Change router address?

Our SMC router died today at work. I replaced it with a new Airport Extreme. Now all the Windows computers here are looking for a specific router address. Rather then change them all, I would like to just change the router address to match that of the previous. Cant seem to figure out how to change the address. I can see the address, but cant make any changes to it. Is this not an option? Or what am I missing here?

My guess would be that the 64.230.197.40 address is the WAN side IP address that you are receiving from your service provider.
The 192.168.1.1 or 10.0.1.1 is the local area network address. Depending on which range you choose, devices connected to the AirPort Extreme will receive IP addresses as follows 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3, etc. Or if you are using 10.0.1.1 as the router address, then it would go 10.0.1.2, 10.0.1.3, etc.
I think your devices should be pointed to either 192.168.1.1 or 10.0.1.1.
If you open AirPort Utility and click on your AirPort Extreme, to the right you will see some information about the device. The IP address of the device on your local network will be displayed there. If you haven't changed the DHCP ranges, the IP address will be 10.0.1.1.

How to change mac address on wrt54g router

How to change mac address on wrt54g router?

are u sure u wanna change the MAC of the WRT54G ? it's not possible....you can however clone the MAC address of your PC onto the router...depending on your ISP.

Router changed IP address

My WRT54G changed its address on its own after two weeks. I was on vacation and suddenly unable to access VIA the Internet. When I returned I found the router address changed. What do I do to keep the address static?

Might be possible that due to Power surge the router is resetted & the Ip goes to Invalid range ....
So you need to reconfigure the router ....

My Photosmart D100a wireless printer keeps changing IP Address when router reboots.

My Photosmart D100a wireless printer keeps changing IP Address when router reboots.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
- Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet".How can I change ip address?

My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet". If this is the root of the problem,how can I change ip address?
Ipad will connect no problem to other networks.

First thing you need I think is to get your iMac connected to the Internet.
Shut down your iMac and you iPad. Then power off your router. Wait 30 seconds and power up the router.
After the router indicates that it is connected to the Internet then start up your iMac and see if it connects. If the iMac connects to the Internet then your iPad should too.
If this power up sequence doesn't work you'll have to dig into the router setup to make sure it is working properly.

Can't change MAC address of my wireless card on Windows XP

Dear Forum Members,
I have recently bought a notebook, Lenovo IdeaPad G550L (I haven't found section for the G series here on the forum) and would like to use its WiFi adapter (BCM4310 according to Everest) with explicitly changed MAC address. I installed the recommended driver, available from Lenovo's website, version 5.10.38.14. I tried the common way to change the MAC address, went to Control Panel -> Network Interfaces -> Broadcom Wireless Network Adapter -> Configure... -> Advanced -> Locally administered MAC address, and changed it to a different address (without ":" or any separator characters). Unfortunately this common solution won't work at all. Although, no error messages are produced when changing it (so it seems successful) my wireless router shows me the original MAC address of my integrated wifi card. Tried to restart my computer, my router, everything.
* Tried different drivers, downloaded a driver from HP which had a separate wireless configurator, Broadcom Wireless Utility. It worked like the driver from Lenovo (except this one hasn't got the utility), but I was still unable to change my MAC address.
* Tried a different driver from SoftPedia, version 5.10.79.14 (this is newer than Lenovo's), it didn't work either.
* Tried Nathan True's MACShift utility. It seemed to change the MAC address, but my router showed the original, so it didn't.
* Tried to look for official Broadcom drivers on www.broadcom.com but found nothing for BCM4310.
* Finally, I booted my alternative OS, the latest Ubuntu Linux, and used the kernel driver b43 for my wireless adapter. I tried to change my MAC address using the command ifconfig wlan0 hw ether .... and connected to my network. It worked, my router showed the changed MAC so the hardware (or the firmware) is capable of doing this by the right driver/firmware.
I tried to address Broadcom with the issue, sent them a letter like this post they replied that they are not competent, they wrote the following (I guess this was an automatically generated message because it got back in 10 seconds ) from [email protected]:
"As the chipset supplier, Broadcom provides driver support to our customers - the manufacturers of wireless devices - that ultimately provide products to end customers, such as wireless LAN vendors, cable modem vendors, and notebook providers. It is up to these manufacturers to provide product-specific drivers and software support to their end customers. Please contact the manufacturer of your wireless device for their current drivers"
Then I addressed Lenovo with the problem, their answer:
"Dear ******,
Thank you for contacting Lenovo, the makers of ThinkPad and ThinkCentre products. As I understand, you have purchased a Lenovo IdeaPad G550L and would like to use its WiFi adapter (BCM4310 according to Everest) with explicitly change MAC address.and you would like to know is there an official driver for Windows XP that allows you this basic feature like b43 in Linux. We apologize,Please do speak with our Idea pad technical Team at 877-453-6686 Option 1-2-1-2 for further assistance.
If you have further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at 866-42-THINK (84465) option number 2. We will be happy to assist at that time.
Once again, thank you for contacting Lenovo.
Sincerely,
Lenovo Websales/CustServe"
So this means I should call them and spend extra money for phone bill of international calls because of their fault of providing a basic feature that is to be expected from every single wireless card in the market. Should I believe that a guide over the phone is more efficient than a step-by-step solution or a link to an alternative driver? I'm getting kind of disappointed. At least they have understood (or copy-pasted) my problem, dutch comfort though.
Any ideas? Anyone experienced the same problem and solved it? Is there an official (or even unofficial) driver for this device for Windows XP that allows me this basic feature (like b43 in Linux)?
Thanks in advance,
str4ngS

