Connecting a new computer through linksys router

I have a WRT54G wireless router ... I want to connect a new laptop through it ... but I need either a network key or a password ... cant locate these .. can anyone help?

To get network key, connect your computer to one of the four ports on router using ethernet cable. Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name. Use your password if you have changed it earlier. Go to wireless tab. Go to wireless security sub-tab. If security mode is wpa or wpa2 note down passphrase/shared key, if security mode is WEP note down wep key number 1. This will be your network key

Cannot connect a new computer with vista

Hi !
I have the wireless router WRT54G and I am currently using a computer with Windows 2000 to connect to the router. The router works perfectly with this computer. However, I bought a new sony computer with windows vista. This new computer recognizes the router and is connected to it. However, when I open the explorer and cannot go to any web page. Can anybody help me out with this? Thanks!
Matias

ohhh..too complicated... you dont need to customize the settings if its already connected to the network.
>>If its already connected, make sure its getting an ip address coming from the router with a valid dns servers.
>>Try to ping router's default gateway and check if its communicating with it.
>>ping a website *(ex. ping yahoo.com)*. check if its getting replies.
Its just a simple and basic networking procedure.

I'm trying to update my iPhone and it's connected to my computer through the usb port, but my iPhone is still saying to plug it into iTunes. How do I fix it?

I'm trying to update my iPhone and it's connected to my computer through the USB port, but my iPhone is still saying to plug it into iTunes. How do I fix it?

This is what my screen looks like.

I was told that with Mountain Lion I would be able to view my computer through the router onto my TV screen through Apple TV. How?

In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.

New modem, no longer able to connect to the internet through the router.

I have a WRT54GS router which worked fine. My modem died and I got a new modem through my ISP, Comcast. I can't get the router to work through the new modem. There must be something simple I'm not doing, because there was nothing wrong with the router before. Is there a simple solution to my problem?
Thanks,
Larry

Open the set up page of the router by launching an Internet Explorer Browser and type the address bar, 192.168.1.1 and press enter. When it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field empty and provide password as admin and click on ok.On the main setup page the ""Internet Connection Type"" should be on ""Obtain IP Automatically - DHCP “. Click on the Save Settings button.Now click on the sub tab ""MAC address clone"". Click on enable...Click Clone & click save settings
Check WAN Ip on Status page of router .... If getting Valid Ip .... try going online...If not ... power cycle for the entire network and then,try to go online.

5si/mx LaserJet problems connecting to new computer

I have a LaserJet 5si/mx with a JetDirect 10Base-T card connected through a router. I am trying to connect it to a new iMac, but the computer won't see it. My internet connection is through the same router and it works. Any thoughts?
Thanks for your help.

Of course there is a USB connector for the ipod mini! http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=7E4 EB91E&nplm=MA591G/A . That will take you to the apple website where you can purchase the cord. I don't know why it dosent list the ipod mini under the compatible list maybe because its a bti older but thats the same cord i got with my ipod touch and it works with my mini aswell.

New computer causing WRT54G router to drop all computers

I have a WRT54G router that has worked like a champ. Stable and strong wireless signal. Works perfectly with my Macbook. However, when my new roommate gets on the network with his HP laptop, it works fine for a couple of minutes, and then both computers can't access the Internet. Both computers indicate they are connected to the network, and both indicate a strong signal. I reset the router, and the same thing happens again. If roommate's computer is off, I have absolutely no problem using the Internet (and Skype and everything else). Connection is stable and FAST. Roommate's computer is using Windows 7. I have had friends use my wireless network with their PCs before with no problems. Help?

Try connecting another wireless computer to your computer and check if that happen again or not...?
Try to update the driver for the wireless adapter on the Windows7 computer(your friend's computer) and check.

if it's w/less do you have your rtr's w/less settings like your network name or ssid & if w/less network is secured do you know whats your security code or password for w/less network?
if it's wired, just connect it to any numbered ports on the rtr via ethernet cable.

Trying to print through Linksys router

Hey there,
I'm trying to get a co-worker's Macbook to print through the Linksys router we have set up in the office, but it's proving to be more difficult than I imagined.
I've located the printer through System Preferences, and strangely enough she DOES have Internet access (browser, mail, etc), however printing doesn't want to work for some reason.
Has anyone had experience networking Macs with Linksys routers? And if so, how can we get the Macbook to print through it?
Any advice is very appreciated.

hey, i did have the same problem for a while, i had a linksys router setup through a print server. if your printing through a print server, make sure that it has a static IP address and then just put in the information in the printers folder.
if your not using a print server, try enabling windows sharing, printer sharing and personal file sharing in system preferences > sharing folder.

Problems transferring previously purchased music to new computer through icloud

iTunes prefs > Store.
Tick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
If it's not there, log out of iTunes store then log back in.
Now select Movies and there will be a column with a cloud.

