Re: LinkSys WRT54G Stops allowing internet access

I have mine hooked to a APC BE750 which also is not a Smart UPS.
Possibly a power glitch could be it. Strange it would knock out the
internet access while leaving the other wireless functions intact.

I can't get ANYWHERE on the internet, email, or nada. Any network access
other than internet is fine. The problem is a lot easier than you are
trying to\
see. There probably is no solution. I just want to know if others have
same
issue. After I power off and on router the internet is fine until next
time.

What part of the internet are you being blocked from with wireless and
what
part are you able to get through to with wireless?
And you confirm that you have no trouble getting to any location on the
internet using a wired connection to the router
Channel interference would cause a problem only when another wireless
user
was trying to use the same channel so it would be an intermittent problem
from your viewpoint.

As I said its only the Internet that does not work through the wireless
router.
Channel changes do nothing to help. The router is accessible, the
internet
connection to router is OK, just can't get to internet wirelessly.

Channel interference would block the wireless connection totally not just
a specific part of it.

Is the problem with both wired and wireless connections to the router?
If only with wireless have you tried changing the channel number to the
low
end or the high end since you may be getting channel interference from a
neighbor?

My WRT54G will stop allowing internet access every couple of days, more
or
less. We had two of these are work which were SEVERAL years older and
they did same thing. I have Vista which I doubt is issue since the older
ones
at work had 95/98 and XP machines. Mine is Ver 8.0 with latest firmware
and ones at work were 3 years older and probably never had firmware
updates.
My access was only physical so I could power them off and back on.

All 3 stop allowing internet access regularly and had to be powered off
to
reset internet. So I think others must be having same problem?



My 54G will normally stay up and running for weeks to months at a time but
if there is any kind of electrical degradation on the line the same issue
occurs on my home wireless network. Again, just like yours, mine is cleared
by a turn-off/turn-on sequence.

The only reason I know of this is that even though it is hooked to a UPS the
UPS is not a "smart" UPS and it does allow a drop in power for a split
second. It is registered on the attached computer's UPS software but since
the power supply to the router is not the same as in the computer there is
that momentary drop in the router's power. Apparently this is enough to shut
down the connection between the router and the cable modem I have. The
wired connection to the router from the desktop in my home network also
loses internet connectivity but not data or printer sharing capability.

Since I don't have money to spend on the "smart" UPS I will live with the
issue until I go to the "N" class router that I just purchased for my "N"
capable laptop cards.
