My router has been working for close to 4 years now with minor problems, just stopped yesterday, All my PCs lost wifi access and then when I looked at my Linksys WRT300N only the 4 Ethernet port lights were on. Unplugged plugged it again, I connected one of the PCs to the one of the Ethernet port, the PC is reporting that there is nothing connected to the other side. It's been 4 years already, I do have a Linksys wireless G router even older than this which is till working. I guess its spoiled, I don't mind replacing it
My Linksys router stopped working. Resetting it didn't restore it.I bought a new Linksys E4200 router and configured it to the same settings as my old router. However, now I can't access certain website like Hotmail, Facebook, a weather site and others.But I can connect to most other websites, stream video, etc. Any suggestions why I can't connect to Hotmail, Facebook, etc???? I have 4 computers (3 wired, 1 wireless) connected through the router and they all do the same thing.
called my internet company yesterday with a problem that my internet was not working.. so we went through some steps and basically he had me remove the wireless cord from the router put it into my computer (at the time it wasn't working via that either) and reset my ip, it started working after that and he just said I must've gotten a faulty ip. Now it still won't get internet from my router, we all have laptops in the house so wifi is essential. The internet light on the router still blinks green.[CODE]
I have a Century Link modem connected to a Linksys router. I have three computers hooked up wireless. I used another computer to hook up with the ethernet cable because that wouldn't work wireless for some reason. A little while after that, the Linksys network stopped working completely(all three computers could not access the internet). Now I can only connect to the internet if I use a ethernet cable from the modem.
Like the title says, the wifi on my wag120n stopped working. It happened suddenly, nothing was changed in the settings. It stopped showing when i'm searching for wireless connections (SSID is still enabled).
My router randomly stopped working after I bumped into the wire. It still shows up as a network you can connect to, but whenever I try to connect, it keeps saying there is a problem with my connection. I tried using a different internet cord, but nothing changes. I even tried to reinstall my router and still no dice.
EA4500 was working fine for about 2 months.Now, its not so happy.Power indicator is on.Plug something into one of network ports - nothing, and no indicator LEDs are on.Plug an operational internet cable into it - nothing, and no indicator LEDs are on.
Last night, my wireless router suddenly stopped working. I no longer saw my router listed in my available wireless networks, and neither could my girlfriend from her computer. I unplugged the router to see if one of the available networks had disappeared in case my router had somehow been reset, and nothing changed so my computer isnt even seeing my router. Right now, I am wired through the router so I know the router works, but the wireless part doesnt for some reason. I was looking up stuff in the FAQ, and think the firmware is corrupted since the LEDs are all blinking. I was trying to update my firmware following the instructions I found using tftp.exe, however it failed. One problem is that I can't set up a static IP address since I need to access the web-based utility to check my DNS server but I cannot access the web-based utility anymore (maybe cause of the corrupted firmware?). On a related note, there is someone else in my building using a linksys with the default network name of linksys. I had changed my network's name and security-protected it, though that is all likely gone now since I tried to reset the router. My question is what will the network name of my router be if I saw it since "linksys" is already taken. or will there just be two of them?
I have WRT54G connected to a cable modem for internet service. Came home at lunch yesterday and all was working fine. Came home after work last night and couldn't connect to the internet. Called Charter cable this morning and their troubleshooting showed I can connect to the internet fine if I bypass the router, so the issue must be with the router (and of course not their problem...). How do I trouble shoot this? I've tried powering down the router and releasing and renewing IP addresses but it hasn't worked.
I have a Linksys WRT54GS wireless router that has stopped working. All it will do is all 4 of the Ethernet port lights on the front light up solid green along with the Internet light. Is there any hope of fixing this?
It wouldn't make that much of a difference, but I already purchased a new LInksys Cisco EA3500, but I cannot get it to do my port forwarding. I have tried everything and nothing works. Have spent hours on the phone with tech support with no solution. My old WRT54GS just simply worked. The port forwarding worked perfect. I have tried the exact same setup in the new EA3500 and no luck no matter what I try.
So, is there anything I can do to get the old WRT54GS working? I have tried holding the reset button in for 1 minute and then unplugging it
My M20 Valet Plus stopped working suddenly last night. Now no power lights will come on and it now longer transmitts as a connection point . No apparent sign that it's alive. I've owned it troublefree for just over a year, but it is out of warranty. Any way to tell if there is hope of reviving it or if I'm just out of luck? Nothing happened at my end to cause this -- no power interruptions or other odd occurrences.
A couple days ago I noticed that my wireless internet connection on my iPhone would cut in and out, then stopped all together. I also had no connection on my mac which is wired to the WRT110. I bypassed the WRT110 and then I had a connection on my Mac meaning the WRT110 is the problem. I haven't changed or added anything lately that could've caused this....
I have had a WAG320N running problem free for approx 2 months, in that time I've upgraded the firmware 1.00.12 with no issues and has run fine for a month after upgrade. I have 3 laptops connected wirelessly and 2 pc's running wired (through homeplug system) plus TV, PS3 and ipods, all have run without issues.
