Connecting fios to netgear

Im staying with my family and I would like to connect my computer using my netgear wna 1100 to the internet and they have verizon fios actiontec ,I tried doing this but it says theres no or limited connectivity due to no network address? Does anyone know of a step by step procedure for setting this up,not sure Im putting in the right info and network key numbers?

NETGEAR WNA1100‑100ENS USB 2.0 N150 Wireless Adapter
If that is what you mean by netgear WNA 1100, then all you need is the right Wireless info to connect.
If they have FiOS TV then you just have to click menu > customer support > my wireless network and then it will provide you the SSID and WPA or WEP key and instructions on how to connect.

Trouble Connecting MacBook to Netgear WGT624

Hello, I just got a MacBook and am having trouble connecting to my netgear WGT624 wireless router. We've had the router for some time with a PC connected via ethernet. This is the first time trying to connect wirelessly.
I click on System Preferences.
Then Network.
Then Connect.
Under the Network drop down menu, I have two Network choices available...our router's name, and another name, probably a nearby wireless router.
When I choose our router, I get the pinwheel thingy spinning around, and then a message: "There was an error joining the AirPort network "router name here."
When I click on the other nearby network name, I get connected, and the signal strength is 4 out of 15.
What do I need to do to connect to my home's wireless router?

No need to re-install software. There should be a reset button or hole somewhere on the router. Either press the button or use a paper clip inside the hole for about 10 seconds. This should reset your router to all the default settings.
From there, once you log onto your router's setup screen, you will need to put in your regular settings (username, password, security settings, etc.). If you use security, your neighbor should not be able to access to your wireless connection.
Good Luck.

I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list.

I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list. I've confirmed the mac address is included on that list and that the password is correct. Under choses netwrok I select the network and it just goes into a spin. I have tried removing the password and the access list settings and it still will not complete the connection to the router thus no internet access. The routers firmware is also up to date. This thing worked fine before this update and I've already tried to restore from backup. Any ideas or is the wifi nic bad in this thing with the new apple firmware update? Any fix?

Thanks Bob, I don't know why but it all of a sudden worked a few days later. It's a mystery but at least problem solved.

I cannot get my Apple TV to connect to my Netgear router. I can get it to connect if I disable the security for the password but once I enable it it won't connect.

I have an issue with connecting to my Netgear router. I have tried a lot of different options on my router but the only way I can get it to connect is to disable my security password and I don't want to leave my network exposed without a password. I have tried resetting, updating my software and restarting the Apple TV. I just bought this last week and haven't gotten to use it yet.

then it throws and error message.
What is the error message?

Help- can't connect airport to Netgear router?

I posted yesterday then thought I had solved the problem but I hadn't so here goes again:
I've never used Airport before, so i'm green
I have a G4 sawtooth tower connected to a Netgear wireless router MR814v2.
I don't think I have an airport card in the tower unless it came as orig equipment.
Anyway 2 G4's ( both OS 10.3.9) are connected to the router by ethernet cable and a PC laptop has a Netgear wireless card that also connects it.
The 2 G4's share internet, file sharing and printer access - no problem.
The PC laptop shares internet, but I've been unable to figure out how to get it to share printer or files - not too big a deal -
Now I just bought a 1.5GHz Powerbook that has Airport Extreme in it (running Tiger) (second hand no apple care anymore). I hit the little icon in the upper left corner for airport, and it shows my Network - Good.
But when I click on the network it asks for a WEP Password - I have no idea what Password to use.
I've tried everything connected to my router that I can think of, everything related to adminstrative passwords and I always get - "error connecting to network" ( or something like that)
Do have to set something else up, create a password, or is it another problem?
I found on the netgear website that I needed to download a firmware update for the router to make it work with airport extreme.
OK I did that, still doesn't work.
I can connect fine to my neighbors linksys network that doesnot require a password.
Also do I need to set up another email address for this machine?
I can't log into the same email address on 2 machines at the same time can I?

Open the Netgear configuration page. Go to the wireless settings. On my Netgear, the encryption password is visible.
If the password isn't visible on yours, simply change the password to something new.
Also do I need to set up another email address for this machine?
No
I can't log into the same email address on 2 machines at the same time can I?
Sure. If you are using an IMAP account and have the settings to leave the messages on the server everything will work well. If you are using a POP account it can become confusing because the first one to check mail will get messages and remove them from the server. So one may see messages that the other doesn't.

