Connecting new Router into Network

I have an older Wireless router that we've been using for 5+ years. I now own a PS3 and a Wii and am trying to setup a new router in my personal room for the game systems as well as my laptop. So far I have used a cross-over/roll-over cable to connect to new router to my older one and I have also signed into the new router and changed it's IP to a new one differing from my original. What more do I have to do to enable the second router? I have also read that disabling the DCHP client list allows the router to act as a switch.. but from my understanding that means that only one of the components would be allowed an internet connection at a time. This won't do as my hope is to run my laptop and one of the 2 systems from this router and be able to connect on both at the same time. Please help! Thanks

Router2 is connected via its WAN to the second port on Router1.
So if I disable the DHCP on router2 will any components plugged into it ping to router1 for their IPs and then I'll be able to run several internet connections out of router2?
Or does enabling router2 as a switch only allow one of its components to have internet connection at a time?

  • How do I switch between number and alphabet on printer keypad when trying to connect new router.

    HP wireless printer 6500 e709n
    Have a new router.  Using the printer tools, and network setup, printer can find router but when I input the password using the keypad, alpha characters appears and therefore rejected.   Password is numeric.  The password cannot be changed because it is provided by ISP and is unchangeable, as far as I know.
    I've checked the user manual and there is no mention of how to change between using the 6500 e709n keypad in alpha and numeric mode.

    Hi hessvette,
    When the keyboard appears on the printer display, there should be a ARROW pointing up or a TRIANGLE. Press that, and the entire keyboard changes into CAPS. To enter lower case you need to tap the appropriate letter key twice quickly. The first tap should show a capital and the second should show a lower case letter.
    If it is an older type printer with a keypad then you would have to cycle through the letters and numbers. Lets say you want to enter the number '2'. Keep pressing the number 2 button. It will cycle through all the options for that button, ie A,B,C,a,b,c and the 2. You do the same for the other buttons.
    I am sending a link for Installing the Printer on a Wireless Network.
    Let me know if this helped.
    Thank you,
    I worked on behalf of HP.

  • Unable to connect new devices to network

    I have a WRT610N which does not allow me to connect any new devices to the wireless network. This is a recent problem as I have been able to connect new devices before. Devices on the wireless network, those that have been on the network, are able to disconnect and reconnect. Just new devices are excluded. Have gone through the admin screens to see if something is amiss but can not find anything. Any suggestions?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello again Before doing the procedure you outlined in your response, I opened the utility for the router and manually entered the Mac address for the iPhone. I then entered the passcode for the network on the iPhone and it worked. Should it fail, I will follow the re-flash and reconfig procedures who suggested. I do appreciate your assistance in this matter. If nothing else, it made me think! ;-) Thanks Pete

  • Can't connect to router and network with Airport on G4

    Just upgraded from a Belkin Wireless G router (c. 2004) to a Belkin Wireless N. Problem is that one of my old G4's can't get on. The security with the old router was WPA, and it worked. But the new router is WPA/WPA2-PSK, and the G4 with the Airport card running OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger) only asks for WEP. How do I get on?

    Hi Odell,
    Some old G4 Airport cards cannot do WPA2, but to see what choices you have...
    Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed. See Security choices there.

  • Having trouble connecting Wireless Router to Network

    Hey everyone, I ordered two Encore ENHWI-2AN3 wireless routers and am having trouble configuring the one I want to use as the wireless access point (other one will be used as a repeater.)
    I followed the advice here
    http://forums.verizon.com/t5/FiOS-Internet/Wireless-Router-Doesn-t-Work-After-35ft/m-p/206716/highli...
    I disabled DHCP, and set a new IP on the local network. I disabled WiFi on the verizon router as well. When I run an ethernet cable between the two using LAN ports, and try to use WiFi I get a signal, but it doesn't go load.
    I'm assuming I need to tweak something in the "internet" section of the Encore router, the main options are Dynamic or Static IP, PPPoE, PPTP and L2TP.
    To clarify, I am not looking to replace the Verizon router, only use the Encore router for Wifi

    Can you see the network in the Mac's wireless network list?

  • Imac G5/Intel, OS 10.6., system does not start up after connecting new router

    After connecting the imac to a new router the system hung completely up. After each input, e.g. opening preview or a browser, the coloured turning disc appeared and nothing happened anymore. Several restarts, also in safe mode,  were unsuccessful. I could not switch to another user.  Restart is only possible at all from installation disc but thereafter problem remains the same.
    What can I do?

