Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54G Accessing A Drive On Another Computer

Aug 22, 2011

I am using a LinkSys Model: WRT54G Version: 6 wireless router configured to use WEP.I have two computers, the main desktop and a laptop for mobile operation.How do I configure the LinkSys to allow the laptop to access a external (mapped) USB drive on the desktop?
 
The laptop can access the mapped drive on the desktop when it is hardwired to the LinkSys (i.e., not wireless) but I cannot find a reference in the Pdf manual or online on how to access the drive on the desktop from the laptop when the laptop is connected via the WiFi.The desktop is running XpSp3 and the laptop is Vista.A second and more important question is should I do this. Can the accessing of the drive via the WiFi be done with adequate security. I would rather err on the side of caution.

Computer Not Accessing Linksys WRT54G Router After New XP Install?

Apr 4, 2012

I have a Linksys WRT54G to which 2 computers are connected of which one has no problems at all.The other computer just had its hard drive replaced and Windows XP Pro SP1 installed on the new hard drive. With the new operating system, I cannot get the computer to access the router. The connection status reports that the network device is working but IPCONFIG /ALL reports nothing (blank). The NIC is onboard the motherboard (ASUS P5LP-LE). I have swapped out cable ports at the router and tried a different cable to the faulty computer to no avail. If I had a spare NIC I would already have tried that too. FYI, it was working without problems prior to the hard drive crash that prompted the new drive and OS install.I tried a wireless USB network interface (Zonet ZEW2508) and the computer also reports it working. However, the network icon continually cycles between connected and unavailable, about 6 seconds connected and 1 second unavailable. IPCONFIG also reports blank on this.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Accessing Files On Attached Hard Drive To EA4500

Sep 2, 2012

I have mapped the attached hard drive to my EA4500 on my PC and can access folders and files on my LAN PC.  However, when I come in through the Internet via an iOS device, I can see folders but when I try to enter the folder, all I get is a message that displays "|Folder|Enter Into Folder|Select|.  There is no click-through capability other than "Return to Upper Folder", which takes me back to folders.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54G Accessing Websites?

Apr 8, 2012

I use a WRT54G wireless router connected to Mac. All of a sudden, I became unable to access certain websites on my iMac, such as Facebook and Apple homepages. But i can access Yahoo website. I tried resetting my linksys setup but it doesnt solve the problem. When i access my iphone via wifi at home, i am also unable to go into app store, facebook app, and emails with images won't load. I also cannot link my iphone to itunes on my iMac. What happens on my computer when I surf the internet is that the page just loads halfway and stop "responding". But my imac airport says that my internet connection is fine, however my access has become very "restricted".

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT610N Network Drive Can't Be Accessed By Any Computer

Feb 27, 2013

I have a WRT610N v2 with current firmware.  The hard drive is a Western Digital Elements formatted to NTFS and already has music and photos so that other computers in the house can view them. This setup was done awhile back, maybe even a year ago.
 
Anyway, I can map the network drive and see everything there, but then after awhile (minutes - maybe 10) of idle time, the network drive can't be accessed by any computer, either as the mapped drive (W or by clicking the WRT610N in the network tree. It's like it goes to sleep and can't be awakened by activity.
 
I have searched the forums here and at WD but haven't found a solution or even this exact problem.  I did find a utility on the WD site that is supposed to fix/eliminate the short idle time, but it didn't seem to work.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Wrt54g Not Connecting To Computer

May 8, 2012

It constantly disconnecting and wouldn't stay connected for a long period of time, so I tried messing with the settings and it no longer connects to the internet. It tells me that the settings for this router is not compatible for the computer settings. I have reset the router to its factory settings, restarted the computer, restarted the router but nothing changed. I have tried plugging my computer to the router via ethernet cord and typing in 192.168.1.1 in the address field of Internet explorer and nothing comes up. I also forgot the password to the router!

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54G - Computer Sees Network But Can't Connect

Aug 28, 2011

So I have a WRT54G router since a couple of years now.  Laptop (Win7 64bit), ipod, ipad, phones can connect to it without a problem, but new computer (Win7 64bit) can't.  I can connect the PC via ethernet without a problem though.
 
I powercycled my devices, I changed broadcasting options off and then back on, changed my security mode, tried the MAC Cloning (after doing the MAC Cloning, I lost internet connectivity even through ethernet), resetted my security settings, changed SSID, I'm broadcasting through channel 11 2.462.  I also tried deleting the HomeGroup
 
Important fact: the network is in the list of available wireless network, but Signal Strength is No Signal and I can't connect to it. My network adapter is ASUS 802.11n Wireless LAN Card, drivers are up to date. I've upgraded to the latest router firmware.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54G - See Signal But Can't Connect With Computer Or Iphones?

Oct 17, 2011

I am having problems connecting to my wireless internet.  We were getting a poor signal so we moved our router to our living room where we always are, but now we can't connect.  We tried resetting everything, turned on and off several times.  Went to the linksys wireless set up page, changed SSID and password.  Still can't connect with the computer or our iphones.  It shows our SSID is there but won't connect.  My internet when plug directly to the computer works fine (I am using it now).  My computer can connect to the router Linksys WRT54G, we just can't get it to connect to the wireless.

Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54G To Transfer Admin Control Panel From Old Computer

Dec 30, 2011

When I first installed my wireless router a few years ago, I did it with my old computer which has Windows XP as its operating system.  It is on this computer that the Linksys "admin control panel" is installed, which allows me see what computers are connected through the router, see what the settings of the router are, etc. I recently purchased a new computer which has Windows 7 as the operating system.  As I transfer programs and documents from my old computer to my new computer, I have run into the problem of how to transfer the Linksys "admin control panel" from my old computer to my new computer. The original installation CD for Linksys won't work with Windows 7 so I don't even have that as a starting point.  I tried going to the web-based admin site, but can't access it from either computer.