Yes, I have posted this thread to different forums after I realized that Lenovo "customer care" is not likely to help me out and even wirelessforums.org members couldn't come up with any ideas for days, that's why. I have already written that helper applications like SMAC (or etherchange or macshift) don't work, because they do the same thing in the system as I change it in the driver panel, so they use the same method which simply does not work.
Locked? Definitely not. If yes, why can I change the MAC of my adapter under Ubuntu Linux using b43 open-source driver if it's really locked? Or you mean it's locked from software, because Lenovo or Broadcom didn't want their users to change their MACs or they just forgot to release a fully-functional driver? Well, then I would like to have a driver in which it's not locked, because this is a basic feature of my adapter of which the hardware is capable.
I have already contacted Broadcom, see their (automatically-generated) answer in my initial post, but I will try to do that again with more foresight.

Changing MAC Address

Recently i have been trying to change my Router's MAC Address. I have a WRT54g v.3. I have done it before where i had unplugged the internet cable going from the wall to the modem. I saw the change on the 192.168.1.1 status page. And i noticed with a proxy and the new changed MAC address i was able to get into gaming servers i hadn't been able to before because my IP was banned.
Now when i try to change my MAC address, it doesn't seem to change on the router stautus page like it did once before. I'm sure that it's possible to concel my identity of my old IP and get a new IP (through a proxy), many people do this for security reasons so i'm hoping linksys products can offer some kind of security by doing this.
btw, sorry about the name, if it's possible can it be changed to Joe. Thanks guys.

Your MAC is "stuck" to that router, you need to spoof it. Google it.

Is it OK to change ip address

I had a lot of trouble getting my router set up. Then it worked just fine. The next day my desktop couldn't get to the internet, but the wireless laptop could. Called Linksys and was on the phone for over an hour. They changed the ip address. Worked fine for a few hours, then same thing happened. Called Linksys, got another tech in India. She changed ip address again (among other things). It is now working again. I had talked with BellSouth earlier, and they said ip address must always be 192.168.1.1. Will it go down again?

well..if you have bellsouth as your ISP , check what ip address do you get when the computer is directly connect to the modem....if you something like 192.168.1.x. ,,, then the ip address on the router will be 192.168.2.1....however the default ip address on the router is always 192.168.1.1....
now if you are getting connection drops with this kind of the configuration , ask bellsouth to "bridge" the modem......

