Can I use a WRT546 V8 Wireless Router in combination with Vonage?

Please bear with me if this turns out to be a simple question with a simple answer; I'm challenged when it comes to these things. I use Vonage, with a Motorola VT2442-VD router. That's connected to my desktop but I also have a Dell laptop (with Windows Vista) that will rarely if ever be in the same room as the desktop. So I need a wireless signal, but when I've tried to connect the Vonage/Motorola router with my Linksys WRT546 V8 Wireless it doesn't work properly. Either the wireless works and the Vonage doesn't, or the wireless doesn't work and the Vonage does. I've only tried a few times, but I've gotten frustrated with my lack of technical knowledge. When I get frustrated, I can barely plug in a light bulb much less deal with anything technical. If anyone has some advise/help for me, I would very very much appreciate it. And if you need more details in order to help me out, I'll be happy to give them to you (or at least try). Anything is better than what I'm doing, which is nothing given my current level of frustration. Thanks!

Well try upgrading the firmware of the router & keep on holding tightly
the reset button in such a way that power light is blinking on the
router & then do a complete network power cycle i.e., unplug the power
cables from the modem & from the router & then plug in the power cable
to the modem first once all the lights are solid green you could plug
in the power cable to the router & check out it will definately work!!
Also,the advanced wireless settings to Beacon Interval=50,Frag
thres=2306 & Rts thres=2307 & then uncheck a Block Anonymous Internet
Requests & it will definately work!!!

  • Can I use air print withoug wireless router?

    Is there a way to set up the HP envy 110a for Air print without a wireless router? Perhaps through a website?  Lost.
    This question was solved.

    Hello f5trouble,
    You cannot use AirPrint without being connected to a network.  If you do not have a wireless network, you can try connecting the printer and iOS device through an AdHoc connection.  To do this, turn on the wireless.  When you enable the wireless on the printer without connecting it to a network, it will start to broadcast its own network, ussualy called HPSETUP.  Next you need to connect the iOS device to the network the printer is broadcasting.  Once you have the iOS device and the printer connected via AdHoc, follow the normal steps to AirPrint and it should print.  I do not recomend setting up the printer and iOS device on an AdHoc connection, because it will automatically stop broadcasting after an hour, and you will have to reconnect them each time you want to use it.

  • Can I use airport as a wireless router for all of my other devices?

    I do not have any other Internet connection in my home and want to know if I can use this device as a wireless hotspot?

    The AirPort base stations can provide a wireless network to these devices but it will not have Internet connectivity unless you already have Interent service provided by an ISP. The AirPort will require an Ethernet connection to an Internet modem for that purpose.

  • My macbook can't seem to find my wireless router even though it is on and being used by my iphone and my ipad

    My Macbook can't seem to find my wireless router even though it is in use by my iphone and ipad.  I have tried to use diagnostics and it tells me that the router is not switched on, but it is on.

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If that doesn't help I and the problem persists I would have a technician take a look at your iPad. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Can I reuse my old Belkin wireless router as an extender to extend wifi from Time Capsule?

    I plan to buy the new Time Capsule and use it as my wireless router. Would it be possible to use my existing Belkin Play router as an extender of the "new" wireless netword provided by the Time Capsule?

    Apple designed the "extend a wireless network" function as a proprietary feature to only work with other Apple routers, so it would be extremely unlikely that a Belkin product would be compatible with the Time Capsule if you want to extend the network wirelessly.
    If you can connect the Belkin router to the Time Capsule using a wired Ethernet connection, you should be able to configure the Belkin router to provide more wireless coverage that way.

  • Using macbook as a wireless router for non-apple devices

    im trying to use my mac as wireless router for my xbox. i went into share under system preferences, and made a network with a WEP password. I can see the network on my xbox but it requires an IP adress...
    i guess what im really asking is, if the mac can automatically assign IP adresses to devices on the network

    I use my MBP regularly to share internet connection with PCs. Usually the PCs do a 'search' for a network and then 'connect' to the network name set in the Airport options... drop down panel. They get the IP automatically.
    In the system preferences>share> there is a button on the right bottom which says 'airport options..' and in the drop down panel, you set the name or SSID and the WEP key.
    Maybe you should check XBOX settings if the network settings are manual or automatic?
    Hope that helps.

