Can I please get some help!

Hey everyone, I recently purchased a Linksy's router (WRT 54G V8), I have a few questions and I'm hoping someone can help. 1) What exactly does the Cisco button on the front do, it's usually orange, but when I press the button it turns white? 2) When I first hooked it up (hard wired it to my desktop PC), it worked great, I disabled wireless in the routers settings since I won't be using it, however I did not create a password for wifi protection simply because I disabled it. Anyways after about a few hours I couldn't connect to the internet. If I disconnect the router and use just my cable modem I have internet, but not when the router is connected. I have no idea why it initially worked and now it doesnt, all lights are lit up, the router doesn't seem to be a lemon, but now I can't even get into the routers settings. I've tried resetting the router but it still won't allow me to get into the router to change anything. Someone suggested I might have to enable DHCP in the router or make some other changes, I would like to try and get this router working again but I have no idea how to get into the settings, I have no idea why the first time I hooked it up the router worked but after a few hours it wouldn't allow me to get online. I can't do ipconfig /release or renew because nothing comes up when the router is connected, it only works when the router is not connected. Anyways this seems to be a problem with many people, I'm runng Win XP Pro sp2 and if I can't get into teh router then I'm not sure what I need to do. If there's any advice please post a reply, thank you.

1) That button is for the easy link option when you try to connect wireless devices.
2) Do a hard rest on your router by pushing/holding the small reset button on the back panel for at least 30 seconds then release it.  Wait 2 - 3 minutes and unplug/replug the power cord.  Then connect a PC only to the router with a Ethernet cable. Then open your browser and type in http://192.168.1.1 into the address bar.  That should open your routers log on window to you routers user interface and by default the user is left blank and the password is admin.  That should get you into your routers settings and since you have a cable modem make sure it is set to Obtain IP Automatically and the DHCP is enabled with the IP range large enough to support all your PC's plus 2 or 3 for future additions.  Then the most important hit the save settings on each page after any changes are made to that page.  Then since you said you are not going to use the wireless go to the wireless tab and change the SSID to something other then linksys and disable Broadcast SSID.  Then make sure your router has the latest firmware installed and if not download and install the latest version.  If you do flash the firmware go back and do everything over like you did above except the hard reset.  Also, you should change the routers password to something you can remember or write it down in a save  place.
Here is a link to the web page with the information on your router.

  • Can I please get some help to cancel my annual subscription

    Hi Adobe Customer Support
    I would like to cancel my student annual creative cloud subscription as my circumstances are changing. But it seems impossible to manually cancel it myself, which is quite frustrating and there is hardly any ways to communicate with customer support. Please help.

  • I just got my iPhone 4 & need a lil help. May I please get some help?

    Ok...I finally got home & am able to play around w/ my new iPhone 4.
    I logged onto my iTunes account and a screen popped up saying "An iPhone has previously been linked to this computer"..Then I get 2 options:
    -Set up as new iPhone
    -Restore from the back up of
    And then I get the options to restore from my fiancee's iTouch and the 1 I used to have.
    By the way...we've never had iPhones before so for It to say that 1 was previously registered is odd...we've only had iTouch's.
    Anyways...I would like to transfer my apps. over.
    What do I do here?
    Do I resore from my iPod touch that I had or do I set up as a new phone?
    And If I set up as a new phone...can I still bring my apps over?
    Help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    Just to add a little bit, click twice slowly, and a box should highlight the name.
    BTW, don't share your iPhone with your fiancée. Nothing good can come of that.

  • Can i plz get some help, i need to create a vi that gives equation of straight line and graphs

     a vi that inputs two set of coordinates and computes the equation of the straight line joining these two sets of coordinates and graphs this line, and then i must compute the equation of a line perpendicular to this line and passes through (x3,y3) and graph this line.

    You should try to learn Labview basics before trying to tackle a Labview program.  I'll give you a head start because you are probably under some time constraint.  Try to code this and then ask for help when you need it.
    To start you off, use a For Loop.  Your graph will be finite, so wire in a reasonable number into the N terminal of the loop.  Use the i terminal as your X input and calculate Y for each X.  The output of the loop will be an array of Y values.  You can graph those values. 
    Learn how to post your vi here.  There are several ways.  The best is to use Laabview 2009 and create a code snipet (look under the Edit menu).  Then add the snipet to your post by clicking the Upload or Insert Image icon above (the icon looks like a tree).  You can add the vi directley by clicking on Add Attachments below the Tags box.  Be sure to state which version of Labview you are using.