What is Router Address in Airport Extreme

I am trying to configure Airport Extreme for Cable modem(Comcast). Please help me on what i need to fill in Router address field for 'using DHCP' option.
Can I see the address in Airport extreme itself or is it is referring to any IP or something.

I was having problems connecting the Time Capsule to our Roadrunner modem. Time Capsule gets the IP address from the cable modem, but you have to convince the modem to accept that its router has changed and it needs to re-assign the IP address. One way is to turn the modem off, wait a bit, and turn it back on.
For me, suggestions to power off the modem didn't work. But this was because the modem works for our phone service, too, and it has battery back-up. Unplugging the modem never forced it to reconnect.
What worked was disconnecting the modem from the cable. I unscrewed the F-connector (antenna cable) from the back of the modem, waited a few minutes, then reconnected. I got a green light!

Change routing on iPad?

My home network connects to the internet through two different routers (and two different providers) one of which is a wi-fi router.
This router (fiberoptic WLAN) is also connected, through its internal switch, to the second one (ADSL router, no wireless).
Their IP addresses are 10.0.0.7 and 10.0.0.138. The 10.0.0.7 acts also as a DHCP server.
Using my PCs I can switch from one provider to the other simply executing a .bat file that changes the routing from, let's say, 10.0.0.7 to 10.0.0.138. This is important when my kids...saturate one provider's band
But I cannot find a way to change it easily, using the iPad. I have tried to recreate the wifi connection putting a static IP address and 10.0.0.138 as router address. But it is not what I was looking for...
Any advice?
Thank you!

I am in what seems to be an identical scenario.
I haven't had luck getting the Apple TV remote events yet, but I did get the iPhone headset play/pause, next, previous events.
1. Register as described in the link.
2. Play a sound (in my case with an AVAudioPlayer object)
3. Now remote events work for me.
You could probably play a silent sound to start the notification listening. I'll report back if I get it to work on a TV.

Setting router address

I access the Internet via an 802.11 Netgear router, which in turn routes packets to ISP-side gateway, and then on to ISP-run NAT.
The Netgear router runs a DHCP server, which assigns requestees IPs from a 10.222.139.* block assigned to me by the ISP.
ISP's gateway is at 10.222.222.254. The Netgear router is configured to give out the router address as part of DHCP lease. The Apple laptop I have seems to be ignoring the setting, insisting that the router is at 10.222.139.2, which is the static address of the wireless router.
I tried working around this bug by trying to specify the gateway address manually, but OS X seems to have the setting disabled when address is assigned by DHCP.
The issue is definitely Apple-related, as I have two laptops running Windows XP, a laptop running Windows Vista, and a laptop running Ubuntu Linux, and they all Just Work without me needing to change any of the settings.
How can I make an Apple laptop either do what the DHCP server tells it, or manually configure it to get the address from DHCP, and hardcode that parts it ignores so the Internet connection works?

What do you mean when you said: "As soon as I change the address under Router IP, and after that enter the new router address (eg 192.168.1.254), I get this phenomenon that I cannot login to the router anymore." Are you entering two addresses? You should only be entering one address.
Please follow this procedure:
1) Power down your entire network. Disconnect the WRT160N from all other devices.
2) Power up the WRT160N and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
3) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release the button and allow the WRT160N to reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
4) Power down the WRT160N. Connect one computer, by ethernet cable, to a LAN port on the WRT160N.
5) Power up the WRT160N and computer. Login to the WRT160N at 192.168.1.1 .
6) In "Network Setup", change the "Router IP address" from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254
7) Change the "DHCP server" to "disabled".
8) Click the "Save Settings" button. Wait (3-60 seconds) for the screen to refresh. At this point in time, you will likely be disconnected from the WRT160N. Do not worry about this.
9) Power down the WRT160N and your computer.
10) Next, using an ethernet cable, wire a LAN port on your modem to a LAN port on the WRT160N. Leave one computer wired to the WRT160N. Do not connect anything to the Internet port on the WRT160N.
11) Power up your modem, WRT160N, and your computer. It should work. Using the computer that is wired to the WRT160N, try to access the WRT160N setup page at 192.168.1.254
12) If you still have trouble, repeat above procedure, but give the WRT160N the address 192.168.1.2 , and see if that address will work.

