I need help setting up a wireless network and getting connected to the internet. I have a RCN cable modem now and tried to install a wireless linksys today and it was a disaster

I have a MAC desktop and RCN cable that I have internet through now. I tried to set up a linksys wireless router today and could not get the network settings right, or figure out how to create the network, or get connected. I was successfull for only a few minutes because my phone and laptop had picked up the signal. However my desktop still would not connect to the internet. I had to restart my cable modem after because even after returning to directly inserting the desktop to the modem I could not get on the internet. I am able to get on now but would like to have wireless for my laptop and phone. Do I have to have an Apple router? Are there any easy steps I can take to set up a network without doing any damage to my desktop? I am so lost and have been getting pop ups and even my time changed.
Please help a new person to Apple!

why dont you go to linksys.com/downloads and get the quick install for your adpter

NB200 Can connect to wireless networks, but cannot connect to the internet

I have been able to connect my Win XP netbook to my secure wireless network at home, other people's networks and public networks like the library and McDonalds. This week I'm away from home and discovered that while I can still connect to a number of different wireless networks, I cannot connect to the internet using Internet Explorer.
I've had this problem once before and fixed it by reinstalling Windows XP and all my other software. I have no idea why it has happened again. I'm hoping for a less drastic solution to the problem..?

Hi Nakia,
> I cannot connect to the internet using Internet Explorer.
Have you tested other browsers like Mozilla Firefox and does this work?
As MasterG wrote try to renew the IP address using the commend line.
Last week I had a similar problem and I could solve it by updating the WLAN driver. Just remove the driver, restart the notebook and install the newest one. :)

Apple TV connects to the network but cannot connect to the internet.

Apple TV connects to the network but cannot connect to the internet. Works on other Apple TV's we have just not this new one. Defective??? Thank you!

This might help:
Apple TV (2nd gen.) saw my wireless network but did not accept my password (gave a network error message). It fixed instantly doing this:
Made a note of the Apple TV's MAC address. Get it by pressing Menu on the remote, then Settings > General > About. It's called "WiFi address."
Use your browser on a network connected computer to go to your router settings (usually 192.168.1.1).
Under "Wireless > Wireless MAC Filter" (or something similar) do these steps:
Enable Wireless MAC filter
Enable "Permit PCs listed below to access the wireless network"
Enter the Apple TV's MAC address
Click "Save Setting"
When I did this the network connection immediately started working.
Note: These instructions are based on a Cisco Wireless-N Broadband, model WRT160Nv2, firmware v2.0.02.

Why do I see: iTunes Help is unavailable because your computer isn't connected to the Internet. IE9 works fine but iTunes does not connect to the store.

I have tried 4 days to get iTunes 10.4 working on my Win7 x64 machine. I purchased a new iPhone4 and after syncing it the first time, I can't connect to the iTunes store.
When I try to run iTunes Help, I get this message "iTunes Help is unavailable because your computer isn’t connected to the Internet." However IE9 and Google Chrome run as always...... no connection problems.
I have already uninstalled IE9 x64 and iTunes 10.4 x64 and reinstalled but still the same. I followed all the instructions I could find about firewalls, ports, SSL etc.

Your Apple TV is connected to your wi fi network but cannot connect to the internet. Airplay logo not available on ipad3, iPod touch3g and showing intermittently in iTunes on windows laptop. Switched ISP a few days ago. Entered pass key info on all.

I switched ISP a few days ago and had problems with airplay since. After restarting and reinstalling and updating, re entering pass keys for new wi fi on everything, Apple TV shows: Your Apple TV is connected to your wi fi network but cannot connect to the Internet. Ipad3 and iPod touch 3G have no airplay icon or get one briefly then it disappears again. Same with itunes on windows laptop.
Can anyone help?
Bob

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

TS1398 my ipad is connected to my wifi network but won,t connect to the internet, i have tried resetting network settings but it still won't work.

my i pad is connected to my wifi network bt won't connect to the internet I have tried resetting network connections. it will connect to the internet from my phone hot spot

Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power to it for 30 seconds.

I have a Mac Book Pro, lately if the laptop has been at rest for the night, I need to restart it to get connectivity to the internet. What can I do to cure this problem?

