E1500 - not as easy to hook up as they say.

I followed the directions at least 6 times and I still had no internet connection. Is this because I have Windows 8 and all directions are for windows 7??? I finally gave up and hooked back up our 6 year old belkin wi fi router. Had internet access in 1 minute. I bought this wi fi router was because Amazon described it as simple, quick, automatically does the work of hooking it up for you. Takes less than 5 minutes. Twice as powerful, twice the range, yadda yadda yadda. I am not a novice with computers and modems and routers. Anyone have any helpful suggestions for me??

It actually shouldn't matter that you have Windows 8, the setup software should work. I suggest downloading the Cisco Connect Setup Software for PC from the E1500 Support Page. Download it and give it another go.
If this version fails, you may need to configure the router manually. Check out the articles below on how to configure your router with the Internet service type that you currently have.

  • Win8.1 Update 1 install was not an easy task. (Win8.1 Pro 64bit)

    Win8.1 Update 1 install was not an easy task. (Win8.1 Pro 64bit)
    KB2919355 Failed to install : 09Apr, 11Apr, 11Apr, 12Apr, 12Apr, 13Apr, 16Apr, 17Apr; succeeded: 17Apr.
    After the first three failures I did an online search and found the following information:
    According to a posting I found, when Windows 8.1 Update first fails to install, the original patch does not clean all leftovers, so all your attempts to manually deploy the new release will obviously fail as well. Andrew B recommends users follow the next
    steps and then try to install Windows 8.1 Update manually.
    1. Launch Command Prompt with administrator privileges
    2. Run the following command: dism /online /remove-package /packagename:Package_for_KB2919355~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.3.1.14
    3. When step 2 is completed, run this command: dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup
    4. Try to install Windows 8.1 Update manually
    I followed these steps and tried both an online and offline installation a couple of times - without success.  More searching resulted in more information:
    from:
    http://news.softpedia.com/news/Windows-8-1-Update-Installation-Fails-with-Error-Code-80070020-436577.shtml
    1. Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
    2. SFC /scannow
    The next attempt at installing Update 1 worked. I then checked the CBS.log file in the \Windows\Logs\CBS folder and found numerous comments that 'SFC /scannow' found many missing or corrupted files and took action to replace them. I was surprised that many
    of the 'new' files were images and were in the \Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Themes1 or \Themes2 folders.
    I had previously deleted all images I did not want as wallpaper - there was no option to unstall themes using Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on and off.
    So, it appears that Win8.1 Update 1 expects to find 'everything' that was part of the initial/original installation still on the computer even though I "Took Ownership" of the original images and folders and deleted them. SFC /scannow may have
    repaired/installed other files but that information was eliminated with the successful install.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your sharing on this issue.
    The update 1 also change some UI designs, that's why it try to find all related files about theme and components to replace.

  • EA4500 - not as easy to set up

    Unfortunately the Linksys EA4500 is not as easy to "Set Up & Manage with Ease" as they claim. After trying to connect my Dell color laser network printer, which was working just fine with the replaced Dlink DIR-655 router, it turns out that the supplied Easy Connect Software does not allow non-USB or non-wireless printers to connect to the network. One must manually configure the IP address, according to the Cisco technical support manager. It is not a simple three step set up as advertised.
    The Linksys technical support manager agrees that it is a good thing to warn people not to buy this router if one is expecting easy connection to their network. "It's out of my hands, how to support you to configure the Dell network printer to work with the Linksys EA4500 router." Linksys referred me to a third party, for a fee, to explain how to manually configure the IP address to connect a network printer to their router.
    Numerous other features are not fully developed. Wait for this product to develop into a more mature product. This router is not ready for primetime.