Accessing NAS Drive Via USB Port On TV?

Jan 10, 2012

Any way to enable the USB port of a TV to access video files held on a NAS drive?

My aim is to access the drive via wifi or ethernet.

Presumably it would need to present the drive as a mass storage device to the TV's USB port since that's basically what the port picks up.

The TV does not support DLNA and I'm trying to avoid having to buy a separate media player e.g. WD Live TV box.

Block Wired Computer From Accessing Internet Through Router?

Feb 9, 2011

how to block a user from using the internet when they plug their computer into a router. My roommate has refused to pay her share of the internet and, being a college student, I don't have enough money where I feel generous enough to let her have free internet after stiffing me. Basically, I have 2 routers at the moment (hoping to fix this soon): my Qwest modem works as a router but I also have a Linksys router connected to it. The only phone jack is in her room so I have no way of stopping her from plugging her computer straight into the modem and/or router. I've configured the wireless so that she would be unable to access the, wirelessly but I'd like to know how to prevent her accessing the internet when she plugs her computer directly into either component.

Accessing Network Drive From Behind Sub-network Router?

Jun 17, 2011

I am connecting the router to a corporate network that assigns "real" IP to it (DHCP). Then I have 3 computers connecting to this router (local IP 192.168.1.2-4).Assuming I want to access a network drive named "ADrive" (on the same corporate LAN) from any of those 3 PCs, how do I do it? ("\ADrive" does not work, neither does replacing the network drive name with its IP, cannot ping either - it's like I'm on a totally separate network).

Linksys WRT54G / LAN Not Working Except For One Computer?

Aug 26, 2011

Three computers (two laptops - both XP, one desktop - XP) suddenly couldn't access the Internet through LAN (the Local Area Connection icon always stays disconnected with the three computers) after working perfectly fine for months. The thing is one desktop computer - XP still can connect through LAN and the wireless connection is still working. So I don't know if the problem is with the computers who can't connect through LAN or the router itself, a LINKSYS WRT54G.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Accessing FTP Using EA4500 Storage?

Jul 3, 2012

I have a 1TB Western Digital drive connected to my home EA4500 router. Connecting to media server using SMB protocol (192.168.1.1) works fine. I am moving abroad for an extended amount of time, though, so I would also like to connect to this USB drive using FTP. Using the new Cisco Connect Cloud interface, I have enabled FTP sharing for the USB storage device with port 21 and using standard UTF-8 encoding. Whenever I try to connect to the FTP server using my router login credentials, I get the following error message:"There was a problem connecting to the server xx.xxx.xxx.xx. This file server will not allow any additional users to log on. Try to connect again later"

Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200 / 54G - Accessing LG NAS From Outside Of Home

Oct 3, 2011

I was running a Linksys cable modem and 54G with dd-wrt.  I had an LG NAS hooked up and everything was working great.  I recently upgraded to the Motorola SB6120 and the Linksys E4200.  I can not access my LG NAS from outside of my network now.  UPnP is enabled, port forwarding is enabled, but I must be missing some other setting that is blocking me from accessing it from work for example.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Accessing Befw11s4v4 With E4200 Active

Dec 12, 2011

I have a Motorola cable modem with 8 port switch connected to it. I also have E4200 and BEFW11s4v4 connected to the switch. I  used  BEFW's ports mainly to connect my direct box and blu-ray DVD player to the internet in a different room.  I  noticed  a pretty good signal coming from  befw11s4v4. I would like to turn it off or use this wifi b, but I forgot the passphrase to it and  I can't install  befw11s4v4 with E4200 active. (192.168.1.1 is taken by e4200). How do I get to it  (befw11s4v4)?  I don't want to reset  befw11s4v4 because that would make its WiFi unsecured. I can use a laptop to install befw11s4v4 and change its IP to 192.168.2.1 for example, but I would like to be able to access both (E4200 and befw11s4v4)  from my desktop PC.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Weird Random Delay Accessing Websites With E4200?

Jul 25, 2012

I just got an e4200 refurbed router, and it's been working great except for one problem I'm having. I have Comcast cable with Ubee D3.0 modem. For some reason, there will be a random 4-8 second delay when going to certain websites. While this normally wouldn't be a problem, it occurs quite frequently with Google.com and we definitely can't have that. I've updated to latest firmware. Ran ping test to find optimal MTU, went with 1500. To be sure it isn't a DNS issue, tried accessing Google by IP addy and getting the same delay. The delay seems to occasionally occur with Facebook as well, at one point I couldn't even get to Facebook and had to release/renew ipconfig. I have Mac address cloned if that makes a difference.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E1550 USB Drive Not Seen By PS3

Mar 30, 2012

I've read the various threads on here and tried all the fixes suggested and I still cannot get my PS3 to "see" the USB drive I've attached to my router.I can see it and access the files from a connected computer, but not the PS3.I've tried creating a share with one directory and sharing the entire partition with no luck. I've enabled all the FTP options with no luck. UPNP is enabled. I've tried setting up the guest account with no luck.I've tried restarting, unplugging with no luck either. I also went into the USB drive and reformatted and started all over again.My PS3 can easily see the other computers on the network, but I would like to use the USB port on the router to not have to have a computer running to stream music.Is there another menu location on the PS3 I should be using to locate the USB? Currently I just look under music or video and the other computers are there. Just not the USB.