All of a sudden 2 days ago all wireless connectivity stopped? SSID is still broadcasting and viewable but I can no longer connect with any computer or device. Wired connectivity is working fine.
I've checked security settings, turned off encryption, reset factory defaults, re-downloaded latest firmware and reflashed with no luck. As I said wirless stopped working all of a sudden with no changes to settings.
I have the Linksys WRT54G And it was working fine for years! Then today my computer shut down and when I turned it back on there was a connection but my computer was not responding to any commands. The icon shows full connectivity excellent connection. When I try to go to a web page it shows Connection Error and cannot get to any web pages.I am able to get on other wireless connections from neighbors but not mine. I have gone thru different directions on here and I am not technical and don't understand what is being said. I try to go to 192.168.1.1 and it asks for a password which I don't have. I have tried everything such as password and admin and get nothing.I am able to get my ip address and default gateway address and don't know the next step.
My WAG120N router has stopped working completely. None of the Ethernet ports or the wi-fi signal button is lit,power light continues to blink for 10 odd mins and then comes to a rest. Tried to login to admin portal without any success, tried to reset it pressing the reset button in the back without any success.Tried the 30-30-30 reset method without success too.
My Linksys WRP400 router has stopped working. power led blinks red and orange - phone led 1 and 2 light green - wifi connection not work - ethernet LAN connection not work - ethernet WAN connection not work - router now work in bridge mode - factory reset using Reset switch not work - connected analogue phone not work I try dump traffic using ngrep on LAN and WAN port but no packet comes from the router.
I have the WRT54G router for years and use it to provide both a wireless network for our home computers and a wired network for by internet phone that connects me to my office phone system and for my work computer and printer. Last week, the wired network stopped working. I checked the wiring and plugged my wire into all four of the ports in the back of the router with no success. I followed the troubleshooting procedure that I found and changed the MTU setting. I tried to update the firmware but the screen seemed to lock up and I was unable to complete the task.
I've had the WRT400N for about a year and a half now and just last night it stopped sending out data when connected to my cable modem. I've tried connecting the modem directly to my Mac and it works just fine (that's how I'm sending this message now). But when the modem is connected to the router, I get no data. It connects to both the 5 Ghz and 2.4 Ghz networks, but it refuses to send data through the pipe. I've tried power cycling both the modem and the router to no avail.
i am a using a WRT54GH linksys router.. which was working fine for a year.. there was thunderstorm and lightning a few days back.. since then my routers internet port (the first port which says internet in yellow) has stopped working..
The router stopped working for wired connections. I can still go online using my laptop via wifi, but when I connect a network cable to the laptop and turn off wi fi, connection does not work. Can't go online with a desktop with a wired connection to router.Everything else works via wi fi: iPad, android phone, tv with wifi.
I purchased an e4200 about 6 months ago and it worked great until the other night the Internet stopped working on my laptop (wireless). I tried unplugging both my modem (Motorola Surfboard) and router and plugging them back in, but no luck. I can accesss the Internet when plugged directly into the router (with both my PC and laptop), so it looks like the issue is with the e4200. To make matters worse (and I fear much worse), I can't even access the admin page to the router through either the Cisco Connect software or through the IP address. I've tried resetting it, I've tried the 30/30/30 reset (holding the reset button while doing an unplug and pluging back in), and reinstalling the Cisco Connect software, all to no avail.
I've found threads where others have not been able to access the admin page, but they still had access to the Internet url... I haven't found a similar thread where the router doesn't seem to work at all. A few other bits of information I can think of (let me know if there's other information I can provide):The Cisco logo light flashes slowly after reset which I believe is expected.The lights in back of the router seem to work as intended.Running Windows 7 Diagnostics finds the connection "doesn't have a valid IP configuration" and "The default gateway is not available."
Powerline not working on media in one room. My Setup: ATT DSL Modem: Westell 6500 w/ Linksys WRT54GS router
First powerline to mac (about 8 feet down hall) second powerline to pc (windows vista) (about 12 feet down hall) third powerline to media (Xbox 360, Sony blu ray, Apple TV) (about 45 feet down hall)
I've had Powerline PLE/S 300 setup for a couple years I think working perfectly. I it set up because my house is VERY solidly built and the G wireless cannot reach even the second room down the hall.
I recently got a wireless device and couldn't keep connection in the living room so I was going to add an access point and futzed with the router and everything went down. I got the router back up, disconnected the access point for good, but the Powerlines wouldn't connect. I upgraded the firmware then reset them and finally got Number 1 and Number two powerline online and working. But the farthest point (router at back of house, media at front) is the living room and none of the powerline boxes will work ON THE MEDIA.
I plug in the powerline and the home light comes up, I attached my laptop out there and I connected fine, then I connect one of the media players - the Xbox, apple or blue ray - and the home light goes out media will not connect and the laptop is knocked off. It does this every time now, same media players that worked perfectly before.
I bought a new router (Linksys E4200), wondering if the old just didn't have the signal strength and set that up very easily and the same thing happened - no powerlines work on the media in the living room. Mind you, I did take Apple to a closer room and hook it up to a powerline and it works!
