Top 10 Linksys Wireless-G WRT54G Router Questions & Answers

One thing that isn't mentioned anywhere is the modem has to be in bridge mode. I was told this by a Linksys tech after doing all that was documented in the references article. I contacted my internet provider and they told me how to set the modem to bridge mode. This corrected the PPPoE error.

This web page has a wonderful graphic step by step to use port forward for your linksys router:

Yes. Your router ip is likely 192.168.1.1 put that into your web browser. You'll get a login screen. type admin then password in the two boxes. That should get you into the router unless the user id and password have been changed. If you goto the linksys site and goto downloads you can enter your model and version number and download the manual.

I have had this problem. Go to the website and get the free phone number and ring them. They were able to help me (twice as I forgot after the first time).

Since both your printer and your desktop are on the LAN side of your router, the hardware firewall isn't really a concern here. I would check the following:

-Make sure the printer is actually connected to the network. If you are having wireless difficulties, and have a wired ethernet port on the printer, try plugging it in rather than going wireless. (If this fixes the problem, you can then concentrate on it being a wireless connectivity issue rather than a firewall issue.)

-If possible, try printing from a different PC on the network. Does it work with that PC? If so, then reinstall the printer on the problem PC, perhaps even clearing out and reinstalling the drivers.

-You may also want to manually assign an IP address to the printer. This address must be within the same "range" as the rest of the network. Since your router is probably assigned 192.168.1.1, and DHCP auto-assigns your PC 192.168.1.100, make the printer 192.168.1.20. This way, the printer has the same address every time the PC goes looking for it.

-Make sure you don't have a second firewall on the affected PC. Zone Alarm, Norton Internet Security and many other "all in one" security packages sometimes throw a firewall in there without your knowledge. See if you can "ping" your PC from another computer on the network, and can you "ping" the printer from the problem PC?

router do not normally need installation software..

you can access their admin software by putting in the ip address into your browser...

if you are running xp go to start > run and type in "cmd"..

when you get the black DOS screen, type in "ipconfig" and look at the results for the ip address of your "Default Gateway"..

go back and type this into your web browser to access the router...

for linksys the default password is admin, leave the username blank

Yes, but you can not use your passphrase to attach to WEP. You will need to use one of the generated keys. It's the number onder your passphrase in the router configuration. It'll look like "accde45fff296" or something like that.

My first instinct is to do a hard reset of the device, if you haven't done this yet. To do this you need to press and hold the reset button on the back of your device for 10 seconds. This will completely reset your device back to factory. Of course, you will loose all security settings, and these will need to be re-entered into the router.
