After resetting router

I couldn't get my IP address to be recognized, so I pressed the reset button on the router.  Now I can't even get a signal on my computer.  What do I need to do after resetting?

It sounds like you did reset your router and now you have to reconfigure the router for your connection.  With a hard wired pc open your browser and in the address bar type in http://192.168.1.1 and hit enter.  This will open a window asking for a user and password.  Leave the user blank and type in admin as the password.  That will get you in to the web-based set up of your router.  Configure the router for you connection then set the SSID to something other then linksys so you can identify your wirless when you connect your wireless pc/devices.  Make sure broadcast SSID is enabled and set up what ever security if needed.  Then connect you wireless pc with the information you enterd in your router.

  • Cannot share folders after resetting router

    I'm on an Actiontec MI-424-WR router and have been sharing folders/files on my main pc to three other pc's in the house (let's call them Bedroom, Laptop, and Living Room).  The main pc runs Win7 and the three others run Win7, Vista, and XP.  The shared folders/files include music, videos, and pictures.  I've had no issues until last night when I reset the router.
    I reset the router by unplugging for 30 seconds.  After the router came back online, I can no longer see the main pc from any of the other three pc's, nor can I see any other pc's from the main pc. The interesting thing is that when I use the "Test Connectivity" function in the router software, the test passes.  Pinging thru a dos command seems to work, I get 4 packets sent and 4 packets received, but I also get an error message "Reply from 192.168.1.x Destination host unreachable", with 192.168.1.x being the pc that I'm pinging from.  Pinging thru the router software fails.
    The only change to my setup was resetting the router last night. The sharing worked fine right before resetting and stopped working right after resetting. So this is obviously an issue with the router.  I suspected some settings I had tweaked a year ago when I first set up the router may have been reset to default, but everything I checked looks like it is still at my manual settings.
    Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be???
    Solved!

    If you weren't having any problems, why did you unplug the router? ("Reset" is the wrong term to use here, as it implies use of the reset button.)

  • Connect Software won't connect to router after resetting router on any of my computers

    I had to do a reset of the router. I have done it with the button on back and through the web based interface. I have followed all directions on uninstalling connect after restarting the router. I get an error that says it does not know if it is connected to the internet.. Well it isn't. I have tried numerous times and the connect will not install. I would like to get it back the way it was when I originally installed it. The key does remember the admin and password but it only allows me to get to the web based interface.
    I have tried everything I know to get the key to work again to no avail.
    Could someone please tell me what I am missing when I try to use the connect software after resetting the router?
    Thank you so very much!!!!

    So as per the concern you mentioned that Cisco Connect Software won't connect to the Internet after resetting the router... So could you inform us the model number of the Router that you are using it in the Network...
    As well as please inform us that who provides you Internet means who is your ISP ( Internet Service Provider ) ? Check if you can go online from the modem connected directly to the computer... If you can browse the Internet then check whether there is any manual IP address given to your computer or not...

  • WRT54G IP lost after reset router

    After reset my WRT54G router, I seem to cant find my IP address.is it because my firewall in my company is set to 192.168.1.1.before this, my WRT54G IP is set to 192.168.1.109.Is there any way to find the IP. I am using a desktop to configure the router,so no wireless connection.
    forget to say, the wrt54G is not my PC default gateway, is it connected to the same switch same with my desktop PC.

  • Two questions, does resetting the Mac Book Pro late 2008 speed up after reset? Also, do i need to remove my WLAN router and get only a plain MODEM when setting up my AIR PORT time machine?

    Two questions, does resetting my Mac Book Pro late 2008 speed up after resetting? Also, do i need to get rid of my WLAN router to make my AIR PORT time capsule work?
    Am grateful for any answers...its a 15,4"...
    Will soon buy a new one, is battery better on 13 than 15 "?
    Have a great day...

    If you mean restoring OS X, that won't necessarily have any effect on speed.
    Not enough free space on the startup disk can slow your Mac down.
    Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
    Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.

  • Can't install frimware or reset router

    Hi
    I have been surfing around in the forums for hours surfing for answers as of yet I can not find one. Here is my problem I have a WRT54G v5 router. The power light is blinking so I figured I needed to install new firmware but the default number for accessing the router is not working. I tried resetting the router several times with no luck. The WLAN light is not lit all other lights are on and the power light is blinking. I tried to include all the information needed. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Please always be specific. I have not clue what you mean with "recognize" except that something between the computer and the router does not work. I guess the computer does not get an IP address of the router. Could be you cannot ping. Could be an error message from the tftp program. But I don't know. Please, if something does not work there is always an error message. It is important to post the exact error message. Every error message has a distinct meaning and often reveals a lot about the problem.
    O.K. Plug the computer into a LAN port of the router. Set the computer to a static IP address 192.168.1.2 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 as described in the article. Open a command prompt window and enter
    ping -t 192.168.1.1
    If the router is not working the pings should simply time out. Please leave the window open and the pings running in the background. Now press the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. Check the lights on the router to be sure that something is happening. After 30 seconds release the button and wait until the router has booted or however far it gets, i.e. the blinking power light. Check the command prompt window. Did any of the pings got a reply?
    If not, please unplug the router from power. Wait 1 minute or so. Then plug it back in. Again, check the ping output: any replies?
    If you get any replies directly after reset or power up then there is hope.
    If you don't get any replies at all even after power up then there is nothing you can do. You have to contact support or replace the router. In that case the router is bricked.