Need Help setting up 2 wireless internet computers with 54g wireless router

I setup the 54g wireless router using the setup disk. It appears to have worked find and the first laptop has wireless internet. I am not familiar with setting up a totally wireless network so I am not sure if I did the rest right. I then setup the 54g wireless internet router on the 2nd computer. It appears to have loaded but will not connect to the internet. I looked at the linksys setup etc... for both computers and all is the same including the WPA key, IP address, and the rest. No differences noted. I have no idea why the 2nd computer does not have wireless internet access. It has wired access only. The 2nd computer shows the wireless network but won't connect to it. I click on it and hit refresh and nothing happens. I am at a loss as to what to do now.
With 2 wireless computers, must there be a main computer and a secondary computer? The 1st computer also doesn't have access to windows network setup for some reason. It tells me to go to the knowledge base at microsoft.com and look up 871122. No idea why the windows network setup is not working. It did work before I got a new cable service provider and modem. However, the windows network setup is working on the 2nd computer. Any help is appreciated.

does the 2nd computer even need the router info loaded into it like the 1st computer or should it be enough that the wireless network was created on the 1st computer? In other words, would having the router info loaded in both computers cause the 2nd one to not connect? I have spent hours on this and I am very confused now.
My router connects fine to the cable modem. the 1st computer connects fine to the router and gets the wireless internet without a problem. Again, the 2nd computer shows the network name but won't connect to it. help please!!

Need help setting up ftp/home network

I am hoping someone can help me here.
I have an emac, imac dv se, and 2 powerbooks. They are all connected to the internet via airport cards. I want to allow all of these devices to access a firewire drive that is connected to the emac AND make those files accessible to me and my wife over the internet. what is the easiest way to do this and what additional hardware/software do I need?
thanks in advance for the assistance!
emac 1 Ghz SD 768 Mac OS X (10.4.1)

Turn on FTP in the sharing control panel. Use Connect to Server in the Finder with an FTP URL or use an FTP client or ftp in the terminal. With FTP you can do a:
$ cd /Volumes/nameofthefirewiredrive
then go from there.
File Sharing on OS X only shares the "Public" directory in your home directory. You might be able to put a symlink inside Public to /Volumes/thedrivesname
$ ln -s ~/Public/externaldrive /Volumes/externaldrive
and try enabling Personal File Sharing and trying Connect to Server.
If your wireless network uses DHCP, remember that the IP address of a given computer may change without warning if DHCP give it a different IP. You might have better luck using the Bonjour/Rendevous name of the computer to connect consistently.

Need help setting up my Wireless

Since the phone operators have failed to connect my call within 45 minutes of calling tech support and online chat requires that I know my father's email (seriously, who makes a tech support where getting support is more frustrating than dealing with the actual problem?) I have decided to ask the forum to see if anyone can help me out.
My family got a wireless router for our verizon Fios internet about a week ago. My computer currently runs wirelessly off the router. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, after connecting to the wireless router my computer gets kicked off the internet for about 5-10 seconds every 5 minutes or so when the computer or the router resets the connection for whatever reason.
I have had a wireless router for this computer in the past and it has worked fine. My question is how can I fix the router so that it does not reset my connection every 5-10 minutes.

How do you assign your IP addresses? If some computers have static IP addresses and those are allocated for DHCP then one of the computers would be kicked out from your local network. Sometimes Windows gives you a worning that other devce uses the same IP address. But sometimes it does not.
Another question is: how do you know that you have been kicked out of net?

Need help setting up Vmware Workstation Network....

If I simply create 5 Windows Virtual Machines and assign each a different IP address subnet, how will they be able to use my local network router to get to the internet? Also how will autodiscovery between the machines work?
For instance, if my local router is operating on 192.168.1.1 and they all have subnets of 192.168.10.x, how would I get them to the internet?
I also need to be able to RDP and LogMeIn to the virtual machines.
I thought I saw something about setting up virtual routers or gateways at some point, but I am unable to find anything that explains that stuff on a beginner level.

What you want to do is configure the network as host only. That should isolate them from the outside network.
Of course if you didn't want to bother with that, you could simply give them a different ip address subnet than your outer network and no default gateway. That would prevent them from seeing anything on your local network and vise versa.http://pubs.vmware.com/workstation-11/index.jsp#com.vmware.ws.using.doc/GUID-93BDF7F1-D2E4-42CE-80EA...

