Linksys WRT54G and Charter
Solved/Closed27 responses
I have a WRT54G2 and was having the same problem but Cloning the MAC address and a quick reboot of everything solved the problem. Thanks for the help.
...as an update to my previous posting, sometimes (from Windows; there're similar commands available from Mac and Linux), entering (from the DOS-like command window)
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
will force the DHCP to be, not just renewed, but released and completely reconstructed.
...beats a full, power cycle...

You just fixed in 3 minutes what 3 HOURS of technical support (with both Charter AND Cisco) failed to achieve. This site rocks. Thanks!

I had the same issue after moving from AT&T to charter. Rep first advised of outage which I refused to believe then said that my router isn't compatible with theirs. Refused again. Hung up and did dd-wrt hack which I think I completed by pure luck. Set my reboot at 3 A.M. and have been running strong for two weeks. Pretty good for a $20 dollar router.
WELL IT SOUNDS LIKE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM !SO I JUST BOUGHT A REALLY NICE NETGEAR AND IT WORKS GREAT !!!!!!!!! FOR GET LINKSYS SUCKS THE BIG ONE!!!!!!!!!!
The same thing happened to us last night - all of a sudden, the wireless router (Linksys WRT54G) stopped working. Everything shows that there's a connection, but non of the computers can get to the internet. I called Charter today, and all they want to do is sell me a modem/wifi router combo. I did the whole reset, disconnect and reconnect - I have excellent connection via hardwire to the modem, but nothing on the router. I tried to reset to factory setting on the router, change the SSID, clone and MAC address, to no avail. Charter SUCKS!!! and every time I call, I can barely understand them on the phone. It is soooo annoying. I'm going through the whole set up again and see if I can get anywhere!! AAAARRGHHHHHH!!!
WHY DO YOU PEOPLE KEEP BLAMING CHARTER? They are only trying to help you. If it is your router's problem, they, of course, will offer to rent you their wireless modem/router. If you rent their's, they will support it and fix the problem if there is one. If you buy a car and put your own speakers in them and the sound doesn't work.. do you blame the car dealer? You are modifying something after the install... please know they probably are sick of you calling to complain to them also.. when it isn't something they can fix.. it's YOUR router! Rent theirs and you will be glad you did.. or just buy a different one. Good luck!
