Just bought this Router ASUS RT N16. I upgraded the firmware to DD-WRT. Then upgraded to Tomato firmware following instructions found on the net. Router worked fine with DD-WRT but when I did the install of Tomato it looks like is is now Bricked. The only light that comes on is the power light. Wireless light is not lit plus I am unable to log into the router. I have tried all of the suggestions provided from other sites concerning restoring to factory specs with no results. I just received the router Saturday 4/2/11 but I assume this won't be covered by its warranty. I read in an old forum (2008) there was a guy that could fix this but am unable to contact him. What would you suggest for me to do. I really hate to purchase a new one.

DD WRT is a firmware upgrade sight you can find wonderful firmware upgrades that make your router come to life and Evan worth more than you payed for your original router, check the router database and see if your router is listed and capable for an upgrade to dd wrt, i did it with my dir615 and it gave me a whole host of additional optins for configurations , it was a long search for "dd wrt" but well worth it.

What does your ISP provide? Usually the ISP cable company will set one up that you connect to, or, take a look at these: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CatId=160&srkey=cable%20modems

I'm having the same issue with the same router and printer (mine is CLP-300/XXA).
At first when I try t print a pdf file or an image or any text/word document file with pictures/images I get an SPL-C error.
I have upgraded the firmware and it worked great on my laptop! Then, I tried to install the printer driver on my desktop, but now none of them work correctly.

Still not solved, but here are some suggestions:
1. Try to upgrade the firmware. 2. Try to install the original samsung printer driver 3.0.1
3. If it didn't work try to install the updated driver 3.0.4 4. If it didn't work try to install the Universal Printer Driver
5. IMPORTANT: between uninstalling and installing driver, disconnect both printer and router A/C power adapter and try to reboot you PC after removing the previous driver!
I'm going to work on it and see if it works. The DD-WRT firmware solved the exact same problem on my previous RT-N13U router, but unfortunately DD-WRT doesn't support RT-N56U yet!
Note: I called ASUS and they told me that Samsung printers are not supported for printer sharing server :(

This normally has to do with wireless encryption. If you use WPA encryption disable it and enable WEP or, for the time being, no encryption. Then retry.

Most routers do not support repeaters while using WPA wireless encryption. It is a known fact. Only way around that, is to install 3rd party firmware if your router supports it, such as Tomato or DD-WRT (my favorite).

Best of luck,

Try switching to DD-WRT

If you have to resort to the hard method of recovery, be careful.
I have only ever permanently killed one router - doing this - http://voidmain.is-a-geek.net/redhat/wrt54g_revival.html

You will first need to establish which model router you have. Then you will (assuming you want to use DD-WRT firmware) need to flash a micro or mini firmware. Then you flash again, using the standard.
There are many users worldwide using your WRT54G and GL routers with other than standard firmware, me included. I manage a network of 9 routers running DD-WRT V23SP2 standard.

Don't give up, and when it says to leave it 30 seconds (or 2 minutes) DO! Be patient...

I have heard alot of people having this type of problem. The best would be to upgrade your firmware to another firmware such as

dd-wrt and tomato

I prefer you choose DD-WRT just go to www.dd-wrt.com and click on supported devices and just type in the last 3 digits of your router then download the firmware depending on the type of your specification. Then on the wireless make sure you put the Wireless Network Mode on Mixed.

If you need more setting please let me know i will be able to assist you much better on this..

Thanks

The best and simple method to do is to do a hard reset of the router so that the factory default settings are put back.

If after that it still doesnt work check the QOS may be the port is set to use upto 10mbps only.

If not that then just upgrade to a firmware like tomato or dd-wrt they are very nice firmwares i personally use dd-wrt and its the best.

the best would be trying to upgrading your router to a new firmware like tomato or dd-wrt which has much better features and your wireless device would start working.

www.dd-wrt.com that is the one i use and its fantastic.

try to upgrade the latest firmware for the router and reset and reconfig it..
