Linksys Wireless Router Issues?

I have a Linksys WTR54G wireless router. I use it for my laptop, iPhone, and gaming console. Everything normally connects fine with no issues.

However, the past few days I've noticed some strange occurrences. Recently when I try to access a page on my phone via the router, sometimes the page won't open or it will take an unusually long amount of time to do so. I have unplugged the router and the modem and replugged them both back in. The connection to the router has been re-established on the phone, but the same issues continue. I also have trouble connecting my PS3 to the online network at times.

I tried to use the wireless router on my laptop and everything is working as it should. There are no speed or connection issues to speak of.So, why is it that I have a hard time connecting through my phone and console but not my laptop? Each of which is connected wirelessly to the same router.

Can someone please explain?

It could be problems with the PS3 and Phone rather than the Router.

But you might try updating the firmware on your router, many versions of your hardware can even switch to DD-WRT or Open-WRT.

  • What's the difference between a cheap router and a good router? Just wanted to know the difference between a cheap router and an expensive router, I know that is a very broad question, I'm just a bit confused on how a router works. Does it increase my Internet speed on multiple devices? I get 50Mb per second, Well at least that's what I pay for. I have a PS3 two iPhones and a tablet, as well as a desktop PC that is wireless. Can anyone recommend an excellent router under $150

  • MY Linksys WRT54G doesn't connect to the internet through wi-fi? The router is connected to an ADSL modem. I do have internet connection on my PC that is connected to the router via Ethernet cable, but when I connect to the same router through Wi-Fi on my iPhone or Samsung Galaxy phone it shows that they are connected but I can't access the internet. Their browsers try to open the webpages but they fail after 10-15 seconds. I did try to remove the security options from the router. It didn't help. It's set on DHCP.
