WRT54GS No Internet light

Hey, in response to the "WRT54GS No Internet light" below. I do not think it is against the terms of our ISP. I live in a little shack on the same property as my parents (which i was referring to as neighbor), directly behind their house. Everything is owned by my parents, I simply live there, outside of the main house, i do not know how this could possibly violate any ISP issue, so any help with the WET problem would be appreciated.

Thanks

Re: WRT54GS No Internet light

Parents and neighbors are two very distinctly different things, it's hard to imagine how you'd get them confused.

Re: WRT54GS No Internet light

Wireless Ethernet Bridge (WET). I think it might be a linksys thing.

Re: WRT54GS No Internet light

OK, you configure the primary router (connected to the internet) normally as a standard router. The secondary bridge gets the special configuration as the WET (a term I never saw before )

Re: WRT54GS No Internet light

haha learn something everyday right? Here is the problem i'm encountering when trying to configure this...

While changing the settings for the router in my house, i go to http://192.168.1.1, however, the Basic Settings and Basic Wireless settings are on different pages (i'm referring to the picture i uploaded last post). When i change either the basic setting or the wireless settings i have to click save at the bottom of the page. after it saves, the browser can no longer display the page (even if i try going to 192.168.2.1 after). therefore i can only change either the basic settings or the basic wireless settings, not both. also when i change the ip address for the router the access point no longer connects, giving me a limited connectivity error. i have to reset the router to get back to the http://192.168.1.1 page.

Re: WRT54GS No Internet light

You're not really trying to configure this using a wireless connection, are you?

If you connect using a wired connection, you change the wireless settings, then as the last step, change the base address. You should never configure a router using wireless connections.

Re: WRT54GS No Internet light

i've got it wired when i try to hook everything up. Whenever i change my router's IP address to 192.168.2.1, I cannot get back into the router's settings page in the browser. the connection to the access point is lost (there is a connection to the access point normally, it just cant find the internet).

Re: WRT54GS No Internet light

After you change the router's IP address, do the following.

Start, Run, CMD

IPCONFIG /release

IPCONFIG /renew
