Connecting 7500 with linksys 320n router

Would like to know if I need to carry out last step of canceling tcp/ip connection, in changing the westell 7500 to bridge mode?
Also, would that knock out the wireless usb adapter also a linksys,. If so how would I restore the tcp/ip connection. Would I need to reinstall the adapter?

Verizon says routed bridge.
#2 Despite it's title, follow this FAQ
http://www.dslreports.com/faq/13600
This includes using a wired connection to the modem.

They say to turn Wireless on.
Do not do do that.

You will need to set the wireless card/NIC to connect to your Wireless Linksys router.
Please follow the directions in the manual/user's guide that came with your Linksys router.

  • 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

  • How do I make airport time capsule work with Linksys cisco router?

    Hi all.
    I bought an airport time capsule 3T and want to connect it to the internet, using a macbook with OS X 10.9.2. Currently I am using a Linksys Cisco router model WAG54G2.
    I followed the steps of the setup airport guide: Connected the WAN port of the airport with an ethernet port on the router, plugged in the power cable, filled in the internet username and password. In Airport Utility I can see the airport and the internet icon, both with green dots most of the time. But it seems to disconnect every minute or so, green dots turning orange and the status light on the airport flashing orange. The internet light on the linksys also goes on and off. When the internet is on, it is quite slow.
    Advice is welcome!
    Kees

    No guarantees here. AirPort Utility 6.3.1 is a big drop down from the 5.x versions in Leopard and Snow Leopard.
    Hold in the reset button on the back of the Time Capsule for 9-10 seconds and release
    Allow a full minute for the TC to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
    Click the AirPort icon at the top of the screen and wait a few seconds for a listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear. Just below that, click on Time Capsule.
    The example below shows an AirPort Express. You will see Time Capsule.
    As soon as you click on the Time Capsule, AirPort Setup will open up automatically and take a minute to analyze the network....and probably suggest that the Time Capule will be configured to "extend"....which is wrong.
    Click the Other Options button at the lower left
    Click Add to an existing network
    Next to Connect To.....select the wireless network name from the drop down list....if it appears. Otherwise type in the exact name of the wireless network.
    Click Next
    Confirm any settings again and wait to see if AirPort Utility 6.3.1 will allow the Time Capsule to join the wireless network.
    You have about a 1 in 5 chance that this will occur.
    Post back on your results.

  • How to configure network printer with Linksys WRT54GL router network

    I just bought a Linksys WRT54GL router and I am planning to build the following home-network around it:
    1. A desktop computer connected to router via ethernet cable (hard-wired).
    2. An HP Network Printer (Color LaserJet CM1312 MFP) connected to router via ethernet cable (hard-wired).
    3. A notebook connected to router via Wi-Fi.
    I want both computers (desktop and notebook) to be able to share files, and also to share the same network printer.
    a. How do I do this?
    b. Do I need to install the printer drivers in both computers as if the printer was local for each one?
    c. What settings do I need to include in the Linksys router settings (and also the printer settings) to allow all this? I've read on the internet about DHCP configs, IP address, etc. but I hardly understand anything.
    A step-by-step ("for dummies") explanation will be extremely appreciated.

