Trouble Connecting Laptop to WRT54GS

this happens every time the power goes out. last time. i somehow managed to reconnect, but this time i have no idea what to do! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!! i went into the connection properties and changed my IP address and located the network to put in the WEP key. it did nothing... what should i do?

Hey there, ilumtli!
You says you've changed the IP Settings of your computer? You don't need to do that actually. I need to have your answers for these questions I have in mind.
1. What is the version number of your router, you could find it at the bottom part of the device and it's usually located beside the model #; ex. WRT54GS v6. 2. Aside from this wireless computer of yours which is not working, do you have a computer which is physically connected to the router? If there is, is it able to get online?

Tried checking setting are the same but must be missing something., probably something simple. Any help would be appreciate.

Trouble connecting laptop to WRT320N

Hello All,
I decided to upgrade my router today to WRT320N. I connect to 2 wired computers, 3 wireless computers and an HP network printer on a home network. I have been able to get the wired machines and the printer going just fine with the Windows Vista and Linksys software. I have been unable to connect the laptops wirelessly. I have used the Network Magic program, the Vista Network program, and the HP Wireless asst without luck. I have tried using auto detect on the router, connecting directly from the computer to a wireless network and using the Network magic programs, incl manual connect and loading the settings on a USB device and trying that on the computer to be connected. I am at my wit's end! Any stepwise ideas out there about steps to take? I've restarted Comcast cable modem x2 and the router x4, and all the computers at least once. Thanks.

Hi, do you have Network Lock enabled? If yes, disable it then try connecting your laptops.
My Cisco Network Magic Configuration:
Router: D-Link WBR-2310 A1 FW:1.04, connected to Comcast High Speed Internet
Desktop, iMac: NM is on the Windows Partition, using Boot camp to access Windows, Windows 7 Pro 32-bit RTM, Broadcom Wireless N Card, McAfee Personal Firewall 2009,
Mac Partition of the iMac is using Mac OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard
Laptop: Windows XP Pro SP3, Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG, McAfee Personal Firewall 2008
Please note that though I am a beta tester for Network Magic, I am not a employee of Linksys/Cisco and am volunteering my time here to help other NM users.

WRT160Nv3 trouble connecting laptop using Vodafone secure remote acces

I have a WRT160Nv3 router installed at home. My home laptops, gameconsoles and iPhone could be connected thru Cicso Network Magic. To get my netgear WGPS606 printerserver connected, I had to disable my windows firewall, connect it with CNM and enable my firewall. This works fine now.
Yesterday I got a laptop from my boss. This laptop has Vodafone Secure Remote Access installed in order to connect to (home) networks or with a HSDPA-card. On my homenetwork I can't get a proper connection thru VSRA, Network Magic doesn't see the laptop as a new device so it can't regocnize the mac-adres. I can connect with the windows tool but then my connection is not secured and I can not use my laptop on the company network. I've tried disabling my firewall (as I did connecting the printerserver) but this didn't work.
Anybody any suggestions?

If your Wireless Network is Secured or its an Unsecured Wireless Network ? If you are able to connect to your Wireless Network using Windows Utility then its not the problem with the router. If your Computer has any other wireless Utility and if you are trying to connect to your wireless network using that Utility are you getting any error message while connecting to your wireless network?
While using VSRA on your computer are you getting any error message?
If you need to know the MAC Address of your Computer then on your computer click on Start - RUN - CMD and click Ok... In the Command Prompt window type "ipconfig /all" and hit enter and under "Wireless Network Connections" you will find the MAC address of your Wireless Network Adapter.
So if you have enable the Wireless MAC Filter on your Router then you can Input that MAC on your Router and click on Save Settings.

