Connecting together a Siemens router/modem and linksys E2500

Hi:
Unfortunately, I'm not good with this stuff but I think I can learn ...
I have a Siemens Gigaset SE567, which was set-up by my IP. I'm using its Modem via the #1 Ethernet port to my desktop. It broadcasts wifi but I got tired of paying $10 p/m for the wifi - so I canceled it. The wifi is still active but the IP password protected it.
I was given a used Linksys E2500. I have its password. I just don't know how to hook it up so I can still use the SE567 modem to my desktop but also use the E2500 wifi for my other wireless devices.
The SE567 has 1 attached client and 1 DHCP which is my desktop. My IP address is 192.168.254.1 and it's attached by Ethernet.
I didn't get any set-up CD with the Linksys. I don't know if I need set-up software or not.
Can someone give me a link or give me the steps to connect the 2 devices so they will both perform the way I described. Again, I'm not very computer literate so if you could use simple words it would help.
Thanks so much.

Problems in Internet access in the middle being a modem and Linksys RV016

Good afternoon, I have another problem with Cisco Linksys RV016 Router, the router used to connect to ADSL Internet 3 links which these in turn give direct service to a server right now each of them, the idea is to connect the 3 modems LAN router and connect the server, this is no problem so far. The point is that here at my work people access to Remote Access Servers for Windows and VNC TightVNC or my servers with Linux (ask why not login at TeamViewer or LogMeIn, but it is another matter), the idea is to leave as they are, that everything is apparent and improve systems with load balancing (Router). The modem has ports open for remote access the 3389, are accessed without nigun problem, but when connecting the router and can not, I opened the same ports in Router and name and works.
Servers handle the no-ip.org for access and name resolution on DNS and so with that name assigned by the no-ip is where remote access from the Internet.
I do not know if you understand, but I hope someone help me with this.
In advance thank you very much and greetings.

Look, the first phase of my work to be done is to try a single server and it has Windows Server 2008, you explain:
1. This ADSL modem connected directly to a single server (Windows).
2. It is accessed without any problem by remotely from another network and / or from the Internet via remote access.
3. The modem has port 3389 open to allow remote access from another network or Internet (up to here is my current scheme and there is no problem).
4. Connect between the modem and Linksys RV016 router server.
5. I open the same ports with the modem for remote access.
6. If I have Internet server.
7. Remote access is not working.
As time??? something can be done to solve this problem. The server as you mentioned earlier is running as a service no-ip.org for publication DNS name and not have to be constantly changing the IP by automatic changes made by the supplier (eg server name and for which so is taken from the internet: servidorwin.no-ip-org).
See if you explain me better.
Thanks in advance and greetings.

Connecting Express to Cox Router/Modem ?

Hello,
    I have an iMac ( OS 10.8 ) connected via ethernet to a Cisco Router/Modem ( from Cox my ISP ), I have a network set up that all my iOS dervice can connect to with out a problem.
    on the second floor of my house I have an Older G4 ( OS 10.4 ,no Wifi just an Ethernet conenection ), I want to connect the Express to the G4 so it will conect to the internet.
     There are threads on this forum that suggest that this can not be doen and the olnly way I can use the express with my current set-up is to connect the express to the Cisco router/Modem and configure the express in bridge mode, this seems rather redundent as my Wifi network can be used throuthout my house.
     When I try to connect the express to the G4 via the ethernet connection, I only get the flashing amber light and none of my devies are able to see the express.
      Any help that you can offer would be great.
    Thank You
    John

After reading a bunch of stuff and not getting the results I wanted. I decided to try a different approach. My iMac is plugged into my router via Ethernet. I took my Apple Express and plugged in the power cord only and placed it on top of the Cox Router/Modem. Using Airport Utility I set the Express up as normal. when it was up and running I simply unplugged it, took it upstairs plugged it in and attached an Ethernet cable
to the Express and then to My G4 and it worked. I connected to the Internet then I downloaded the browser

This browser works really well with my old machine.
Hopefully someone will find this information helpful.

