Linksys Wireless Router :: Internet Connection No Longer Working With WRT54G?

Sep 28, 2011

I have had a WRT54G V3 router working successfully for a number of years now with a couple wireless PCs through a cable modem with Comcast as my ISP.  All of a sudden yesterday, neither PC could access the internet.  No changes had been made to the router.
 
I contacted Comcast and they of course had me hard-wire one of my PCs into the cable modem.  That worked and I was able to access the internet.  However, when I tried to put the router back in place (in either a wired or wireless fashion), I could not access the internet.
 
I've tried following the online Linksys troubleshooting document ion.  The lights that should be lit on the router are lit.  I can access the router setup web page which shows the settings still intact.  I've tried going through the power sequencing to no avail.  Comcast says my router is the culprit of my problem, but I don't know why it would all of a sudden stop working.  My wireless printer still works so it detects a signal and my PC shows it's connected, but no internet access is possible.
 
What do I need to do?  Are there any other diagnostic tools available?  I'm out-of-warranty.

Networking :: After Power Outage Router No Longer Working WRT54G

Feb 10, 2011

Two days ago there was a quick power outage here, just one of those flicks off flicks back on deals, but when it came back on I noticed my internet wasn't working. Couldn't figure out what the deal was so after trying a few other things I ended up eliminating my Linksys WRT54G router and just using my DSL modem. Internet works fine.

Now, I've always been kind of sketchy on networking stuff, but I don't think there router is broken I just think it's been reset or something and now I don't know what setting I need to change to get it back to working order.

Here's the kicker though. I had the DSL modem in bridge mode and the router handling traffic before but I had a huge issue with that where my Steam would only download at 10-15 KB/s. Not only that but it would take forever to login and crash constantly. This would happen on my brother's computer too, which is on the same network. I could never figure out how to fix it as forwarding ports had no effect and every other fix I could think of amounted to nothing as well. Hell, I even did a fresh install to no avail.

Now going straight into the modem my Steam is downloading at full speed and there's no slow login or crashing issues. The thing that boggles my mind though is that more than once before I tried doing this very same thing, going straight into the modem, and it didn't fix the problem.

Ideally I want to get the router back up and running and keep my Steam in full working order, essentially to have my cake and eat it too, but the priority is to get the router back up in running as I have another PC on this network, plus a 360, a PC, a wireless printer, and two Wii's.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54G - Getting Connection And Proper Working?

Sep 8, 2012

I have 2 laptops in my home, I had no problem getting one to connect to the internet. The second one I'm having trouble connecting, I am wireless, I didn't have a problem at my old house with another laptop connecting to the internet with this router. I'm trying to save myself some money by not going through my wireless company, and end up having to get their router, which I already have their modem.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54G Wired Connection Stopped Working?

Jun 24, 2012

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.

Linksys Wireless Router :: System No Longer Sees WRT54G

Dec 29, 2011

I mistakenly downloaded and installed version 4 firmware when i should have installed version 2.  My system (windows ver. 7) no longer sees the wireless router (WRT54G).  I no longer have the install CD and the version 2 firmware does not seem to be available on the website.  Is my router now dead in the water?

Linksys Wireless Router :: Losing Internet Connection To WRT54G?

Jul 12, 2011

I have to reboot my router a couple of times per day because I lose WAN access.  This occurs with both the wireless and ethernet connections.  Basically, I see that I'm connected to the router, but have a self-assigned IP.  Power cycling the router does the trick.  I never had this problem before, so I'm wondering what's up.  The firmware has long been up to date.  Router version is 8.0.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54G Keeps Dropping Internet Connection?

Aug 1, 2012

Wired connection to the router works fine. But it drops all the wireless devices (PC, phone, tablet) multiple times each day, sometimes only 30-60 minutes after reconnecting. Power cycling the router "fixes" the router and allows reconnection. There are 2 topics in the FAQ section that looked good: Getting poor or no signal from a wireless routerTop causes of dropping wireless connection on a Linksys routerbut clicking on those does not bring up anything.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54G V8 Drops Internet Connection?

Sep 8, 2011

Wired computer runs XP sp3.  Wireless runs Ubuntu 10.04.  Hooked to Embarq DSL modem. Setup worked flawlessly for a year or more.  Now the router is sporadically dropping the internet connection for both PCs. I haven't discovered how to guarantee an immediate reconnection so the desktop is now connected directly to the modem.  The modem is apparently stable as I'm not losing the internet connection.  When the router is in the circuit, the internet connection may or may not appear shortly.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54G Only Local Connection No Internet Access

Jun 23, 2012

I have some issue with internet connection and Router WRT54G. There is always "Local Connection" but no internet access. I checked that at two different laptops. One with Windows Vista and the other one with Windows XP. Both the same problem. There is a wireless connection with excellent signal strength but no internet access. I added a screen shut to see the Router setting. If more needed I will add more.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54G Doesn't Show Connection To Internet

