I can connect to "linksys" as a wireless network, but get no internet access. Please help! Thank you!

The settings that you provided is for the modem so I suppose you can able to go online with modem… Please let me know the IP address that you receiving from the modem… Since the connection that you have is DSL connection and if you are receiving the IP address from the modem under LAN (Local Area Connection) is a Private IP address (192.168.X.X) then follow the steps:
# Connect the modem with the Linksys Router WRT54G on the Internet Port and then connect the Computer on any of the Ethernet Port on the Router (Numbered – 1, 2, 3 and 4)…
# Open up the browser and on the address bar type 192.168.1.1 that will open up the Router setup page…
# Look for the Local IP Address and change it to 192.168.2.1 …
# Click Save Settings...
# Then Click on wireless Tab create the Wireless Network Name SSID and select the channel to 6, 9, and 11… Click Save Settings...
# Then Click on Wireless Security sub tab and select the security mode and provide the password as per the requirement… Click Save Settings...
# Click on Status Tab on the Router Setup page check if Internet IP Address has numbers or values. If the Internet IP Address has numbers, the computer should now be able to access the Internet. If the IP address is all zeroes (0.0.0.0) click "IP Address Release" first then click "IP Address Renew".  If the IP address is still all zeroes, enable PPPoE on the router.
To enable PPPoE on the router you should have a username and password provided by the ISP (Internet Service Provider) and follow the steps...
# Under the Setup tab, set the Internet Connection Type to PPPoE…
# Enter the Username and Password that your ISP provided, including the domain in the User Name field if necessary…
# Click Save Settings...
# Then Click on wireless Tab create the Wireless Network Name SSID and select the channel to 6, 9, and 11… Click Save Settings...
# Then Click on Wireless Security sub tab and select the security mode and provide the password as per the requirement… Click Save Settings...
# Click the Status tab then look for Login Status and check if it says Connected.  If it’s connected, you should be able to access the Internet.
After doing the following settings then connect the wireless computer the preferred Network… Once it gets connected you will be online wirelessly as well…

  • Can't get internet access with WRT54G router

    I recently purchased a used WRT54G. I replaced my old wired linksys router with it and my hosts are able to get dhcp addresses from the router, but they cannot access the Internet. I have tried to use dchp release and renew buttons under the status tab in the router's web-based gui to get a public IP address, but can't get one. I have attempted to reset the router to its factory settings, but I still can't get the public IP. I have no problem getting an IP and Internet access with my old router and the WRT54G works if I disable its dchp and daisy chain it to the old one. Maybe I need to do something else for a complete reset of the router. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jack

    the router that you just purchased was maybe configured for a different network before that's why it did not work initially. after making the router back to its' factory defaults, you should reconfigure or set-up the router.. If you have CABLE ISP, enable ''mac address clone'' on the router's set-up page under the set-up tab. then check if you can get a public ip address after that.

    I want to change Router2's Operating Mode from "Gateway" to "Router" because I
    want to turn off NAT on Router2 so that I can access all computers attached to
    Router2 by their individual IP instead of using port forwarding at Router2.
    The problem is after the mode change from "Gateway" to "Router", and regardless
    whether I disable RIP or enable RIP, and on what interfaces it is enabled, computer
    192.168.2.160 does not have internet connection. 
    Observations:
    [0] INTRAnet works as I can reach computer 192.168.2.160 from computer behind Router1
    192.168.1.x and vice versa.
    [1] ping and traceroute *work* on Router2 itself using the built-in dianostic tool.

    This is not expected because NAT to internet should still be done by Router1, no? Computer
    behind Router1 with IP 192.168.1.x has internet connection.
    [5] It looks like I cannot change the Routing Table Entry on Router2. I do not think I need to change anything,
    just an observation.
    [6] If I use LAN to LAN connection, then both intranet and internet works. [The internet IP of Router2 can be
    anything not in the same subnet of the Router1, and DHCP on the local side should be disabled to avoid conflict
    with the the DHCP on Router1].

