Can't access 192.168.1.1 for settings on linksys wrt54g

MonKENy - did you try holding the Reset button down for 30 seconds while the router is plugged in/powered up? That should put it back to factory settings. So, if someone (whoever brought it to you) manually configured the network settings and disabled the DHCP server (which is what it sounds like from your descriptions), it would wipe those settings and put it back to factory defaults which should be a 192.168.1.0/24 network, 192.168.1.1 address for the router, etc.

It doesnt give me my default gateway. It stays blank with ipconfig /all

Then use the one listed as the DHCP server.

Yep have done it several times, did the 30-30-30 nothing changed

Then use the one listed as the DHCP server.

there is no DHCP for some reason

Plug your computer into a LAN port on the router. Statically set your computer to 192.168.1.2. Set the subnet for 255.255.255.0. Now see if you can access the router.

didnt work.

but can you ping it...

The GUI not working could be the side effect of the FW update gone wrong. I had a router that took a power hit, the GUI would no longer work for more than 10-15minutes after a reboot, but everything worked fine. I could ping it, telnet to it (DDWRT installed) and manage via telnet. A PITA for sure, but it still worked.

Your situation is a little different. setting up the Client Bridge may be difficult without GUI access.

edit: You should look into reflashing with TFTP

 

[Spineshank]

didnt work.

Either you have the router ip wrong or it needs to be reflashed. I would still do what I said and use TFTP to flash it.

 

[MonKENy]

ok anyone have time to step by step me through re flashing it?