Lost music off ipod when connected to new computer....

Found an ipod (never had one before and don't know much about it). Plugged it into my new computer, and all the music on the ipod disappeared. Didn't show up in my iTunes library. Found some of the music in My Computer, but not all music was listed there. I thought all songs had been deleted, but iPod shows most of it's memory is still being used. Question #1: Why are only some of the songs showing in My Computer? Question #2: Is there any way to retrieve all the "lost" music? Question #3: Why is iPod memory so full if I can't see any music on the iPod? Sorry to be so clueless!

This ipod was lost at a ski resort and we gave the owner 2 years to inquire about it, which he never did. After a customer has been contacted about a lost item and doesn't reply that season, the item is donated or given to employees to pick and choose from. We gave him 2 years.
You would be suprised how many ipods, cell phones, car keys, etc. are lost and never inquired about.
I reset the ipod to it's original factory settings and have a buddy who is going to download the songs from his ipod to mine. Since we like the same type of music this will work best for me since most of the music originally on the ipod was crap anyway.
Thanks for you snide comment instead of answering my question Chris.

WRT54G ver 6 router drops all existing connections when new computer joins

Hello,
I have a WRT54G version 6 Wireless router that operates fine with one exception. I generally connect to the router from one of three laptops in the house. If one laptop is connected, this existing connection drops as soon as another laptop connects to the router. The connections will automatically reconnect in a 10 seconds or so, but it dumps my VPN connection when it disconnects. I am tired of re-establishing the VPN connection everytime this happens.
Any idea why it is doing this? Better yet, how can I get it to stop?
two of the laptops use Windows XP, the third is Vista.
Thanks,
DM

I don't know exactly what is causing your problem, but clearly you are having some poor wireless connections.
The first thing to do would be to download and install the latest drivers for all of your computer's wireless adapters.
If you still have the problem, then try the following, more or less in order:
First of all, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
Poor wireless connections are often caused by radio interference from other 2.4 GHz devices. This includes wireless phones, wireless baby monitors, microwave ovens, wireless mice and keyboards, wireless speakers, and your neighbor's wireless network. In rare cases, Bluetooth devices can interfere. Even some 5+ GHz phones also use the 2.4 Ghz band. Unplug these devices, and see if that corrects your problem.
In your router, try a different channel. There are 11 channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Usually channel 1, 6, or 11 works best. Check out your neighbors, and see what channel they are using. Because the channels overlap one another, try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors. For example, if you have a strong neighbor on channel 9, try any channel 1 through 4.
Also, try to locate the router about 4 to 6 feet above the floor, in an open area. Do not locate it behind your monitor or near other computer equipment or speakers. The antenna should be vertical.
Also, in the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. If your current network is not listed, enter its info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings".
Some users have reported improved wireless connections by switching to WPA encryption.
If you continue to have problems, try the following:
For wireless g routers, try setting the "Transmission Rate" to 54 Mbps.
If you still have trouble, download and install the latest firmware for your router. After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
Hope this helps.

Lost connection to other computers using 'LinkSys' router

DSL modem is connected to my Linksys wireless router. I have two other computers connected using an Ethernet cable (coming from the router). Yesterday my internet (SBC-Yahoo DSL) was down for the entire day. In the past both computers connected to the router would work just fine. In fact the laptop would work either connected via the Ethernet cable or with a wireless connection. Today neither of the computers connected to the router will connect. I have not changed any of the settings on either computer. Have reset the DSL modem (turned off and back on) and have reset the router (reset button). Any suggestions on this problem?

Can you connect to the router?
Open a browser and go to 192.168.1.1
Verify the configuration options.
Also make note of the firmware version.
Then, for the moment, bypass the router and direct connect to the modem. Can you connect to internet then?
If so, check the Linksys web site to see if there is a firmware update for your router.
On my (wired) Linksys, after one of the OS updates (I forget which one) I could no longer get to internet until I updated the firmware on the router.
Since there has been an OS security update in the last week, and if you downloaded/installed it, then your problem began, its possible that is the problem.

IPad connection to new computer. 2 options: 1) set up as new iPad, 2) restore from (non-existent) backup. Will option 1) wipe all my data, setting

How do I connect my iPad to iTunes on my laptop (not done so before) without losing apps, settings & data. Option 1 is the only one that I can do as there is no backup, but option 1) sounds like it will wipe everything and set iPad up as factory-fresh device?
I need to connect to upgrade to ios8 as there is insufficient memory on the iPad to download the update files.
Thanks
Stephen

It will wipe everything from your device. You can transfer any iTunes store purchases (music, apps, etc.) using the instructions in the article below. However, you need to make sure that you import your photos before doing the "Set up as New":
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
PHOTO IMPORT IOS TO MAC/PC