    You will need to install the printer driver on each computer that will be using the printer.  You will need to have a printer driver that is designed to be used on a network.   Many of HP's drivers (but not all of them) can be used for either a USB or a network connection.
    Usually, when you use HP's printer installation software, it will walk you through the printer installation procedure, and install the printer drivers.  This software is normally located on a CD that came with the printer.  Some installation software demands that you setup a USB connection first, then switch to a network connection.  Other installation software might install a network connection directly.  Just follow the HP directions.
    There are no special settings in the router.  Simply wire (using an ethernet cable) your printer to a LAN port on the router, when the installation software (or instructions) tells you to do so.
    Your printer will likely get a different LAN IP address (192.168.1.x )  from time to time.  Some printer drivers can handle this and still work properly.  Other printer drivers get confused, and cannot find your printer when it changes addresses.  If your driver has this problem, then you will need to assign your printer a fixed LAN IP address.  This will force the printer to have the same LAN IP address each time you boot up your network.   If you need to do this, you will need to enter the LAN IP address directly into your printer (Sometimes this is done using the printer's buttons and display panel, and sometimes this is done using HP printer software).  Note that any fixed LAN IP address must be outside your DHCP server range (defaults are 192.168.1.100  thru  192.168.1.149 ) , and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255.  If you need to use a fixed LAN IP address, I would suggest you use 192.168.1.13 , which should be easy to remember by looking at the model number of your printer.   If you need to use a fixed LAN IP address, you will also need to enter the Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway 192.168.1.1 , and DNS Server 192.168.1.1 , into your printer.   If you use a fixed LAN IP address in the printer, you do not need to change any settings in the router.  The router will automatically find your printer when you turn your printer on.   Even if your printer is using a fixed LAN IP address, your computers can continue to get their address automatically from the router's DHCP server. 

  • Connecting itouch via Linksys wireless router

    My itouch connects to my Linksys router but cannot log on to the internet ("server not found"}. My macbook connects fine and my itouch connects to other servers without problem. DNS, router # all are displayed on the DHCP panel and look fine. Any ideas??

    I'll repeat some steps to try that I posted in another thread ... some of these you may have done, but take note of #4, that's what bit me and I don't see that posted anywhere else.
    1- Turn on SSID broadcast if it is turned off. Your Touch needs to see the network in order to connect for the first time. You may be able to turn SSID broadcast off at the end, if you feel its necessary.
    2- Check the encryption type you're using (WEP or WPA) and whatever security code is being used. Make a note of that.
    3- Check to see if you have MAC Address filtering enabled. If so, disable it temporarily.
    4- Check to see if your router is set to only issue a maximum number of IP addresses. It bugged me for a long time why I could randomly get on my network sometimes, but not always. Turned out that my router was issuing a max of 4 IP addresses and when my Touch couldn't connect, it was because the max had been reached!
    5- Now see if your Touch sees your network ID. If so, select it and enter the passcode from step 2.
    6- If you're able to get on your network, check to see that your router sees the MAC Address of your Touch. Make a note of that address and add it to the MAC Address filter if you're going to turn it back on (see step 3).
    7- (optional) Change your home network to use Open DNS (http://www.opendns.com/), which has nothing to do with your Touch's ability to connect to your home network, but has some nice security and administrative features.

  • WRT1900AC integration with Linksys Hosted Router Management?

    I recently purchased a new WRT1900AC.  When I first started it up, I was prompted to set things up with a preconfigured Router Name and network Names, did so, and then quickly realized that I had made a mistake since everything on the wired portion of my network was already configured and working with the router that had just died and was being sent to router hell for its' sins.  I got everything working the way I wanted it, including working wireless access via the Android support app that lets me administer the router from my Samsung Galaxy IV smart phone.   The one limitation I face now is that the Linksys hosted web site that took my setup information initially, no longer knows about my router, so I can't log in to it from the network at my local community college where I'm working out at the fitness center and connected to the internet via their wireless network, or when I'm using Verizon's 4g network in my car.  I have some security concerns about giving the Linksys hosting site access to my router that were raised initially when I tried logging into their site via my 64bit Internet Explorer 11 with Norton Internet Security running which told me that the site certificate was being hosted somewhere other than where I was trying to log in, or was an invalid certificate and blocked me.
    I relly don't know how to most quickly and securely resolve this problem since I do not want to mess with my current router configuration, I just need to get the smart phone app which works fine within my local wireless network to be able to contact the router over the internet without having to set up my own VPN service or something like that so that I can come in to the network first, and then access the router.  I believe that everything is set up except that the MAC address information registered on the administration site is associated with the default network names, and my attempt to set up the software there after I had congigured the network the way I wanted it got blocked by my own network security during the attempt.  At any rate, I'm stuck, and do not know quite how to best go about correcting my difficulties without starting over from scratch by resetting the router, which is a real **bleep**.
    I'm also not completely sure that the out of the box software and procedure for using it has not been compromised or open to some kind of compromise that would open up my network to unauthorized snooping or worse via the standard site.  if you understand the issues, please advise.  should I just be content with using my cell phone within range of my own router to administer things?  If I'm not, since the administration site knows me but does not seem to know my router unless I'm in my own network, how do I go about reconnecting to the linksys smart wifi administration site to my router?

