I have a WRT54G (version 2)that was working fine yesterday. I had my desktop & one laptop hardwired into the router. Laptop was VPN'd into work. All of a sudden I lost the connection, (cannot recall the error message). I shut down, restarted (PC, then modem, then router), no luck. Did this multiple times without success. I removed the router and I have internet connectivity, so I assume the problem is the router. I upgraded the firmware, no success. The lights are all flashing and I can get into the maintenance settings of the router. How can I tell if my router is working, or if it needs to be replaced?

Are you getting an Internet IP on the status page of the router?

I'm not really familiar with routers. How do I do this?

Thanks.

With your computer connected to the router, your compter should have an address similar to 192.168.1.xx. You open up Internet Explorer and type 192.168.1.1 into the address bar. Then, you enter in the user name and password (it's in the manual) and click on status.

I'm having a similar problem with the wrt54g v5. Just stopped broadcasting all of a sudden. I'm actually using a direct connect from my cable modem to get back online. If I go through the router, I get nothing. I can't even get onto the router config page.

Something I just noticed: The Cisco logo isn't blinking anymore. Been that way since the problem started. I've tried unplugging, using the reset button, and also pushing the Cisco button on the front. Does this thing just need a night off?

I have a new computer I want to add to my WRT54G network. It's security enabled. I've forgotten WEP key. How do I reset the WEP key?
