I guess we can assume your cable modem and computers are fine then? Given your
description of equipment is this how you had it connected???
BEFCMU10 Lan Port ==> BEFSX41 Wan Port
BEFSX41 Lan Port ==> WRT54G Lan port
|
| ===> Desktop ethernet card
WRT54G (DHCP Disabled) ===> Wireless clients
Normally I fix things by asking myself a bunch of questions and then
testing/verifying each one, so....
Is the equipment running the latest release of their respective firmware? Did I
reset them to defaults after upgrading?
What is the proper MTU setting for the cable connection, is it set correctly in
the modem and router?
Are any QOS or Speed Tuning features in the firmware of the devices disabled?
If not, try it.
Is DHCP enabled only on the "primary router"?
Are all of the ethernet cables Cat5E? Are they in good shape?
How fast will data transfer from one PC on the LAN to another? (FTP works well)
Was the cable modem power cycled before/after connecting a new device to its
LAN port? (Required down here. Cable company seems to lock onto the MAC address
of whatever is connected directly to the cable modem. Takes at least a couple
of minutes for it to flush out of their system.)
Did the equipment get baked by stacking them w/o proper ventilation?

Subject: [H] Possible router faliure
<SNIP>
I have removed the wired router, reset it, and tried a new setup. No luck.
Removed wired router and tried to set up wireless as primary. I had no luck
with this as it does not recognize the wireless router. I have no idea why.
When all routers are connected the connected PC and laptop work perfectly,
except very, very slow. My email is so slow downloading that it occasionally
times out. Please yell if you need some more info.
I am sending this to two lists to warn those of you that are on both.
Sorry for the long post, but can anyone help?
Jeff