Verizon DSL, Westell 6100 Modem and Linksys router

If anyone is having a hard time getting these three to work together to get on-line, I know your pain. I've spent the better part of two days trying to get these devices to talk to each other. After hours spent trying different combinations and little to no help from Verizon and Linksys I have finally gotten my DSL up and running through my Linksys router. I post this in hopes that someone doesn't spin their wheels like I have been doing over the past few days. Here's what I did to get them to work:
1. Reset both the Linksys router and the Westell modem
2. Unplug the router and the modem
3. Connect an ethernet cable from your Apple to the Westell modem and power it back on
4. Type 192.168.1.1 in the address bar of your browser of choice. The username should be "admin" (w/o the quotes) and password should be "password" (again no quotes)
5. It will ask you to update your username and password
6. Under the CONFIGURATION heading select VC CONFIGURATION and click on EDIT
7. Make sure that both PROTOCOL and MODE are set to BRIDGE
8. Click on SET VC and then click OK when asked if you want to reset for new configuration to take affect
9. Once again power off the modem for about a minute then power it back up
10. Login again with the login you created above and go to the STATUS/ABOUT column and write down the MAC address
11. Set it to DHCP OFF and change the Private Lan Modem IP to 192.168.2.1. Write this down and keep it so you can access your modem in the future.
12. Save the settings. You will lose communication with the Westell at this point. Once again, power down the modem for about a minute.
13. Connect the ethernet cable from the modem into the Internet port on the Linksys router and then connect your Apple to the first ethernet spot
14. Turn on both the Linksys router and the Westell modem
15. With your browser (Safari or Firefox) type in 192.168.1.1. Under SETUP go to MAC ADDRESS CLONE and enter the MAC address you wrote down for your Westell modem earlier and then save the settings
16. Make sure you are in DHCP mode and not PPPoE
17. Save, exit, and you should be on-line
That was a lot more difficult than it had to be. I certainly didn't get this from the support folks from Linksys or Verizon...a lot of trial and error and investigating on-line. I hope this saves you from the headaches I experienced.

Feedback for Linksys:
In the Linksys Help system "Easy Answers" there's the question "How can I set up a Linksys router with DSL Internet?" This is what I used to try and solve my Internet connection problem.
The Answer says "Most DSL providers use Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) ..." and goes on to explain how to set up the router for PPPoE. However, my service (AT&T/Yahoo high speed internet) uses DHCP. That meant I spent several frustrating hours trying to get it to work with PPPoE.
The Answer would have been better if it first explained how to tell if you have PPPoE or DHCP (see the reply from vness above, it's an excellent explanation), and then linked to the appropriate setup instructions.
Thanks for the help!!!!

I want to hard line time capsule to imac so uverse router, modem, and wireless is the primary connection?

i want to hard wire time capsule to imac, so att uverse's modem, router, and wireless is the primary connection. i don't think the competing wireless features will play nice together.

If your goal is to provide Internet access to the iMac via an Ethernet connection to the TC ... and, in turn, have the TC connected by wireless to the Uverse gateway, then as you have already guessed, this combination won't work as the two routers are not WDS compatible. Your only option with this set of networking gear would be to connect the TC to the Uverse gateway by Ethernet.

Wireless Communication problem between HP Photosmart C309g and Linksys E2500 router

Hello,
I used C309g connected to DLink Dl-624 router (wireless connection) and everything was working correctly. Now I changed the router to Linksys E2500 (dual band router) and I've got strange problem I cannot fix.
The printer connects to router, obtaint IP address and network report does not indicates any problem. Also HP Print & Scan Doctor does not report any problem.
But when I try to print from my laptop, the pint start and is quickly broken, and I've got the message that printer is diconnected. The printer stops. When I leave it for a coupl of minutes, the printing starts and after few lines stops again with the same message on the laptop.
When I return to DLink router, everything works correctly.
I tried with 4 different laptops, with different operating systems, and i've gor the same issue. But the laptops communicates well, the network does not break..
I enforced router to use IP reserved number for the printer, used the same IP range and number for my network and printer on Linksys and DLink, does not help. I've turn off firewall on the router - does not help. I've change the channel range for 2.4 GHz network to 20MHz only - does not help.
What would be the problem with it? Is there something related to dual-band? Any idea?

Well, I did not install the printer drivers from cd, I did it from the Hp webpage. Looking for the potential problems I reinstall the drivers and it did not helped. I also turn off the firewall router application and it also did not help.
I suspect I have the printer firmware up to date e.g my version is WHM1FN0931BR.
I've made some test with router settings: switch from automatic WPS configuration to manual and tried network mode as wireless b only (default was mixed). This makes the communication between router and printer continuous (no breaks), I could normally scan documents directly to network drive, but could not print at all: the printing option on my laptop pops up, and looks like document was sent to nowhere.. printer did not start to print at all. But other network devices starts to experience connection breaks and performance issues. When I returned to mixed mode, the communication between network devices returns to normal operation, but not with the printer - where I experiences original problems.
My network is quite complex - 4 laptops and 2 TV sets communicates (wireless or LAN 100mbit cable ) via cental router with NAS server (with DLNA) and internet (DSL cable modem). Router also works as DHCP server, where any server type devises (e.g my printer) has reserved IP addresses (based on MAC number). No matter if I try to print from wireless or via LAN cable laptop, no matter what OS is on laptop. I have even tried to connect the printer via LAN (forcing DHCP to give the LAN pronter the same IP as was previously for wireless ), and stil the same: communication is broked and the print starts and suddenly stops.., then starts angain after few minutes - and stops (the same problem as wireless). So I do not understand what the hell is going on. Rest of my network works perfect .. except this printer.. Any other idea, what coul be the issue?

