WRT300N Router Issue




By ejnino631 on May 22, 2009

" "
I have a Linksys WRT300N router. The problem is that I do not have wireless internet connection. Moreover, I have a secure network (WPA). However, when I entered the wpa password, it does not accept it. Then I ping the router, I do not get good ping (request time out). If I put a network cable between the cable modem and my laptop, I don't have any problems connecting to the web. I go to view wireless networks, I can see my ssid, click connect and entered password and doesn't work. Instead I sometimes get a unsecured network, sometime I don't. I've checked the router settings and everything seems OK. I'm a bit confused here. Thank you for your help.

- I did a reset of the wrt300n, but it did not work. So I went out and bought another router. It is a wrt110 router. I configured it using wpa. When I try to go to view available wireless networks, I got a "Windows cannot find any Wireless Networks". Now, I've made sure that the wireless button is on the laptop. I've also ensure that the built-in wireless network in the laptop is set to enabled. Once, I managed to see my ssid in view available wireless network and it had a red X to the right of it. Not sure what is going on here. If you have any more ideas, please let me know. Thank you.

What I would recommend, would be to give the router a factory reset. To do so, you'll need a paper clip first. On the back of the router, you should see a pinhole-sized rubber nub of a button labeled reset. To reset, unplug the router from power, then press and hold that little reset button in, and plug the router back into power (you might have to do some nifty acrobatics for this one, or get a friend to give you a hand). Keep holding the reset button in for about 20 seconds, and let go. If I recall, you probably won't see any real indication on the router itself that it worked, however, you should be able to log back into the router manually, and set your connections back up again, in the event that the settings may have become corrupted somehow. If this doesn't work though, then there may be further problems, in which case, you may need to get onto Linksys' website, and download the most recent firmware for your model of router, and then try setting it up again. If that doesn't work, then the router may be experiencing some kind of hardware failure, in which case, if you are within the manufacturer's warranty, contact Linksys for repair or replacement (or through your place of purchase). If you are not within warranty, then buying a new replacement router may be your only other option. Hope this helps!!

- I've seen something like this happen, if you have both Windows controlled wireless, as well as one for your built-in wireless card (a la broadcom, Intel PROset, etc). You may have to finagle a bit with the wireless network settings to see what is trying to control your wireless, and either use the brand-controlled wireless settings, or tell Windows to override it and use its own instead. Whichever you choose, one thing I would suggest would be to go through the settings, and remove any memory of whatever wireless connections it's used in the past (profiles), and restart the computer and tell it to try connecting again.
