Try powering off the router and the modem, wait 2 minutes, the power on the modem, let it reset for about a minute, then power on the router and see if it functions normally. If no go reset the router to defaults using the reset button. If still no go, then I'd say replace it

Your WIFI connector may be turned off go into your connections and see if not something may have turned it off a program or a virus or hack try restoring your computer to the day it was working or before and see if that fixes it if it does it was turned off by something. I would try to remember what you downloaded or installed and see if that caused it.

WPS button

I have a WRT54G router and there is no WPS button.

This is a cut and paste from Cisco engineer:
Wi-Fi Protected Setup or WPS is a somewhat new feature on most routers. However, I believe that the WRT54g was release prior to this feature. The installation disc for your wireless adapter is trying to circumvent network discovery and the process of entering a wireless password by using the WPS feature. Without using the installation disc to setup the adapter should still be able to connect to your Wi-FI network. Only use the disc to install the drivers for your wireless card and the wireless access utility. After you have done this:
1.Open the wireless utility and you should see available networks
2.Select your Wi-Fi network
3.If the network is open (not password proctected) you should be connected immediately
4.If the network is secured (password protected) then you will prompted to enter your password or preshared key
5.After entering the key you should be granted access to the network

I am trying to connect to my wi-fi at home using linksys router model wrt54g. My wi-fi works for my home computer but it is not working for my ipad. Do I need to upgrade the software on my router in...

I can't say 100% for sure, but usually if the wi-fi works for a computer, it should work for an iPad. Therefore, I highly doubt you'd have to upgrade the router.

All wired ports are sending and recieving data but, my wi fi won't appear.

This can be caused by basic wireless settings of the router or the old firmware of the device especially if you have wrt54g version 5/6 router. To check these settings, follow these steps:

  1. Using a computer that is plugged into the router directly with a network cable, open a web browser.
  2. In the "Address Bar" type http://192.168.1.1 and press Enter.
  3. A box should appear asking for a "User Name" and a "Password". Leave the "User Name" field empty, and type your WRT54G router password into the "Password" field (the default "Password" is admin) and click the OK button or press [Enter].
  4. The WRT54G "Setup" page should now appear. Click onto the Wireless page.
  5. When the "Wireless" page loads, you should be on the Basic Wireless Settings sub-section.

Please check the following:

  1. "Wireless Network Mode": should be Mixed.
  2. "Wireless Network Name": should not be linksys (if it is 'linksys", try a different SSID name like linksys123, or your last name).
  3. "Wireless Channel": if the channel is set to "6 - 2.437GHz", change it to either "1 - 2.412GHz", or "11 - 2.462GHz".
  4. "Wireless SSID Broadcast": should be Enable.
  5. Click on the Save Settings button toward the bottom of the page to save changes. Click Continue when rompted to reload the page.
  6. Next, click onto the Wireless Security page(under Wireless tab). Click the WPA sub-section (depending on your router firmware version, this sub-section might also be labeled "Wireless").
  7. The WRT54G settings have been changed. You can now configure your wireless adapters and software with the same settings as your router, and restart the computers to check the connections.

Note : Make sure as well the wireless switch of your laptop is on.

How do i protect my unsecured home wi-fi network? I have a Belkin router IP address 192.168.2.1.

To connect to your wireless router, it needs the router’s wireless settings configured and also needs the wireless cards in all the laptops and or computers to be configured with the router’s wireless settings. Then the laptops and desktop computers can communicate with your wireless router.

To set-up and secure the wireless router from unauthorized access, follow these steps: -
1. Connect the wireless router to your computer with a LAN cable.
2. Start your browser and enter the router's configuration URL IP address.
3. Enter the router setup, login and password
4. Change the admin password
5. Go to the wireless settings and change the default SSID and turn off SSID broadcast.
6. Setup encryption key the strongest is WPA2 (if not then WPA).
7. For further security measures - turn on MAC address filtering and enter the MAC address of the wireless cards on the computer/s you want to connect to this wireless router.
8. Record the settings you have made and keep it in a safe place and Save the settings.
9. Configure the wireless cards on the computer/s with the SSID and encryption settings of the router.
10. Remove the LAN cable between the router and the computer then the computers should be able to connect to the router wirelessly.

How do i connect MiFi2200 to a wrt54g?

I think this won't work...the MIFI device works as a wireless router that can supply 5 connections and runs on battery which last for 4 hours for one connection then goes down as more connections are in...the MIFI was designed for mobility as the WRT54G is not...I don't exactly know what your plans are but this won't work well.

The Verizon MiFi is a combination 3G modem and Wi-Fi router that is battery-operated for full mobility. Once the MiFi has been activated (more on that later) the device connects to the Verizon Mobile Broadband network (renamed from BroadbandAccess) simply by pushing the power button. In just a few seconds, the MiFi is connected to the 3G high-speed network and the Wi-Fi router takes over. The MiFi appears as a hotspot to any device with Wi-Fi capability, and making the Wi-Fi connection is as simple as entering the network security code which is printed on the back of the MiFi. That’s it: The notebook or other device is now connected to the Verizon network via Wi-Fi. The network code only has to be entered to make the first connection, after which it’s an automatic process. That’s the beauty of the MiFi method: Push the power button and the laptop/UMPC/phone is connected to 3G.

Youe broadband router is working ok with the broadband cable.So it is configured with the broadband cable.Now,to work with the wireless internet,you have to configured the wi-fi router to work internet.You can see the wi-fi connection but unless & untill you will configure wi-fi router it must not work or if before it was working with the wi-fi then you can check the wi-fi router setting because it might change by mistake.Surely it will work after configurating wi-fi router.