Oct 19, 2011

We have a old Router and a new one(the Lynksys). The old one had problems with the Wifi so we bought this one. So when we connect This Router to the Modem it doesn't show connection to the internet. (The Setup fails because of this).But with the old one it does connect to the internet. So either my modem doesn't detect the new router or vice versa. So I am not sure why its not working since on the old one it works fine.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E1200 No Longer Working After Verizon Modem

Jun 24, 2012

I have a new Linksys E2100 that was working well with an old Verizon modem. Then recently that modem gave up the ghost and I was issued another one (Westel Model 6100G). I have no problems with internet connectivity when connecting directly from my harddrive to the Verizon modem. I am also not having trouble connecting to the Linksys routher as I am able to see my wireless connection with no problem. However, when I try to set up the connnection with the E2100 in the loop (yes, it's connected correctly) I no longer have internet access.
 
I tried de-installing and re-installing the Linksys software (thinking maybe there was some new configuration that would be auto-detected with a new set-up), but this didn't work. I suspect that if the problem is with my Linksys router and not with my Verizon modem that there might be something that could be done to reconfigure something manually but I do not know enough about connections and wireless systems to trust myself not to mess something up.
 
At this point I'm assuming it's a Linksys issue since I know that my Verizon modem can connect me to the internet, so works properly. Is there some known incompatibility with this Linksys model and the Westell 6100G modem?

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54g On Mac PowerPC G5 Not Working?

Sep 22, 2011

Running Comcast Business Class in my restaurant. I have a Mac Pro PowerPC G5 tower running OSX: 10.5.8. The Comcast guy hooked everything up along with the WRT54g i found in the basement (previous owner). Everything worked well, he programed the router through his internet pad; never touched my Mac.  All of a sudden my power outlet in which my modem and router are connected reset themselves. I reset them back on, however, my router Never worked again. My mac is directly connected to my modem, not router. I have it hooked up on LAN #4 (light turns on), however, after the outlet reset, the router wont even show up on my Modem's LAN. I cant open it open it on my browser, 192.168.0.1, or 1.1. I try the 30-30-30 reset, nothing. While looking for my own remedy, i think i downloaded the new firmware to my mac, nothing happened.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54g V3 Wi-Fi Stopped Working?

Feb 2, 2012

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?

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54G Just Stopped Working?

Oct 19, 2007

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.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54G - Password Not Working?

Apr 24, 2011

I have  a Lynksys WRT54G wireless router.  It works just fine until I try to put a password on it.  I go through the basic steps, it talkes all my information and tells me everything is good.  I try to sign on the internet and it tells me my password is invalid....and YES Im sure its the right password I entered.  I went to http://192.168.1.1/wireless.htm and did all the necessary instructions, and still, it doesn't work. I can change my network name and it works.  As long as I leave it unprotected, everything works fine, but when I add the password, it tells me its invalid.  I even used 123456 so as to make sure it was the right one.

Linksys Wireless Router :: HR21-700 Shows A Working Connection To Both Network And Internet

Nov 7, 2011

I'm having a networking issue that I cannot resolve.My DirecTV HD DVR receiver (HR21-700) shows a working connection to both my network and internet. However, the STB services port (range of 27161-27192) will not connect through my router (linksys E4200) automatically or manually (Dtv error code 301).  By connecting the receiver directly to my modem, the STB services port will connect as it should.  I also have a XB360 (LAN), BluRay Player (LAN), two PCs, & Wireless Bridge connected with absolutely no issues.  Each are manually configured with a static IP and the proper ports forwarded.I am STUMPED and FRUSTRATED to say the least.Other than the manual setup of these devices, my networking knowledge is not very broad.Are there any settings or configurations that I may be overlooking?The uPnP is enabled, NAT is enabled, and all firewalls are turned off.

Linksys Wireless Router :: No Longer Getting Internet Over E2500?

Aug 25, 2011

My E2500 was working great for the past 3 months, and now it seems to be broken since I cannot access the internet anymore. I can connect to the router via wireless or wired at 192.168.1.1 and play with all the settings. On the status page, I have entries for Internet IP Address, Default Gateway, DNS1, and DNS2 as though I was connected fine to my DSL modem.If I connect my computer to my DSL modem then I can access the internet perfectly fine, so I know the modem is working. However, if I connect the E2500 to the modem, and then my macbook to the E2500 then I cannot access anything other than the router config pages. I have also tried, from the router admin page, to ping "www.yahoo.com" and "8.8.8.8" to no avail.
 
I have tried without success:

1. Renewing IP address from the router status page.

2. Cycling the power on the modem.

3. Rebooting the router.

4. Unplugging the power from both the modem and the router for 10 minutes and reconnecting it.

5. Resetting the router by holding down the reset button for 30s.

6. Using a different computer.

7. Turning off the firewall.

8. Reinstalling the firmware (1.0.01 build 3  May 6, 2011)

Now it won't work. I've tried reinstalling the driver and the device just blinks in the "Devices and Printers" control panel. I removed it again and it was very hot to the touch after only being in the port for about a minute.
