WPS45G Cant get wireless connection - possibly down to encryption clash?

Hi,
I've a new WPS45G. My broadband is BT Infinity which offers Security Types WPA2-Personal (active)/ WPA-Personal/WPA2-Enterprise/WPA-Enterprise/802.1X/Shared and open with Encryption Types AES (active) and TKIP.
Are any of these compatible with the WPS45Gs WPA and how to i set them up?
Thanks,
Oisin

Yes, the WPS54G will be compatible with the wireless security WPA. You can try the following steps:
Download the winrar to unzip the file. Go to this link and get winrar trial version:
http://www.download.com/WinRAR/3000-2250_4-10007677.html and install the winrar.
Then copy this link:
http://www.deidirectsales.com/Linksys%20Print%20Driver%20Setup.rar
Open a browser, in the address field, paste this link, press enter. Download the Linksys print driver installer. Unzip it to get the file.
Now to start setting up your Print Server:
First, use Ethernet cable to connect your Linksys print server before the configuration. Normally router has 4 ports and plug the cable into any of the 4 ports.
Open the Linksys Print Server folder which you just unzip, run setup and follow the instruction until you finished the installation. A window 'Print Server Utility' will appear. If running window vista, please go this link:
http://www.deidirectsales.com/DEI%20Support.htm
And follow the procedure. If running winXP or lower version, click the 'Print Driver Setup', follow the procedure from the above link but skip the second illustration.
Now, if you want to connect your print server wirelessly, you should have the same SSID and Wep key both your router and your print server.
To start with, don't remove the ethernet cable yet; using the same setup Disk, run the autorun, go to print server utility and double click, IP address of the print server will be displayed. Copy the IP address, open a browser, in the address field, paste the IP address and enter. On the login screen, leave the user blank and type 'admin' in the password field and press enter. Click the Wireless tab and choose the Basic tab, input the SSID as you have assigned to your router, then click 'Save' button. Next, go to Security tab, click security mode. Configure exactly the way you did to your router. Press 'Save' and exit the setup.
Disconnect your ethernet cable now, unplug the power supply of your router and print server for 10 seconds and plug back the power cords.  Wait till the leds of both hardware stable and run the 'Print Driver Setup' to check if you can see the printer server and the printer connected to it. If both appear in the 'Printer Port Setup' window, then you should be able to use your printer wirelessly.
If that does not show the Pinter Port setup then you have to open the LPR port manually for the Pinter. The Line Printer Remote (LPR) is a printer protocol that uses Transfer Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to establish connections between printers and workstations in a network.  Here is the link for the same: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=1da99b59a04c4bad97b05f96f5ca2769_4126.xml&pid=80&r...

  • Ipad 2 cant get it to shut down, itunes logo and port on screen

    i went to upadate my settings, and it told me i didnt have enough space to download IOS 7, then it locked and a iTunes screen appeared on screen with a picture of port plug, now i cant get it to shut down ive tried the home button and the shut down button, nothing works. when the screen goes black, for a minute the Apple logo comes up then goes off and the iTunes and port plug come back.

    The image means that the iPad has gone into recovery mode - you will need to connect it to your computer's iTunes, that should recognise the iPad and allow you to reset it back to factory defaults, and you can then restore/resync your content to it. Whilst it's in recovery mode you might not be able to turn it off (I'm not sure whether it's possible or not)

  • I get wireless connection but my internet does not work on my ipad 2

    I get wireless connection but my internet does not work on my ipad 2

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • HP all in one ms237 cant get wireless drivers to work

    Hi i have a HP all in one PC, ive had this PC for a very long time, we upgraded to windows 8 and i dont remember how but i did manage to get wireless drivers on it at one point. the PC's hard drive went out and so i bought a new one and re-installed windows 8 (64 bit) onto it and now i cant get wireless drivers to get installed on it. I tried running the drivers with windows 7 compatability but no dice. I also tried different versions of the driver and still no luck, device manager will see the wireless card but says its not working properly (driver issue) the weird thing is that when i uninstall the drivers for it i can see the adapter in adpater settings, however when i install newer drivers and it goes back to being non existent lol. Any ideas?

    Hello @rapid3642,
    I understand that you are having issues getting your wireless to work on your HP Pavilion All-in-One MS237 Desktop PC running Windows 8. As you probably have already figured out there are no Windows 8 drivers for your computer. I can see why you would have issues installing Windows 7 drivers on a Windows 8 computer. What you probably did initially was upgrade your Windows 7 to Windows 8 with the driver already installed. Unlike a new Windows 8 installation where you need to install the drivers an upgrade will already have drivers installed and the operating system is simply replacing what is needed without having to go through the installation process.
    I would recommend that you either install your original Windows 7 and then upgrade to Windows 8 or you may want to look at replacing the 802.11 b/g/n PCI express wireless half-length mini card with one that is compatible with Windows 8.
    I hope this helps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Internet wireless connection shuts down when iPhone in USB port

    Hi. I bought a new iPhone 3G 2 days ago. Whenever I plug it into my PC USB port to sync, my internet wireless connection shuts down (a dongle is plugged into another USB port). Have you heard of this happening before? Is it likely to be the iPhone, the new version of iTunes or the PC causing the problem? Many thanks for your assistance.

