Hello,


I have Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty), and a Linksys Wiureless-G Broadband Router,
model number WRT54G2 V1

I can't seem to get my system to recognize it.  My old Windows Computer
sees it fine, but not Ubuntu.



How do you connect you computer to the router ? What do you call
recognize it ?


I have absolutely no idea what to do here.  Any suggestions?



If you don't see the wireless network, check that another computer can
see it. If so, check that the wireless hardware on your computer is
detected and handled by your Ubuntu system.
If you are connected through wired network, check the cable for the
connection. If the cable is ok, check that you get an IP. Then check the
IP (in the range of your local network).

I may be out of your problem since I may have misunderstood it.


It goes through the router to my other computer (windows), but not this
one (ubuntu).

Detlef Lechner gave me a URL.  I found instructions there.  It said:

Go into your router software - 192.168.1.1
On the Setup tab, select the subtab: Basic Setup

 From the pull down list box "Automatic Configuration -DHCP"
should be selected.

Router Name: WRT54G2
Host Name: leave blank
Domain Name: leave blank
MTU: Select "Manual"
Size: change to 1490

Now select the "Wireless" tab
Wireless Configuration: select "Manual"
Wireless Network Name (SSID): type in: Your SSID name here.
Wireless Channel: select 9 - 2.452GHz
Wireless SSID Broadcast: select "Enabled"

Now click on the sub tab: "Wireless Security"
Security Mode: Select WPA Personal
WPA Algorithms: select: TKIP
WPA Shared Key: type a secret key: (MUST BE 8 OR MORE CHARACTERS)
Group Key Renewal: 3600 seconds

Now click on the Security tab
Click on the check mark box next to all of the filters

Your done.

Like I said, I am not experienced in this...   He says to "go into the
router software," but my software which came with the router would be
for Windows and Mac, but not for Ubuntu.  How do I get software that
will work for Ubuntu?

I'd gone to http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/support/WRT54G2/download
and found downloads for this router, but none seem to be for Ubuntu/Linux.



Joseph,

Type in the address 192.168.0.1 or 1.1 in your browser. That will take
you to the "software" that is being talked about. You dont need software
for your OS, its on the router.

The software is more like a website inside the router. Its all web based.

If its a newer linksys leave the username blank and password is admin
otherwise try root and admin.

... I just looked at the link you posted, try no username and admin to
get in.

You dont need any drivers for the setup of the router.

Wade


Wade, please forgive me for my computer ignorance, but when you say
"browser," what do you mean?  Internet Browser???  If so, I'm timing out...

I believe the Linksys WRTG54 models default to having an IP address of
192.168.0.1

Unless you have changed it yourself of course.

It might be easier to move over to your Windows machine, open a
command line window (Hit WIndows-R and enter CMD in the box that pops
up).
In the command box that opens, enter "ipconfig" (without the quotes)

You're looking for the line that reads

Default Gateway:

The ip address after this is your routers ip address.