    I have a question. Unfortunately in order to ask my question, I have to have a lengthy description of my setup. Basically, I have a second Linksys router in "router" operating mode with NAT disabled connected to the Verizon router, and I have a computer which is in a different subnet (192.168.2.x) behind the Linksys router. This computer can communicate with computers behind Verizon router in subnet (192.168.1.x), but cannot reach internet. This is a simplified version of my question, full details are in the original post.
    If I setup the Linksys router in "gateway" operating mode, which means with NAT enabled, then both intranet and internet works, but there is no easy way to setup port forwarding for 10 compueters in 192.168.2.x network to communicate with 10 computers in 192.168.1.x network.
    If I setup the Linksys router in a LAN to LAN configuration with Verizon routers, but this way all computers are in the same subnet, I want them to be in different subnet for access control and things like that.
    I hope this makes things a little clear.
    Thanks.

  • I HAVE AN IPAD 2 WITH WIFI ONLY, CAN I GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM ANY SMARTPHONE, OR DO I NEED A SPECIFIC PHONE FOR THIS?

    i ave an ipad 2 with wifi only, can i get internet access from any cell phone, or do i need a specific phone or type of phone

    I received an iPad 2 for Christmas (the 1st Apple item I've ever owned!) and own a Nokia N95 8GB mobile (that's pretty much on its last legs/ready to die any day).
    On the Nokia I've got 2 apps (downloaded from/via Nokia's 'Ovi' app store): JoikuSpot & HandyWi. Both are the free versions.
    I've not used HandyWi much - if at all - but JoikuSpot has been great. Basically, it creates a wifi hotspot (as pjl123 mentioned) in a couple of straightforward steps, and allows a few devices to be connected. It displays who/what is connected at a given time - so you can check if the guy having coffee behind you is piggybacking your hotspot or not! - data packets sent received etc.
    The paid version has the benefit of allowing you to secure the hotspot and other security features.  Their website is www.joiku.com, FYI.
    Given how slow behind the 8 ball Nokia has been, their phones are getting cheaper and cheaper - given Joiku's meant to work with Nokia S60, Symbian ^3, Maemo, Meego & Sony Ericsson S60, this might be a cost effective option.
    Ps. Ah! One more thing - Joiku's website specifies that 3G must be used; that WAP will not work. Good luck, enjoy!

  • Mi424wr-gen3I no internet access from secondary subnet / router

    All,
    I am looking to provide internet access to my internal LAN / WLAN devices on another router.  I have configured my second router to connect to the 192.168.1.0/24 network on the mi424wr LAN. 
    Static routes: 192.168.2.0/24  next hop 192.168.1.254 (secondary router interface connected to m1424wr LAN)
    Firewall policy filter: Network Home  Inbound and outbound allow access sourced and destined to both subnets.
    I have layer 3 conectivity between the routers but I am not able to browse the internet from secondary router 192.168.2.0 network. My default router on the 192.168.2.0/24 is the 192.168.1.1 router.
    I tried to modifiy the DNS setting for devices on the 192.168.2.0 net but nothing works.  Used 192.168.1.1 (mi424wr interface which the setting for the 192.168.1.0 net devices. Even tried using verizon's DNS server 68.237.161.12 but no internet access.  The mi424wr does have a dns server setting which I tried to statically add 192.168.2.x host but that did not work. 
    So I am not sure if the mi424wr DNS server is not allowing any other subnets beside the 192.168.1.0/24 to access its DNS services or some other policy is needed to be created.  My secondary router is not NATing and at a loss.
    Tried to research other methods of using my secondary router to connect to internet with the mi424wr-gen3I but nothing seems worth trying.  Setting the mi424wr-gen3I to bridge mode would be an option but have not seen any configuration for the REV I router vesion.  My last setup worked in bridge mode and STB were functional but VOD was always very choppy.  Seem there are some QoS setting the mi424wrI has configure to improve traffic priority for video.
    Any assistance appreciated.