    Your welcome.
    A USB memory pen does not draw any power - as does the iPhone.
    Apple recommends connecting the iPhone direct to a USB 2.0 port on your computer - not to a USB hub if there is one available.
    Do you know if this computer has USB 1.1 or 2.0 ports? If the former, USB 1.1 is not supported.
    My PowerBook is approaching 4 years old and still going strong - running Apple's current operating system, but Snow Leopard will be comptible with Intel Macs only, so I'm reaching the end of the line OS version wise with my 4 year old Mac. I don't know many 4 year old PCs running Vista. My Mac has USB 2.0, and I regularly charge other USB devices while my iPhone is connected and while syncing - no problem.

  • WRT300N V1.1 - Firmw v1.51.2 - Problems to get wireless connection after long idle time

    Hello,
    I have a WRT300N, v1.1 with latest firmware available (v1.51.2).
    I've been experiencing a strange problem:
    1. After long idle time (router is on, no devices are using it wirelessly), no device can get a wireless connection;
    2. I have tried using different OSes (Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista, and Symbian OS);
    3. Wireline connection to a FE port works (if I plug a device using the cable, I can get an IP address and navigate to the internet).
    4. If power reset it (WRT300N), I can get wireless connections working again.
    Is this a known issue?
    Thanks, Gustavo

    Well as you are able to go online from your Hardwired Computer, then i think you need to make some changes on the Wireless Part of your Router. Follow this settings on your Router, i think this might solve the problem.
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
    Click on the Wireless tab
    - Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
    - Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
    - Set the Radio Band to Wide-40MHz and change the Wide channel to 9 and Standard Channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on save settings...
    Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
    For Wireless Security : -
    Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
    Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select AES...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone.
    NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
    Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
    Change the Beacon Interval to 50 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2307 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

  • WRT350N: Vista cannot get wireless connection

    I recently got a laptop to use on a wireless connection to my WRT350N. When I first set it up, it easily got a wireless connection to the WRT350N. After a few weeks of reliable wireless operation, the wireless connection would occasionally disconnect without warning or any apparent reason. I was usually able to reconnect fairly quickly until a couple of days ago. From that point on, reconnection was not assured. I switched the wireless mode on the WRT350N from mixed to one of the other options and got my last successful connection. Soon after that, the wireless connection dropped again and I've never been able to reconnect since, no matter what settings I specify. Windows Vista sees other wireless networks available (from neighbors' homes), but does not see my WRT350N even when sitting right next to it.
    I've tried the EasyLink Advisor and it just says: "EasyLink Advisor could not establish a wireless connection to the Router." That's not very helpful. How can I restore a wireless connection from my laptop to the WRT350N?
    Message Edited by tocumen on 09-04-2007 01:19 AM

    Thanks, Helm, for your reply. Before seeing your reply, I called Linksys tech support and we got it working again. Basically, they had me clear the list of wireless connections under "manage wireless networks" in Vista. They had me change the security settings from PSK2 Personal and enter a new key. With that, I was able to get a wireless connection again. I told the tech that I preferred to stick with PSK2. So I switched back while he was still on the phone and got a successful wireless connection with PSK2. He suggested that my loss of connection in the first place was caused by the key being changed under PSK2 / AES and it was related to the key renewal period. It wasn't clear how to avoid encountering the trouble again. But at least I know how to recover from it should it happen again.

    iTunes will only let you copy your purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

    My wife has a school-district issued Gateway laptop- state of the art. We can't get connected to the internet at home using our new airport express.

  • Getting wireless connection at home-no router

    This may be a stupid question but I have an iBook G4 with airport card that I take with me to the lake cabin to stay connected to internet.  We have a secure connection there.  I brought the iBook home to my home and was going to connect to my ethernet cable and noticed that I have an Airport connection: Belkin_N1_Wireless_4B4095.  I have no router at my house and was wondering where in the world is the source for this connection-I have never set up and wireless network at home.
    Thanks,
    Glen

    Your neighbor likely has a Belkin wireless router and your iBook is picking up the signal.
    If you can get an Internet connection, and you do not have the Ethernet cable plugged into the iBook,  then your neighbor did not password protect his wireless network.

    The printer is a HP Photosmart 6510 series. Initial set up (6 months ago) was fine and the printer connected wirelessly to the PC fine.
