What were you saying about posting the rest of pics from your avatar???

Did he correctly connected the linksys to the blink modem?

Once the internet was working before the linksys was purchased, you don't need to do any sort of configuration settings.

So let him double check the connections and follow the linksys manual directions.

OR
Unplug the power to the blink modem and plug it back to let it reboot itself.

internet works find,but when he connects it to the ethernet port,no connectivity.u seeing the wifi devices in the router settings.which includes his laptop,ipod touch and xbox 360

Try using the USB cable then.

You may have a bad Ethernet cable or bad ethernet port

reboot the wireless router then reboot the blink modem

Linksys should burn their instructions and cd's....

Try this
1. connect the modem's ethernet port to the internet port of your WRT54G router
2. connect the pc to the regular port 1 2 3 or 4 on the back of your router
3. turn off the modem, hold the routers reset button for 30 seconds then release it
4. restart the computer
5. access the routers setup page by opening internet explorer, then type - http://192.168.1.1
6. once youre prompted with a login, leave username blank password "admin"
7. go to MAC ADDRESS CLONE tab, enable this option, click CLONE YOUR PC'S MAC, then save settings
8. go back to setup tab, make sure internet connection type is set to - Automatic Configuration - DHCP
9. change the part where it says LAN IP address to 192.168.2.1
10.power off the router, then the computer for 1 minute
11. power on the modem first, then the router, lastly the computer (make sure you have the lights stable on the device before turning ON the next one...
12. try to get online after that

192.168.1.1 is the default ip of both devices. Simply connect to the linksys via cable on one of the lan ports and login via the ip in a browser.

You can set it up two ways:
Change the linksys to an address on another network e.g. 192.168.2.1 with the same netmask and plug the blink back into the WAN (internet) port.

OR

Change the Linksys ip to an ip on the same network e.g. 192.168.1.2 and turn off the dhcp option. Then you will have to plug the blink into one of the LAN ports.

Be sure to secure you wireless using WPA

Correct....
it doesnt matter which security you choose(WPA/WEP)...both can be cracked with ease

[besflickredo]

[Sky]

[bluesteel29]

[besflickredo]

I only configured the LAN ip an cloned the mac ip no security yet

[bluesteel29]

so if u try to connect the laptop alone to the wifi router u still gettin limited connectivity??

"cloned the mac ip" = ?

[TECH N FIZ]

jus change the ip on the linksys to 192.168.2.1

[gunsmoke]

I have the same router. The laptop isnt configured to use a LAN. You need to set up a Local Area Network Connection.