    As STX said.  All you need to do is to connect an ethernet cable from a lan port of the Verizon router to the wan port of your own router.  Your own router needs to be configured with an address on the 192.168.1 subnet, either dhcp or static, yours is you say at 192.168.1.254 as is mine.  Then you should have configured the dhcp side of your router with a subnet other than 192.168.1 which apparently you have done.  You do not need static routes or anything else for devices on the 192.168.2 subnet to access the internet, other than valid DNS server addresses - did you set valid dns servers addresses in the static ip internet connection on your router?  You could set it to 192.168.1.1 and pick up whatever dns the vz router is using or you could set it dns servers of your choice, personally I set mine to opeDNS server addresses.
    What kind of router is the second router?
    Your description of your setup sound OK and the only difference I see between your setup and mine is that you say your second router is not NATing

  • No internet access from my airport

         Hi there,
    I have a problem with my two airport express. I'll explain first my config
    I have one Router  (from the internet provider so not apple) connected to an ADSL line with ethernet hardwired Conections to both Airport express.
    the to AE have the same name (SSID) and password and are configured as Create a new Network. this allow me not only to extend my Network reach but also to use the jack conections in 2 different rooms for 2 difrerent Hifi systems for the airplay feature. they are in bridge mode.
    the Router from my Internet provider as a different SSID on purpose because I don't want my computer to connect to that one when I'm closer to it since I always had more transmission problems with the airplay when connected to a non apple Router. the sound is often cut while with the AE it always flows better.
    the problem is that the airplay works but the internet connection is very bad, I mean it last minutes to open a page,  and if I want to surf from my computer I have to choose the other SSID and then no problem.
    when I open the airport utility I can see that sometimes it's all green but the internet switch constantly from green to yelow.
    I'm just in the process of changing my internet provider which means that I actually have in this moment 2 internet connections and 2 routers from 2 diff providers and therefore have made the test with boths of them with the same result.
    that's it. Any idea?
    thanks in advance

    Hi,
    this is getting worse. as I was unable to solve the problem I decided to start from scratch and therefore I have reset to default values my 2 Airports.
    then in my airport utility I only have the Internet access, the earth globe, and it's green, so I can surf the web by connecting to the SSID of the router of my internet provider.
    then I plug into the power one airport. It appears in the left-hand upper corner of the Airport utility. I click on it ( at that moment my wifi is not anymore to the Internet router but to the airport itself) and follow the steps to configure it.
    it say that it will be configured to create a network so I give him same SSID and pwd as the one from the OLO provider, it tells me to connect the cable to the Router, i do it and it goes to the next step where it asks me to switch off for few minutes the internet router and switch it on again. I do it and after a while it says that an error occured while confiring the airport.
    At that moment I loose access to my airport, I does not appear neither on the Wifi panel as its MAC address (or whatever the hexa number is) nor within the airport utility as an airport connected to my internet router.
    so the only way left to get back to it is to reset it again.
    I did this process with the 2 airports, and met the same problem so I guess I'm doing something wrong.
    where is my mistake ?
    thanks in advance.

  • Internet Access from Inside to Outside ASA 5510 ver 9.1

    Hi everyone, I need help setting up an ASA 5510 to allow all traffic going from the inside to outside so I can get internet access through it. I have worked on this for days and I have finally got traffic moving between my router and my ASA, but that is it. Everything is blocked because of NAT rules I assume.
    I get errors like this when I try Packet Tracer:

    Compiled on Thu 05-Dec-13 19:37 by builders
    System image file is "disk0:/asa914-k8.bin"
    Here is my ASA config, all I want for this exercise is to pass traffic from the inside network to the outside to allow internet access so I can access the internet and then look for specific acl's or nat for specific services:

    Hi all,Hello everyone, I need some help before my head explodes. Idddddddd

    Hello Mitchell,
    First of all how are you testing this:
    interface Ethernet0/0
    description LAN Interface
    nameif Inside
    security-level 100
    ip address 10.10.1.1 255.255.255.252
    Take in consideration that the netmask is /30
    The Twice NAT is good, ACLs are good.
    do the following and provide us the result
    packet-tracer input inside tcp 10.10.1.2 1025 4.2.2.2 80
    packet-tracer input inside tcp 192.168.1.100 1025 4.2.2.2 80
    And provide us the result!

  • Time Capsule - how to gain "over-the-internet" access from Windows 7!

