Linksys WRT54G problem [merged threads]

[ab_initio]

wait a minute (duh!) ... have you tested the modem by directly connecting it to your computer? If it's working, then assume the problem is the router, either the configuration is wrong or the router is defective. Either way, it's hard for someone (like me) to diagnose via forum discussion.

Are you nor familiar enough to fiddle around in the router's basic connection settings?

i may sometimes relate with my laptop via synergy, most often, i have a good time working with it... but honestly, i don't know my laptop that much...heheheh...i guess the connections are simpler...connected but the router can't detect any...

^^ Try to isolate the problem..Remove the router, connect modem directly to computer..

My experience with WRT54Gbeen using for 5yrs w/o major problems)
- firmware upgrade to fix bugs
- Poor ventilation causes overheating and stalls the device
- Adaptor is Transformer type(not auto volt), if commercial power sags, chances are youll get DC or causes router to hang.. Connect adaptor to line interactive UPS or better replace adaptor w/ switching type 12VDC 1A.
Also set modem lease time to max..You will get DC if lease time expires and reset would solve the problem temporarily. Ask isp to replace modem for isolation purposes.

Overall ok naman ang linksys though performance is not as good as hardened-carrier grade device. For small-office-home-office use lang talaga

If thats the case, you might have no other recourse but to request for an onsite technical assistance to resolve your connection problems quickly.

You might want to configure the router for the type of internet connection you are using. Example, static IP, dynamic IP, PPOE, etc.

If you don't know what I am talking about, try reading the quick guide that comes with the Linksys router.

Personal experience, the router fails around a year after using it. I had four routers (shops, home, office) and they typically failed to function normally after six months to 1.5 years.

I replaced ALL of my routers with TP-LINK brand wifi routers. No problems at all. Even my brother's friend and in-laws have taken my advise and used TP-LINK routers. It's quite affordable at P1,400 for a 4-port wifi B/G 54mbs router.

BTW, I suggest you invest into wifi-N standard routers for the added speed and range. Even if your current devices aren't "N" standard, at least you can have the option for it anytime you want.

I never had any problem with my Linksys (same model in Q) router for almost a year now. I got only brief interrupted conn due to ISP's upgrades and technical enhancements (sabi nila). I haven't upgraded yet the firmware though it still is working fine and I don't want to mess it up knowing some bugs during firmware upgrades. I also use the wifi function with my lappy and N80. Just configured the WEP sec functions and p2p port forwarding. Other than that, it's working fine as it should be.

After reflashing my WRT54G to the newest firmware available in their website, I have never rebooted the router again. Oks na sya.

^^Gud to hear sir. I also updated my FW with 4 Linksys AP devices last month. Usually out from the box, icheck for updates and flash it before using.

Guys, hav you encountered this aa(airborne access) Linksys WRT54GL? Im planning to flash it with DDRT Firmware, problem is aa's OpenWRT console has no link button to FirmWare upgrade. Does anybody know how to flash this thing?

What is your router? have you enabled DHCP? Are you sure the LAN patch cable is good?

Try configuring or setting-up your desktop for the new internet connection.

still the same,

anyone knows customer service number nila yung toll free sa philippines? thx

[ghosthunter]

This might sound stupid but have you enabled your wifi at both ends? (laptop and router)

Did you configure the router's wifi setup properly? Did you do a test without the wifi security enabled?
