do not have internet access.  Checked my firewall and turned it off.  What else am I missing or should be doing differently?

    You might want to try resetting your router and your modem - just unplug the cords, leave them unplugged for about 3-5 minutes and then replug the modem and then the router in that order.
    This may or may not correct your problem - call back if it doesn't.

  • Mac won't update software or access iTunes shop. Message comes up with 'not connected to the net. Check connections' error. I still have internet access. Changed my Apple ID but no result. Repaired permissions and re-installed operating system.

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

  • Can anyone tell me how I keep everything I had in my old photoshop, now I've updated to Photoshop CC 2014.  It did give me the option to transport over all my presets, but because I didn't have internet access at the time, it couldn't do it.  Now I'm not

    Can anyone tell me how I keep everything I had in my old photoshop, now I've updated to Photoshop CC 2014.  It did give me the option to transport over all my presets, but because I didn't have internet access at the time, it couldn't do it.  Now I'm not getting the option.  Please help.

    Migrating Presets does not require a network connection and you can still migrate your cc presets if you still have CC installed.  Use Photoshop menu Edit>Presets>Migrate Presets...  Migrating presets only migrates presets.  It does not migrate Plugins, settings, extensions and scripts.  CC 2014 is also not completely backwards compatible with CC.  Support for Flash Panels and Oil Painter filter have been removed.  So extensions like mini bridge no longer work in CC 2014

  • I have Internet access, but don't have an ability to watch videos on our new iPad2.  We are in a hotel, could it be their service or firewall issue?

    If you are unable to view content that has already been downloaded then you problem is within you device.  First shut it down all the way by holiding the sleep button at the top until the power off slide appears at the top of your screen. Then slide that and wait while it powers off. Give it a good 30 seconds to do this.  then power it back up. if that doesn't work, you may need to call the apple care folks. One other option is to restore it to factory settings and reload it with the updates first and then sink your media to it. You should already have it backed up to iCloud, but if not, do that first then do the restore.

  • Is there a way to have internet access for my laptop through Verizon?  I have a smartphone, but I don't want to rack up too much data.

    Is there a way to have internet access for my laptop through Verizon?  I have a smartphone, but I don't want to rack up too much data.  How would the laptop connect to the  4G? network?  Thanks for any info:)

    Rcshnoor nailed it, everything will depend on how they manage their data connection once the laptop is connected.  It is perfectly feasible that they will have no issues with this new connection.  However, there is nothing stopping the user from going above and beyond the data usage cap currently sufficient for the phone by itself.  We cannot presume that any estimations on new usage will be accurate either.
    Users should always be aware of the reality that revolves around data usage and the devices that consume them.  Its no different than installing a 2nd waterline/hose on your house.  Sure the hose will be fine if you remember to turn it off when you are done, but no one is going to stop you from letting it run all night if you forget.

  • "No internet access" error, but can connect to any webpage - Intel 6300

    I've been experiencing a somewhat annoying error; it seems very hard to troubleshoot just based on the terminology ("no internet access" is a very popular search).
    I have a W520 with the intel 6300 nic.
    The networking center says that I have "no internet access", and displays the dreaded yellow exclamation.  I have verified that the networking center is selecting the network I'm connected to (checked the SSID). 
    Strangely enough, I can connect to any website/download anything. It seems that after 15-20 minutes, the error will go away and it will finally acknowledge I have internet access. I have tripled verified all the settings, everything seems to check out fine (DNS, DG, IP, etc..). There are no conflicts on the network.
    It's not like the error inhibits anything, but it's annoying when you're trying to troubleshoot network errors. 
    Anyone run into this before?
    Thanks in advance for any help  

    hey nfs924,
    got some questions for you mate.
    connecting via wireless or wired ?
    If via wireless, is the wireless transmission from your device on encryption (wep/psk) or open?
    have you tried the unit at a different location ? Was the result the same ?
    While you gather the answers, head over to http://support.lenovo.com and crosscheck with the network card of your unit.
    old version on your unit = update it please
    same version = reinstall.

  • Why must I have Internet access and be logged into Adobe to use Photoshop Elements?

    I can not use Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 unless I have Internet access and log into an Adobe account.  Why?  This means you can't install the software on a laptop and use it while traveling unless you have 100% Internet access throughout your trip.  What a load of .......  Why is this?  I there a way around it?
    Any advice appreciated.

    Thanks Barbara.  I tested it (trust but verify ) and that is the case.  I must have been logging out, and thus deactivating, in my earlier testing.  I agree, bad choice of words or phrasing by Adobe.   Thanks again.

  • Can I use my iPhone to have internet access on the iPad?

    Can I use my iPhone to have internet access on the iPad?

    Yes, but you have to have your phone set up for tethering. Depending on your carrier that might require a special plan.

  • TS1398 As a truck driver, I don't have internet access, my cell phone doesn't support Apple yet either,,, How can i gain internet access on the road if I'm rolling and not in a stationary place for wifi?

    I recently purchased an i pad and have the internet at home, I am also a truck driver and once i leave home, I won't have the internet unless I stop close to where there is wifi, is there anything out there that I can purchase so I will have the internet at all times

    I purchased a Verizon MIFI 2200 mobile hotspot with my forst generation iPad almost tow years ago so that I could have internet access with my WiFi only iPad and my iPod Touch. All in all it is pretty reliable but as varjak paw stated above...
    "Either of course will be dependening on your being in a location where the carrier provides cell coverage".
    Like my cell phone - there are locations where the MIFI doesn't play nice with the cellular networks and it may struggle to find a good signal. On the other hand, sometimes my connection zips along quite nicely. Just keep that in mind - if and when you decide to purchase a mobile hotspot.

  • On my iPad I have a working icloud that I have complete access to, but on my iPhone it keeps asking me for the password for it, but I do not know it! And the email that I used is not activated anymore! How do I delete the icloud account on my phone?

    On my iPad I have a working icloud that I have complete access to, but on my iPhone it keeps asking me for the password for it, but I do not know it! And the email that I used is not activated anymore! How do I delete the icloud account on my phone?

    Hi Aurion23,
    If you intend to keep using iCloud on your iPad, your best course of action would be to update your Apple ID/iCloud information so that you have a known password and it is associated with an active email address. You may find the following articles helpful:

    You'll need to provide some more information .... what current mac mini do you have? Click on the apple in the left corner of the menu bar, click about this mac, and what does it say for processor, memory, and os x version?
    When you say you have no DVD, do you have the mac mini server or is the DVD broken?
    You can't do anything with 10.6 Snow Leopard on a PowerPC mini, however, if it is an Intel-based mini, you could probably hook up the systems in target disk mode to install 10.6.
