Hello,

I've had my Linksys wrt54g wireless router for 8 months now, and It's been working beautifully. I bought a new ethernet cable for a new computer I am hooking up to it, and the second I plugged that cable in, the whole thing stopped working. My laptop sees a signal, Excellent strength, and it connects, but the internet will not work. Also, using any of the ports in back fail to produce any internet at all. I can plug my computer in directly from the modem and it will work, but the second I hook it up to my router, It doesn't work at all. I've never touched any of my settings on my router (192.168.1.1), and I am hoping that it isnt fried. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Dan

1. Try standard reboot procedure:
-turn off: computer, router,modem
- wait 3 min
- turn on modem, wait, router, wait, computer

2. if internet is not ok, ping router from computer (ping 192.168.1.1 from the DOS screen)

3. If ping is ok, clone MAC, reboot with 20 min delay instead of 3

Hello,

I am having a problem with getting internet connection after connecting my Linksys WRT54g router to my AT&T DSL/Cable modem. I went through the entire setup process with no problem and then I received the message that the router was unable to connect to the internet. From reading some of the other issues, I'm wondering if my WEP security could be the problem. Please advise. Thanks

Problem with Linksys WRT120N

Hello,

I'm using LINKSYS WRT120N router. It is connected to my DSL and Computer. I properly configured the router but it doesn't have internet but my laptop can detect and connect to my router. In short, my problem is the internet connection. I tried several solutions that I've read from the forum like reformatting the desktop computer, and resetting the router but it doesn't work. I called the DSL provider to check the connection and it was good when it is directly connected into the desktop. I also called where I bought the router and they've said that the router is in good condition. I don't know what to do. Please help me where can I find the problem and solve this out! PL...

Linksys WRT54G and Charter

Hi,

I've used my Linksys WRT54G wireless router with Charter cable internet for a few years. Small problems here and there but nothing a reboot/power cycle cannot solve. However since yesterday, all of a sudden I can no longer get online with the router. I can get online just fine if I connect the cable modem directly to my computer, but not through a router. The "internet" light on the router just kept blinking semi-rapidly. I've tried resetting the modem and the router numerous times but to no avail. And I didn't change any settings at all since it's been working fine for me for the past few years.

Can anyone help me? Or is it time to get a new router? ...

Linksys WRT54G2 default password doesn't work

Hello,

I'm trying to configure this router but after reading the User Guide, I can't get into the Web-Based Utility.
I do exactly what it says: leave user blank, type "admin" as password (without "") but nothing. I even tried just hitting ENTER without typing anything but still couldn't. I also tried "root" as password.

I've also reseted the router (pressed the reset button for 5 secs) and it turned off and turned on instantly.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Configuration: Windows 7 / Safari 534.24