    Hi guys,
    I've been fighting for such a long time with my Time Capsule. I have no idea how to gain access "over-the-internet" on a PC (Windows 7) which is running on  another network. My Time Capsule is set up with my Macbook Pro at home running Lion OSX, and i have internet connection. My brother who also uses Macbook has no problems connecting to my Time Capsule - through finder (connect to a server). But how do I gain "over-the-internet" access to my Time Capsule through a PC (Windows 7) from my office? Is there please someone who can guide me step-by-step, how to gain connection to my TC through a PC? Or maybe just an explantaion what has to be done on the PC before this thing can work out! This was the main reason to why i bought Time Capsule - besides of the Time Machine function. I also have an iCloud account (earlier Mobile Me), if that makes any difference.
    Thanks!

    There is no way to do it from windows direct to the TC.
    It only presents AFP to the WAN side. And most ISP block SMB from internet access due to risks. There is AFAIK, no suitable AFP protocol utility for windows at the moment. If you google and find one, be aware it probably will not work to your satisfaction anyway.
    You must use a Mac to access AFP but even then it is not a secure protocol and I would recommend against it anyway.
    So basically if you had have asked before purchasing, I would have said, TC is unsuitable product. It is a backup drive for a Mac. It is not a NAS.. it is not designed for remote access by any computer other than a Mac. It does not support any other file protocol to the WAN interface.. and no secure protocol even there.
    A NAS with Time Machine extensions from QNAP, Synology, Netgear all are designed for web access and are far more suitable. Researching a purchase beforehand is always worthwhile.
    Anyway, your choices are.. return the TC and buy something more suited to the job.
    Or if return is now impossible sell the TC on ebay.. etc and do the same thing.. buy a more suitable NAS.
    Or buy a cheap mac mini (even second hand) and use that for communications with home.
    Or, replace your current router with something that includes vpn. This is actually a good and commercially sound decision. VPN is generally used by business to connect to remote locations, because it is secure and will allow the greatest flexibility of connection. How hard or easy depends on the current setup. I would recommend a combined modem router with vpn server if you have adsl. Or for cable you can find plenty of routers with combined vpn. You can also use those for adsl if your ISP allows pppoe with bridged modem. The TC will have to be bridged as well. For other broadband it might be harder to find the right kind of box.
    Once you setup a vpn you can access it from work using the appropiate vpn client in your work computer.

  • Unable to connect to internet with my WRT54G router

    I had no problem until a few days ago.  I have it under a secured mode and wanted to unsecure it temporarily.  I got into the 192.168.2.1  and clicked the security tab and got a clock that never seemed to come back to i closed the window.  I went back into internet explorer and could not get into the internet.  I get a popup in lower right saying  Local Area connection.  This connection has limited or no connectivty.  You might not be able to access the internet or some resources.  For more information click this message.   
    Then I get
    Windows could not finis repra the problem because the following actin can not be completed.  Renewing your IP address. 
    I do a setup and get a message
    Unable to connect to the router
    I try pinging the 192.168.1.1  and it times out.
    I do a diagostic and 
    HTTP Error 12007  connecting to www.microsoft.,com  shows up many times.
    I have an Actiontec 701 DSL modem.  I can get into the internet using that only.
    I've tried resetting the router, I've done   what appears to be a firmware upgrade (lights blink etc),  I've tried different power up sequences,  I've tried re-booting.
    What more can I try?

    As of now you are not able to login to your router setup page, and you are getting an error message "Limited or no Connectivity". First you can try is Unplug the Power from your router, wait for 1 min and reconnect the power to your router and check if you connected to the router or still you are getting the same error message.
    If still the same problem persist then Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

  • How to share internet access from iPhone with home LAN

    Hello,
    Sorry if this has been asked before, but I just bought an iPhone and am trying to use it to provide internet access to a LAN at my cottage where only dial-up is possible with my ISP. Although this is easily accomplished by enabling internet sharing on my iMac and plugging it into my router's WAN port, I do not have any access to my IP printer or to my SONOS music system. Any pointers?
    Thanks,
    Martin Girard

    Well, getting internet access for my iMac is straightforward using USB tethering (I live in Canada, no AT&T crap). Then, I can share this connection with other computers (via ethernet in my case) by enabling internet sharing (in the Sharing control panel). My problem is that once I plug my iMac in the WAN port of my router, I can't access my LAN anymore. Any ideas???

