Linksys Wireless Adapters :: Cannot Connect With WMP54G
Apr 23, 2008
I am having some trouble getting my computer with Windows XP to use the Linksys model WMP54G wireless - G PCI adapter to connect to the network in my house. I have installed the hardware and the drivers. When I open the view available wireless networks window my network shows up with two bars of strength. But when I select this network and click connect, I get an error message saying "Windows is unable to connect to the selected network. The network may no longer be in range. Please refresh the list of available networks, and try to connect again." I have other computers connecting to this wireless network without any problem. The wireless router I am using is the model WRT150N wireless

making Windows 7 do what it's supposed to? Seriously, there needs to be a button you can click to roll it completely back to XP.

I recently re-installed Windows on my PC, and I had the Wireless-G PCI Adapter installed before I done the re-installation.Now I've re-installed Windows, the adapter doesn't work. Do I have to re-do the whole process again? Also, I didn't actually install it myself, so any detailed step-by-step tutorial?

My router is located in my living room and my desktop is in a room located some 30 fett away with several walls in between. I am a light user (surf internet, read emails) and I do not have any special requirements.My router is a WRT54G router and my Wireless-G PCI Adapter is a WMP54G. Both have worked well for the last 5 years or so. Unfortunately, I had some work done in my room and the workers have broken the antenna on my desktop PCI adapter.What should I buy to replace my WMP54G?Should I get a PCI adapter or an USB adapter? Which one?Reliability, range and ease of use are my priorities. Price is not a major concern.

I installed Windows 7 Ultimate on my computer, and I cannot get my Linksys to work on it, the light doesn't light but it shows up in device manager. I've tried using Vista 32-bit drivers but it doesn't work at all, I am thinking it isn't a driver issue at all because it shows that the driver is up to date.

I got the D-Link router setup and with the network key. When i tried to type the network key in my pc(which has the adapter). it gave me an error.Network key password need to be 40 bits or 104 bit depend on network configuration. This can be 5 or 13 ascii characters or 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters". what does it mean? because the network key work with other pc..but not my pc with WMP 54G. reason?

I had an antenna break on a WMP54g v 4.1 and I was able to replace it with a WMP54g v 4 but I'm not having a lot of luck getting the driver to install. This is on Win7 32 bit Home Premium. I assume this is due to the fact that I was using a newer and switched to an older piece of hardware and there is some driver issues. How to uninstall the old driver completely so I can start fresh I have tried everything I know to do and can't seem to get anywhere.

Where I can find a driver for:WMP54g v2 for Vista SP2 32bit It used to work just fine, until I recently reinstalled Vista (and installed all the updates) and now my internet connection is "limited." This means that it connects, but is extremely slow and the connection goes in and out.Here are some random notes about my problem:
Nothing is disabled, there are not any conflicts, and the problem remains even if I restore the OS back to restore point that I created right after reinstalling Vista (and before doing anything else).If I hook the computer directly up to my netgear router via cable, Windows Update will download and install a more recent version of said driver (no improvement).Other laptops in the house have no problems with the wifi. I have turned off both my cable modem and wifi router several times.The adapter does connect to the internet, and the signal strength is "excellent", but if drill down to the properties of the connection, it says that IPV4 is connected to the internet, but IPV6 is "limited." This then results in a very weak connection to the internet that goes in and out. I have tried unchecking IPV6 per some recommendations, but that did not work. I have tried resetting everything (winsock, etc) via command prompt. Firewall is off, no antivirus software

I just bought this wireless g pci card and installed the software from the cd on to a windows 2000 pc. When I went to run the software I can only click on the exit button. I looked on the forums and saw that for win 2000 you should only install the drivers by allowing your computer to detect the card. I uninstalled the software but my computer wont detect the card now and if I reinstall the software I cant even open it up anymore. The card is not listed in the device manager at all. Would installing i the first time have created anything in the registry that would have been left behind in the uninstall and would it be blocking the computer from detecting this as new hardware?

I installed the Linksys WMP54G wireless adapter card in my windows 98 SE computer before I installed the software. (I now know the software is supposed to be installed before the hardware is installed.) The software didn't work. It wouldn't connect to any network. (I have used this adapter card and software before, so I know how to get it to connect when it is working properly.)I used the uninstall to uninstall it, but it didn't work. It removed most of the files, but in the "program add/remove" window (in control panel), the Linksys software is still listed. Using "program add/remove" to try to remove the Linksys software also doesn't work. It acts as if it is removing the software and then shows a message that says the software is 100% removed, but, after rebooting, the software is still listed in the "program add/remove" list. The WMP54G CD won't reinstall the software. Instead it says the software is already installed. How to find whatever WMP54G software file(s) are left on my computer and tell me how to manually remove them.

I have the WMP54G internal wireless adaptor. It normally works fine, but I have been having problems with it lately when I turn my computer back on from sleep. Even thought the wireless router works just fine, when the computer wakes up from sleep the adaptor does not seem to detect any network. I have to restart my computer, and then the adaptor detects the network.

I'm having an issue with a 2 week old WMP54G pci adapter. The behavior is as follows: I get a successful connection and excellent speeds, but every 10 seconds it stops transmitting and drops off the network for a moment. Then everything comes right back. 10 seconds on, drop, 10 seconds on, drop.I've investigated possible sources of interference, but there aren't any strong networks coming though on the same or nearby channels. Moreover, other devices sitting in essentially the same spot are connected consistently and show no variation in the signal strength.
Other info: OS is Ubuntu 10.10, the machine is a Dell GX270.