    The Cisco Connect software comes with the Linksys Wireless-N (E/EA Series) routers that let you manage your network easier. So first of all uninstall the older Cisco connect Software from the computer..  Then make the following connectivity:
    The router’s power adapter needs to be plugged to your router and into an available power outlet.
    If using a wired connection, the first Ethernet cable needs to be plugged to the computer’s LAN port into any of the router’s blue numbered Ethernet ports.
    The second Ethernet cable should be plugged to the modem’s Internet port and the other end into the router’s yellow Internet port.
    Ensure that you have no firewall enabled that may prevent the router from being detected.
    After the connection install the Cisco Connect Software again… Here is the link for the same: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&login=1&vw=1&app=search&articleid=21463&userrole=Links...
    Instructions to connect Network Printer with a Router
    1 Set the router near the computer that is closest to your cable or broadband modem. Plug the router's electrical plug into a wall outlet but do not connect any other cables yet.
    2 Put the installation CD that came with the router into the computer's disc drive. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the router's software on the computer. Install the printer's software on the computer if you have not already done so.
    3 Connect an Ethernet cable from your modem to the port on the router marked as, "WAN" or "Wide Area Network." Connect an Ethernet cable from the computer to any of the numbered ports on the router. Open the Start menu on the computer and then click "Control Panel."
    4 Scroll through the Control Panel options and then double-click the "Network and Sharing Center" icon. Click on the "Connect to a Network" link at the left side of the window. Find the name of your router in the list of available networks and click on it. Click on "Connect."
    5 Connect an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port on the printer to any of the numbered ports on the router. Return to the "Network and Sharing Center" window and click on the button labeled as "Turn on Printer Sharing."
    6 Click on the "Apply" button to save the setting. Click on the "View Computers and Devices" link at the left side of the window. Click on the "Add a Printer" button when the new window appears.
    7 Click on the "Add a Network Printer" button and wait for the computer to scan for attached printers. Click on the name of the printer and then click on "Connect."
    8 Connect Ethernet cables from the other computers on your network to the numbered ports on the router. Repeat the process of connecting to the network, turning on printer sharing, and then adding the printer on those computers.

  • I have new 2T iomega external HD (Mac Companion) - my Mac (2.8 GHz i7 - Lion OS) will not recognize HD if hooked up with Firewire, but it does recognize if hooked up via USB - how can I get it to recognize with Firewire?

    I have new 2T iomega external HD (Mac Companion) - my Mac (2.8 GHz i7 - Lion OS) will not recognize HD if hooked up with Firewire, but it does recognize if hooked up via USB - how can I get it to recognize with Firewire?

    Try a different FW800 cable and also try doing a SMC reset. If neither work try another FW800 device to see if it's recognized, if it is then  you know it's not the Mac it's probably the EHD.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • ITunes not allowing iPod to hook up

    Hi.
    My laptop had a little problem, so I reinstalled windows, so anyway, I hook up my iPod to my laptop, because the screen says hook up to iTunes, and after I hook it up, iTunes says, "Cannot view (something like that) iPod because theres a pass lock on it, and I did put it on it, and I cant get into my iPod to unlock it, because it says hook up to iTunes. :'(
    Is there a way to fix this?
    Zac

    Disconnect.
    Shut off iPod. (Hold top and Home buttons and slide...)
    Hold and KEEP HOLDING the Home button while plugging in to the computer.
    You will be asked to restore, bypassing the passcode.
    You will not have any data on the iPod when done - you have to re-sync.

  • Easy Setups in folder, but not in Easy Setups window in FCP?

