Befw11s4 - setting up 2nd wireless laptop

I have two wireless laptops to set up on my network. The first laptop I was able to set up by changing the WEP address as instructed in the linksys tech support page. The 2nd laptop is giving me trouble. I wasn't sure if I needed to give this laptop a new WEP address or not, so I did. The 2nd laptop now has limited connectivity. I tried using the first laptop's WEP address for the 2nd laptop - but same thing - limited connectivity.
Can someone tell me how to get the 2nd laptop connected?

Hi Roxy...
access your router set-up page and follow this
just follow this..
http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=4055&p_sid=6iYl4KEi&...=#
use only one wep key is needed because that will serve as the restriction of your router for other people who wants to get online wirelessly ( in short like a thief)...

Setting Up The Wireless Printer On My Daughters New Laptop

Hi,
I have just started using Airport Express at my girlfriends. I have setup her laptop to also have wireless access to the printer.
The printer is a Dell All In One Printer A920,
my girlfriends laptop is a Dell Inspirion 1150, my daughters new laptop is a Dell Insprion (I can not remember the model number).
I have just bought a new laptop for our daughter and i want her to be able to use our printer from her bedroom wirelessly as well.
How do I set up her laptop to use our printer?
Obviously, my girlfriends laptop had the original printer software on it for the printer while it was connected via USB. I had to then set up the printer again using Add a Printer, in Printer and Faxes in the Control Panel, so she could use it wirelessly, as per the Airport intstructions, but the printer software was already there.
My daughters laptop does not have this software on it. Do I need to install it first, even though the printer is not connected to it physically, or can I just set it up using Add a Printer? The instructions don't explain how to set up a second computer correctly to use the wireless printer!!
What is the correct procedure for setting up a second laptop to use the printer on my wireless network??
Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it.
Dell Inspiron 1150 Windows XP I am about to switch to Mac!!!

I have tried both myself, (I must say iFelix does a very good job), I find out that the Bonjour is more easy and proves it works prefectly under few system. Regarding the suggestion of iFelix, I do not the reason behind, in few cases it did not work (NOT THE SETUP BUT THE PRINTING)on my HP's printer, but no problem at all under the Bonjour.
You just need to download and install the Bonjour on your computer, connect your printer with your airport, make a connection between your daughter PC with the airport. Then run the Bonjour setup, follow the instructions, you will able to see the printer there, just add the driver for your printer. Good Luck

Setting up a wireless network in my home

We recently switched our IP service from sbc to Comcast. I am in the process of trying to set a wireless network with all of our computers.
This is the equipment I have: The old modem used from sbc, the new modem from Comcast and a Linksys wireless adapter (not router) the small one with one antenna.
It is impossible for me to figure out how we were set up previously because it was all tied into a separate phone line that my husband used for work, that phone line has been disconnected and since then we have lost all abilities to use all but one computer. The sbc modem was hooked up to the 2nd phone line and my husbands laptop. We also have to desktop computers and 3 laptop computers in the home as well.
Neither of the desktops has built in wireless capabilities, but the lap tops do.
The main desktop computer is connected to the Comcast modem via an ethernet cord. The 2nd desktop computer was set up wirelessly with the linksys adapter. Somehow this was all linked together with the sbc modem (had to use the number from the bottom of the modem to access wirelessly for the laptops.
The only computer that works in the home right now is the main one directly connected to the Comcast modem.
I don't know if I am able to set up the wireless network for all of the computers
with just the Comcast modem and the linksys wireless adapter (not a router).
If so can you assist me, if not what do I need to get this done?
Thanks for your help.
Hope it wasn't too confusing for you.
Nina

As Previously you were having DSL as your ISP. Most of the DSL Provider Modem has the DHCP server configure in it, and i believe the Modem which you must be having its might be a Wireless Modem **bleep** Router.
As you have Switched your ISP from DSL to the Cable (Comcast). So in this case to make your all the computers go online wirelessly and wired, you need to get a Wireless Router.

Problems Setting up my wireless network with an Xb...