  • Can you use Iphone hotspot to wirelessly connect to apple TV

    Can you use Iphone hotspot to wirelessly connect to apple TV.  ie I have no router but am interested in playing music from phone to apple TV.

    Yes in theory, though do check your phone contract small print and keep an eye on your data usage - in theory local data sent across the LAN created by the hotspot should not use 3G data but some carriers seem to treat it as internet data usage.

  • Can I use this as a wireless access point for my network

    can I use this as a wireless access point for my network

    umm... use what?
    A Time Capsule? Sure. It's just like many other wireless base stations. It can run in either bridge or route mode - in bridge mode it's just like an access point linking the wired and wireless networks together.

  • Can I use a non apple wireless hard drive with time machine?

    Can I use a non apple wireless hard drive with time Machine?

    Some NAS (network storage) systems do claim to support Time Machine, with varying levels of success. For example, the Synology units have this feature. They're not officially supported by Apple, though.

  • HT4145 Can I link up a Dlink wireless router to a Airport Base Station

    Hi All,
    need advise on whether can I link up a Dlink wireless router to a Airport Base Station and if can how do I set it up.
    with regards and thank you
    Chris

    If your goal is to either extend the D-Link's Wi-Fi network with the AirPort or the other way around, then the answer is no. That is because, most non-Apple routers are not WDS-compatible with the AirPorts.

  • If I buy the iPad 2 with 3g, can I use it on a wireless network without using the 3g?

    If I buy the iPad 2 with 3g, can I use it on a wireless network without using the 3g?

    I leave both 3G and Wireless permanently enabled. I find that whenever I am within range of one of my chosen Wireless networks it automatically uses Wi-Fi rather than 3G. When I am not my Ipad2 uses 3G.
    So in essence Wi-Fi takes priority over 3G.

  • Can I get my HP F4500 wireless printer to work with my Ipad?

    Can I get my HP F4500 Wireless Printer to work with my Ipad....It is an IOS 4.3.2

    Philip-
    I don't see a 4500 HP printer on the list of AirPrint printers, so you will most likely need an alternate way to print to it.
    One way is to use an iPad App such as Print n Share.  It has its own browser, mail, photo and text programs that can print to some non-AirPrint printers.  I don't know if it can print from within other iPad Apps.
    Another way is to use a computer to share the printer as AirPrint over WiFi, using a program like Printopia for the Macintosh.  For a free solution, search the web for AirPrint Activator.
    I recommend you try the free iPad App, HP iPrint Photo.

  • HT204023 Can you use the personal hotspot on the iPhone 4 with an iPad 4th generation ?

    Can I use the personal hotspot on the iPhone 4 with the iPad 4th generation which only has wifi ?
    Thank you in advance for your help :)

    Unlimited Internet is different than the carrier supporting the hotspot feature. I don't have an iPhone or an iPad with cellular. My limited knowledge about the hotspot is from reading support articles about it and from what I have read here in the forum.
    I don't know that circumstances with the carriers have changed, but initially, the was an extra cost to enable the hotspot feature on the iDevice. I believe that Verizon was charging an additional $20 per month for the feature. Check out the support article that I posted above.
    This is copied from that article that I posted above.
    Note: If you do not see the option for Personal Hotspot, confirm with your carrier that this feature is supported and your wireless plan is configured for Personal Hotspot. For additional troubleshooting, see this article.

  • Which Wireless Router works well with Satellite A200-401

    Just about to buy a Satellite A200-401 notebook can anyone suggest a good affordable wireless router that works well with this?
    steve

    Hm, thats a strange question because I doesnt depends on the machine, more on the installed wireless card. But usually a Netgear router is always a good choice...they are reliable, dont need much power and you can extend your network range with these special Nergear "Range externders".
    I have a Netgear WGR614 and it works like a charm, it has everything you need.
    Heres a link:
