Can't connect to my linksys befw11s4

i have an existing wireless router in place at home and all of a sudden one of my laptops can't connect to my linksys befw11s4 router. I can connect my other laptops and desktop with no problems. I have rebooted my router and cable modem several times to no avail. When I look at my connections on my dell inspiron 125 laptop, running vista home premium, it shows up as local access only. I have disconnected it and reconnected with no success. Any ideas?

Open the router setup page,click on the status page and note down the dns1 and dns2 no.On the laptop,assign the static dns under WAN and restart the computer...Now,check.

Can't Connect iBook to Linksys WRT54G

Hi - I am trying to connect my iBook wirelessly to a wireless network set up on a Linksys WRT54G router. The password is a 128-bit hexadecimal password. When I click on the name of the network, select the level of security (WEP 40/128-bit hex), enter the 26-character password, and click OK, I get an error message saying: "There was an error joining the AirPort network "(name of network)"". When I type in the hexadecimal password with a $ before it and select "WEP password" and click OK, I get the same message. If I select the 40/128-bit hex option and enter the 26-character hexadecimal password with a $ before it, I get the same error message. I have the unencrypted password as well and have tried it.
Any suggestions?

Hi - Thank you for your answer. I found out yesterday, and please correct me if I am wrong, that I have an AirPort card installed in my iBook (not an AirPort Extreme card) that will only connect to 802.11b signals. Seeing as how the network is 802.11g, that would explain my inability to connect. I am going to get a new MacBook soon anyway, which, I asssume, and please correct me if I am wrong, comes with a AE card. For now I guess I'll have to deal with my inability to connect at that friend's house.
Thanks!

Ipod touch 1st generation can't connect to my linksys wireless router wr110. THe signal is strong and there is a check mark beside my network name, but when I try to open safari it says "unable to find server".

My friends MacBook connected easily to my wireless, but why not the ipod touch? When prompted for "Password" I enter the security key info and nothing, nadda....zip. The MacBook asks for the "Security Key" info not "Password", like the touch. What's the difference?

Click on the blue arrow to the right of the network name, if IP address starts with "169." ,restart your router. It should connect properly after your router reboots in a minute or two.

Linksys Wireless Router BEFW11S4 - Shows connected, but I can not connect to the internet

I have a Linksys Router hooked up to a cable RCA modem using Comcast Cable. There are 3 laptops that hook up wirelessly to the router and they have been working fine for the past two years. However, recently all three laptops can not connect to the internet for some reason. I checked with Comcast and they checked out the modem and tested it and it works fine. When I hook my laptop up to the modem with an ethernet cable, it works fine and I can get on the internet. When I hook the modem up to the router and try to connect wirelessly it appears to be fine. It shows that the router is connected there is connectivity on all our laptops, however when I open a new internet explorer page to get on the internet, it does nothing. A blank page appears and the webpage will not load. Does anyone know how to fix this? Is it the router or the way it is setup in the admin page or could it be possibly something else? Thanks.

As it shows connected under wireless ....check the Ip address under wireless network connection .....
If it shows Ip 192.168.1.X ....with gateway 192.168.1.1 ..... try to pnig the gateway address ...
If getting reply try going online ....
Also disable the firewall first.....

24" iMac can't connect with Linksys

My new 24" iMac connects fine when hard wired to the Linksys BEFW11S4, but cannot truly connect by WAN. The diagnostics say that I am connected to the Internet, but the page (that doesn't come up) says that I'm not connected. The iMac is sitting right next to the router and our Dell laptop connects just fine. Any suggestions?
I'll try calling Apple in the morning. I'm a little discouraged by the whole PC to Mac process. I don't blame Apple completely, but they are clearly not as ready out of the box as the ads imply.