Hi, I have had some problems setting up my wireless networking.
I have everything switched on and am able to go online with the laptop and the Xbox with no problems but when I try to share media with the xbox I have problems.
I have opened the ports specified in the setup from xbox on windows firewall and have no problem connection Via Ethernet cable but when using wireless the xbox cannot detect the laptop.
I have checked the network map and both xbox and laptop are connected and have enabled sharing and am running sharing software.
Below is the network map.
I have also been having problems with BT software, the free virus protection will not install, The desktop help will not launch although it shows up on task manager and the installation disk does not launch correctly it doesn't get past the loading screen.
I have had a printer on the wireless network and had no problems printing.
If anyone knows how to resolve this please help.

I have this same Motorola modem and I just verified that my 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) can get Internet access with this modem without any issues.
When changing ISPs (or networking equipment) it's always a good idea to start from "scratch" in configuring your equipment.
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
Power-up the base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, computers connected to the base station, either by wire or wireless (as appropriate for the base station type), should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options.

How do I set up a wireless network at home??

Hi,
I am new to Mac's. I want to set up a wireless network at home, but I have not got a clue about AirPort, what it is or what it does!?! I am getting a new Mac, but my wife is currently using a Dell Windows laptop and our daughter is using a Windows PC. How do I set up a wireless broadband network at home which works with my Mac and my familys PC's? What do I need to buy and what do I need to do with them? I already have a broadband connection at home. Currently, my wife's PC is connected directly to the broadband modem (via an ethernet cable) that was supplied by the brodband company when I signed up to broadband.
Thanks for all your help with this.

scooter has provided links to Apple's pages for the AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS).
Both of these devices are IEEE 802.11g wireless routers (also called base stations). If you have an Ethernet connection to the Internet (for example DSL or cable modem), you can connect either of these devices directly to that connection and create a wireless network. Since Ethernet and IEEE 802.11g are worldwide standards you can connect any compatible device (including PCs running Windows).
Every computer needs a unique IP address. You can think of an IP address as a street address for your house. A unique address guarantees that items addressed to you get to you.
Typically ISPs provide users with a single (one) public IP address. A public IP address is visible to anyone on the Internet. A router uses the single IP address provided by the ISP and creates multiple local (non-public) IP addresses for you computers. This allows you to use multiple computers.
If you need to connect both wireless and Ethernet computers you will need the AEBS. The AEBS provides a separate LAN port for Ethernet computers.
BTW, you can accomplish the same thing with any inexpensive wireless router.
The advantage of the AEBS over other routers is (a) built-in 56k modem for connecting to a dial-up ISP and (b) USB port for a single compatible printer.
The advantage of the AirPort Express over other routers is (a) sound output port for streaming music to a stereo and (b) USB port for a single compatible printer.

Frustrated trying to set up a wireless network with Bellsouth Fastaccess's Westell Wirespeed modem.

Today, about 6 hours ago in fact, I came home with a Linksys WRT54G wireless router. It took me a while to get a grasp on how to connect it. I had no network port on the back of my PC, as far as I knew, and I had been connecting my Westell Wirespeed modem to my PC via USB for years. In the end I ended up spending an hour digging up the old Ethernet cable that came with the modem, and finally managed to do everything the Router setup program asked of me.
One hour after restarting multiple times, experimenting with different orders of plugging in things, and countless resettings of the Router AND the modem, it finally set up the network. It ran for an hour.
One of my cats ran behind my computer, jarring one of the cords and causing the PC to turn off. It happens twice or thrice a year when they get rowdy. When I jiggle all the plugs back into place and turn on my computer, the connection was dead! Gone! And there was nothing in my Program Files that said "Start Linksys Network" or anything convenient like that. I suppose that would be too easy, right? And my internet didn't work either! So with no other choice, I opened up the installation program again - there was no trace of any sort of folder or application on my PC linked to the router. In fact, as far as I can see, I still have no way to get into ANY sort of router-related application aside from the install CD.
So I stuck that back in there.
I've spent the last three hours grueling over this thing. I connect it all before turning the PC on. Nothing. I disconnect everything and plug it all back in meticulously step by step according to the program. Nothing. The install program always gets through the PC checking, and lets me fill in the PPOE (or whatever) information. As it tries to update the router configuration, though, it tells me one of two things.
1 ) If I have just done a reset of the router, it gets to 99% in the router configuration progress bar before telling me the 'router configuration failed'.
2 ) If I exit the setup program and reopen it, I get a generic "So and so has caused an error in 4746545x48345675 (or some other random number)," and asks me to either Cancel or Debug.
My hands are sore and I'm stressed to the limits. I bought a laptop a week ago for the sole purpose of alleviating the battles my kids have over the only source of internet in the house, but it's just been sitting there. I'm really at the end of my wits. Between the errors that don't tell you what went wrong and the perfectly-connected router that keeps pretending it's not connected, I'm just about ready to return the laptop.

