Linksys Wireless Router :: WRT54GL Network Is Unreachable
Dec 14, 2012
I have used this WRT54gl for several years and it's performed flawlessly both wireless and wired. Recently I've extended the reach of my home network by adding a second WRT54g cabled to the network. I also added another PC in a nearby home with a wireless dongle attachment to the network. In setting all this up I've just noticed that the 'Traceroute' and 'Ping' functions in the original WRT54gl do not work. That is, when in the Administration, Diagnostics window and select either function I get a 'Network is unreachable' message instead of the ping/traceroute information.
All other functions on the network seem to work fine, ie..., I can ping the router from anywhere. Both wireless and ethernet connections work fine through it. The newer WRT54G addition to the lan is setup identical and the ping/ trace router work fine with it.Both routers have DHCP disabled. My modem handles it.
I have a 16mbps (megabits) cable modem that is connected to WRT54GL. Desktop is located next to router and is connected with a cable, Laptop is connected on Wi-Fi. Both PCs achieve maximum speed when downloading from the internet but when I try to copy something from one PC to another over the local network I get stuck on max 2.5-3MBps (megabytes).
I have two WRT54GL wireless routers. I have a computer and printer in my office connected to one of them. I'd like to add a computer and printer back in the shop to my network without using a wired connection. Can I use the 2nd wirelss router so that all computers and printers are on one network?
With my old netgear router I could see and share files on my kitchen PC from the office PC but with the WRT54GL I can't. I have a printer with a static IP that both PC's can see.
I have DSL with a Comtrend router/wifi (WIFI1). I would like to connect the WRT54GL to the physical network and have it create a separate wifi network (WIFI2), so my laptop will connect to WIFI2, get passed to the LAN and on to the Internet. Cant make this work - tried setting up the WRT for DHCP server, DHCP pass through (to the comtrend), and the best I can do is get connected to WIFI2 and have access to the LAN but not the Internet. Ultimately I want to put a high gain antenna on the WRT to make it reach another building about 400' away and do away with comtrends horrible WIFI, but I cant get to first base.
I have been using the Wireless G broadband router WRT54GL for about a year now. Recently we bought HP laserjet network printer which is connected to the domain network with the ip range of 10.1.1.1 which is the same network linksys router is connected to. Since router always lease different range of ip (192.168.1.1) then all computers connected through router cannot print because they are in different network/ip range.is there a way allow wireless user to print to the same printer regardless of the ip difference?
I just got my fathers old linksys WRT54GL. I Have resat everything, and made my own name, password etc.When i try to connecet, i can get on the network, but there's no internet connection. Even when i put an ethernet cable between, it does the same. i have internet connection when i connect directly to the router though.
How can I see network rate of other computers connected to my WRT54GL wireless router?I have admin password and I want to see how much bytes/sec received and sent from all the computers connected to the router.
My parents for the last few years have discussed a desire to be able to get internet access out at their pond. The pond is located about 200 feet or so from the house. Roughly between the house and pond is our barn. I would like to set up an outdoor network that would give them access to the internet at these ranges.
Currently, we have a linksys WRT54GL in the house. My plan was to add an additional WRT54GL in our garage as well as a wireless expander in our barn (I was considering the EnGenius ERB9250). Would the WRT54GL have enough range to reach the barn, and would a repeater be capable of reproducing the signal?
If not, do you have any other reccomendations as to how I might achieve this (without reaching too deep into my pockets)?
I've recently bought a WRT54GL router, and I`m having some problems with it. The original firmware the router came with had a bug, and couldn`t even connect to a PPPOE network. I downloaded the latest firmware version for this model (4.30.14 build 5, Oct. 26, 2009). Now it can connect to PPPOE but the broadband speed is limited to ~ 30Mbits/s. My ISP normally provides a download speed up to 80-90MBits/s, and if I bypass the router, and connect the internet cable directly to my PC, it works.
The QoS is disabled, so this can`t be the problem, but I searched the internet, and I found that it can be because the router`s CPU is too slow and can`t handle connections up to 80-90Mbit/s download speed, but this sounds a little bit weird to me.Did any of you gus run into this problem? Is it a hardware problem, or a software one? Maybe there`s something I need to set up in the admin interface?
Once in a while, I lose Internet connection and at the same time cannot reach my Siemens Speetstream 4100b DSL modem's setup page 192.168.0.1 ; it happened again this morning (from both wired and wirelessy connected computers). When I go to the router's setup page 192.168.1.1 , it would usually in that situation show that the router has not acquired the Internet IP Address; I power-recycle (a few times) both modem and router and eventually the router reports that it has acquired the Internet IP Address, but there is still no Internet, and the DSL modem's setup page 192.168.0.1 is unreacheable.The situation usually self-resolves only in an hour or so after the time the router has acquired the Internet IP Address: Internet starts working, and the DSL modem's setup page 192.168.0.1 becomes reacheable.