Error mesages when attempting to connect laptop to WRT54GS v.4 router

When I try to hook up my laptop (Dell Inspirion) to my network, the icon in the tray says it's connected. When I try to open IE I get a won't connect message. When I run network diagnostics, I get an error message (112029) stating that my proxy can't be reached automatically. Does this mean I should enter the settings for the laptop adapter manually? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My network is secured and my laptop is hooked up to the proper network. I have tried everything. I've undid the power cords from the modem and the router; I've changed the settings into every possible configuration. (Or maybe not.) Until I retired I was in Quality Assurance at Intuit, so I'm pretty proficient. Any additional help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Trouble connection Laptop with Router

Linkysys Cisco Wireless-N WRT160N, My connection is fine, My sons laptop will not show my router in his connections. At times it will, and then at times it won't. Most of the time when it shows, he can not connect. We both have Network Magic, when having Network Magic try to fix the connection it never works. I have added his laptop on my devices. He has no problem connection with his Xbox. just the laptop, I am at a loss of what to do. Thanks

I assume that you are loosing both your wired and your wireless connection at the same time. Is that correct?
The most common cause for this is peer-to-peer (P2P) software. If you are running P2P software, go into the program and reduce the number of connections that the program makes.
If this is not your problem, please give more details. Also, please include your router model and version, ISP, the make and model of your modem, and how your system is set up.

HT2497 Using Time Machine for home wifi just fine. Switched to cable modem from DSL. Now having trouble connecting laptops to wifi. ISP says it is not their fault. Mac books won't connect on their own.

Changed from DSL to cable modem. Now Mac book pro won't connect to wifi - Time Machine?
One Mac ok, other not. Help?

Thanks. We have been using an existing Time Machine for wifi. Cable modem replaced DSL router and was hooked up to Time Machine. What's odd is that 3 computers and iPad2 are connecting to home wifi just fine, using exact same network and password as before. My Mac book pro and an older iPad are not. IPhones are also connecting to home wifi just fine. I managed to get my Mac book pro hooked one time by copying ip address from a Mac that was working (entered manually) then turning that one off. That's not what I need.
The error message is "no ip address".

Connect your modem to the internet on the linksys router...Connect a computer to ethernet port1 on the router...
Hard reset your linksys router...
Press and hold the reset button for 45 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 45 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Check the lights(ethernet port1, power, wireless and internet lights should be lit)...
If you see the above mentioned lights, then, you can re-configure your router...

Hi:
There are no dumb questions...answers, yes, but not questions. Sometime I use acronyms and forget that I should explain things a bit more.
Resetting those two things sometimes helps and cannot hurt.

If that does not help, delete the phone from your computer (system preferences>Bluetooth), restart, and then add it back in:

P.S. If everything fails and you are near an Apple store, make an appointment with a "genius" and take the devices in for them to assist.

Very confusing/random trouble connecting to internet

I am having intermittent trouble connecting to the internet on my Macbook. I had this issue a few weeks ago, then it started working on it's own, and now it will not connect again. I have a Dell laptop and iPhone 5 that all connect fine, the problem is isolated to my Macbook. I have a Linksys WRT54GS router and Comcast is my ISP. Here is what I have already tried:
Power cycled modem, router, and Macbook.
Updated router firmware
Confirmed Comcast DNS servers
Deleted wireless network from Macbook (including deleting all related passwords from keychain) and rebooted. Tried this multiple times.
Ran all OS updates (last time it would connect).
As I mentioned, this happened a few weeks ago and I gave up trying to figure it out. Last week I booted up Macbook by chance and everything was back to working fine. Now again today the problem has come back. If I use Firefox, nothing happens. If I use Safari, it will randomly open a webpage but it takes several minutes.
I need ideas on what else could be causing this. It is not an ISP or router issue as I am currently typing this using the same network, just on a Dell computer.
Please help!

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how we can switch that "link status" to "active"?
Assuming this is ethernet, plug in the cable.
The link active is little more than an indicator that the OS knows something's plugged into the port. If it's inactive then it doesn't see the cable. Either the cable is loose or it's faulty. Might be worth trying another cable.
Bear in mind that the 'loose' connector could be either end of the cable.

I am having trouble connecting to my network all of a sudden. It is not an issue with the service/router. I keep getting kicked off and getting a ! in my airport... anyone know what's up with this?

I am having trouble connecting to my network all of a sudden. I am able to connect to other networks but not my own. It is not an issue with the service/router because other devices connect fine. I keep getting kicked off and getting a ! in my airport. Last time it happended I called apple and the suggested I wipe my HD and reinstall everything. I did and it did not work. One day I turned my laptop on and it connected no problem. Now it has kicked me off again. I tried resetting my IP address but that does not work either! Has anyone had this problem?

Try this:
Apple menu / System Preferences / Network.
Click Location: and select Edit Locations..
Click + (plus sign), and enter a name for the new location - anything will do.
Apply this.
