Hello,
I have a new Linksys router WRT54gs and a new Dell laptop.
The router works well with the cable attached but when I go to wireless
I get a strong signal but unable to get on the internet with WEP security.
With security disabled the wireless works fine. But will not connect to the
internet with WEP security on. I tried to use the CD install disk that comes
with the router but ir does not help.
Any help would be apreciated

To get through the username & password problem, I just used "admin" (without the quotes) for both and it logged me in so I could change my router settings.

Hello Shashank!

My warranty with Linksys has expired and Im trying to re-setup my router through my Mac laptop with the web based setup page and when I change the SSID name and click save settings it says: "Safari can’t open the page “http://192.168.1.1/WBasic.tri” because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. This sometimes occurs when the server is busy. Wait for a few minutes, and then try again."

I've tried numerous times and also tried to change the password and nothing. Please I need some help because my neighbors are using my network and the signal strength is very slow.

Your help would be so much appreciated! :(

I just fixed one.

OLD firmware is not compatible with Vista.

updated firmware and everything is fine.

Do a back to default reset - hold reset button in for at least 30 sec.

Connect to it wired

Log in and find firmware update function
Point to new firmware file and go.

reconfigure with security

good to go.

ok heres what you do go to your main pc if you have one and open internet then type in 192.168.1.1 ON YOUR ADDRESS BAR a window should pop up then put in admin on both lines it should redirect you to a wesite click on wireless then security your wep pass should be right there and enter it on your laptop connection

"type in 192.168.1.1 ON YOUR ADDRESS BAR a window should pop up then put in admin on both lines"

This doesn't work for me. I try to type admin for both lines and it keeps rejecting it. I've tried a whole bunch of other possible things too. I'm really stuck on this part.

This is exactely where I am stuck too. I have tried admin in both user name and password and just password. Neither work. I try several attempts then receive an error. I can't get to the Linksys setup screen. Is there a reason for this or some way to get around the problem?