Connect fios cable to pc.

How do i connect fios cable to my pc and use the signal with Windows Media center. I have connected the fios cable directly to the back of my pc. (RF in) When I try to set up tv in Windows Media center it cannot find the tv signal. Is there another piece of hardware I need to use? I am also using an hp (external) tuner. Channels will change but no picture, just static screen.

the only way for you to plug a coax cable directly in is if you have a tv tuner card that has QAM 256 support.
a lot of cable cards don't, you may need to plug a STB in the middle of it for it to work
so wall coax to stb, stb coax to your PC.

Cannot automatically connect to my Netgear Router

Hi,
When I turn on my Mac Book Air (2011) it will not automatically connect to my Netgear WNDR3400 on either the 2.4ghz or 5ghz bandwidth. When I over at a friends house I able to connect automatically to a linksys or cisco router. Do you know what the issue could be? Thank you.
David

Someone from the Netgear forum solved my issue. My mac air was trying to use WPA instead of WPA2. Once I removed the saved network and added it back it works great.

My iPhone 4 will not connect to my Netgear home wi-fi

I have a Verizon iPhone 4. I cannot connect to my Netgear home wi-fi. My iMac connects perfectly as do other computers in the house. I can see the network in the wi-fi settings area and have input my password 10 digits but it will not connect. Connects to other wi-fi networks fine. Netgear's support forums aren't much help. Has anyone had this issue and been able to overcome it?

This can usually be fixed by rebooting the router (turn it off for 15 seconds). If that doesn't fix it update the firmware (which you said you have done, but check the version in the router and compare to the latest version on Netgear's web site).
The other possibility is that you have enabled MAC filtering on the router and the iPhone's WiFi address is not in the "allow" table on the router.
As it works with other networks the problem is your router, not the phone.

Can I Show Time Connected When Using Netgear DG834 Wireless Router ?

When I had an old SpeedTouch USB Modem I could see the time I had been connected to the internet from a readout in the menu along the top of the monitor.
Is there a way of displaying or ascertaining this information using the Netgear DG834 wireless router?
I have discovered that by opening the Router Satus and clicking on "Connected Status" I can get a window displaying this info - but is there a quicker "automatic" way of doing it?
Ian.

Hi Ian,
Interesting one…
When you connect via a USB modem the computer is 'doing' the connecting using the modem so the computer has the 'time connected' status available locally. In the case of a router it is connected to the internet irrespective of the computer's status; on, off, sleep, or even, connected to the router. The only way you're going to get the info is from the router itself and, unless it has a setting whereby it will automatically 'inform' the computer of its connected time, I think you're going to have to carry on as you are.
I don't know that particular Netgear but used to have a different one until a thunderstorm fried it. I don't remember it having such a setting. My current Belkin certainly hasn't.
I'm quite interested to know why you want this info. Are you on some kind of PAYG tariff?

Why can't I connect to my NETGEAR router all of a sudden?

This one is baffling me. So I have a wireless network set up in my apartment using a Netgear router. I've had it up and running for months without any problems. As of last night, my Macbook Pro has been unable to connect to it. It can recognize it along with all the other networks in the area but when I try to join it and enter my password, it says the password is invalid. Before, I never even had to enter a password other than the time I set it up. My xbox, ipod, etc. can still connect to the network just fine using the same password. I switched to Windows on my Macbook and was still able to connect on that side, and I could see that my password was still the same as I remembered. For whatever reason, I cannot connect to the router from the Mac side, even with the correct password, without it telling me the password is invalid and kicking me out. I've tried resetting the router, resetting the computer multiple times, changing the network's name and password, and everything else I can think of. I'm all out of ideas. Any thoughts? Thank you!

Connect Fios to Cat5e home network AND Coax connections?

My Verizon fios system was recently installed. My home is wired for a Cat5e home network and standard Coax in all rooms. The fios system is currently connected to the Coax connections and the TVs and Fios router all work fine. Problem is that I would also like to use the Cat5e connections for devices that access the internet that don't have wireless capability and are not proximate to the Fios router. Is it possible to connect the ONT to my Cat5e home network so that I can connect other devices directly to the Cat5e outlets, and keep the existing Coax set-up?
I understand that the standard Fios set-up only allows using either an Ethernet output or the Coax output, but not both. Any suggestions?
One option might be to move the router to the basement (where the equipment is located that I want to connect to the Cat5e network), but then the router will likely be too far from the rest of the house to receive the wireless signal. In that case, is it possible to connect a wireless router in another location (I have a Belkin wireless router). Or do I need to get another router from Verizon?

