I have a cable connection at my house VIA brighthouse networks. Standard cable service yadda yadda. We have the modem they installed, and I have a linksys WRT54G for wireless and an EG005W gigabit switch for hard-wire local gigabit lan.
Using the single wire from the modem, I can get an internet signal no problem to ONE computer. But as soon as I connect it to my WRT54G, I cannot get a wireless signal to any computers. The computers can connect to the router, but there is no internet. When you go to do a windows repair, it says there is a problem with the DNS. Windows says it can connect to the primary DNS, but isnt getting shit from it.
Heres what I've done/am getting:
I can login to the router, and to a DHCP renew/release, the router renews and releases the DNS just fine, all the numbers renew, IP, etc.
I've tried unplugging pwoer chords for one second, five seconds, thirty seconds, etc.
I'm doing modem -> WRT54G -> GB switch
I have WAP2 personal security, G-only mode on my own channel (channel 3 2.4XX GHZ)
When I connect the WRT54G to the modem, the data light will blink even if no one has any activity or no one is connected to the router.
I have to reset the modem after connecting it to the WRT54G to get my connection back while using the single eth. line from the modem
I've tried calling linksys/brighthouse (ISP) but they all suck at life
It seems as if the signal isnt being routed. I have the modem cable in the WAN port on the WRT54G, not the LAN, which is where it should be....
Everything else is connected right/default...
...but still no internets...ideas?