  • Internet access from Solaris 10 server

    HI
    we have Sparc T-4 servers running solaris 10. i need one of the servers to be able to reach to Internet. However i am not able to even ping 8.8.8.8 .
    i am able to browse internet using firefox after i changed the proxy settings in the browser.
    can some one help in steps to configure internet access.  i am installing Ops Center and it needs connectivity to reach to My Oracle Support over Ineter Net.
    thanks
    -Muneer

    If you are able to browse with Firefox on your server then Internet works.
    If you have some troubles with Ops Center, you should certainly configure the HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY variables and in this case I suggest to push your question in the Ops Center community : Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center (MOSC)

  • Airport express cant  connect to internet through linksys wrt54g router

    Hi, i need some help.
    I have an airport express that i cant seem to get to connect to the internet.
    I have a cable modem to linksys wrt54g wireless router. An xp computer connected by LAN to the router.
    An Imac wirelessly.
    An xp laptop wirelessly.
    And a printer via the LAN
    All work just fine.
    But when i configured the aiport express to be a wds for the linksys to increase the range for my laptop or imac for that matter. It displays a green light, but has no connection, because it doesnt give the laptop or the imac a correct ip adress, that is what i seem to think the problem is.
    Please can someone help, i'm desperate.
    Thanks
    Core duo 17" IMAC   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Did you follow instructions like this to add the AE to your Linksys network?

    Also, make sure that "Distribute IP addresses" is NOT checked.

  • I recently purchased the Apple Airport Extreme Base Station so that I can have wireless, my question is: so I need anything else so that my guests can have internet access via my router?

    Hello Anyone and Everyone who can answer my question,
    I would like to be able to offer wireless access to the internet for my guest's who use my apartment above my garage that is about 75 feet away from my house/computer. I have a MacBook Pro and have satellite internet service through an ehternet connection. I recently purchased an Apple Extreme Base Station with simultanious Dual-Band (MC34OLL/A), that is in the process of being shipped as I type, and am wondering if I need anything else to install in the apartment for the wireless to work with the Apple Extreme Base Station? Thank you for any help in this matter.
    Sincerely,
    Lizzy

    In AirPort Utility, enable the guest network by selecting your Extreme, then the Edit button, then the Wireless tab, then check the box for "Enable Guest Network":

  • How to configure for Internet access from USB EV-DO wireless broadband stick

    I have WRT120N and I installed it in my office which has three computers (wired) that I've connected to the WRT120N. They all can communicate with one another. What I need to do is share the EV-DO connection (USB Stick) I have on of of these computers with the others and also with the devices that connect over the Wi-Fi.
    Thank you!

    Are you trying to share the Internet connection using EV-DO and WRT120N?

  • Self-Assigned IP via router - no internet access - HELP!

    Hi all,
    I have 10.5.7 leopard installed on my C2D Macbook.
    In the past, I never had any issues connecting to wireless routers with internet connection.
    As of late, I am currently getting 'Self assigned IP address' which does not allow me to connect to the internet. It is connected to the router, but just no internet access. I can see the other Shared computers (Windows PC and mate's macbook pros) but just no web access. And they do not have a problem connecting to the internet.
    I have attempted the following:
    1) Turned on & off Airport.
    2) Deleted network connections and re-created them, rebooted in safe & PRAM modes.
    3) Deleted router Key chain permissions & changed permissions to 'access all'.
    4) Deleted plist files from /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/
    5) Off Firewall & verified against the logs to ensure it is disabled.
    6) Re-installed 10.5.7 combo updates.
    7) Rebooted router, changed router channel, etc. Router is on the latest Netgear firmware.
    8) Assigned IP address and entered the DNS, router values manually in Leopard.
    9) Clicked on renew DHCP lease several thousands to no avail..
    Occasionally, DHCP will work. But once I reboot & awake the mac the internet connection drops and 'Self Assigned IP' happens.
    Does anyone else have any ideas? My only conclusion is that the bug is in Leopard 10.5.7.

    Make sure your router has the latest firmware. If you are out of range of the WiFI or in a marginal area, this error simply indicates that your computer is not able to access an internet router/server and simply assigns the default IP address which is of the form 169.254.xxx.xxx. Basically it's a flag that lets you know you are not connected to a DHCP server.