  • Extending wireless network w/ TimeCapsule: Unable to find after resetting

    Hi all!
    I have found several topics about similar problems, but there wasn't any solution to my problem.
    _Here is, actually, my situation:_
    1. I have a wireless router that's connected through Ethernet to my provider. To connect to the internet I must use VPN, and router must be VPN-Pass-Through-capable. So I can't simply use TimeCapsule instead of my current router.
    2. I have a TimeCapsule and want it to use for a printer sharing and as a wireless 500GB HDD.
    So, in my opinion (I may be wrong), i should extend my currently wireless network with the TimeCapsule. But after I configure TimeCapsule through AirPort Utility, it says that it will restart TimeCapsule to update configuration. And after resetting Utility "*is unable to find*" my TimeCapsule. I've tried several hard-resets and re-configartions, but had no luck.
    What should I do, to make TimeCapsule working as I told in p.2?
    Thanks in advance!

    try bridge mode on that TC.

  • External Display resolution problem after resetting PRAM

    Gello, I've got Fujitsu-Siemens P19-2 monitor hooked up to my MbookPro and after resetting PRAM the correct display resolution disappeared from the "Displays" menu in System PReferences.
    So did the refresh rate option...
    What do I do?
    I really need to change the refresh rate and the resolution, but the refresh rate button is grey and unclickable, and the resolution simply isn't there (I need 1280x1024).
    REsetting PRAM and SMC didn't help.

    After a couple of resets everything went back to normal

  • Hi. I tried to change my old icloud account on a new one. After reset the settings I need to enter my old Apple ID account and password, that I don't remember.

    Hi. I tried to change my old icloud account on a new one. After reset the settings I need to enter my old Apple ID account and password, that I don't remember.
    I do not remember it because when I bought the my iPhone 4s in 2011 I didn't understand how it works and asked a representative to set it up for me. The representative helped me and gave a piece of paper with login and password but I lost it a long time ago.
    Before resetting the settings I turned off "Find my iPhone" function, but it anyway asks me to enter my old Apple ID and password. I have the original box, documents, receipt. So how can I solve this problem?

  • After reset Mail hangs w/spinning ball on "Reading table of contents"

    This problem is on a 17" monitor Power PC G4, 256mb DDR SDRAM.iMac, half ball bottom, with Mail, with Systems 10.3.9
    After Reset, Mail is hanging with the spinning beach ball on "Reading table of contents." Quite a few emails are being retrieved and placed in the Dock before the hang, and Mail responds to mouse commands up to the "hang." Then a Force Quit is the only way to proceed. Other programs run OK, with Mail "hung."
    The reason for the Reset is that my daughter reads "fan fiction," and can go through a hundred pages in an hour, and the computer gets so plugged up that it takes FIVE MINUTES to retrieve, then display another Safari window. Empty Cache does not help. So, to get things back to normal, a reset is required. Something went wrong on this reset.
    This happened once before, possibly with OS-X 10.2, and I was advised to delete a file somewhere deep in Systems, and Mail apparently made a "new" file and all was fine from then on. My "guess" is that Mail then makes a new "table of contents."
    Anybody know what file to delete? Or any other advice? At the moment, I am getting Mail with another IMac, with System 10.2
    iMac 17" "half ball bottom" 1 GHZ PowrPc G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Hello Jean.
    When you use the term "reset", are you referring to a
    computer restart?
    On this PowerPC with 10.3.9, what is the hard drive
    capacity and available free space?
    If the problem Inbox mailbox is for a POP type
    account, with the Mail.app quit and using the Finder
    go to Home > Library > Mail > this account named
    folder (named by the user name and incoming mail
    server for the account) > INBOX.mbox.
    Move the INBOX.mbox to the Desktop.
    Launch Mail and if successful, a new (and empty)
    INBOX.mbox will be created automatically by Mail
    within this account named folder when receiving the
    next message with this account.
    This should allow the Mail.app to function properly
    again while working on the old INBOX.mbox move to the
    Desktop to recover the existing messages.
    Control-click on the old INBOX.mbox moved to the
    Desktop and at the menu window that appears, select
    Show Package Contents.
    List the package content file names and size of
    each here.
    I have had the same problem as Jean - did what you advised and now find mail runs find but need to rescue the old mail.
    This is the package content of my old inbox:
    content index 36 kb
    content_index-computername.local-372 10.9 MB
    info.plist 4 kb
    mbox 939.1 MB
    tableofcontents 1.5 MB
    hope you can help me...

    I want my apps back.
    Thanks,
