I have a wrt54g v8 router. Worked fine until one morning I booted up my computer and there was no internet service. Provider troubleshot to a bad router. I bypass the router and internet service returns.
On the router I have all the necessary lights lit. All online help is useless due to no internet service when on-line help has me connect the Ethernet cable back to the router and router to the computer.
I would start by upgrading the firmware on the router... even if its the same version just do it again something in the software could be corrupt. Now make sure your getting the firmware for the exact router model #. After upgrade before you plug the router in reset the modem... then re-run the wireless network wizard. Do all of this and let me know if your wireless works now and we'll move to the next step.

i have a wrt54gs v7.2 that i was told had been smashed. i opened it up and found 1 of the capacitors had been crushed so i replaced it with 1 of the same value. i plugged it in and got nothing so i looked the board over real hard to find that "u6" had a chunk blown out of it. i would like to replace this and get this router in working order once again
