Introduction

This manual guides you through the process of setting up the Linksys WRT54GL

Wireless-G Broadband Router with a basic level of security or password

protection. The router enables any electronic device to access the Internet via

wired or wireless connection. The router is capable of broadcasting wireless up

to the speed of 54Mbps on a wide range of frequency spectrum. This router

comes with security features such as Stateful Packet Inspection(SPI) firewall, Wi-fi

Protected Access II(WPA II), and Network Address Translation(NAT). This Router is

easy to manage and has a user-friendly web-based setup page.

1. Power: The Power LED lights up green and will stay on while the Router is

powered on. The LED will flash when the Router goes through its self-diagnostic

mode during every boot-up. After the diagnostic is complete, the LED will be

solidly lit.

2. Demilitarized Zone(DMZ): This LED will light up and stay green as long as the

DMZ feature is being used.

3. Wireless Local Area Network(WLAN): The WLAN LED lights up green when the

wireless feature is enabled. If the LED is flashing, the Router is actively sending or

receiving data over the network.

4. Ethernet LEDS(1-4): These numbered LEDs correspond with the numbered ports

on the Router’s back panel and serve two purposes. If the LED is continuously lit,

the Router is successfully connected to a device through that port. A flashing

LED basically indicates that the port is engaged in a network activity.

5. Internet LED: The Internet LED lights up green when there is a connection

made through the Internet port. A flashing LED indicates network activity over

the Internet port.

6. Cisco Logo LED: This indicator lights up soon as the device is powered on. This

logo lights up in two colors: orange and white. The white color states that the

router is using Cisco’s SecureEasySetup(SES) feature. SES feature makes it easy to

setup a wireless network and it can be used by running the setup program from

the router’s Setup Wizard CD-ROM that comes with the package. On the other

hand, the logo will light up and stay orange when it is not using SES.

Basic Troubleshooting:

Your computer cannot connect to the Internet.

Sherpa 9

Make sure that the Router is powered on. The Power LED should

be green and not flashing. If the Power LED is flashing, then

power off all of your network devices, including the modem,

Router, and computers. Then power on each device in the

following order:

O Cable or DSL modem

O Router

O Computer

Check the cable connections. The computer should be

connected to one of the ports numbered 1-4 on the Router, and

the modem must be connected to the Internet port on the

Router.

The Router does not have a coaxial port for the cable connection.

The Router does not replace your modem. You still need your cable

modem in order to use the Router. Connect your cable connection

to the cable modem, insert the setup CD into your computer, and

then follow the on‑screen instructions.

The computer cannot connect wirelessly to the network.

Make sure the wireless network name or SSID is the same on both

the computer and the Router. If you have enabled wireless security,

then make WRT54GL User Guide sure the same security method and

key are used by both the computer and the Router.

You need to modify the settings on the Router.

Open the web browser (for example, Internet Explorer or Firefox),

and enter the Router’s IP address in the address field (the default IP

address is 192.168.1.1). When prompted, leave the User name field

blank and enter the password to the Router (the default is admin).

Click the appropriate tab to change the settings.
