Linksys Wireless Router :: Connecting PC To WRT54G2 V1

Oct 4, 2008

I've tried to connect my father's laptop and my father's girlfriend's daughter's PC to my Linksys Wireless Router, model #WRT54G2 V1. So far, I have steady and fast internet access on my PC which so far I've only gotten my father's laptop to connect through. However, I can't figure out how to get her PC to get internet access through my router. I'm mediocre at configuring computers, and I'm absolutely terrible at routers. :/ There was the possibility that her computer isn't new or advanced enough or whatever to be compatible with a wireless router, but at the same time she has a Wireless Network Setup Wizard app. in the control panel area, so wouldn't I be correct in assuming that if a computer has a wizard dedicated to it, it is compatible? I've run Wireless Network Setup Wizard as well as just plain Network Setup Wizard, and I've had them both read that it was successful connecting to my Router's network...but where do I go from there? I've never had to mess with a PC before so I'm not entirely sure. She has a modem, which can not be plugged into the phone jack at the same time as my modem otherwise we both do not have internet access, however if one of us plugs in that person is fine, so that's when I figured I'd try to get her PC into my network with my dad's laptop. Also, we have a Broadband connection setup through Verizon, if that matters at all. Does she need a modem to hook up to my network at all? If so, does that modem need to be plugged into the phone jack? If required I'll give her OS and PC specs and such, but from what I know just being on her computer she runs Windows XP as an OS and her computer is an "eMachine".

Linksys Wireless Router :: Connecting Two WRT54G2 To Extend Signal

Jan 27, 2013

I have available two Linksys Wireless-G Broadband routers (WRT54G2) which were given to me by a family member. We have been using one of the routers by itself for quite some time, but do not have adequate signal throughout our home. I decided it would be easier to design the floor plan of the house for you to see its location in relation to the rest of the house regarding walls and what not. We have HughesNet Satellite internet which is located on the roof just about the location of the modem and router in the bottom right of image.
 
What do you think would be the best location of the main router? I have read it would be best centrally located since the signal travels horizontally and vertically. I just purchased a 100' Ethernet cable since the only one we had was what the HughesNet installer provided us with which is about 4'. I was originally thinking I would route the cable from the main router to the basement where the second router would be placed since the signal down there is about 1 out of 3 bars on my iPhone. The signal upstairs in the main room (room in top middle of image) ranges from 3-5 out of 5 bars on my laptop.
 
I just wanted to place a post sooner rather than later to see what your opinions were on the location of the main router and what I have in order to increase the signal.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Wrt54g2 Not Connecting Into Wall Port

Dec 30, 2011

I just bought this router used and in working condition. I dl'd the install file from here and followed all the directions. When it gets to the plug router into wall portion, it just sits there and eventually says its hooked up wrong. However the wifi is already working (checked by logging into my kindle fire) as well as my second port which is hooked to my ps3. However my 1st port which is connected to the pc does nothing. I have swapped the cables with no luck. So I cant figure out why there is no communication between the router and my pc.

Linksys WRT54G2 V1 Router Blinking But Not Connecting?

Oct 7, 2011

I have a Linksys WRT54G2 V1 router that doesn't work. The lights all blink properly, but the internet connection part doesn't seem to be working. When connecting internet line directly to the computer, my internet works, but when connecting it to the router to the computer, it doesn't. I've tried resetting, unplugging for 30 minutes, etc. Putting in 192.168.1.1 brings up nothing on my web browser. Pinging it says connection timed out. My ipad is able to pick up the router signal as it shows the wifi bars on top, but when trying to use the internet, it says that it's not connected to the web.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Can't Get Online With WRT54G2

Mar 27, 2011

Yesterday my wireless internet suddenly stopped working. I plugged the ethernet cable directly from the modem to the computer and everything was fine, so I reset the router, reconnected it to the modem, and went to the setup page 192.168.1.1. I reconfigured the router on the setup page, leaving all previous settings the same (except I renamed the network from linksys to our own name and reconfirmed the WPA Personal password). My computer can connect to the wireless network but I can't go online.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54G2 - Connection After ISP Down

Nov 28, 2011

I have a WRT54G2 v1 (no new firmware available) with a cable-modem connection (Motorola Surfboard),  every thing works perfect but when my ISP goes down and then back up I cannot get the router work,  LAN or Wifi connection.  I have ping response to the router and I'm also able to get into the admin page.   The only way to recover is restarting the router and sometimes releasing DHCP and then Renewing it,  and the Wan connection actually gets the same IP it had before.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Cannot Connect To WRT54G2

Oct 5, 2011

Went away on vacation for a couple of weeks and when I got back my Linksys WRT54G2 has lost it's configuration.  It's showing a WiFi signal, but is no longer password protected.
 
I've tried connecting with a desktop on the same network, to 192.168.1.11, but that address is not connecting.  I tried to reach it with my iPad wirelessly, and it's giving me the login screen, but not allowing me to login.  I tried to use the reset button on the back to reset it to the factory default, but then I should be able to login with no username and the password of "admin", correct?  But that's not getting me in either.
 
