Q. I have a Linksys WRT54G Version 5 router. I upgraded my firmware a while ago and not long after the routers wireless stopped working. I read on the Linksys website that you should hold the reset button for 30 seconds after an upgrade then unplug the router and plug it back in. Could not holding the reset button after an upgrade cause issues?
A. After a firmware upgrade, even if you reset the router, the latest firmware version will still be present. So it's impossible to undo a fimware upgrade just by resetting it (this is the reason why every manufacturer draws attention to the fact that firmware upgrade must not be interrupted becase you could end up destroying the router). Resetting the router will revert it to the factory defaults, but they refer ONLY to the settings (ip address, routing table, password, encryption or whatever settings you have made) not to the firmware.
Usually a firmware upgrade does not require a general reset. But you must take into account that there are differences between firmware versions and the settings which worked for the previous firmware version might not be compatible with the new version. For instance, Trendnet draws attention to the fact that after a firmware upgrade you will lose all the settings that corresponded to the previous version.
Only the manufacturer knows if the previous settings will work with the new firmware version. There might be minor upgrades which don't require resetting the router, but if the manufacturer states that the new firmware needs resetting then you should to this.

Is there a way to get your router username and password without resetting your router?
Q. I have a linksys wrt54g router. I want to get the password and username so i can change the mac address restrictions. I want to obtain this without doing a reset.
A. if the credentials are standard out of the box - you could check its website on what that make/model is set to.
If it has been changed from standard (which is a good idea) - then you will probably have to reset to standard.

Do i need to enable my IP routing and Proxy and DHCP in order to get internet connection?
Q. i have a vista hp dv2000. computer shows me internet connection however, it says im "local only" and i cannot connect to the net. i think it also has something to do with the router settings (linksys WRT54G) : i just recently reset it. because of the connection problem, i thought that would work. but no luck. > i also have a MAC pc which connects perfectly fine even after i reset the router.* but the HP is giving me hell. help please.
A. Make sure that your network IP settings are dynamic rather then static. DHCP is a service provided by your router, and if your Mac can connect to your computer that should not be the problem. It is try that your PC has a problem with DHCP but it is unlikely.
Try releasing and renewing your IP.
