I am having trouble connecting my BD 390 wirelessly with my Linksys WRT54G2 modem. Other computers in the house see the network, as well as the neighbors network, but the 390 doesn't see either of them and i can't get connected. Do i need a new router? Thanks

What drivers do you want to download?
There are not drivers for Linksys router. It works on a software called as firmware?
How many wireless computers do you have?
What is the operating system on your laptop?
If your wireless network is secured then make sure that you have the correct network key.

Hi

The Router configuration is not that much difficult, only few thing you have sure,
1) Correct ADSL Connection User name & password,
2) Chose unique ip address in All host.

Follow the mention bellow instruction to configure and connect to Wifi Router,

• Plug the network cable ( Mine was Blue ) which comes with the Router Box pack to your computer. The other end goes into any of the Router Ethernet Port ( 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 )
• Now type in 192.168.1.1 in IE or Firefox or any browser. You will prompted for password which is admin. You must be logged into Linksys Router.
• Now since your ADSL modem is also having the same IP , we will change the IP address for WRT54G2 Router to 192.168.5.1
• Under Setup >Basic Setup look for Network Setup and Change Router IP. Change to 192.168.5.1 and Save changes.
• Since the IP has changed you will need to close the Browser.
• Sometimes the IP doesnt change automatically. Do a IPCONFIG / RELEASE and then IPCONFIG / Renew

• Once Done just save changes and you should be back at same page.

Configuring for Wireless Connection :Now once your Router is talking with Modem, it is pretty easy to connect on Wireless. The only thing we need to setup here is Security. Lets get WIFI

• Get to the Lynksys page again. Do all login and regualr stuff.
• Now look for menu Wireless, click on it. You should land on Basic Wireless Settings.

Basic Wireless Settings

• Select wireless configuration to Manual .
• Wireless network mode to Mixed.
• Give a Wireless Network Name (SSID), make sure its unique.
• Make Wireless channel selection 11 ( 11 - 2.463 GHZ)
• Select Wireless SSID Broadcast to Enable
• Save Settings and you will be back at the same page with changes you made.

Now Lets secure the Router :

• Go to Wireless Security on the same page.
• You will need to configure here Security Mode : WPA Personal, WPA Algorithms: TKIP
• WPA Shared Key is what you will need when you connect to your router without wire. This key does the authentication and keep unwanted people away. Add 8 digit alphanumeric key.
• As suggested in comments, there is a new mode which you can use : WPA2 with AES
• Save changes.Just make sure you save that key to a notepad or remember it.

Wrt54g2 wireless security

• Now last step, Move to next menu Security > Firewall .
• Uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests .
• Save Settings.

That's it. Now just turn on your WIFI and Search for the router. The name should be visible. Click to connect. At this stage it will ask you for the Password or Shared Key which we configures just above. It will connect and you will be able to connect to Internet.
That's all Folks. This is how you connect WRT54G2 Linksys router with Adsl Broadband Modem. If you have any questions feel free to comment.

With that particular model you wont be able to use it as a wireless bridge. You can however run an ethernet cable from the modem to any point in your house. the SBG900 i believe has wireless built into it, so you may need up with 2 wireless networks.

Hope that helps.

Try holding down the reset button for 30 seconds and then try connecting after it comes back on(usually 1-2 mins)

If there is only zero on the ip add, sub mask etc then it would never work.Make sure your router is connected to a modem and that the latter can be hooked directly to a pc with cable and test if there is an internet connection. If there is a connection go back to your pc and connect to your wireless.Then go to start>cmd, a black screen would appear and type the following : ipconfig /iprenew .Then afterward type ipconfig and see if the zeros' you mentioned earlier changes to a value to the format of x.x.x.x .This should solve your problem.

You will need to check the wireless settings of the router .
Is there any computer connected to the router with the Ethernet cable?
If not then connect 1 computer to the router and open the router set up page. Once you open the router set up page, you will be able to find the wireless network key.
Use that password to connect to the wireless network

I had a similiar problem with my BD390...Saw the SSID but not able to log on. I ended up performing a downgrade of firmware from LG's support page and corrected it. Afterwards upgraded firmware to current levels and works still ok.

Right click the network icon in the system tray. Click "repair."

If that doesn't work.Power off netbook, router, modem...
Turn on router. Then Modem. Then netbook in that order waiting 1 minute interval between each.

Everything should be functioning ok.

You probably will need to make some configuration changes in the Linksys router, or in your computer, or both. Your are correct that you connect the Linksys WAN connection to the LAN connection of the modem. If your connection type is PPPOE, you will need to set that up in the Linksys with the username and password provided by your ISP, so the modem will allow you to login and connect to the internet. If that is how you were connecting to the modem with your computer, you will need to configure a new LAN connection in the computer in order to connect to the Linksys. You can then configure the Linksys through your web browser to connect to the modem.


If you find my suggestions to be helpful, please share with us some details so that others may benefit from knowing the whole story. Thank you!
