[Wireless] How to troubleshoot a down network? (WRT54G) in Linksys http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r21033304 en Wed, 11 Nov 2009 07:33:34 EDT Wed, 11 Nov 2009 07:33:34 EDT Re: [Wireless] How to troubleshoot a down network? (WRT54G) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21275505 anon : Hi,
I'd similar problem, and tried for 5/6 hours to see if there was any luck.

Finally got hold of the router set-up CD, and then went to 192.168.1.1 and performed the set-up task as it was done for first time, and after couple of tries, the router was up and running :)

Best luck to anyone who might have problems and if this can help!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21275505 Thu, 16 Oct 2008 03:03:14 EDT Re: [Wireless] How to troubleshoot a down network? (WRT54G) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21237311 Hitman05 : I had a BEFW11S4 V2 on which the wireless radio simply died. The rest of the router worked fine, and the WLAN light was on but it would never broadcast a signal.

Could be that.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21237311 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 21:06:36 EDT Re: [Wireless] How to troubleshoot a down network?

I recommend trying a connection wired, to see if the router and DHCP functions are working, then work the wireless up from no security to whatever you run (hopefully some version of WPA).

One other time, I had enabled MAC filtering (yes, I know that is silly) and had a deuce of a time adding a PC, until I remembered to turn the filtering off.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21201295 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 21:51:21 EDT Re: [Wireless] How to troubleshoot a down network?

Can you get on the router? I.E. going to 192.168.0.1?
This is a Linksys, the default address is 192.168.1.1

(WRT54G) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21033304 anon : The router is working good (LAN cable wise) and I did power cycle it. I also tried changing the wireless channel.

I've got two laptops and a couple o' iphones that don't see the network. Nothing has changed at all - haven't touched the router in weeks.

Could it be an actual hardware failure? It seems that's the likely thing it would be. In which case - new router time for me!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21033304 Sat, 30 Aug 2008 19:36:12 EDT