  • Can I please get some answers about fraudulent access to my itunes account?

    Today I found three unauthorized charges to my itunes account. Following those three charges, three other unauthorized charges appeared from other software/gaming companies (NCSoft, Valve Software, and TMA). I can't get an actual person to answer the phone at Apple and I would like some answers about unauthorized access to itunes accounts. When I called my bank to report the fraud, they told me they had already received several calls this morning about unauthorized itunes charges and then larger, unauthorized software charges.
    I would really like someone from Apple to address these questions, are they aware that there are problems with itunes accounts? If so, what is being done?

    I had the same EXACT thing happen to me. This morning I looked at my bank account & there was a $1 charge from itunes (not unusual, except this charge did not come with an email receipt as they usually do) there there are two $49.99 holds on my account from Valve Software. I cancelled my card with the bank right away. I tried calling Valve Software and a message comes on stating "if you have a question about a charge to your bank account, press 7". Happen much??? hmmmm I left a message with no return call as of yet. I'm guessing someone hacked my itunes account.. Valve Software is a video game website that sells downloads on there as well as through itunes. Apple should immediately cease dealings with this company as they sound VERY shady. This is not the first blog I've seen about it. Now it's going to take time to get my money back & now I have to get a new card/card number. Pain in the butt because some hacker needs a thrill. jerks...

  • Can we please get some assistance for the Tap Chat product??

    This is my second post about this matter, and yet no response at all. I bought the tap chat in hopes that it would actually work. But when I press it down, it opens up my task manager, as if I just pressed ctrl + delete. It will not work with vent, it doesnt even show up on the audio control panel for the headset. So what gives? Are your drivers not able to work on a windows 7 64-bit OS? A response from one of you guru's would be great!

    Bustler, I already posted about this problem here: http://forums.creative.com/t5/Headphones-Headsets/WoW-SB-Tap-Chat-not-working-not-visible-in-Creativ...
    The device is recognized by Windows just fine. The problem is that it's not showing up under the Creative Audio control panel. Of course Creative suppot doesn't even know the device exists so we have little support atm. I'm hoping that posting here will get this problem some visibility as calling support directly has resulted in blank stares (figuratively) from the support personell and no return calls after they have promised to research the issue and device.

  • Hey can i please have some help? =(

    i upgraded but all it says is setting up bbm/temporary server error, yes my wifi works and yes i rebooted

    Hey etcetera,
    That's right. A supported data plan from your wireless service provider is required to use BBM. You can check out the system requirements right here in the release notes. http://bbry.lv/Z738ZK
    The Wi-Fi connection would be to keep BBM usage from adding to your data usage.
    Thanks.

    Remote App on iPad connects but drops after about  20 mins. Need to turn  off wait about 1 minute, then turn on wifi on iMac before it can reconnect. Need some help please.
    Already gone through troubleshooting guide a zillion times. Thanks.

    This worked for me... A little time consuming but once you get rolling it goes GREAT... Thanks....
    I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
    Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
    Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
    Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
    Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
    Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
    It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
    Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
    Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
    Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
    Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now.

  • My HT BDV-N790W shows "needs network update" also my netflix doesnt load. can i get some help

    My HT BDV-N790W shows "needs network update" also my netflix doesnt load. Can i get some help, please.

    There's a lot there, so I'll start with the parts I can answer quickly.
    The "ACL found but not expected..." messages can be safely ignored, so says this article
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306925
    (look below all the "SUID" examples)
    I had changed my Desktop image earlier but when the "Installing 1 item" window came up it changed back to the back ground that you first see on your desktop after installation.
    Leopard installs updates a bit differently. If it's simply an application that does not change system files, it installs them like before, without having to restart. If the update is to the system, then you must immediately "restart," It then goes to that stars and purple screen to perform the installation. Before, it would do the installation while you still had control of the Mac and would prompt you to restart when it finished the installation. This change probably make things more secure and reliable, because you aren't allowed to do other things on the Mac while system updates are being installed.
    Please post back with the remaining point of concern.

    when I do this steps thy give me a massege says " the iphone could not be restored . An unknown error accorred (3149) " . Can I get some help ?

    Try using DFU/Recovery mode to restore
    1. Plug iPhone 4 to computer
    2. open iTunes
    3. Turn off iPhone
    4. Press home and power button for 10 seconds
    5. Stop pressing the power. Button but keep pressing down the home button
    iTunes should say the following; "iTunes won't be able to use your iPhone until you restore your device"
    Then you'll have the option to restore and it should work, it has worked for me in the past