This happened to me when I was setting up the wireless router for a friend. The issue is with the Westall modem. You need to go in and setup the "bridge" option on the westell modem. The link below gives directions or you can call bellsouth dsl support (this is how I learned about it).
http://help.bellsouth.net/bellsouth/asp/contentview.asp?isbrowse=true&sprt_cid=3f993409%2Ddff7%2D422...
Good luck
Solution:
Method 1 - Hard Reset
Restore the modem to default settings by pressing the Reset button on the back of the modem and holding it for 3 seconds. (Bridged mode is the default setting for the Westell).
After the modem regains sync, it is in Bridged mode. Do not attempt to surf into the modem as surfing into the modem will enable the Easy Login page and convert the modem from bridged mode to a PPP mode.
Method 2 – Bridged Mode
Access the Westell interface using http://192.168.1.254 or http://launchmodem.
Click on the Broadband DSL Line button.
Click on the Protocols button
Select the radio button to the left of Option 2 (Bridge)
Click the save button. Once the modem has restarted it is in bridge mode.

Can I Use My Time Capsule as a 2nd Wireless Router? Pls Help

Thanks for trying to help. I have a Time Capsule that I'm currently using to back up my files. My next door neighbor is willing to share his internet with me for half the monthly cost. He already has a wireless router and I can connect to it (no probs) except the signal strength is not so powerful since I'm a couple feet far from his router. I was wondering if I can use my Time Capsule to hook up the internet via WIFI through his wireless router (that way I have a stronger signal strength from my Time Capsule). Basically using my Time capsule as a 2nd wireless router.
Neighbour's wireless Router = Time Capsule = My Macbook
If I can please tell me how to set this up in details please. thanks for your time.
Message was edited by: Thomas Pink

You are trying to set up the Time Capsule as a Wireless Router
and Repeater? - To share an existing wireless network, wireless?
The AirPort Extreme was capable of repeating (like a transceiver)
to and from an existing wireless network, to expand upon it; but
only did this with another AirPort product, such as an Express.
The Time Capsule and many of its features are outlined here, with more
information: AirPort + Time Capsule: http://www.apple.com/support/airport/
You may have to direct your question regarding expanding an existing
wireless network, to the Discussions section for the specific products.
Usually, the "extend a network" wireless feature in the software setup
only applies to the use of a second Apple AirPort-type base station;
such as the Extreme, Express, etc. The compatibility is between the
AirPort-like Apple products; but a bridge could be made if an Express
were attached to the other wireless network via Ethernet cable, then
the Time Capsule may be able to see it. This would require testing.

Setting up a Wireless Network for dummies

I have been trying to find a good article online that specifically addresses setting up a wireless network using Airport and Macs. So far, the information has been surprisingly lean.
This is all I want to do ... I have a new Mac Pro tower in my office where my cable modem is hooked up. I would like to connect an Airport Extreme router to the modem so that my other two laptops in the house (an any guests on PCs or Macs) can connect wirelessly. (My Mac Pro does not need to be wireless, as it is a tower that always resides in the office). I also have a printer in my office that I want to be accessible to the laptops as well as my Mac Pro.
Because there are many walls throughout the house, and I don't want any connection weaknesses anywhere, including the back yard patio, I will need to extend the range of the Airport in my office. How do I do that? Via more Airport Base Stations, or Airport Expresses, or both? And if I need to add one or two more Airports, how do they connect to the network? Which cables go to which ports, and where does each originate? Then there's the question of naming these Airport zones. I just want this to be the simplest setup possible ... just one network that reaches throughout the house with WPA security and printer access.
Can anyone enlighten me on these details, or direct me to an article that covers this stuff specifically?
Thank you so much for your time.

