Connection Through Router Is Not There

I had internet before and everything was fine. I had it connected through my router and it was also fine there, and it connected to my Vista lap top easily. no troubles whatsoever. We recently switched over to a new cable modem because the last one was old. Now, I can connect to the modem just using my computer but when I connect through the router i get a no connection, or limited activity setting, and my laptop will also no connect to the internet either. Do i need to reinstall my router? I do not see why I would need to because I am using the same computer as before, and I did not reboot it entirely or anything... So the same settings should be there. I cannot find my router disc anywhere, because I bought it about 4 years ago. It is a WRT54G

I think my problem is similar.  We started out with one desk top computer connecting through Comcast.  We bought a second computer moved the first to the up stairs so we bought the WRT54G Ver. 6 wireless router.  Both computers worked fine.  My husband recently purchased a laptop which is connecting through the router.  Now for some reason EVERY night at 9:00 p.m. on the dot neither the lap top or the upstairs computer will connect.  The downstairs desktop connected directly to Comcast will connect.  There are no issues with it at 9:00.  The inability to not connect last for a couple hours but it is every night at 9:00.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

    Hi,
    can you provide a bit more detail, as can you use the 3G network to access the web, and what security is your wireless using?

  • WRT150N v1.1: Can't connect through router, internet light isnt on

    Recently there was a thunderstorm last week and it somehow shorted out my cable modem. (It was hooked up to a surge protector and still somehow got damaged..) The router seemed to be fine, however, after having replaced the modem, my desktop can't connect through to the internet nor my laptop on it's wifi. The internet only works when I direclty link the modem to my desktop/laptop.
    I've tried unplugging the modem and router for 30 seconds then re-plugginging the modem, waiting for initialization, then booting up the router but i've found no luck in getting it working as it used to.. I searched up past posts, and the "Setting-Up a Linksys Router with Cable Internet Service" doesnt say what to do if the light for internet doesnt turn on.
    Another odd thing the router does is that, for some reason, the 3rd port for ethernet is lit up when theres no cable in the port. I checked to see if the light would work in other ports when it was connected and it shows to work fine, just with the additional 3rd port constantly on.
    I'm not sure if it helps, but after hooking up the router I pinged it and it responded with:

    Anyone know how I can get this router working again? 

    Hm, i didn't see any change in anything after completing the steps.. I just had my cable/internet provider service technician come over and take a look at it. Basically, he told me the modem is probably fried somewhere and said I should invest in getting a new router. Surge protectors are apparently just a pretty name for "a good way to blow out multiple expensive devices." So now I'm out to get a wrt160N

  • Connection through router to air card

    I have replaced a crossover cable with a WRT54G router.  Before I could connect to the internet on my desktop through the crossover cable and my notebook computer which has a Verizon PC Express Air Card installed.
    With the router replacing the cable I can communicate fine between the desktop and notebook except I cannot get internet access on the desktop now.
    Is there a way I can do this with this router?
    Jeff

    Sorry, but this gets more confusing. I repeat my previous question: what exactly is your setup. I don't understand what this PC Express card should be. Is it a normal wireless 802.11b or 11g card? Or is it a 3G kind of thing that connects to your ISP?
    If it is the latter, you must connect this card to a computer therefore the computer where it is connected must be setup for internet connection sharing and therefore this computer is your main gateway (router) for your LAN. There is no benefit using the WRT as router in this kind of setup. You set it up as describe in the other post with the computer with the internet connection card (set up for internet connection sharing) as 1st router and the WRT as 2nd router.
    Please write exactly what ISP you have. With what device you access the ISP. Where this device is connected to (which ports). And where it goes from there. What you have configured on the computers for networking etc.
    Please remember: the WRT is designed as broadband router. It is supposed to have its own internet connection through the internet port. This means the router connects to the internet and no computer in the network. This requires an internet connection where you have a modem with an ethernet jack to which the router can connect. If you don't have this but rather you must use a computer to connect to the internet because your modem/access card does not have a ethernet jack you must set it up differently. The router cannot steer internet traffic then because it does not have its own internet connection. The router can only steer traffic to his own internet connection (on the internet port).

  • When i try to connect my iPhone 4S into iTunes through wifi or USB it will not connect the other thing  is when i hook up my iPad into iTunes it will connect through wifi but not USB? Now is this a issue with my iPad and iPhone or is this iTunes?

    When i bought my iPhone and my iPad they both were on iOS 7.0.2 i updated them shortly after thinking the new iOS 7.0.4 was better. i see its not but they both worked great with iTunes before and after the update. My question is why is my iPhone not connecting to iTunes? it will not connect through USB or wifi and i know that the setting to do that is turned on. my iPad connects through iTunes through wifi but not USB. This isnt making any sense but i wanna know is this a iTunes issue? or is it my phone and iPad??

    This can sometimes be the result of a faulty/damaaged USB sync cable.  Do you have another cable you could test it out with?