I'd like to get this network password protected again and not offer a signal to all of my neighbors.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Lost It On WRT54G2

Aug 12, 2010

I have been having trouble with my wireless router for the past month and not sure what is up with it. I have recently moved and got it working for a day then the wireless did not work and i was not able to access the setup webpage either. What I ended up doing was upgrade the firmware to the newest one and it worked well for about 2 weeks but then started again and the only way it works is to reboot the router but then the next day it will not work.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54G2 Can't Get IP From PPPoE Server

Sep 19, 2010

I installed a Linksys WRT54G2 router earlier this year and set my Siemens modem from AT&T(Actually from SBC before the two merged) in bridge mode.  I did this so I could change the NAT setting on our internet, which was interfering with my Xbox.  It worked for about 4 or 5 months with little to no problems.  Recently, however, the internet has been disconnecting and when I check the status page on the router it says it is disconnected.  Sometimes clicking on the connect button will work, but usually it will say "Connecting" and keep refreshing the page for a little while without any change, then give me a message saying it couldn't get the IP from the PPPoe server.  Turning it and the Siemens modem on and off and fiddling around seems to solve the problem, but only temporarily.  Interestingly enough, I don't think it ever interferes with my Xbox.  Until recently, the Xbox was set as the highest priority on the QoS page, but I changed the computer to the highest priority and it hasn't worked.  In addition, the small, thin green light bar just below the Linksys logo on the top of the router has just recently started changing to orange occasionally

Linksys Wireless Router :: Can't Select 802.11n Anymore On Wrt54g2

Jan 4, 2012

A couple of days ago I noticed my download speed (from my own webserver) has slowed down. I checked my wireless connection and saw that the radiotype was now 802.11g instead of 802.11n, what is always has been. I looked at the Wireless configuration in the router's webbased config panel, but the only things listed there are "Disabled", "Mixed", "Wireless-G Only" and "Wireless-B Only". A scratched my head a bit, wondering wether or not I really bought an N router or just a G router. But IIRC I really bought an N router. It said so on the bill. Also, when I check the user manual, page 14 says I should be able to select "Wireless-N Only".

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54G2 Dying After 2 Hours?

Sep 13, 2011

I've needed to power-cycle my router every 2 hours. Usually it can last 2 weeks before needing to power-cycle (a process I've done for the past 2 or 3 years). This actually happened before for me a couple of months ago, but I did a firmware update along with a reset, and it looked like everything went back to normal.
 
But last Saturday I had to power-cycle it twice, then it didn't have any problems all day Sunday. But yesterday it went back to needing to be power-cycle it every 2 hours. My computer is physically connected to the router and is working perfectly no problems at all. But my parents use the wireless for their PC and laptop, and I use it for my 360, PS3, and Wii, so having to power-cycle it every 2 hours would be a pain.
 
I was wondering if this is a sign of the wireless in my router dying and in need of a new one, or is there some possible fixes I can do in order to repair it.
 
Mixed Mode
Wireless Channel 1
No WPA (Something I'm planning on fixing)

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54G2 Ver 1.5 Unstable Ping?

Dec 29, 2011

I recently found that whilst using my WIRED connections, web pages have been opening slower at times. My ping times to google.com usually is around 72-84 ms which I continue to get if I hook up the cable modem directly to the PC. As soon as I utilize the Linksys router, I start getting higher ping times anywhere from 72-300 ms. Firmware version is 1.5.01 which I recently upgraded to. I tried resetting and so on. Is there an older firmware version that works better? I'm currently running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Can't Connect To Internet Using WRT54G2 V1

Jul 8, 2011

When I connect the ethernet directly to my mac the internet works fine, but when I try to connect through my Linksys WRT54G2 V1 Wireless-G Broadband Router I can't connect to the internet. Omitting a few minor problems, my router has been working fine for the past year and a half. Recently it started giving me trouble so i have started trying a number of things to fix it, but I'm no expert in this category. The other day i tried updating the firmware which actually worked for a couple of hours, but then stopped working again.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Best Way To Reconnect WRT54G2 With New Computer

Jan 13, 2012

I will be setting up a new computer this weekend.  I presently have a WRT54G2 wireless-G router and have configured it to an IP address that works with my AT&T(Bellsouth) broadband modem (Westell).  When I reconnect it to my new computer, should I first just connect the ethernet cable to the modem as if I don't have a router (like I did for years) and then go into the instructions for setting up the router via the DVD but enter the IP address as I have it working now?

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54G2 V1 - Running Two Networks

Dec 24, 2011

I've gone through a couple modems, only possible reason I can think this is happening, but I don't know for sure if it could be a factor. Anyway, it seems my router is running two... networks? I've reset my router, set up my wireless network, configure the SSID name, password lock it, but there still appears to be a "Linksys" network running with no password. I'm afraid it's being used by someone else, seeing as it's free wifi. I've reset my router a couple times and set up my wifi and this linksys still appears to be running. The reason why I feel it's mine is because one night our net went out and when my brother attempted to log onto the linksys, its net wasn't working either. When our net came back up, the linksys was running with working net once more. It seems like too much coincidence to not be true. I'm really not sure what is causing this and I've never experienced this before.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Random Disconnections For Wrt54g2 V1?

Jun 12, 2012

this had happened for a few months and i did not really mind until the disconnections worsen. usually when i power on the router and started using the internet, it will disconnect randomly once. my wireless SSID will disappear and lost connection. and no matter how i refresh the SSID still won't broadcast.
 
the only way to get back internet access is to re-power on the router, so the SSID will be broadcasted again.
 
my wrt54g2 V1 router had recently upgrade to the latest firmware version,1.0.04.  but still disconnects as usual. however the disconnections only happens once, after u re-power on the router, you will not disconnect again.
 
but after turning off my laptop, and use it again after few hours, the same thing will happen again, a random disconnection and got to re-power on the router.