I have different types of network clients connecting to both bands of router (5 ghz and 2.4 ghz), and both bands set to WPA2 only. Everything has been set up and working for the past year with no problems.
Suddenly this morning, none of the 2.4 ghz clients can connect and get authenticated. When I attempt to ping them from a Windows 7 desktop connected by a LAN cable, I get Destination Host Unreachable.
The 5 ghz clients are fine and have had no problems. I tested this with the New iPad connected to the 5 ghz band.
Rebooted the E3000 router and the Comcast cable modem, then installed the newest firmware on the E3000 using the web access portal at 192.168.1.1, and still not working.
Changed the WPA2 Personal security mode for the 2.4 ghz band to WPA2 Personal/WPA Mixed Mode, and now all the clients are connected and authenticated and working OK, albeit slower.
What happened? And how can I fix this so I can change the security mode for the 2.4 ghz band back to WPA2 Personal?
P.S. The types of clients that connect to the 2.4 ghz band are 2 Windows 7 desktops, a Windows 7 laptop, and 5 Cisco Wireless N Internet Home Monitoring Cameras. The camera feeds have slowed down considerably using this Mixed mode.
I've tried everything that has been posted so far except for opening up the router itself which I will refuse to do.- Getting = Host Unreachable 192.168.1.20 (I am using 192.168.1.1 as the gateway)- No ping whatsoever even when turning on the router over and over.
I attempted to upgrade the firmware on the WRT54G2 V1 (the newer, slim black model) but it failed. I let the upgrade run for about 10 minutes and it just sat there and link to router disconnected I run ping for 192.168.1.1 but response is "DESTINATION HOST UNREACHABLE". The router is now completely unusable and the ALL LAN ports lights are ON and Internet light is also ON.
I have an AirPort Express set up as my router, and that works fine and is the main network that I use. I also have a Linksys WRT54GL that is wired to a printer.Currently, when I want to print from my computer, I have to manually connect to the Linksys network, which is a pain. I would like to wirelessly connect the Linksys to my main network, so I can print even when connected to my Airport Express.Does that mean that I have to configure the Linksys as an access point? A bridge? Something else? How do I do that?
Well one day i went onto my gaming PC and started playing, it randomly restarted and did some random windows check while starting. Then when i finally logged on i had no internet connection, my computer didnt sense there being a cable plugged in (Wired connection. The orange light wasn't on) So i figured i should just reinstall windows anyway (Blue screens, ect) After i reinstall i have the same issues. I have moved it to a different room and still the same thing. If i can't fix it then i plan to just buy a USB wireless but i would like to see what others think what i should do before i go making hasty decisions.
The computer say "Windows could not find a driver for your network adapter" I have tried many things i have found on this forum and nothing. So maybe a link to a driver? my Router is a Linksys WRT54GL and has always worked.
I have both a Sony XBR52HX909 and a Sony BDP-S580 connected to my router (WRT54GL)via ethernet. When I try to connect to the internet, both show the wired connection as good but neither can connect to the internet. The BDP-S580 also has wireless connectivity, but it can’t connect to the internet wirelessly. I have two desktop computers connected via ethernet and two laptops connected wirelessly to the same router and all have internet connectivity. I have tried the “auto” settings on the TV and Blu-Ray player and also tried entering the network information in manually. I still can’t connect to the internet.
Last week suddenly my internet connection failed. I have tried several times to establish the wireless internet connection. Everytime when i tried to do this, i get the message 'can not get IP address'. Already tried to upgrade the firmware but still same message appears.
I want to use my router to boost the signal to the 2nd floor of my house, and Im having some problems.When I connect my router to the web application to change restore it to manufaturer setting the router keeps broadcasting my old SSID. The laptops in the house pick up that signal. I want to reset my router so it can broadcast my new network.
I have Wireless-G Broadband router Model WRT54GL. Everything is all setup correct but consoles and handhelds can't get the IP address even if there connected to the router. It isn't intill I turn off and then it back on does it get the ip address.
I'm trying to use a WRT54GL with U-Verse. The problem is that the router does not get a connection to the modem. It can't ping the modem, and it doesn't show up on on the list of devices connected to the modem. DHCP assigns an IP address of 127.0.0.1, which is outside the range of the modem [192.168.1.1 ... 192.168.1.253]. The router is also showing a default gateway of 0.0.0.0, and a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. (And yes, I have released and renewed the lease, rebooted the modem, and reconnected the modem.) The router WAN side is set to DHCP, and the operating mode was changed from gateway to router (the gateway setting doesn't work either, for that matter).