DC_Sox_Fan wrote:
I just spoke to Verizon Fios Tech Support and they claim that it is NOT possible to use both the Coax and Cat5e connections. So, for those that have a Cat5e home network, but still want to use th Coax for TV, Verzon says you are out of luck.
Thats not strickly true but its not bad info either. You cant use both the coax and cat5 at the same time for INTERNET. The coax internet port (moca) is not active at the same time as the ethernet port. However, many systems use the ethernet for internet and coax for TV.
Depending on how your house is set up this can be accomplished many different ways.
I would assume that you have some kind of utility closet were all the ethernet cables converge, where you could place the router so that it can connect to all the rooms. Is this correct? If so, is there also a coax connection in there? Again, if so, you could place the verizon router in the closet, connect the coax to the router for the link to verizon and the TV's and then connect the ethernet to the lan for the rest of the house. This would be the simplest way assuming that you have this type of connection available to you. there are many other ways but it would all depend on what you have available to you and how your house wiring is set up

Connecting airport extreme, netgear dsl modem, windows 7, and Macbook pro

I'm having a problem connecting my airport extreme to my netgear modem, windows 7 pc and my Macbook Pro. Until a few days ago, I had a Westell wireless dsl modem and everything worked fine. Now, the only way I can connect to the internet is through my desktop pc and the hardwired modem.

If your goal is to extend/boost the range of your Netgear router with either or both of the AirPorts, this will not work wirelessly ... at least, not completely by wireless. That is because, WDS is not standard and each manufacturer has had creative license to implement it as they see fit for their products.
Instead, you have at least two other choices to use the Netgear (as the main Internet router) with the AirPorts:
Connect one AirPort directly to the Netgear by Ethernet, and then, configure both AirPorts for an extended wireless network. In this configuration, you would be running two separate wireless networks; one created by the Netgear, and the second the extended network created by the AirPorts.
Connect both AirPorts directly to the Netgear by Ethernet, and then, configure all of the routers for a roaming network. In this configuration, there would be a "single" wireless network where wireless network clients can literally roam from one router to another and still be on the "same" wireless network.

Connecting T5 to Netgear WiFi router

I have been trying to connect my T5 using the Palm WiFi card to my Netgear DG834G ADSL WiFi router and have read the very helpful check list provided on your site as well as the other correspondence. I started with the usual problem of the thing disconnecting after trying to download the IP and worked up to manual entry of IPs and DNSs etc.
So far I have :-
Found the T5 MAC and entered it as a trusted device in the router.
From the router itself I have found :-
The two DNS values (these are for the ADSL port?)
The hex 128 bit Key (all 4 are the same) and checked it against a separate key generator using the phrase I entered when I set the router up with the P.C.
The following IP address information:- For the ADSL port:- the IP address and it’s mask, network type (PPPoa), the IP address for the gateway and the two DNS values. I have also found the IP address for the router LAN port.
Loading these in various combinations into the T5 setup in manual causes the unit to seem to log on and display the field strength. But Blazer etc does not work. If I change the WEP key to make it wrong it logs on in the same way, which is very suspicious!
I have managed to get the T5 to download the IP address in auto (after setting it as a trusted device in the router) by switching to ad-hoc and it returns a message saying that it has "connected". Checking the network "info" in prefs/WiFi then shows an IP not found in the router information with it’s mask. However, no DNS info or IP address in the line called "Router" shows up and although the response from Blazer is different (quick connect and URL rejection), nothing works. Manually entering the DNSs with auto IP recovery in ad-hac did not change anything.
I have been through entering the WEP key in hex etc.
Of all the IP address information available, which ones should be entered in the three fields required on the T5? The DNS values relate to the ADSL port. Is this OK.
I would welcome any suggestions. I have yet to try it at a remote site, but I am sure the basic kit is OK, just finger trouble !!!
Thanks in advance

Russel, you haven't mentioned if you have the router's comm. speed set to be compatible with an 802.11/b device.
Do you have this setting correct?