First off, the following is a good document that you could use as a reference: Designing AirPort Networks 10.5 + Windows. In particular, you want to review the section on "Setting Up a Wireless Distribution System (WDS)."
Basically, you will want to acquire a 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) as your main base station in the WDS, and either additional AEBSns or AirPort Express Base Stations (AX) for relay/remote base stations ... as your budget permits.
For example, you would connect the AEBSn directly to the cable modem, and then, the AXs would be wirelessly connected to the AEBSn. Since the AEBSn has a built-in Ethernet switch, you can connect your Mac Pro directly to it via an Ethernet cable.
So, your network configuration would look something like the following:
Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > \[WAN port] AEBSn \[LAN port] > (Ethernet cable) > \[Ethernet port] Mac Pro, AND AEBSn > (wireless) > AX(s)
Then there's the question of naming these Airport zones.
In a WDS all of the base stations would use the same Network Name or SSID.

Adding wireless laptop to eMac cable modem

My eMac 700 mhz is connected to a cable modem via ethernet. I want to add a wireless laptop also using the cable modem so I can use the laptop anywhere, without having to add Airport on the eMac also. How can this be done?

You can do this with a wireless router - any model sold by your local computer shop will do, and should cost you around $30-60. At home:
- connect the cable modem to the router's WAN or "internet" port
- connect the eMac to one of the router's LAN ports
- your new laptop will of course connect wirelessly
All this can also be done exactly as I described with an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station (costs $199). For that premium price you get a device that is arguably easier to set up for Mac users, and you get a built in USB port that can be used to share a connected printer between both the eMac and the laptop.

How do I set up a desktop/laptop network with a WRT54G v5

I'm a novice when it comes ot networking, but I was hoping someone could guide me as to how to set up a wireless network with a laptop (non-linksys wireless card) and a desktop with a WRT54G. I've already got it where the laptop can connect to the internet via the WRT54G but I'd like to set-up a wireless network where the laptop can view and/or modify files on the desktop and vice-versa. Can aanyone help me? (I'd also like to add my external hard drive to the network I create via ethernet connection to the 54G, later on)
Can anyone give me a guide or even tell me if it's possible?

I'm glad it worked out for you. By the way, is this what you were trying to download? If so, I don't seem to have any problems downloading it. Check your PC's for any restrictions regarding downloads. Check your firewall as well.Message Edited by Katsuki23 on 06-30-2006 12:49 AM

Wireless laptop interferes with wired desktop

Just finished installing a WRT54GX4 router (after a 30 minute call to support). When the wireless laptop tries to connect to my WPA2 connection my wired desktop connection "blinks" or disconnects temporarily. The result is that my desktop connections returns and the wireless laptop is not able to stay connected. This must be a "sharing" problem with the IP addresses. Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue? Thanks

Firtst of all, I do not understand what you mean by "I can not access 192.168.1.1 setup on the laptop. I've tried using my WPA2 network name as the UserName and it's password and the default admin password is not working either."
When you access your router, you should be using a wired computer.
When you access 192.168.1.1 you should be using the router's login user name (if any) and login password. These have nothing to do with WPA2, the network name (= SSID), or the encryption password. Unless you gave your router a user name, it should be blank. Normally you only need the login password to enter the router setup pages. If you cannot enter your router, then sadly, it is time to reset your router to factory defaults, and setup the router again.
Your laptop is set to a fixed LAN IP address of 192.168.1.3. Is there some reason you are doing this? In most cases, you would want the laptop to obtain an IP address automatically from the router's DHCP server.
Do you have any other devices (computers, printers, etc) that are on your network. If so, what address are they using?
Also, I assume that the desktop's 192.168.1.100 was assigned from the router's DHCP server. Is this correct? If the desktop has been set to this as a fixed address, it is in violation of the Linksys rules for assigning fixed LAN IP addresses.
With Linksys routers, a fixed (static) LAN IP addresses must be assigned in the device that is using the address. So you need to enter the fixed address in the computer or printer, not in the router.
When using a Linksys router, any fixed LAN IP address must be outside the DHCP server range (typically 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149), and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255.
Therefore any fixed LAN IP address would need to be in the range of
192.168.1.2 thru 192.168.1.99 or
192.168.1.150 thru 192.168.1.254
assuming you have not changed the default DHCP server range.
If you are running an unsecured wireless network, then your neighbor may have a wireless device with an illegal fixed LAN IP address. In this case, secure your wireless network.
Just because your router is new, do not assume that your firmware is up to date. Many routers sit on the shelf for months before you buy them. To find your firmware version, login to your router, and look in the upper right corner of the page. Your firmware version should be listed there. If not, go to the Status pages of the router.