Connecting Belkin N150 ADSL Router *** Modem with TimeCapsule

I have an N150 Belkin Wireless ADSL modem *** Router. I want to buy Timecapsule for automatic backup (for iPhone, PC, MBP) and to use the Dual Band
A. Do you recommend buying Timecapsule or going for the cheaper option of an Seagate NAS? (and forgo the dual band)
B. If you recommend buying, how should I wire the Timecapsule to the Router, so that I can make use of all the features and speed TC provides? Can I connect it in a way that the Belkin Router is used just as a modem and TC actually becomes my primary router

Time capsule is not for backup of iphone.. there is no direct link.. apple uses itunes to backup the iphone, which can be either on your computer or icloud. Time Machine which is the smarts of the system is software in the Mac that will backup itunes to the TC. The TC is a hard disk in a router. .it has no smarts whatsoever.
A. Do you recommend buying Timecapsule or going for the cheaper option of an Seagate NAS? (and forgo the dual band)
Nobody but you can answer the question. TC is a more reliable unit for TM backup. 3rd party can work but lots of them have issues. Check via google if people have found the seagate NAS reliable for TM.. you need to use the exact model you want to purchase. The TC is not a NAS.. it is a target for TM backups by laptops. If you store files on it, there is no way to backup the files without using another disk, like USB drive plugged into the TC and manually doing the backup.
5ghz is much faster than 2.4ghz but has very limited range.. ie it is for use in the same room and perhaps the next one.. no further than that. For many people buying 5ghz turns out to be a waste of time, unless you can arrange the router in the room you are working in.
B. If you recommend buying, how should I wire the Timecapsule to the Router, so that I can make use of all the features and speed TC provides? Can I connect it in a way that the Belkin Router is used just as a modem and TC actually becomes my primary router
You can either keep your belkin as the main router.. and just bridge the TC.. that will not hinder its usage at all except for icloud where the TC needs to be the main router..
Or bridge the belkin and use the TC as main router. The ISP must support PPPoE authentication for this to work.. check your ISP.

My new AT&T U-verse router/modem and my Airport

My new AT&T U-verse router/modem appears to be conflicting or competing with my existing Airport Extreme. I keep losing connection to the server for seconds at a time or images will not load on pages. I called AT&T tech support to ask if the issue could be that their wireless router and my Airport Extreme might be bumping one another off. He responded that could very likely be happening. He suggested that he could remotely turn off the wireless router feature on my ATT device and then he supposedly did so. I am not able to confirm whether he successfully disabled that function on their device. I can report that I am still having issues with the losing brief connection to server and pages not fully loading. When I look at the available networks I see 2Wire087 as well as 2 other ATT networks. Can't tell if any of those is the one in my house versus neighbors. But I am so frustrated with this issue and ready to cancel my AT&T U-verse if I cannot resolve how to have it peacefully co-exist with our Aiport.
Help!

You should have disconnected your router, to see if the dropping may be due to the ISP to begin with.

Have lost ability to connect Cisco VPN - Westell 6100G modem and Netgear WNR1000 v2 router

I have lost the ability to connect my work laptop VPN through my verizon dsl connection. It works at the library, at hotels, and over my BB tether. Corporate IT thinks it is either the router or the modem. There are also some websites that will not load, such as tetongravity.com. The websites seem to be a problem over a wired connection as well as wireless, and I have only tried attaching the VPN while on a wirelesss connection.
Any advice on how to straighten this out? I have rebooted both a couple of times and updated the firmward on the router to no avail. Also, do you know what the default user name and password are on the modem?
Any help would be appreciated.
John

PS - it worked last week, and stopped working over the weekend.

Issues with 2-Wire modems and Linksys routers?

I have a 2-Wire modem (1000SW) from the phone co. for DSL. I tried to hook up wireless using a WRT54G Linksys router and this modem. Can't get a connection or get into the access point setup page. Does anyone know of issues between these 2?
Thanks,
JR

first off , disconnect the modem from the router and connect the computer to the LAN port 1 of the router..reset the router for 30 seconds and do a power cycle
access the router using http://192.168.1.1 . the default login password is "admin"..
once on the web ui ,change the local ip add to 192.168.2.1 .save the settings and do a power cycle
connect the modem to the internet port of the router ... check whether the internet works ..

Can the Airport Express connect wirelessly to a current modem and be the wireless connection for an external??