    And, what happens if you disconnect the computer from the new router? Are you able to do this, and what happens when you try it?
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • Connecting new router from Verizon

    We just received a new Actiontec router from Verizon. Plugged in power cord and phone line and can not get a connection. What am I doing wrong? On the last router (Westell) we did not have to have an ethernet cable to use the router and I assumed we didn't need to do that with this router either.  Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

    Are you having a problem with the DSL modem synching up or connectly wirelessly to your computer?

  • Can i use new TC to connect wirelessly to home network and plug my tv into the time capsule for internet connectivity?

    My new tv needs to plug into an ethernet port for internet connectivity. 
    I'm hoping it can plug into my TC however my TC is wirelessly connected to my current home network... how can i get this to work?
    TC version A1470 (i think, brand new)
    Many thanks.
    Ben

    If the TC is connected to a wireless network provided by another Apple router, then the TC extends the network by default, and the Ethernet ports are enabled on the TC.
    If the TC is connected to a third party network wirelessly, then it must have been setup to "join" the wireless network. When the TC is set up this way, the TC becomes a wireless hard drive and nothing more. The Ethernet ports are not enabled when the TC "joins" a wireless network.
    So, a logical first troubleshooting step would be to confirm "how" the TC is currently set up. To do that.....assuming that you are using a current or recent version of AirPort Utility on your Mac.......
    Open AirPort Utility
    Click on the TC icon, then click Edit in the smaller window
    Click the Wireless tab at the top of the window
    Check the setting for Network Mode and report on that

  • I have a new iPad 2 which will not connect to my wi fi despite a new router being installed. When I tap my network name (which is with TalkTalk) the message comes up "unable to join the network TalkTalk etc...)

    I have a new Apple iPad2 which will not connect to my wi fi despite a new router.  When I tap the correct address it comes up with the message "Unable to join the network TalkTalketc... It does connect in other peoples' houses . Am I right in thinking that the trouble is with TalkTalk?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • I set up a new router and the windows machines have no problem with connectivity.  I go through the MacBook Pro's airport assistant and view my network and then enter the WPA2 password.  I get back a message saying the password is incorrect when it is

    I set up a new router and the windows machines connect fine.  My MacBook Pro does not.  I go through the airport assistant and see the network yet when I enter the router WPA password I get a message back saying that the password is incorrect.  And, it isn't!  Very frustrating.  What can I do as I had the same problem after I tried to reinstall my last router.  Again, only on the Mac.  Thanks!

    If you kept the same Base Station name and network name, that can confuse Keychain Access. Either change the Base Station and network name, or open Keychain Access Utility and delete any reference to your Base Station and network name. Make sure you delete from the Login and System keychains.

  • My ipod 4G won't connect to my wifi at home with new router. Says "unable to connect" and won't give me any other options. Have tried resetting network connections. Help.

    My ipod 4G won't connect to my wifi at home with new router. Says "unable to connect" and won't give me any other options. Have tried resetting network connections. I don't want to lose anything. I have tried turning everything off and back on again. Desktop and laptop are working fine. Sometimes it turns on suddenly and I can use it for like 20 mins but then shuts off again. Same thing is happening with my dad's iphone, Help.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network       
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme? My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured" and my AirPort tool on my PC will not permit me to add my new Airport Extreme network (no network names to choose from)

    How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme?
    I have a PC running with Win7 and just replaced my Jensen With a brand New Airport Extreme.
    I have set up the Airport Extreme to the internet, Iphones and Ipads and it work as it should.
    I have downloaded latest Version of Airport tool on my PC. In addition i have downloaded the airport tool for Ipad.
    I have reset one of my airport Express and it now shows up both on the Ipad and on the PC airport tool.
    My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured."
    I have wired the airport Express to my Ethernet to be able to "see it" on my Airport tool.
    My AirPort tool on the PC will not permit me to add the airport Express to my new Airport Extreme network (no network names on the drop-down list to choose from). I wished for an easy set-up, but nothing seems to be plug and play as the Commercial says.. can you please help me?
    Sigve

    Hi
    Thanks for Swift reply.
    Yep - I in fact have two A1088 and one A1264
    I actually bought the new router because the Jensen
    router always lost connection to the Airport Express after some hours or days. I
    always needed to restart my Jensen to play music and that was driving my wife
    mad. The hope was that the Extreme should fix this. Both A1088 have been set up
    to only stream music to two of my stereo amplifiers from my PC’s Itunes library.
    Are the A1088 now useless?
    The A1264 has been set up to feed internet into a Denon Reciever that needed Ethernet cable.
    Please advise
    Regards
    Sigve