    All you need to do is to create a Linksys Smart Wi-Fi account and associate the router so you may access it wherever you are.

  • Constant Problems With Linksys Wirless Router

    Ever since I bought this Linksys Wireless Router it's been the same ordeal. At certain times, depending on what websites I visit, it will knock me right off the internet and I can't get back on unless I restart my computer. It is so aggravating and annoying and takes like 10 minutes to restart each time. I was assured that the Linksys Wireless Router I bought was compatible with Vista. I've had this same problem ever since I bought it. I've talked to tons of technical support staff and none of them know anything. They all give me a different reason. They tell me I need to download new drivers or the latest version or whatever else, but nothing works. The same problem persists. One thing I have learned is that I get knocked off by going on specific websites. So, in order to use the Internet, I must avoid these known websites that cause me to get knocked off the Internet. I can try and reconnect, but it always says that no network connections are available afterwards, and I must restart my whole computer to get back on the Internet. I am perfectly fine going on these known websites on my other computer that has the actual modem/router hook up. Anyone know why this happens and if there's anyway to fix this? If not I am just going buy me a whole new router/modem cause I am tired of this crap. Thanks, Blake

    Change the MTU size on the router to 1300 ... Also reset the browser security settings ....
    You can also forward ports 25-27 & 443-447 ... to ensure that secure sites should open ....

  • How to make AE work with Linksys E1500 Router

    I use Mac OS X 10.7.5
    I want to use my AirPort Express (Serial # C86L11G8DV2R) as an extender to extend my WiFi network at home, but doesn't work because to set up either my Linksys E1500 Router or AirPort Express (?)
    Can someone explain how I can set up my Linksys E1500 Router to make it compatible with AirPort Express?
    Thanks a lot!

    You can use an Express to "wirelessly extend" a wireless network created by another Apple AirPort Base Station, but not a third party product.
    You can use the Express as an additional wireless access point. To do that, connect it to your existing router with an Ethernet cable.

  • Issue with Linksys E3000 router wireless speeds

    Hello! I recently upgraded my Comcast package to Blast and now I'm getting around 60 Mbps when connected directly to the modem via wire. However, when I connect via wireless, I'm not getting anything higher than 35+ Mbps. I have a Linksys E3000 router. The current settings that I have is 2.4 GHz, mixed network mode, channel width "auto", channel 11. I'm currently getting the highest possible speed on channel 11 since it's the least congested channel. I tried switching mode to N only to see whether it would improve the speed; however, it doesn't make any difference. Also, I tried speeds in 5Ghz settings as well, but I'm still getting the same speeds. The computer is approximately 10 feet away from the router. I've also tried testing speeds with the computer right next to the router, but still I'm getting same speeds. On the other hand, when I connect to the router via wire, then I'm getting the same fast speeds 60Mbps as I was getting when connected directly to the modem.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    You must use WPA2-AES encryption.  Set to 20 Mhz only.  Try channel 1 or 6 also.  Disable WMM (media priority) and try again.

  • Extreme as Remote using WDS with Linksys WRT54G router ??

    I have seen that the Extreme cannot be used as a remote using WDS with a D-Link wireless router. Is the same true with Linksys wireless routers? I thought I would pose the question before purchasing my 3rd (2 dead, bad luck?) Express or purchasing two Extremes.
    I will eventually gravitate towards using an Extreme as my main base station but I do need a remote for wireless printing. I was hoping to put off purchasing an Express until a later date.