  • Can connect to router, but not to internet

    About a week ago, my whole wireless setup stopped working. I have a BEFW11S4 v.4 router and a WPC54G v3 notebook adapter. I tried the hard reset on the router and taking to security off the wireless. I can connect to the router, but not the internet. What am I doing wrong? I can connect directly using the DSL modem.

    If you are getting Ip address in the range of 192.168.1.X ....with gateway 192.168.1.1 .... change the Local Ip address to 192.168.2.1 ...click save settings ....
    Do power cycle .....& see if you are online or not ....

  • IMac G3 DV 400 running 9.2.2 can connect to router but not beyond

    I've connected my iMac to an ethernet port on my router. I can browse from the to the router page. 192.168.0.1 .
    My iMac is setup with the TCP/IP installed. The system profiler shows the default gateway, domain, and names server all point to the router.
    What am I missing? I can't access ANY web page.
    John

    169.254,xxx.yyy is the "self-assigned" IP address range. Your Mac gives itself that address when it powers up, then broadcasts a request for a new IP Address.
    It appears your Router is not providing an IP address. This could indicate that dispensing IP Addresses is turned OFF in your Router, and no other Router is available to provide a sensible IP Address.
    Check your Router configuration to make sure it will supply IP Addresses in the proper range using DHCP. It may also be called Network Address Translation NAT. The Router is supposed to give you IP Addresses that are strictly local (which 192.168 addresses and a few other ranges are) then act as your agent on the Internet, using its own IP Address (established either by the "magic numbers" and/or name&password supplied by your Internet Service Provider and entered into your Router, or by using DHCP to get an IP{ Address from another Router upstream.

  • Can connect to router but not ad hoc network. Works fine with iPhone.

    My brand new ipad on ios 3.2.2 connects fine to my router and my jailbroken iphone running Mywi. However, I cant connect to an ad hoc network set up on my laptop running vista. My iphone connects to the ad hoc without any problems. I've tried everything, static ips, wep, wpa, hard resets, restoring, resetting network settings but no go. How can' everything else be fine but not connecting to the ad hoc network, especially since it works fine to connect with the iphone?
    Btw, the ad hoc is for controlling music software on the laptop through wifi. It's not for getting internet.
    Can anyone shed some light on this?
    Many thanks,
    L

    Hi and welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Did you try doing a search, upper right corner of this window, on remote control? There have been a number of discussions during the last two weeks about remote control problems.
    There have also been discussions about networking an iPad via another computer, such as iMac or MacBook Pro, using the computer's wireless card rather than a router.
    See if one of those will answer your question.

  • WRT54G can connect to router but not internet

    A few days ago, I stopped being able to connect to the internet through my router. I have a desktop which is connected to my cable modem. My desktop connection works fine, but I cannot connect wirelessly with my laptop. Even if I connect a wired connection to my router, it will not connect to the internet. I have tried updating firmware and that did not help. When I try to diagnose the problem through windows, it tells me that "There may be a problem with the DNS". Also, when I look at the status tab in the router site, it shows that the IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway are all 0.0.0.0. Any ideas?

    hey guys you have your connections the wrong way...
    here's what your connection should be the cable modem should always be connected to the router, that means that the desktop (which is online) should not be connected to the modem...because, the your modem might only give out one ip address that means only ONE device behind the modem can go online, now either the router or the desktop gets the internet connection.so if your desktop is the one getting the ip address from the modem, so make sure that the modem is connected to the ROUTER ONLY...
    after connecting the modem to the router, connect the computer at the back of the router, so all the devices should be connected behind the router. in that way the router could get the internet connection from the modem and the router could give multiple ip addresses on all of the devices or computers that you're gonna connect to the router...
    then if ever the router still doesn't give internet connection try resetting the router and try to reconfigure it as well....

  • Connecting through Router

    Firstly, I am not a Mac user but my friend is. For some reason (after a trip) she is not able to connect to the internet through the same router she has been connecting with for over 2 years. I fixed a similar situation on my two PCs at home by ipconfig, changing settings, etc., etc. However, I have no idea where to start with the MacPro that she just bought... old one would not connect also. Can someone take me through the steps of insuring she has a gateway, etc. Thanks...

    Hi Lyssa...
    No luck thus far this morning. It's probably something very simple that I'm just not seeing or maybe even seeing through it all.
    Understand please that there is not a connection setup on the new MacBook. I have tried to set up but not an Apple wiz I'm not sure I'm doing it correctly. When I try to open Network Preferences, it will not open.
    I have run the XP wizard, unplugged all and reset, checked the NetGear site and the latest Firmware was 2007 which is already installed.
    I'm just pulling my little bit of hair right now. I would think that I would need to start on the MacBook and go from there...

  • Can connect to router but not internet, please help!