As my Xbox died on one my attempts to plug it in to the powerline. So new xbox cannot connect either. I used to connect from xbox to the pc media center to watch recorded tv and this cannot be done wirelessly, even with the new dual band N router AND a new extender!
My router was working just fine forever, the only computer that will connect VIA wire is my desktop, everything else for it to connect to my network it has to go wireless. Things like my blu ray player just will not connect. I am not an expert at all, but why is only the wireless working? I can use the Cisco connect and adjust the settings if need be.
I've had the AE2500 adapter for a few weeks now, and it's worked fine up to this point. When I started up my computer today, however, it wouldn't connect to the network. I've uninstalled the software that came with the adapter and I've tried to reinstall it. However, when I got to the installation step to insert the adapter, the computer would not identify the AE2500. I've tried updating the drivers through the device manager, but I received an error stating that "a device attached to the system is not functioning".
I tried searching google and Cisco Home Community for this answer, but no luck. Maybe I didn't phrase my search correctly. I have an external drive connected to a mac mini which is shared on the network. When transferring folders to or from that external drive, our internet connection stops working until the transfer finishes, then comes back up. I've tested this in a variety of ways. Any transfer of data from shared folders in any combination of devices causes internet to stop working both on wired and wireless devices until the transfer is done, then they all work again. Router firmware: 1.0.03.

I have a WRT300N Linksys Router and I have not been very happy with it's performance. I know it's old now, but the final straw was when I started to need UPNP and the router keeps turning it off. I can only get it to work for an hour or so at a time by rebooting the router. Then after some time my device tells me UPNP is not working again. I saw some articles about this and tried several fixes, and I am beyond caring whether it works with UPNP anymore. I bought a NetGear N600 to replace it and so far it is working great. I had a linksys WRT54G years ago and it was a workhorse, never had any issues and it is still working today at a friend's house. I have had several Linksys routers since and have had nothing but bad luck. So I am giving Netgear a try.
Anyway... Now I have the Netgear router working I want to use the linksys to extend my wireless network. I ran a cable to the other side of my house where the wireless signal was not so good and plugged the cable into a LAN port on the WRT300N router. I then disabled the the firewall settings and DHCP, etc. I turned off UPNP (Not that I needed to, but I figured it would start working since I don't need it now and cause issues) I also turned off NAT. But I have an app that is telling me that I have 2 devices doing NAT on my network and the app doesn't like it.
how I can for SURE turn off NAT on the WRT300N router? I am getting ready to just go get another Netgear device and take the Linksys one out Office Space style.
After enduring some protracted problems with wireless connectivity, I decided to bite the bullet and upgrade my Linksys WRT300N from firmware version 2.00.08 to 2.00.21.I found the links to advice on how to achieve this, via a two-stage upgrade url...I followed the following steps: Upgrade firmware using file "wrt300n.bin" file, as per the above link. This brought the firmware version to 2.00.17. Upgrade went smoothly - config page refreshed after rebooting the router and all was well.Upgrade firmware using file "WRT300N-EU-ETSI-ML-2.00.21-code.img" file, downloaded from the Linksys support site. Again, the upgrade went smoothly (apparently) ... except that after rebooting the router, my config page failed to refresh.I have since powered the router off (wait 30 seconds) and on again. Still no web access.
The device, however, does seem to be working OK. I have wireless access, and wireless access, via computers on my network. The only thing I cannot do is access the web config page - but that's not quite satisfactory. I have a number of customised settings on the device, saved to a config file. Included among those is a changed IP address for the router of 192.168.1.10. I am tempted to do a hard reset to factory defaults, connect via a dedicated cable connection and then reapply my custom settings (either manually, or from the config file.) However at this stage I have no confidence that the device will have web access after reset - and then it won't be working for me at all!
Does firmware version 2.00.21 require http access via a specific port (i.e. not 80)? Is there some other way I can access the device for modifying configuration, other than by the web utility? (I have posted another question about obtaining a copy of my long-ago-misplaced Setup CD-ROM.
I unplugged my router and when I plugged it back in, it stopped working. The 4 port lights and the ethernet light come on immediately when I plug it in instead of the normal boot sequence.
I tried resetting it, leaving it unplugged for long periods, using the power supply from my other router,... nothing works.
Just got WRT300N for connecting my ps3 thru wi-fi. I got everything works but the signal that I got from my PS3 is around 50% only. I am using latest Linksys firmware. My ps3 is located around 25 feet away one floor down from my wireless router. But there is no major wall inbeween the connection. My WRT300N should be a cutting edge product for networking. How come I still got 50% signal strength? Besides moving the router or pS3 closed to each other.
My internet stopped working all of the sudden on my 2nd computer my 1st computer works fine (using atm) my 2nd computer stopped working all of the sudden it worked fine for about 2 years but the internet just went off for some reason it shows a computer with a yellow triangle with a black exclamation point on the bottom right corner it says connected but with limited connectivity ive tryed everything i know it is a windows XP i even bought a new internet cable today and the computer still does not work im new to these forums.