Need help setting up eyeHome - Wireless with AX

Hi all,
I am trying to setup eyeHome over a wireless connection using Aiport Xtreme.
I have no problem connecting to the internet through AX and my D-Link ethernet modem (thanks to Apple Support), works perfectly.
But when I try and add eyeHome to this equation everything seems to stop working and I have to reset my AX and start all over again.
The problem seems to occur when I setup try to set up WDS over, I get an error about not being able to configure the base. Elgato's (eyeHome's makers) instructions on how to setup the device arent clear.
Please help me out on this. Cheers.

A little confused actually. Why does D-Link DSL- 300T have to support WDS, when it is the wireless adapter provided by Elgato which is having problems being configured. The setup is as follows?
WITHOUT ELGATO WIRELESS ADAPTOR ATTACHED:
ADSL LINE --via rj cable----> DLINK MODEM
DLINK MODEM ---via ethernet cable----> AIRPORT EXPRESS
AIRPORT EXPRESS - ----> iMac G5
WITH ELGATO WIRELESS ADAPTOR ATTACHED:
ADSL LINE --via rj cable----> DLINK MODEM
DLINK MODEM ---via ethernet cable----> AIRPORT EXPRESS
AIRPORT EXPRESS - ----> iMac G5
EYEHOME BOX ----via scart----->TV
WIRELESS ADAPTOR----via elgato's ethernet cable---> EYEHOME BOX
EYEHOME BOX---communicates via WIRELESS ADAPTOR through AX--->iMac
Hope this makes sense

HELP!!!!! I Cannot Connect to the Internet!!!!!!

I just connected my WRT54G router to my modem and hard wired my computer to port 1 on the back of the router............I cannot connect to the internet, but can connect to the router using 192.168.1.1. I am on a DSL connection. Any suggestions???? THANKS!!!!

If you were able to access the router's set-up page using the default gateway 192.168.1.1 with the modem already connected to the internet port of the router, it means that the default of the modem does not conflict with that of the router. if you cant go online, check the status tab and check for IP address. If you got values/numbers there, it should get you online. if not, if they are all 0.0.0.0, it means that you were still not able to establish connection with both devices.
try to connect your modem straight to the computer, if you cannot go online (since you have DSL connection), try to remember if your ISP gave you a username and password. Your modem is set to full bridged so in order for the router to work with the modem, set the Internet Connection type to " PPPoE" (you can see this under Set-Up tab).. and try to check if you can have IP address.
Or if there's no user name and password from ISP. configure first the router without connecting the modem. then change the router's IP address. then connect the router and configure. it should work now. just configure the wireless settings later after you are sure that you are online directly with the router.

HT1595 Apple tv will connect to the network but cannot connect to the Internet

My apple tv is connecting to my network but it says it cannot connect to the Internet. I've already tried restarting everything and I've also connected it to my portable mifi network with same results. Anybody have any ideas?

This is what the MAC address clone looks like:
Should I enable it? If so, should I put something in the MAC Address? What? I was able to connect it thru my MiFi, but not my home network. Until today, it's been connected to my home network for about 8 months with no problem. Haven't used it for a while...not since I got a new router.

Also made sure I turned off the guest network on the APE. Once it was set up I clicked on Airport in the Airport Utility then wireless Clinets, jotted down the client I wanted to restrict access to (Kid's Laptop) then go back to Airport screen, last option on right Access then MAC Adrs Access Control change to "Timed Access", then click the + on the bottom of the window, type the MAC adrs you want to restrict and set time limits, when complete click done..... Only took me a week and a half to figure it out...... Good luck, if that doesn't help let me know, but I'm no expert...
thanks!!
i think i have the most recent 327w update, because it now shows my modem screen in a red color and it is broken into 3 sections across the screen.
as far as the AEBS is concerned, you did not use it in bridge mode at all?
i thought you had to connect 1 cable from it to the 327w? I have about 5 items i will be connecting, so i will probably run any wired from the AESB, but not sure yet?
thanks, and yaeh last time my network took me a bit of time as well!!
what kind of encryption are you running?
thanks
