Belkin Wireless G router used for four laptops disconnects ocassionaly and have to reset First off, thanks for reading and any help you might be able to offer! I probably should have posted in the Network forum, but there's not many people there. :)Here's the problem:I just moved and got AT&T DSL hooked up.

They sent me a Siemens Speedstream 4100 modem. I have a Linksys BEFSR41 router (wired only, 4 port ethernet). Now I can't get the router to recognize the modem.

On the front of the router are LEDs for each ethernet port and the WAN port. The LINK LED just won't light up no matter what I try - which signals that the router won't recognize the modem. The modem recognizes that the other end is plugged in (via the Ethernet LED).

The thing is that the 4100 modem has the PPPoE authentication on it, which works fine. I can hook the modem directly to my computer and everything works fine. So it must be the router-modem connection.

I've tried:Having the router get an IP automatically from the modem. Changing the router's IP address. Having the modem pass PPPoE authentication to the router.

Bridging the modem. Power cycling the guts out of everything. No matter what I do, it never lights up the LINK LED.

Its driving me nuts! I'm hoping someone's experienced a similar issue and can help me out? Thanks, I did try that, but to no avail.

I don't think its dead, it just may be that the router is too old for the PPPoE on the modem configuration. :-(That's the only thing I can figure that went wrong. Course, it could be dead, but i'm too lazy to find out.

I ended up just getting another wireless router since i'll need it for my wii anyways. Thanks for the help! With the modem handling the PPPoE authentication, set the router up for standard cable modem.(basically a hardware reset on router will set that up).

Then change anything regarding firewall and such on the router. Yeah I tried setting up the router to accept an automatic IP address from the modem (which should happen w/ PPPoE on the modem), but it still didn't work. Maybe evongugg is right w/ the dead port/router idea.

:? Its all good now since I got a new router. Had the same problem with my D-Link 624 Rev C.

Here is what I've done so far:1) disconnect router and plug directly into the DSL modem2) get into the DSL modem webpage (same as wireless router)3) switch to "always on"4) copy tech info (primary DNS and secondary DNS)4) reconnect wireless router5) make the connection to Cable Model6) input the two DNS addressesThis should do it. Let me know how you make out. I have the same issue with my WRT54GS.

Recently I got DSL and I'm trying to hook up my Siemens 4100B modem to my Linksys WRT54GS, but so far I'm having zero luck. Running directly off the modem works fine, but the minute I bring the router into the equation everything goes south. I have configured the mode/router as follow:1.

Configured the modem to bridged.2. Plug in model to WAN port on router.3. Configured router to run in PPOE mode.No luck, I know the router is port is good because It works with Cable modem.

Try changing the IP address of the router. Linksys defaults this to 192.128.0.1. I'd change it to something different, like 10.0.0.1.

The modem (as far as I can tell) is hardcoded to take 192.128.0.1. This causes a bad conflict. Leave the authentication (PPPoE) on the modem, and set the router to get an IP address automatically.

On my old router, I couldn't change the entire IP address, just the last number. My solution was to get a new router. With DSL in my area and every router hookup, I've gone in (192.168.x.

X) and set them to cable modem (like a straight pass thru). Seems PPOE on the router messes with the DSL. Then set the router to DHCP & automatically assign addresses.

And don't forget to rename the login and password to the router, and wireless SSID and WPA password asap!3 idiots in my area have linksyses wide open with default factory passwords. Connect your PC to the router and clone its MAC address onto the router. I'm not sure that matters with no link LED showing, but it might if the modem has been set to only allow a specific MAC to connect to it.

Then plug the router into the modem and see if it flies. Oh yeah sorry about that, but my suggestion still stands. I think it could be related to the subnet mask on the modem as well.

I highly doubt that the modem is configured to allow only 1 MAC address. That would be a nightmare for consumers and ATT. Also, remember when you do a IP change, do a ipconfig /release and a ipconfig /renew to get your new IP address from the router.

How my netgear is set up is I have PPPoE on the modem and the modem is set to always provide the connection to the router with a specific address (192.168.64.1? - from my months old memory). The netgear is 10.0.0.1 and to automatically get the IP address from the router (akin to how a cable router is set up).

Then DHCP is handled by the router to my computers.(Ref URL http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/232249-28-modem-link-linksys-router) Sources: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/232249-28-modem-link-linksys-router .

Belkin Wireless G router used for four laptops disconnects ocassionaly AAh simple steps:1: Find your wireless channel and max it out, channel 11 is the top setting, then save it2: Next go to the website for the router and download the firmware upgrade from the site and then install it, make sure you have the right version and you can go here to the download section and get it from there.3: Make sure your all your info is correct on the primary computer the router is connected to.4: Save everything and then open a new window in your browser and see if anything comes up, if not then release your IP address and then renew it, and try again. If not then5: unplug everything including the cable to the router and then wait 5 minutes then plug your cable to the modem, then your modem to the computer and then turn the computer on. Now check your connection again and see what happens, hopefully doing the disconnect/reconnect method will fix this as I had I had a similar problem when I first ran my router.So let us know if the these steps work or not.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