    Since it doesn't appear that everyone has gotten it to work with this router does that mean special tweeks are required? Is it hit and miss? The wireless router has the latest firmware updates and my network is running with WPA2. Comcast is my provider.

  • HP Officejet 6500A plus with Linksys E3000 Router

    Are there any known compatability issues with this printer and router connected wirelessly? Whenever I print something with just text, the printer seems to work fine, but whenever I print something a little but larger with a couple images, or color the printer seems to take forever as if the connection is timing out. I just recently bought the printer last weekend. Average time to print a full page of just text takes a few seconds, whenever I print anything with an image it seems like it prints a couple of lines, then stops for a few seconds, then a couple lines, etc. Sometimes will stop for over 30 seconds. Average print time exceeds a few minutes per page.
    I have all recent updates, and I have the printer setup outside the DHCP range of the router on a static IP. Is there anything else I can do? I am hoping to find someone with the same router, perhaps there is a problem with my router settings?
    I just recently got over printing issues with it printing gibberish and pages of random text on its own, especially after I would cancel print jobs. Now I would like to fix this problem.
    Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

    OK, and the printer has the latest firmware as well? (Enable web services, update product).
    What is the signal strength (from the front panel: Setup > Network > Wireless Network Test)?
    Have you tried Ethernet?  Does it do the same thing?
    I am kind of stumped, here.  Perhaps trying channel 1, changing to WPA only, 802.11g only (as experiments)?
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.
    I am employed by HP

  • Can't connect Coby tablet with Linksys WRVS4400N Router

    My new Coby tablet model #MIC1125-4G does not connect to my wireless network which is secured with a WEP key.  The tablet connects everywhere else (Starbucks, etc.) and all my computers work in my wireless network.  My router is a model #WRVS4400N.  So it seems there is nothing wrong with my tablet and there is nothing wrong with my router.  Do you know if there is an incompatibility issue?

    Try updating the firmware for the router.

  • Problems with linksys wireless router please help!

    Me and my 2 flat mates share a wireless network, and for some reasons if cannot connect to it. I have vista home premium and a belkin dongle. We used a Linksys router to begin with, not sure which model, but we recently had to buy a new one because that did not belong to us. I can see the network so the dongle picks up the signal but every time I connect and put in the network key I either get Not close enough to the net work point (the router is about 5 meters away) The network key is incorrect (I created the password and it works on the other two people lap tops) The network has timed out. Sometimes I can connect to the network for a moment then it kicks me off. The connection wizard shows the network at full signal. I’m not sure what the problem is, I have done a full restore on my computer and the dongle was installed onto my computer via the disc it came with. I do have another dongle that is a Linksys one; however it does the same thing. Not sure what the problem is here, can anyone help before I have to go out and buy long network cable and have wires all over my flat i have a heap of work that needs doing this week so any ideas would be really helpfull

    I would first try and bring your computer (if possible) closer to the connection point. That way it will have full time to connect. Also sometimes some materials in the walls mess with connections due to the type of material.  Sometimes if your IP address is not quite right you will connect but then get booted offline. Sometimes if you don’t broadcast your ssid you cannot connect. (one of my Visa Networks does this ssid broadcast must be on).
    Are you using WPA or WEP because Sometimes WEP is not as stable with some wireless modems/ so changing to WPA might solve your problem

  • Xbox 360 live lagged and disconnect often with Linksys WRT300N router

    I live in a two story townhouse with the modem and wireless router (Linksys WRT300N) located in the upper floor and the Xbox 360 system with wireless adapter in the bottom floor.  Our laptop works fine with good connection but the Xbox live gameplay lagged big time and disconnect often.  What are we doing wrong?

    Configure the X-BOX using static IP....subnet mask ....gateway & DNS numbers as in the range of router ....
    Also use the wireless settings same as in router
    Forward the ports 88 & 3074 .... .on router .....
    See above settings make any difference