I'm trying to install a WMP54G PCI Version 4.1 in my Windows 2000 Pro SP4 computer. I ran the setup cd before installing the card, then took out the disk. After installing the card and powering the computer, the Available Wireless Network screen didn't appear. I also didn't get the Network Monitor icon on the taskbar. Network Monitor appears in the start menu, but can't be started. Device Manager says the card is working properly and there are no conflicts.
I uninstalled the software, removed the card, and repeated the installation process with the same end result. The card light blinks like it is receiving data. I'm using a Linksys WRT54G2 router. Both my desktop (W7) and my laptop (Vista) connect just fine. How can I get my W2K computer on the network?

I picked up a AE3000 for an older laptop, but it will not connect to any network. It is on an older (01') dell laptop running XP SP3. I have tried using the disk and downloading the latest drivers on-line but no luck. It picks up all the networks around me and mine, but it says trying to connect and just can't. I tried it on another laptop and everything works fine. Is there an issue with this adapter and the original USB ports or XP in general? I have checked and rechecked the passcodes, I have deleted all of the profiles and started from the beginning again. I removed my anti-virus program as well as the last effort. Nothing I do seems to make a difference though.This is just used to access the internet on a laptop that is dedicated to a telescope.

I have a WET54GS5 that I can't setup:
I am running Vista and have the bridge connected to a WRTP54G wireless router...I have also turned with Windows firewall OFF. My network has been setup properly and all other components work fine.
I have tried the setup CD, but get the "The Setup Utility was unable to locate a Wireless G Ethernet bridge..." message.
I have also held the reset button for 30+ seconds and tried to log into the bridge directly using the IP addy (192.168.1.226)

Bought the AE1000. Hooked it up to my desktop computer (Sony VAIO), and it immediately recognized my wireless network in my house. However, when trying to log on, it asks for the network key, which I correctly enter and it attempts to log on, but fails to connect! I have called Linksys, and they claim it is my ISP's fault. I called Comcast (My ISP) and they claim it is a faulty product.

I just moved an older Windows XP Desktop /w Service Pack 3 from my parent's house over to mine after having my laptop fail on me. It was previously connected wirelessly at their house with a Microsoft MN-510 wireless adapter. When I got it up and running at my house, it was not picking up any networks with the MN-510. So I picked up a new AE2500 today, thinking that the ancient MN-510 may be the problem. Plugged it in, threw in the disc and voila, it started picking up Networks. The problem is, It is not connecting to my Network. The router is a Motorola SBG901. I have already disabled the security on the router and made sure that the MAC Filtering is disabled, but it is still not connecting. There has been no other issues with connecting any of our other devices.

I just moved and when I unpacked my ANCENT desktop (circa 2005), the wireless adapter, that had worked with no issues in my last home, would not connect to the internet. I bought a new one, a My router and internet connection are working just fine, as I am able to get on my laptop with no problems whatsoever. After doing many online searches and two long chat conversations with Linksys tech support, no one can seem to figure out what the problem is. The last Linksys person I talked to suggested that it might be the router settings that are preventing my PC from connecting. My internet provider (who provided the router) confirmed that there is nothing with the settings to prevent me from connecting to any device.
This is what happened: I installed the software with my new adapter. It worked fine for a day or so until I rebooted my computer. My friend messed around with it and somehow managed to get it to connect again (he has no recollection of how he did this).
When I clicked on "Find Available Wireless Networks", NOTHING came up even though I knew I had not only my own network available, but others in my range. I finally managed (with Linksys agent) to stop the Linksys software from managing the connection, and got Wireless Zero Connection to manage the connection. So now, when I click on my network, I get a little box that says, "Connected!", however in the list of available networks, it shows my network and says "Not Connected". And of course when I try to connect to the internet it does not work.
I can't download a driver because I don't have the ability to hardwire this PC to the internet. Plus, I got it to work before, so I figure there must be a way for me to get it to work again.

Just got the WRT54G2 and setup it fine with or without encrytion and passwords - however when I setup the other 2 pcs on my network - the only way I can get them setup and going is WITHOUT encryption and password protection - setiing up without encryption on those works fine, but it defeats the purpose of what I'm trying to do. I was on the phone with Linksys for over an hour and they can't seem to get it to work either - guess they got stumped and after an hour - I was put on hold and then cut off.

I am installing a Cisco EA2500 wireless USB adapter to my old desktop (windows xp pro) and it keeps asking me for a WEP key/password to connect to my network that obviously must be 5 characters and my network/router is WPA2 and is more than 5 characters. How do I connect?

Ive been reading the forums up and down about this device and i notice other threads with users having the "Exact" problem im having. Only problem is im noticing a simaalar theme to ech of those threads. The issue doesnt have a resolution.
With that said i figured i would give this a try regaurdless. The problem i have is very simple.
Windows 7 Yltimate 64 bit.
Motherboard: ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO
Proc: Phenom x6
Ram: 8 Gb
Ive tried all USB ports (2.0) on the computer and they all exibit the same said behavior. This being that when you turn the computer off, restart it, or put it to sleep...the AE1000 will not power on and has to be unseated from the USB port and then reseated before the device is seen by the system and then and only then does it fire up, connect and work perfectly.
The drivers i have used have been the ones off the CD, Then i removed those and downloaded the ones from the website. These drivers have been installed after removing the entry from device manager manually after attempts to use the normal method resulted in the same behavior.
Also i have installed this device on my Dell E6400, Dell D620 Running Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit and 64 bit and they also exibit the same exact behavoir.

I have had a wusb100 on my computer for some time. Yesterday it kept showing that it had a very weak signal and wouldn't connect to the internet, although the other computers in the house were fine.. I've reinstalled it and the device manager shows it working fine. The tv screen icon advised me that there are wireless networks in the area but the adapter isn't connected. When I click on the pop up, it tells me that there are no wireless networks in range.