richperson,
I disagree. The most likely explanation for you and
others having a similar sounding problem is that so
many are first time Mac users. For one thing, many
first time Mac users simply do not take seriously the
"Welcome" setup procedure that appears when they
first startup their Macs. That setup will largely
determine whether subsequent operation will be
trouble free or not.
Eh,eh, you should as well tell the OP that he's doomed...
Since the Core 2 Duo is basically the same iMac as
the prior Core Duo that released just eight months
ago, it would be highly unlikely that there is
anything new that must be conquered. If one looks
across the other Mac discussion areas, it is common
that wireless networking problems are as persistent
an issue regardless whether the Mac computer model
has just been released, or is a five year old model.
Exactly...
One thing I do know is that AirPort works basically
the same in all Macs.
or doesnt !
Though I agree with you the OP probably did not configure properly airport authentification, parameters (or forgot to adjust MAC adress on the routeur or...), there ARE issues with wifi up to os 10.4.7. (I know of at least one bug more or less predictable and described it there : http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=618964 . I still hope I'll get some feedback on a bug report I submitted about 10 days ago...)
We won't know for sure why the OP can't connect wirelessly until he takes the trouble to detail exactly the configuration of the linksys and the steps he took... For all I know it could be an incorrect configuration (the most probable of course), a bug similar as the one I encountered or an hardware failure...
But it looks like the OP came there to complain and whine, not really for help...

My iPad will no longer connect to my Linksys wireless router. Every other electronic device in our house connects just fine. What can I do?

I have an iPad (the earliest version) that used to connect to my Linksys wireless router with no difficulty. One night recently I could not get on the internet through my iPad. I checked the Wi-Fi information, which said it was not connected.When I go through the process of choosing a network, on which my home system is clearly listed along with a very strong signal strength, I am told that my iPad is unable to join my own network. All the other electronic devices in our house are connected and functioning fine. Can anyone walk me through the steps to correct this problem?
I need to add that I took my iPad to the Appple store, and the clerk there reset something--I don't know what--and my iPad was able to connect to their network. When I came home, though, I was not able to connect to my home network.

If everything else is connecting with no issues, I would go into the wifi setting on the iPad and redo the info there, user, password and anything else related to your wifi at your house.
It is possible whatever he reset may have reset something to default setting which will not allow it to connect. If you need too then verify the wifi setting by comparing it with another device setting that works on your home network.
Good luck

Can only connect to Linksys E4200 when very close but PCs can connect at 50 feet. What's the solution?

Can only connect to Linksys E4200 when very close but PCs can connect at 50 feet. What's the solution?

If you're technically comfortable in getting to your Linksys settings - try changing the network mode or channel in your router's settings.
I still use my old Linksys router and when it's set to the default channel, which is 7, my Macbook Pro and Macbook Air sometimes have issues - changed the channel to 9 and have had no issues since.
Maybe it might work for you.
In any event - screenshots below are for your E4200 and play with those settings and see if any of the changes you've made improves how your Macbook connects. Before you change any settings, just remember what the old settings are in case you need to go back to your old settings.
Good luck.

Can't connect to Airport Express using Linksys WRE54g?

I am having problem connecting to Airport Express using Linksys WRE54G, under the following circumstances.
Here's my setup.
I am using Linksys WAG200G modem/wireless router in the studies. My house is fairly big and very weak signal in living room. Hence I added Linksys WRE54G Wireless-G Range Expander in living room.
I have two HiFi. One in studies and the other in living room. macbook and external HDD where I store all my musics sit in studies.
I use Airport Express (AE1) to stream music from macbook to studies HiFi. Works fine.
So I connect AE1 to living room HiFi. Macbook still in studies. The problem is iTunes cannot connect to AE1 now. However I still able to detect AE1, open/change settings using Airport Utility on macbook in the studies.
Now I bring macbook to living room. AE1 works!
What I intend to setup is,
1. WAG200G, macbook and external HDD in my studies.
2. AE1 connect to studies HiFi. I am planning to get another Airport Express for living room HiFi.
3. Control the playlist using iPhone Remote and listen music in living room.
Question:
1. Did iTunes connect directly to Airport Express without going thru network router?
2. How should I setup Airport Express in this case?
Appreciate anyone who can help me on this. Thank you.

pss.
actually, is it possible to do what i'm trying to do... the guy in the Apple store said that i can connect to the Netgear router for my internet connection, and Airfoil can separately connect to the Airport Express to play music...
the way i've set it up so far, i can do either, but i can't do both... or do i need to somehow connect both wireless stations together...??

