| 8 Stateofchock, on Sep 28, 2008 6:04:08 pm BSTHi there !
I cannot enter my linksys wrt54g. Do you have a solution to this problem.
Futher more I am trying to connect my router to a wireless printer that I have got lexmark 4350. The printer asks for a key, nyt I have 4 keys ? |
| 14 RLF, on Nov 3, 2008 1:06:10 pm GMTShashank ... I have a little different problem than was posed before. I have a Y510 Lenovo laptop and a Lexmark Z1420 wireless printer. Both were talking to my WRT54G Linksys router perfectly until I tried to turn on the security. When I was done, the laptop could no longer talk to the router wirelessly (so no internet connection) and it couldn't communicate with the printer. I have tried to undo everything but have not been successful. Is there any way that I can reset everything so I can get back to square one and start all over again? | 15 Shashank, on Nov 16, 2008 7:59:04 am GMTGreetings,
so you have a lenovo laptop, linksys wrt54g wireless router and a lexmark wireless printer. And you wants to secure your wireless network. Just follow the instructions ---
SETTING UP WIRELESS SECURITY ON YOUR ROUTER--------
1> connect your lenovo with the WRT54G at port no. 1 it is very imp. to hardwire your computer, also check for the light status of the router to ensure that it is connected.
2> access the router setup from a web browser (may be using 192.168.1.1, the default address of your router, and admin as the password.). You can also go to kb.linksys.com if you need more help to access your router setup.
3> at the top click on wireless on the BLACK bar at the top.
4> under wireless click on wireless security on the blue bar.
5> select the security mode as WPA-PERSONAL (best encryption and supported by all devices).
6> select WPA ALGORITHUM as TKIP.
7> in WPA Shared Key type: "superman" or any thing else but it should be at least 8 characters long. and you should remember it as this will be your wireless password.
8> the Group Renewal key should be 3600.
9> Click on save settings at the bottom.
PERSONALIZING YOUR WIRELESS NETWORK NAME--------
1> Under Wireless, click on Basic wireless settings.
2> MODE: mixed
3> NAME: <WHAT EVER U WANT> CHANGE IT eg NINJA, SPIDER etc
4> Channel: 11
5> SSID BROADCAST: ENABLED
NOW YOUR ROUTER IS CONFIGURED.
Now u jest need to connect your laptop and printer to this new secured wireless network using the security key and i am damn sure it will work.
enjoy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for your contribution. My old Linksys router WRT54GS works fine with my Dell laptop before . I bought a new hp lap top with Vista a month ago. The HP laptop with its customized wireless connection system automatically connect the computer to the exsiting home wireless net work. But since then, my dell laptop can connect via hard wire through the router, but no wireless net work anymore. You can see the home wireless network profile is avaiable to choose from the screen. My computer indicates that I have an excellent signal from the router, but when I try to open a browser the screen says it cannot be connected to the internet. I was wondering there is an issue with IP address , but not expert to tell. Can you help?Thanks in advance | 67 BLONDAG, on Oct 5, 2009 8:05:32 pm BSTI HAVE A NEW COMPERTUR WITH VISTA AND MY WIRLESS ROUTER SHOW CONNECTED WITH GREAT CONCECTION BUT WONT CONNECTE TO THE INTERNET |

| 42 SMELZBAD, on May 31, 2009 1:48:55 am BSTHi...having a problem with linksys WRT54GS wireless router and hoping you can help...
Running XP SP3 and ie8...
The router has always worked fine for me and still does but recently I've been losing my internet connection about every hour or so and have to unplug the power cord on the router to have it reset and then I get the internet connection back
If I bypass the router and go directly to my NIC from the modem I have no such problem so the problem is definitely related to the wireless setup....
Any ideas?
(using WPA Personal and TKIP)
Thanks... | 50 PJ, on Jun 24, 2009 4:34:42 pm BSTHi did you fix the problem. I have the same problem. only now I can not even get into the router via 192.168.1.1
I guess it is damaged or hacked but, dont know for sure.
I have to turn it off then back on very often to reboot. My wireless connection is now (for some reason) UNSECURED. It used to be secured.
Any advice would help | 51 pj2, on Jun 29, 2009 4:40:32 pm BSTHello,
I seem to have the exact same problem as pj : I cannot get into the router's web setup menu at 192.168.1.1 (but I can ping that address), and the wireless is always on and unsecured.
I have managed to get a web page after doing the router reset procedure, before the wireless mode starts, but all I got was a page to install firmware.
I reinstalled the firmware using that page, and it looked like it reinstalled ok, but still no change to the router: no access to the setup menu, and wireless comes on and stays on unsecured.
The router is a WRT54GS V7 with SpeedBooster, serial CGNB1GC09846
The routing function works ok, I can use two pc's and a modem on the Ethernet ports, but I want to be able to turn off the wireless, or at least secure it.
Help please! | 59 Sandy, on Sep 5, 2009 2:38:30 pm BSTHi,
it seems ur not able to enter in the setup page by 192.168.1.1 , and u say that u have 2 pcs and modem connected to ethernet. correct.
So just try this out, connected modem to internet port and pcs to port 1,2 and try to open the setup of router by 192.168.1.1 . if still not going through , reset the router bu pressing the reset button for 30 sec that is located at the back of linksys router . then try to open the page through ur internet Explore using 192.168.1.1 , username : (blank ) Password : admin.
Then to secure the Wireless . go to wireless tab then u can change the SSID Name to anything of ur choise and save it. then got to wireless security tab bleow black strip on blue strip. and select security mode as WEP and rest of the settings as it is then enter 10digit numeric password in Key 1 box. then save it...
Then go to wireless laptop... search for wireless signals u will find the name that u have give.. try to connect it will ask u for 10 dig same password . enter the password and click connect .....
u will get connected fine........ Best Luck try this out.. |

| 47 marat, on Jun 20, 2009 3:38:55 am BSTHi, Shashank
I have a WRV200 router that i am very happy with. It is connected via a DSL modem to my desktop and I have a wireless network setup for my laptop. Now, I just purchased a Canon wireless printer and I was trying to set it up on the network and ran into a pronlem: I need WEP key for the printer to be allowed to my network access point. Well, I would need to get in my web-page at 192.168.1.1. However, when i type in that address, the info shown is that of my DSL modem. How can I reconnect the DSL modem, router and the desktop so that i could get to Lynksys website? Right no i have DSL coming into the modem, which is connected to the router via ethernet cable. The desktop is connected to the 1st port in the router.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you

| 48 Cb1, on Jun 21, 2009 4:42:51 am BSTI have setup and installed many wrt54g with the antennas on them and the newer dark blue routers with the internal antennas. We now can only purchase the black Linksys routers with the Cisco logo on them, WRT54G2. When setting up the wireless, I enter a SSID and set it to broadcast. Under security, I select the WEP and enter the key. When I search for wireless networks on my laptop, I detect the SSID and click connect. My laptops start to connect. The problem is that I don't get a "enter WEP" screen, I get a screen that says to enter my PIN and then push a button on the Access Point. It gives me the option to enter information manually but that gives me a login, password and domain screen. I have tried this with Windows Vista and a Windows XP laptop. Even when I got one to work, it worked for one laptop but when someone else tried to connect their laptop, it gave them the same "push button on access point" screen. These screens are on the laptop, not in the Linksys setup in IE. Can you help on why I can't get to the "enter WEP" screen? |
| 49 edsel, on Jun 24, 2009 3:19:07 am BSTHi shashank, i just want to ask if you can access the ip address of the router(LinkSys) without internet connection?i just want to configure the setting to (Static IP address) so that i can enter manually the IP address to the other computer(LAN).thanks a lot!:-) |
| Hey shashank, i was wondering if you could help me. I have the linksys USB wireless adapter hooked into my desktop and i get to the part where it asks me for the key id or the passphrase. I have tried the passphrase but it says invalid (which I don't know why); I have tried the key id and after a while, it says it connects but it's limited. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. |