I currently own a LinkSys-WRT54GL 802.11a/b/g wireless router, and my ISP is Comcast Cable providing me with 15 Mbps (that's bits per second, I believe) download speed. I am wondering if there is any benefit with using an 802.11n wireless router to access the Internet? The maximum theoretical speed of the WRT54GL router is 54 Mbps (802.11g), which is faster than the 15 Mbps provided by my ISP.
I know that 802.11n has a max bandwidth of 300 Mbps, and it would work for intra- house transfers, such as streaming video from one computer to another.
But is there any benefit to 802.11n for Internet activity, such as web browsing, gaming, and streaming video from Netflix.
I had configured the AAA server on CoovaAP and was able to access the internet.I had configured the user name and password as a "testuser" and "password" respectively. With that user id i used to access the Coova AP router and internet.Now i want restore the WRT54GL firmware on Lynksys router. But with the used id and password which i had configured the router is not at all accessible. So i did 30-30-30 reset on the router 2-3 times. Now i can see openwrt login page with 192.168.1.1 IP address. It is asking for user id and password. I tried all the combinations of user id and password, but no luck. I browsed some link on the internet and some people have recommended that default user id as a "root" and blank password. But with that also the router is not accessible. I cant to do much on the router untill i will log in to router. I have spent lot of time on this. How to restore back the original WRAT54GL firmware on my router. Anyhow i want WRAT54GL firmware on Lynksys router
I recently had to unplug my Linksys WRT54GL wireless router when doing some rearranging and now i'm unable to get a internet connection. I've confirmed the modem is actually working by connecting my laptop directly (which worked), but when I connect the Linksys WRT54GL wireless router to my modem the internet connection goes away. The connection is lost when connected via wireless and hardwired to one of the back ports. I've tried resetting the modem, router and computer and read every forum out there trying to find something, but i'm still stuck.
I have a problem with my linksys WRT54GL router. I entered here [URL] and i set it up, i can connect to internet on my PC and wireless works great but i can't set wireless password and name. When i go to the wireless tab, i write the new name but when i hit seve setting i get disconnected from internet. I try to go to status and click on Connect tab, when is connected internet works but the name and the password of the wireless that i set earlier is reset to default. What do i have to do to set name and password and have internet at the same time.
I would like to connect my old WRT54G3G router to my new WRT54GL (connect to dsl modem) and have wireless on both activated.I have set both on different channels with same SSID and same passwords on WPA2 Personal AES.I have also made the network IP different WRT54G3G 192.168.0.99 and WRT54GL 192.168.0.98.I have also deactivated network DHCP on 192.168.0.99. and Operating mode to router and still not working.
I am using a WRT54GL for the free wifi service at my business. Is there any way to set it so that when someone accesses the internet they are directed to my business home page first?
I want to use a linksys router with a 3com switch. 3Com model 3CGSU08A.i have two routers to choose from a E2000 and a WRT54GL which one is better and settings to use.
We have received from a customer of us an WRT54GL box configured with a Coova software. This Wifi router was supposed to be a Wifi hotspot, but was not configured by us. This box is able, on startup, to get an IP by DHCP, to touch a remote Radius server, and so on (we "tcpdump" the Internet traffic, and we saw DNS requests, radius requests, ...)...
But, we are unable to connect to this box,by SSH or by HTTP, either by plug-in PC to the Internet RJ45 or the LAN RJ45. It has no IP as 192.168.1.1. Instead, it was configured to have 192.168.1.1 as gateway.
Of course, we have no doc on previous install, but only the admin/root password for SSH.We are afraid to lose the config (coova, ...) if we perform a hard reset.What is the best way for connecting on this box ?
Why this router have DHCP server and Port forwarding features and many LAN ports, but does not have DHCP reserve feature? If I can plug many computers, each one get own IP address, but how I can't fix it? I need to port forwarding of course, but if lease time ended, next time my computer got other IP address, so I need to reconfigure port forwarding each time! Of course I can do it, but try to explain it for your wife? Yes, I can use static IP addresses, but for what this box have DHCP server?
I accidentally pressed the front panel button labeled "Cisco Systems" on my WRT54GL wireless router. The button turned to a flashing white which I understand means that it entered SecureEasySetup mode. I then power cycled the router and the front panel button turned back to solid orange. However, now the "WLAN" lamp flashes a lot more often than before even when there are no wireless clients connected. It doesn't seem to be affecting connectivity or performance of my Ethernet connected devices or wireless connected devices. I re-entered my SSID and security key. That didn't curtail the increased flashing of the WLAN lamp. I also tried pressing the front panel button for 5 seconds. This only cleared my wireless settings.
I'm using a WRT54GL(4.30.14) Router with a Charter Cable Modem running 5 computers on the network with 1 being wired and the rest are wireless. When my family comes over they can connect with their iPads and laptops but for some reason I can not get this iPhone 4G to connect. We put in the password and it says unable to connect. Are there any special settings that need to be made to the router to let the IPhone connect?