    I was searching, but couldn't find a thread with my symptoms...please redirect me if needed.
    however, I just got a brand new dell that is running vista premium, and I put my belkin wireless card that I was using in my old pc into the new one.  found my network, applied to wep key and connected to the router without any problem...
    but I can't go online!  I never had a problem before, and I am using the same wireless card.  my signal is excellent, so what might my problem be?  I already tried rebooting the router, but no results.  I had the same problem several months ago with my wife's laptop when we first got FIOS...but for the life of me I can't remember how I fixed it.
    any suggestions?  thank you so much in advance

    It sounds like your laptop doesn't have any - or the right - IP configuration.  When you went through the network setup, did you tell it to use DHCP?
    Some things to try (note, this is for XP but I'm guessing it hasn't change *too* much for vista):
    From a command window, try typing:
    ipconfig
    It should show you your IP address and a default route (something other than zeros, probably a 192.168.x.x address).
    If you don't get a valid IP and route, try  running: ipconfig /renew
    See if you can get to the router by pinging the default gateway address (from the ipconfig command). E.g.:
      ping 192.168.0.1
    If you still have no luck, try resetting the connection via the Network Connections panel:
     Start->Control Panel
     Double click Network Connections
     Check for DHCP:
       Right click on the wireless connection and select Properties
       Click on Internet Protocol(TCP/IP) and click Properties
       Make sure that "Obtain IP address automatically" is selected.
       Click OK in both boxes.
     Right click on the wireless connection and select Repair
     If it still doesn't work, try right clicking on your wireless connection and select Disable, then again and select Enable and then Repair.

  • Cannot find PPoE host, can connect to router but not internet

    I've been having trouble since I tried using the router. At first, I had no security, then I set up the security and couldn't connect to the router. That finally solved, sometimes when trying to connect to the router, I get the message cannot find PPoE host. But, my connection continues to show that it is strong in the bar at the top.
    So, I try to get on the internet -- Safari, Firefox -- no go.
    I run network diagnostics and the first three settings are lit, but the ISP, Internet and Server all show as failed.
    I'm connecting via airport and a linksys router.
    Thanks for any help

    You'll have to go into your router's settings and make sure they're correct. When you connect to the internet through a router, the router has to be set up with the appropriate IP information (like setting it for PPPoE). If you have set your router up properly, then all you have to do is connect your Mac to it, either wirelessly or over ethernet, and it should auto-configure if you have your Network settings on "DHCP" (not the manual DHCP, though). You will get an IP address assigned by your router if it worked.
    Hope that helps. Networking is always confusing.

  • Will connect to router but not internet!!!

    If there is anything I absolutely detest about Apple, it's the fact that their wifi *****. I have never had problems with my PowerPC iMac, but my two intels, a macbook and my newest, a macbook pro, have ALWAYS had connection problems. One of the problems I have had with my macbook is that, when using DHCP to connect, the computer will without warning reassign completely different values for all three fields. However when i do it properly manually, it still doesn't connect to the internet. What I do to remedy this is I manually assign the proper values and quickly switch it to DHCP and then hit renew DHCP lease and wait til the right values come up on screen. Now, with my MBP, I can't even do that to make it work and my 3 year old macbook can get on just fine. I've tried everything in the book. I've even tried calling the "Geniuses" at the Apple store. They couldn't give me an answer.

    sorry i said s*cks and they bleeped me out. not much of a cuss word if you ask me. Anyway, I finally figured out the problem. While the DHCP wouldn't work, I noticed my macbook has the DNS address already established. So I put it in manual and I added the DNS address and it works now. power cycling the router didn't work though so I guess its just a failure to communicate between the router and my mbp. Did I mention my router is a Netgear? I need to buy a Linksys; works so much better.

  • Can't connect through router

    I've had the same setup for two years, and everything was functioning fine until two days ago, but now I can't establish a wi-fi connection to a laptop or a connection to a desktop through a WRT54G router. I can connect to the network on the laptop, but a red X appears between the router and the internet icons in Network Sharing. When I open a browser on the desktop I receive "Server not found". A direct ethernet cable connection from the modem to both computers works fine.
    I have power cycled all devices, I have reset the modem and the router, and I have tried different cables. I have also tried a second WRT54G router, but the same thing happens. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply. I initial powered everything down, disconnecting all cables and cords on both routers and the modem. When that didn't work, I went into the modem's configuration page and hit the "Factory Reset" button. I also pressed the reset button on the back of both routers and went in and set it up again with the SSID I used before.
    A wired connection from the modem to the router and from the router to my desktop returns a "Server Not Found" message when I open a browser. I think the fact that both a  wired connection from the modem to my laptop and from the modem to my desktop works indicate a router issue, but I can't be certain. You mentioned a configuration problem or a wifi issue, can you recommend a setting or place on the router's configuration page where I might be overlooking something? Thanks for the help.

  • Aiport Extreme cannot establish VPN connection through router must bypass

    Hello - I own an Airport Extreme with the latest firmware update. I cannot connect to my work VPN through the Airport Extreme router. If I bypass the router and connect directly to my modem the VPN works fine. My VPN connections also work fine in any other internet hotspot. Any ideas Apple folks? I am using MacPro, and MacBook with bootcamp MacOSX and Windows XP Pro.

    My workaround was taking the router back and getting a D-Link router.  Had it set up in 10 minutes with the VPN working, and staying connected.  I agree, there is something with the firmware on the router.  Good luck!
