Linksys WRT54G and Globe Broadband problem

You'll have to disable the DHCP server on one of them. You can't have two running at one time. Try that first.

 

Moyzee, you have the ProLink H9200P modem right? And it's colored gray. Ok so please follow these instructions, patiently:

1. The ProLink is actually a modem-router so its LAN IP is 192.168.1.1 which also happens to be the default LAN IP of your Linksys. Both these devices also give out IP addresses via DHCP.
2. So, hook up your Mac to the Linksys and make sure nothing else is connected but the power (on both of course! LOL)
3. Check your Mac's IP when it's connected to the Linksys. You should get 192.168.1.100++.
4. Hit up 192.168.1.1 on Safari and you should get a prompt. Leave UN blank and type "admin" on the PW. That should take you to the router page.
5. Set-up the wireless first as we would be losing access to the router page in the next few steps which should resolve your issue.
6. Go to Wireless, set up a name for your WiFi network, set channel up to 11 or whatever you want. Then save settings.
7. Once you're done, go back to the Main Page and set the "Default LAN IP" to 192.168.1.2 and DISABLE DHCP. Hit save. Done.
8. Power the Linksys off. Hook it up to the ProLink 1-to-1 or 2-to-2 for port-to-port (doesn't matter) and power it back up.
* No need to use the Internet/WAN port on the Linksys router--remember this!
9. Try WiFi on the Mac and you should be able to get online.

I'm just bored at work. Ate lunch all too early.

 

Perhaps you have already tried to set that up earlier, so please make sure to press and hold the reset button in for 20s with only the power cord connected to it and nothing else. And follow my instructions above ^^. Good luck and let me know how it works out!

 

I also have the same setup. I'm not sure if it is already stated, but what you want to do is to use your linksys as a bridge instead of a router. The linksys must inherit the DHCP given by the prolink.

With this, you will connect an ethernet cable from your prolink going to the swich port (not internet port) of your linksys. In this way, you are like connecting your Internet and your computer (wireless or otherwise) to a hub where they will meet each other.

 

That should work.

 

oh this is welcome news I asked globe before and said only their wireless routers work and cannot be used with routers bought outside...

 

johnj2803, it's their other way of saying "we do not support third party wireless routers"

moyzee222, what pael and ricpac suggested should work.

in addition, you mentioned that it is asking for a WEP key. if you don't know the WEP key you need to access the GUI of your linksys then to to wireless settings then look for the wep key.

 

i have a linksys WRT4G & i had a problem connecting it to my globebroadband supplied router (siemens gigaset se565). i didn't have a hard time when i using my linksys w/ smartbro. but w/ globe, i gave up after multiple trial & errors. i ended up getting an apple express

 

Glad you got it working.

Good job!

 

bugs,

first go to your linksys router
username: admin
password: admin

1. go to basic setup
2. in internet setup (internet Connection Type) choose "Static IP"
(because your Globe Broadband Router gives you dynami IP)

Internet IP Address: 192.168.254.3
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.254.254
Static DNS1 : 192.168.254.254

3. to Network Setup
Rrouter IP Address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
4. Enabled your DHCP Server
5. and go to advanced Routing
in operating mode choose "Gateway"
6. last Click on "Save Setting"
restart your 2 routers.
connect your cable to siemens SE565 to WAN/Internet Port of your Linksys router

DONE....

 

wow tnx man!

 

we just got our globe wireless broadband but i cant use it with our linksys router... our modem is the zte mf600... anybody knows how to set these things up? any help would be greatly appreciated

 

a globe subscriber here and also plan to buy the Linksys Wrtg54 model. Prolink model is ADSL2+ will it aslo work with the said model? How about the Dlink and Netgear brand?

 

im also planning to buy the WRTG54 wireless router and i have a few questions :
how can you configure it with a Prolink Hurricane 5200? is the configuration same from ricpac's instructions? any input will be appreciated thanks in advance.

 

Just post the type of modem (brand and how many Ethernet ports in the back) you have from Globelines or Globe Broadband and I'll help out. Also, you have got to let me know the IP address your computer is getting when it's hooked up straight to the modem. And I can give you the solution.

 

same here.. globe just installed a wired broadband connection, they gave us a prolink hurricane 5200 modem router, and it won't work with our linksys wrt54g router, i've tried changing the local ip address to 196.168.1.2 but i still cant connect to the web...

called globe, they said the hurricane 5200 isn't compatible with my linksys router, i have to bring it to a globe business center and have it changed with one that is compatible with my linksys....

but ive been seening stuff on the internet where they get this same set up working... i must be doing somethign wrong... help?

 

I have the Hurricane 5200 too and it works alright with my WRT350N. The only issue I have is Globelines. I've been down since 9AM this morning up until now (I'm MUGging from work). The ADSL light keeps on blinking and doesn't blink too fast to get the Internet light to come on. And calling the hotline will not give you anything but a reference number.

@juanegg, here's what you need to do.

First: reset the router. Make sure only the power adapter is connected, press and hold the reset button for 10s or so. You will notice the reset if you look at the lights. Then powercycle once done (turn it off for a minute and turn it back on).

Second: hook up your Mac to it, access 192.168.1.1 on Safari. Change the router's LAN IP to 192.168.2.1, hit save. Done. Setup your wireless settings via 192.168.2.1 (you changed it right?). And that should do it.

If it doesn't work, I'd ship my WRT350N to you.

Yikes!