Can't connect to ISP until ping ISP router address

I recently added a new MacBook (w/latest 10.5 updates) and had a lot of difficulty getting it to connect to our ISP through our AE. So much so that I reset our AE and re-entered all the information, creating a new network name and new network password. The AE is setup to share a specific ISP supplied IP address with a specific ISP provided router IP address and 2 specific ISP provided DNS IP addresses using DHCP and distributing a range of IP addresses for our 3 computers (2 airport connected MacBooks and 1 wired enet connected iMac). I also set it up to bind specific IP addresses to each computers MAC address using the airport MAC addresses for the MacBooks and enet MAC address for the iMac.
Now when I try to connect from the older MacBook or iMac (both of which are running 10.4.11) it may or may not work until I actually ping the ISP router address from a terminal app window. Once I've pinged the ISP router the connections seem to be okay for a while.
If I shut down the computer(s) and come back the next day I have to ping the router again before I can make a connection. I've not yet seen this problem with the new MacBook that's running the latest 10.5.
Any ideas why I need to ping the ISP router from the older (10.4.11) computers before connections can be made?
Have I missed some configuration step in the AE?

Thanks for your respond . I gave it a try and still didn't work . Here the thing I been messing around with the setting just to be sure I enter everything right I could of change a setting that I shouldn't of , now I'm not sure if everything is correct . Where is the guide or steps I can follow to be sure my setting are correct . I'm using cable connection . I know my pop and smtp are correct but I'm not sure as to whether the other areas are . I mean if this or that should be check .

How to change mac address on time capsule

Hi there,
How to change mac address on time capsule?

There are routers that allow you to create/clone a mac address to whatever you like. Since many companies use the mac address to 'register' a unit connected to it's system, you usually just have to let them know you've changed your router and they will reset your system to accept connections from the new device.

Must I change router's ip if I use vpn---RV110W

Hi there:
The ip of my RV110W is 192.168.1.2. Now I'm adding a row in vpn clinet setting table.When I put the save button the page shows"in order to ensure proper functionality.the router need to change its ip address to 10.x.x.1". So. I need to konw Must I change router's ip to 10.x.x.1 in order to use VPN? it's very Inconvenient cuz my devices are all set to 192.168.1.x range.

Hello,
Im sorry you are having issues with your device.
You are right, the router will force you to change the IP address when you try to date a new VPN user, if it is still using the 192.168.1.X IP address, this is to prevent issues when people is connecting remotely as that subnet is the most used one and if somebody tries to connect remotely while using the subnet 192.168.1.X then the connection will be rejected.
Now, you don't really have to change it if you don't want to (I wouldn't advice it as the feature is there for a reason and most likely you will have issues with users connection from the same subnet).
What you can do is to change the IP address to whatever you like, create all the VPN users and then change the IP address back to what you want to, this way you fool the router and you can keep your current IP address (again, this is not recommended)
I hope this was help helpful, please let us know.

Changing IP address of 10.6 Server connected to 10.5 OD Master...

I need to change the IP address of my 10.6 Server. I plan on running the changeip command, but because changeip under 10.6 no longer manipulates the directory, do I need to do anything else?
I know if this server was the OD Master, I'd have to run an additional script to deal with updating the directory information, but since I'm only connected to an OD Master (a 10.5 Server) I'm wondering if there's anything else I need to do on the 10.6 Server?
Thanks,
Kristin.

If it's not the OD Master, changeip should do everything you need it to as long as you're well aware of the network and it's subnet boundaries etc.
You can verify the changes in System Prefs... Just go in there and ensure that the IP Address is correct along with the subnet mask, the router address, and the DNS Servers.
If you're moving the server to another subnet, then you should probably disconnect it from the Master first otherwise when it gets its new network address it'll probably throw up all kinds of nasty errors when it can't find it.
