hey whats up I can't seem to get wireless internet from my wireless router...

i'v tried to reset my router unplugged all that was connected to it.....

basicly the WLAN light on the router isn't on im figuring that i should some how be able to turn it on through some kind of settings .... so... i put in the wizard setup disk and did as it told me... but it says it can't find router.... this is while the cords are plugged in.....

so i looked around and found that you can go to the login page... by typen the ip in ur browser............

did that and it timed-out... i also tryed to ping the router and that timed out...

i dont know what to do it's driving me crazyyyyyyyyy

well heres some specs

my computer is windows xp

wireless thing is Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN

my router is Linksys wireless-G 2.4 GHz

the model number of the router is WRT54G

internet would be....

DPC2100R2 cable modem

I hope someone out there can help me through this.......

Call Tech support for the modem. My last 2 modem buys wouldn't work the way you said so I called and they got it working. (A linksys and a Belkin.)

WLAN light on the router isn't on

Thats a problem ....

first
if you connect the PC tothe modem - can you get access tothe internet OK ?

The modem should be connected to the port labeled - internet on the back of the router
and the PC connected to one of the four other LAN ports

Does the PC connect up to the intenet

Next we need to check the wireless
log into the router and goto the wireless section
Make sure wireless is on, if on the WLAN should be on
then remove any wireless secruity/encryption

also download and install
http://www.xirrus.com/library/wifitools.php

run the program and do a screen print - and post back here

Connected by cable to the router post an ipconfig /all here
{ipconfig /all}
We would like to see the results from ipconfig /all

-> Start > run {search bar in Vista} > cmd > ipconfig /all
post back the results here


TWO Methods to do that - if you cannot access the internet with PC, then use method 2 to copy onto a machine that can access the internet and post results here

Method ONE -------------------------------------------------------------
start > run {search bar in Vista} > cmd > ipconfig /all

rightclick in the box
select all
enter
control key + C key - to copy
then reply here and
control key + V to paste

Method TWO -------------------------------------------------------------

Start> Run {search bar in Vista}> CMD to open a DOS window and type:

IPCONFIG /ALL >C:\RESULT.TXT

Open C:\RESULT.TXT with Notepad and copy/paste the entire results here.

here's what was happening last night i figured out that my router is not changing the gateway or ip address when i reset the router..... maybe i'm not doing it long enough when i push button.. so i can't log in ... maybe this router is fried ... idk but i'd like to try every thing i can... someone also said to upgrade the firmware .. and i told my buddy and he said if that's the case how would you access the firmware to upgrade it..

i tried to install that program twice now that you had ask me to install and use .. but every time i try to open it i get this error message

The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the applications.

so what do you guys think i should do?

thanks for replyen i appreciate it

quite a few thing there - lets sperate them
1) Can you do the ipconfig and post back results
2) To log into the router - chapter 6 of the online manual tells you how to login

To access the web-based utility, launch Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, and enter the Router’s default IP
address, 192.168.1.1, in the Address field. Then press Enter.
A password request page, shown in Figure 6-1 will appear. (non-Windows XP users will see a similar screen.)
Leave the User Name field blank. The first time you open the Web-Based Utility, use the default password admin.
(You can set a new password from the Administration tab’s Management screen.) Then click the OK button.

That should open the router utility
You can check the settings there - post back the settings in the first page

3) Unable to install program - are you set up as an admin on the PC - is this your machine or a work machine
You need MS net framework - which is usually instaled with the updates
see here
The Microsoft .NET Framework is not installed.
There are various versions
Goto windows update and see what is recommened

Version 2

Version 3

as far as the log in when i reset the router my ip doesnt change to the default ip so when i try to log in with that ip your told me to type in the browser it doesnt show me login page

I'm downloading the stuf you told me now

If that is when you connected to the router, you have your modem connected to the wrong port on the router. Connect the modem to the WAN/Internet port and this will work better.

[etaf]

as per johnwills post above and my earlier post

The modem should be connected to the port labeled - internet on the back of the router
and the PC connected to one of the four other LAN ports

recheck the connections and confirm back here ....
connect up correctly and post another ipconfig /all

[dinnerboy20]

its been connected the right way the whole time i didnt plug it in to the 4 ports i have it plugged into the internet port

If that IPCONFIG was from a connection on the router, something is very wrong.


The following procedure should get you a connection with any broadband modem that is configured to use DHCP for the router connection, such as cable modems, and many DSL modems. If you require PPPoE configuration for the DSL modem, that will have to be configured to match the ISP requirements.

Note that the wireless encryption and channel selection will have to be done after the basic wired connection is established, the first step is to get wired connections working.

• Reset the router to factory defaults by holding the reset button down for 15 seconds with power on.
• Turn off everything, the modem, router, computer.
• Connect the modem to the router's WAN/Internet port.
• Connect the computer to one of the router's LAN/Network ports.
• Turn on the modem, wait for a steady connect light.
• Turn on the router, wait for two minutes.
• Boot the computer.

When the computer is completely booted, let's see this.

Hold the Windows key and press R, then type CMD (COMMAND for W98/WME) to open a command prompt:

NOTE: For the items below in red surrounded with < >, see comments below for the actual information content, they are value substitutions from the previous command output!

In the command prompt window that opens, type type the following commands one at a time, followed by the Enter key:

IPCONFIG /ALL

PING <computer_IP_address>

PING <default_gateway_address>

PING <dns_servers>

PING 206.190.60.37

PING yahoo.com

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter to copy the contents to the clipboard.
Paste the results in a message here.

<computer_IP_address> - The IP Address of your computer, obtained from the IPCONFIG command above.

<default_gateway_address> - The IP address of the Default Gateway, obtained from the IPCONFIG command above.

<dns_servers> - The IP address of the first (or only) address for DNS Servers, obtained from the IPCONFIG command above.