    Hi all,
    Just got my own copy of FCP, and have been tinkering around and getting familiar with the sequence settings, easy setups, etc.
    I like the concept of the Easy Setups, however I noticed that not all of the Easy Setups from the "Additional Easy Setups" folder in my Applications folder (which came with the install) are visible in application.
    For example, for one organization I edit for, we use a compact HD camera, a Canon VIXIA HF S200, which is AVCHD based, and we shoot in the XP+ setting (1440x1080) at 60i (29.97fps if you prefer).
    When I did work on FCP6 there (I did not bother much with Easy Setups then) we'd be working with the appropriate sequence: ProRes422 1440x1080i60.
    However in toying with these easy setups, the only ProRes 422 Easy Setup showing up is HDV-Apple ProRest 422 1080p24. However, the easy setups folder HAS a 422, 1440x1080, 60i easy setup config file, it's just not showing up in the app.
    Worst comes to worst I'll just manually change the sequence setting because the sequence settings are there, I was just wondering If I had to "install" the additional easy setups or something so they actually appear as easy setups.
    Again, no big deal, just was wondering if anyone knew, thanks!

    Hi -
    The "Easy Set-Ups" are a legacy feature in FCP from when tape based acquisition was standard.
    Since you will be ingesting your HF S200 material via Log and Transfer, and making transcoding decisions there, the Easy Set Up you have chosen is not relevant.
    Once you have ingested your clips, when you place/edit the first clip to a new sequence, FCP will prompt you to match the sequence settings to your source material settings - again, making the Easy Set Up not relevant.

  • Is there not an easier way to rate apps?

    So I've seen the posts saying that I cab rate an app on my iPad in the App store, but is there really not an easier way? As I am understanding this, I have to basically search for each app one by one - apps I've already got installed - and then rate them from the app store. This makes no sense at all. A) The only easy access to rating an app is basically as you are first downloading it on your iPad. B) This seems to really devalue the usefulness of something like the genius match thing that will suggest apps based on what I like. Sorry, I am not going to search for each individual app then rate it ... I don't understand why it just won't take me there from the "purchased" tab ... or am I missing something?

  • Apple tv not working asking to hook up to usb

    apple tv not working. asking to hook up usb.

    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source List
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

  • Windows sharing - NOT THAT EASY

    So I've just bought a new MBP 13" and I am having a bunch of problems :S one of them is the ability to share files from my desktop PC running windows 7 and be able to view them on my MBP, so taking a look at apple's website, they say that the name will just pop up in the sidebar automatically!!! WRONG... I can't access the files unless each and every time I connect to the server and type in the IP address or the computer name!!! and I have to do so each and every time.
    on the other hand I can access my files in just seconds when viewing them on my 4 years old toshiba laptop
    The other thing that is not working is printer sharing? how the **** do I get it to work, I've tried every setting, in addition to enabling ldp printing on my windows 7 PC.... the result: NOT even close to WORKING
    PS: the desktop computer doesn't have any type of security, I've just formatted it to check if the problem will be solved, and both the MBP and the PC are on the same workgroup.

    I can assure you that printer sharing under windoze to mac works. I am not saying it's easy to setup, it does work. Evidently you are writing down a parameter with mistakes. In defense to Apple, my only complaint is the lack of auto networking with windows but I feel it isn't really Apple's problem. And more like a courtesy to somewhat being networkable to windoze. I have absolutely no problems networking with other macs. I wish I could afford to dump all my windoze machines.

  • Easy calculator (not so easy for me.)

    I am taking a basic java development course.
    Right now I am trying to create a simple calculator using "if" statements. I missed several classes due to sickness and have not had any luck finding someone who knows java programming to help me figure out the basics of what I'm doing wrong.
    When I compile the following, I get the error message " ';' expected "
    at the line that says:
    "else Ans = Invalid Entry;"
    I believe that this single error may just be masking a much larger problem. Can anyone help point out the (i'm sure) obvious flaws?
    Thanks,

    Thanks for all the input.
    I have implemented some of your suggestions, along with a couple of improvements I was able to glean from my textbook.
    It gets a little closer to compiling but still not quite there.
    There is something about the 'if' statements I put in here that the compiler does not like. I only get an error saying that it cannot find symbol for variable "result"
    However, when I comment out all the "if" statements and run each of the possibilities (*, /, -, +) one by one, it compiles and runs no problem.
    Can anyone see a problem with the if statements??
    Thanks again for all your help!
