Router Problems...
Okay, so I have a Linksys WRT54G v2.2, which I've updated to the latest firmware, and since the power tripped on us last night, it simply won't work with the intardnet.
If you connect the computer directly to the cable modem, you can access the intardnet; but if you try to connect the computer thru the router, the only thing you can access is the router's built in configuration page, no intardnet at all.
Does any one have any suggestions as to what to do? I've tried resetting the damn thing, etc.
EDIT, I'm on comcast if that helps anyone....

Yes, check the router status page if it establishes connection with the modem, if not then you need to check the WAN settings part.
If it works, then maybe DNS is screwed.
see if you can visit an IP adress with no domain name. Like http://80.60.190.55
If that works then you need to look up your DNS adresses of your ISP and enter them either in the router or in Windows network settings.

Got it to work, I had to run the router setup program which came with the router on a CD

I've never used that Linksys router setup program. The only trick is to know the password to get into the config page. I believe Linksys routers ship with the password set to "admin" and the username blank. Obviously, you should change this right away. I would also disable configuration through the wireless link (ie- you should be forced to use a wired connection in order to configure the router).

Wrt54G < v5 (which is compatible goes for < 50$ on ebay. WHR-G54S is 40$ on newegg (I believe this is the cheapest DD-WRT compatible router other than regular WRT54G which is limited due to lack of space).

Bah, you and your FIOs - it's available here in Fairfax, but not at my addressphongn wrote:Mmm, custom firmware - I'm a big fan of Tomato (DD-WRT always struck me as bloated). Unfortunately, I can't use my Linksys router as it's too slow to keep up with my Internet connection.