Can I use the time capsule connected to my linksys wireless hub

I just bought the Time Capsule to use as storage and use my printer remotely. I already have at home a Linksys wireless hub, can I use both, the Time Capsule, and the Linksys ? With the Capsule connected to the Linksys.

I just bought the Time Capsule to use as storage and use my printer remotely. I already have at home a Linksys wireless hub
So, you want to use the Time Capsule only as a backup device and continue to use the Linksys router for your wireless network, is that correct?
If yes, are you able to connect the Time Capsule to the Linksys router using an Ethernet cable?

Can't connect PB G4 to linksys wireless router when 64bit is established

Hello-
I have my PB G4 connected (wirelessly) to a linksys wireless router WRTP54G. If I don't have security set on the router, the PB connects. Once I add the security (64bit) and enter the password, the message "There was an error joining the AirPort network” comes up and I can’t connect. I've connected my other laptop to the network (a PC).
Any ideas on how to fix this? Thank you in advance.

Does your router support any other form of encryption? See if this KB article makes any sense to you.
AirPort: Joining an encrypted wireless network
Personally, I have a sneaky suspicion it has to do with the way your ASCII/hexadecimal password is or isn't being converted to something recognisable by the router. I use a Linksys router at home with a hexadecimal password generated from an ASCII passphrase, and that seems to work fine.

HT4972 can't connect to network with linksys e2500

Can't connect to network with linksys E2500. Can anyone help me?

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

EA6900 Can't connect to Router error message from Linksys Smart Wifi

Hello Everyone, I am having an issue where I cannot remotely access my router. I currently have Charter as my ISP and have internet connectivity when at home. I can also access my router through Smart Wifi when on my local connection. When I try to access remotely I get the "Can't connect to the router" error message. I believe that I have enable the correct settings on my router to provide this service. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance. Mike Carlin

Thanks for the reply. ISP: Charter CableModem: Wish I could tell you at this point, but not at home and can't remember specifics. I thought that I did the association. Is this what you are talking about?http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=140177

I presently have a linksys wifi router, can i connect a time capsule through cat 5 cable for my apple products and to boost my signal .i live in a three story home and my linksys is in the basement. I have one cable on the top floor where most of my computers/ipads are.

Yes, configure the Time Capsule to create a wireless network using the exact same wireless network name and password as the Linksys wireless network.

Can't Connect to Linksys Admin over wireless connection

I just purchased a LinkSys WRT54GX2. Setting up the wireless network with my DSL modem was a breeze. However, I have one problem. I am only able to connect to the router admin from the computer that is connected by cable. My laptop can access the admin if connected by cable. However, when I have it connected wirelessly, it can't connect. Is there a particular setting I have forgotten?

They only recommend doing settings wired. Now, I have usually been able to do whatever I wanted wireless, but I consider that a bonus.

My laptops that don't have a linksys card, but built in wireless can stay connected to WEP

I have a linksys WRT54GS Version 5, firmware 1.51.0 (updating after this)

Re: My laptops that don't have a linksys card, but built in wireless can stay connected to WEP
OK since your security is set to WPA why do you want to go to WEP? DS? If everything is configured correctly you should not have to change anything. If you are connecting another device and forgot what your WPA setting were just go into the router and take a look see.
1. I set up everything, its all fine and ok
2. The DS can't connect to WPA, only WEP or Open
3. I know what my WPA settings are and the codes to both settings