I'm confused, I purchased the Airport Express and GDrive external hard drive at the Apple store. I already own a wireless modem that works fine (AT&T). I want to extend the wireless signal to the downstairs where the office is and keep the Airport Express in the office (connected wirelessly to the modem upstairs) plugged into the new GDrive to make that wireless. I want the G Drive in the safe location of the office and that was the sole reason I purchased the Airport Express. Is it possible??

As I said, the USB port on the AirPort Express will not support a hard drive. It will only support compatible printers.
If you want to connect a hard drive, you will need an AirPort Extreme.....not an AirPort Express. See this Apple comparison chart to confirm. Might be a good idea to print it out and take it to the "genius" types.
Compare Apple Wi-Fi base stations AirPort Express AirPort Extreme Time Capsule
But, even if you have an AirPort Extreme the chances that it would "extend" the wireless signal from an ATT router are about zero.

WRT54GS2 and Siemens ADSL modem - dropping Internet connection

I am having an internet connection issue. I have a Win98 Desktop directly connected to an ADSL modem - SIEMENS Speetstream 4100. That connection works well.
I had a WRT54G (old school, blue and black) wireless router connected to it which allowed me to use my WinXP laptop in the house. I then upgraded the router to a WRT54GS2, and now I lose the connection to the internet every minute or so while connected through that. The connection between the modem and the router goes down, not the connection to either the desktop (wireless) or the laptop. And if I switch to direct connection through the modem, I get a solid, reliable connection to the Internet.
Is there some problem with the SIEMENS ADSL modem and the Linksys router not playing nice together?
I have tried ipconfig /release and /renew on both my laptop and the desktop, I have turned off all computers, modem, and router, and powered back up in the correct order: Modem, router, desktop and laptop.
Here's the output of ipconfig /all when my laptop is connected directly through the ADSL modem:

Why does the new WRT54GS2 lose internet connectivity when a direct connection through the modem does not lose connectivity and the old one was reliable?
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Your ADSL modem is in half-bridge mode. It does the PPPoE connection and then passes the IP addresses, etc. through DHCP to the device connected. Several people seem to have problems with different routers and these modems.
I would suggest you reconfigure the ADSL modem into full bridge mode (i.e. the modem works really like a simple modem and does not connect to the internet itself). In full bridge mode you should be able to configure your router with PPPoE and connect to the internet directly. That should work better.
If the ADSL modem is intelligent enough it may automatically switch to full-bridge mode if you configure the router for PPPoE.
You should see the difference in the DNS servers which the router got. In half-bridge mode the ADSL modem seems to assign its own IP address 192.168.0.1 as DNS server. If you connect directly to your ISP you should see the IP addresses of your ISP's DNS servers.

K8N Neo2 Plat NICs and Linksys Router

I have a Linksys BEFSR41 4 port Router with the latest Firmware and when I connect either RealTek or Nforce onboard Network to it, the Red DIAG LED on the router goes on every few seconds. Seems like it floods my router. I can still view webpages when this is going on but when the Red DIAG Led comes on, my router freeses up. By that I mean all traveling data is haulted until DIAG LED turns off. One thing I noticed is that the activity light to the NIC is constantly flashing. This also only happens when the computer with the K8N Neo2 is the only one connected to the router. If I disconnect the This computer then it stops flooding.
Specs:
Athlon 64 3500+
K8N Neo2 PLatinum Ver.1 Bios Version 1.2
2 X 512MB Corsair DDR400 2-2-2-5 timings
eVGA Geforce 6800GT
Western Digital Raptor 2 74.3GB 10,000
Windows XP Pro
Things I tried:
1. Installed latest Router Firmware. Still floods router
2. Installed Linksys PCI LNE100TX NIC. Connect that Nic to router with other onboard NICs disabled in the Bios and still floods. I've used this nic in other computer with no issues when connected to router.
3. Tried different Patch network Cables. Still Floods
4. Connected NIC directly to Cable Modem and Activity LED constantly Flashing. Internet works fine though when connected straight to modem.
5. Disabled 1394 Net adapter in "Network Connections". still flood.
6. I tried flow control option thats located under the Advanced Tab in NIC properties on both onboard NICs. Still floods.
Anyone else have this Router/Motherboard and have issues like this?
Any other suggestions?
THanks for everyones help!!

I have the older BEFSR41 router. Not the newer version 2 I believe it is.
Anyone have this older router with the same motherboard and have any issues?

Connecting HP 4500 Wireless printer to a new Netgear router/modem

When running setup from the wireless config screen on the printer it finds my new router/modem and then asks for the WPA passphrase. I enter the one that came with the new router and it comes back as a fail. Is there a secret around this or another passphrase it is looking for? I had this printer on my older modem before and it was connected to all PCs in the house but the new one does not want to connect. Thanks

how did you make out with this issue as i plan to buy the 6480
