I have WRT54GX2 lINKSYS WIRELESS router. This is connected with high speed cable connection. If I connect my pc directly through cable modem then it works but when it goes through the Linksys router it does not. Also then the wireless function also does not work for my laptop. what are my options?
More then likely the cable company changed the ip addresses for the local side of thier router. if they made thier routers local side be 192.168.1.xxx and if you linksys router (which is by default) also 192.168.1.xxx on the lan it will not work.
call your cable company and ask them what the local (LAN) ip address range is and adjust it or the linksys router accordingly
Is this working before? Then This is for reconfiguration and the solution Enuro 12 gave you is right. To add up, password is admin and leave username blank. If after configuration it won't still work, then have the firmware upgraded and you can call 18003267114 for manual upgrade of firmware.
Sounds like your pc is grabbing up an IP address but your Wireless router isn't.
Plug your cable into the Linksys just like you did before.
Your default ip will be something like 192.168.1.101
Open your web browser and type in 192.168.1.1
it should ask for a user and password
put in admin and admin, or just admin for the password and no username. I have not used that model so i'm not sure.
Find the administration page i believe. Then find "Mac Address Clone" select copy my mac address, and select the box for using the option, then save.
Reboot both devices (Unplug and plug them back in) and that should fix the problem.
As for wireless on the latop, do you have wireless working on anything else?

I have same problem. Router worked before but now can't get internet when modem connects to router. I am aware of the upgrade to firmware fix but when I open Internet explorer browser (at this point modem connected directly to tower and ISP homepage shows) typing the IP into address bar doesn't go to another window. How do I get an appropriate address bar on browser?