WRT160N - Router - wireless laptop unable to PING other devices

One of the laptops connected wirelessly on my WRT160n is uanble to PING or be PINGed by any other device on my network. Could this somehow be due to the router settings(firewall perhaps?) and not the laptop itself?
1) The laptop is able to PING and be PINGed when connected to another wireless router at another location.
2) Other wireless laptops on my WRT160n network are able to PING and be PINGed by other devices.
As a result, I am not able to print or share files on this network.
Any idea where I should start to isolate what may be causing this.
Thanks!

The router's firewall does not cause this type of problem. As long as all computers on the network can access the Internet, then the router does not put up a barrier to file and printer sharing, or pinging. The only exception to this rule is if "AP isolation" is set to "enabled" in the router --- then in this case, wireless computers can only access the Internet. By default, AP isolation is disabled, and you should leave it disabled if you want to share files and printers with your wireless computers.
The most common cause for the problem you described is a computer software firewall problem. Go into the computer software firewall on each computer in your network, and set it to "trust" the other computers on your network. Also, verify that you do not have two computer software firewalls (such as Windows Firewall plus another computer software firewall) running simultaneously on the same computer. If you do, turn one of the computer software firewalls off. On any given computer, never run more than one computer software firewall at the same time.
The next most common cause for the problem you described is simply a poor wireless connection. Note that poor wireless connections can occur even if your computer shows "5 bars".
There are many causes for poor wireless connections, and many solutions:
First of all, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
If your problem is that you are getting poor connection between your wireless n router and a wireless n adapter, then, in the router, make sure the "Radio Band" is set to "Wide".
Poor wireless connections are often caused by radio interference from other 2.4 GHz devices. This includes wireless phones, wireless baby monitors, microwave ovens, wireless mice and keyboards, wireless speakers, and your neighbor's wireless network. In rare cases, Bluetooth devices can interfere. Even some 5+ GHz phones also use the 2.4 Ghz band. Unplug these devices, and see if that corrects your problem.
In your router, try a different channel. There are 11 channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Usually channel 1, 6, or 11 works best. Check out your neighbors, and see what channel they are using. Because the channels overlap one another, try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors. For example, if you have a strong neighbor on channel 9, try any channel 1 through 4. For wireless n, make sure your standard and wide bands are at least 2 channels apart. For example try standard band on channel 11, and wide band channel 9.
Also, try to locate the router about 4 to 6 feet above the floor, in an open area. Do not locate it behind your monitor or near other computer equipment or speakers. The antenna should be vertical.
Also, in the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. If your current network is not listed, enter its info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings".
If the above does not fix your problem, download and install the latest driver for your wireless adapter.
Some users have reported improved wireless performance by switching to WPA encryption.
If you continue to have problems, try the following:
For wireless n routers, try setting the "n Transmission Rate" to 162 Mbps, and the (wireless g) "Transmission Rate" to 54 Mbps.
If you still have trouble, download and install the latest firmware for your router. After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
Hope this helps.
Printer Sharing: If the printer is connected directly to the router (by ethernet wire or wirelessly), then your computers need no special settings to share the printer. The router will share the printer automatically. However, a printer driver will need to be installed on each computer that is using the printer. In some cases, you will need (or want) the printer to be set to a fixed LAN IP address.
If the printer is connected to a computer, printer sharing has same requirements as file sharing (see below).
File Sharing: To share files, all computers must have the same "Workgroup name", all adapters (ethernet and wireless adapters) must be setup for "File and Printer Sharing". Additionally, each computer must have at least one folder designated as "shared".
Pinging: Pinging does not require the settings or setup mentioned in "Printer Sharing" or "File Sharing". So pinging should work even before printer or file sharing is set up.
