Re: Linksys Wireless router connected but no access to the internet

whats the make and model of the modem
whats the model of the router

would you connect to the modem and when you have a working internet connection - post back and ipconfig /all

to which port are you connecting the modem to the router

looking at the Ethernet connection and the wireless we have different gateway information, so we need to work that out.

Re: Linksys Wireless router connected but no access to the internet

that ipconfig /all and comment looks the same as the original post
can you detail how the PC is connected
can you do as requested - connect directly to the modem and post and ipconfig /all

Re: Linksys Wireless router connected but no access to the internet

that is when the internet modem is connected directly to my computer. As soon as I put the modem ethernet cable to the router (at the internet port) and then connect from port one on the routher to my computer, I loose internet access.

Re: Linksys Wireless router connected but no access to the internet

if thats the case then the modem is actually a router and you are therefor connecting two routers together

then you need to change the way the linksys is setup

have a read here from a johnwill post


Connecting two (or more) SOHO broadband routers together.

Note: The "primary" router can be an actual router, a software gateway like Microsoft Internet Connection Sharing, or a server connection that has the capability to supply more than one IP address using DHCP server capability. No changes are made to the primary "router" configuration.

Configure the IP address of the secondary router(s) to be in the same subnet as the primary router, but out of the range of the DHCP server in the primary router. For instance DHCP server addresses 192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.100, I'd assign the secondary router 192.168.0.254 as it's IP address, 192.168.0.253 for another router, etc.

Note: Do this first, as you will have to reboot the computer to connect to the router again for the remaining changes.

Disable the DHCP server in the secondary router.

Setup the wireless section just the way you would if it was the primary router, channels, encryption, etc.

Connect from the primary router's LAN port to one of the LAN ports on the secondary router. If there is no uplink port and neither of the routers have auto-sensing ports, use a cross-over cable. Leave the WAN port unconnected!

This procedure bypasses the routing function (NAT layer) and configures the router as a switch (or wireless access point for wireless routers).

For reference, here's a link to a Typical example config using a Netgear router

I had the same issue and worked on my comp tethered to my linksys router for hours. I came across your solution and in 5 minutes I was connected to the internet through my router. You guys are life savers. Thanks for your help.:flowers:
 
#12 · (Edited)
I went through the sign up just to express the gratitude that I have for this solution! My 2nd range extending router (Linksys WRT54GL) had been working fine until I changed my ISP. I've been Googling and futzing around with this for a week now. I'm posting this from my shop which now has a wifi signal again! Yay! :smile:
