I am having trouble setting up my router to connect to the Internet. I am currently renting a basement unit and I have an Ethernet port running upstairs to the owner's floor. I have verified that port is active by plugging my desktop into that port and being able to access the Internet. I have also verified that all the Ethernet cables are working.



I have a Linksys WRT54GL flashed with Tomato 1.28. The 'Internet' light on my router is lit up, and the Tomato 'Status Overview WAN Gateway' IP address is 192.168.1.1. I have currently tried plugging my computer's ethernet cable to the back of the router, and connecting my phone to my router's WiFi.



Is there anything further I can do to debug why my router cannot connect to the Internet?



Here are my Tomato logs. I'm not sure why the date is Dec 31.

    I am having trouble setting up my router to connect to the Internet. I am currently renting a basement unit and I have an Ethernet port running upstairs to the owner's floor. I have verified that port is active by plugging my desktop into that port and being able to access the Internet. I have also verified that all the Ethernet cables are working.



    I have a Linksys WRT54GL flashed with Tomato 1.28. The 'Internet' light on my router is lit up, and the Tomato 'Status Overview WAN Gateway' IP address is 192.168.1.1. I have currently tried plugging my computer's ethernet cable to the back of the router, and connecting my phone to my router's WiFi.



    Is there anything further I can do to debug why my router cannot connect to the Internet?



    Here are my Tomato logs. I'm not sure why the date is Dec 31.

      I am having trouble setting up my router to connect to the Internet. I am currently renting a basement unit and I have an Ethernet port running upstairs to the owner's floor. I have verified that port is active by plugging my desktop into that port and being able to access the Internet. I have also verified that all the Ethernet cables are working.



      I have a Linksys WRT54GL flashed with Tomato 1.28. The 'Internet' light on my router is lit up, and the Tomato 'Status Overview WAN Gateway' IP address is 192.168.1.1. I have currently tried plugging my computer's ethernet cable to the back of the router, and connecting my phone to my router's WiFi.



      Is there anything further I can do to debug why my router cannot connect to the Internet?



      Here are my Tomato logs. I'm not sure why the date is Dec 31.

      I am having trouble setting up my router to connect to the Internet. I am currently renting a basement unit and I have an Ethernet port running upstairs to the owner's floor. I have verified that port is active by plugging my desktop into that port and being able to access the Internet. I have also verified that all the Ethernet cables are working.



      I have a Linksys WRT54GL flashed with Tomato 1.28. The 'Internet' light on my router is lit up, and the Tomato 'Status Overview WAN Gateway' IP address is 192.168.1.1. I have currently tried plugging my computer's ethernet cable to the back of the router, and connecting my phone to my router's WiFi.



      Is there anything further I can do to debug why my router cannot connect to the Internet?



      Here are my Tomato logs. I'm not sure why the date is Dec 31.

          I would guess that the problem is due to both of the router's interfaces (both WAN & LAN) having overlapping or even identical network numbering.



          You say that the router picked up 192.168.1.1 as the upstream WAN gateway (the network is likely 192.168.1.0/24), and your DHCP server logs show that it's offering 192.168.1.x addresses as well (the LAN network is again likely to be 192.168.1.0/24). Some routers are able to cope with this situation, but nevertheless it's a situation I'd run away from.



          So if you want to use it in full 'router' mode, try changing your router's LAN configuration to use addresses from e.g. 192.168.2.x or such. (It can be any private address range as long as it doesn't overlap with the "WAN" addressing.)



          (You could also use the device in 'bridge' mode; instead of creating your own separate LAN, it'd directly place all your devices on the owner's main LAN. Though in this particular case I'd be hesitant to switch to bridge mode due to security/privacy concerns, but if it were a 2nd router for your own WAN, bridging would be the preferred option.)




          The date is Dec 31 because the router has no better clock information yet – without Internet access it cannot synchronize from NTP servers; it likely has no battery-powered clock to retain time from previous time; and you haven't set the clock manually yet either.

          Based on your logs and post, I posit that the issue is that both routers are using the same 192.168.1.0/24 (or possibly bigger range) for IP addresses, thus computers on the LAN of the router that is not working can't route correctly.



          The easiest fix might be to change this routers config so that the LAN is on 10.0.0.0 (netmask 255.255.255.0 will work fine), ie set the routers LAN IP address to 10.0.0.1.

            @Criggie 's numbers are a bit off. The x is 16 through 31 (inclusive), the y is zero through 254. (Based on the famous IETF BCP5, more commonly known by the older title of "RFC 1918")

          Based on your logs and post, I posit that the issue is that both routers are using the same 192.168.1.0/24 (or possibly bigger range) for IP addresses, thus computers on the LAN of the router that is not working can't route correctly.



          The easiest fix might be to change this routers config so that the LAN is on 10.0.0.0 (netmask 255.255.255.0 will work fine), ie set the routers LAN IP address to 10.0.0.1.

          • You're totally right, but its a lot more convenient when people don't use the common 10/8 or 10.0.0/24 or 192.168.[01]/24. I like to suggest 172.x.y.0 /24 where x is 0-254, and based on their birthday or street number or flat/apartment number or even their shoe size, and y is another (but between 16 and 31) Its a much less common RFC1918 range and less likely to conflict.

            You have reversed.X and Y. (Your solution is valid but I don't think using random class Cs in a subnet. Also, this range is tricky because people dont recognise it and its got an unusual netmask - making it slightly harder for "sort-of network technicians" - like your tyical mom and pop computer store to support.)

            @grawity, I was unclear -172.16 is a /12 - Many people would not recognise 172.21 is RFC1918 space while 172.42 isnt. Most people would recognise that 192.170 is not RFC1918 though.
