E3000 won't connect to Windows 7

My network configuration is simple. 2 wired computers and one laptop. I bought an E3000 wireless router, connected it to a wired computer running XP and configured the router with no issues. Next, I created an Easy Setup Key, and connected wired computer number 2, which is running Windows 7, to the router and ran the Easy Setup Key. I ran the Easy Setup Key and I get a screen telling me that "Your router was not successfully set up". I have noticed that as soon as I plug my Windows 7 computer into the router, the router begins an endless cycle of resetting. As soon as I unplug the Windows 7 computer from the router, the router returns to normal and everything is fine. There has to be a setting I'm missing to prevent this. It's almost like the Windows 7 computer cannot establish a link with the router because the is no consistent connection between the 2 devices. Has anyone encountered this before?
Thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have solved my own problem and I wanted to post my answer in case anyone runs into the same situation. I have learned that my E3000 router was going into diagnostic mode whenever I would have 2 computers connected via a wired connection. The XP box was operating just fine until I connected my Windows 7 box, then the router would go into diagnostic mode (kinda looked like the router was power cycling over and over). After checking the IP addresses and making sure the IP world was correct, I turned off the wireless capabilities of the router ( since, I was not worried about wireless connectivity atm) and I was good as gold. Both computers could see each other and internet connectivity was achieved. The router stopped going into diagnostic mode and my problem was solved. I also have a laptop that I am wanting to connect to this network and it has a built in wireless G adapter. I turned on the 2.4 band and set it to wireless G only and now I have connectivity with the laptop also. So, it seems broadcasting in both bands was conflicting with something. I am kind of stumped why the wireless broadcasts would interfere with my wired connections, but there you have it. I thought both bands were supposed to broadcast at the same time. Am I correct in my assumption? What do I do if a wireless N adapter wants to be introduced to the network, since I can't dual broadcast?
I would like to thank everyone that provided their assistance with my issue. Your help was greatly appreciated.

IPOD won't connect to Windows or show up in itunes...HELP

Have my daughter's 30 GB 5th Gen Ipod here. When you plug it into the computer with the cord, it will turn on, and charge. However I get a balloon come up that says "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not regognize it. For assistance in solving this issue click this message." I clicked the message. It shows the Ipod in Device Manager as an "unknown device" and when you try to update the driver, it says there are no better drivers to install than the one currently installed. I have tried the 5 R's step by step several times, and that does not work. I can not restore it because it does not show up in itunes. I have tried it on other computers and it does the same thing. It plays the music she has on it, works fine, but we can not get it to connect to either computer. Her friend's Ipods connect to both our computers fine, and will download songs etc. I also have tried putting it into disc mode to see if it would go into itunes so we can restore it. Same message comes up when you have it in disc mode. I have also tried the "tap on the palm" suggestion, which made no difference at all. It just won't connect. I do have the newest version of itunes downloaded and installed.
I am at my wits end with this thing! PLEASE help me get this thing to connect.
Thanks!

OSX 10.8.5 won't connect to Windows 2008 R2 NFS

Hi
We have about 25 Mac clients in our Microsoft Windows environment. OSX is bound to our single Active Directory domain and all our Windows server are 2008 R2.
For several years we have been using SMB filesharing and connecting the Mac clients to our Windows file server. Now we are experiencing performance problems and are evaluating NFS file sharing on our file servers. The Mac client won't connect to our Windows NFS server and we have pinpointed the problem to OSX requesting Kerberos token encryption type "des3-hmac-sha1" which is unsupported by Windows.
How can we configure NFS / Kerberos on OSX 10.8.5 to use a different Kerberos encryption type ?
I have tried to update the /etc/krb5.conf file without success. OSX is still asking for the same encryption type.
The file /Library/Preferences/edu.mit.Kerberos does not exist. The my understanding OSX 10.8.5 uses the Heimdal Kerberos implementation.
/etc/krb5.conf

So Does Maverick Fix this issue?
Im trying to sort out my inlaws wireless printing issues. They have a mac running 10.6.8 works fine wirelessly and USB. They have another mac running 10.8.5 and this mac will not see the printer directly. I can print via mac 1 using a shared connection. But if you deselect mac 1 sharing options then mac 2 cannot see the printer. I can print via usb and via the shared connection using mac 1. But not directly.... So if Bonjour is no good on 10.8.5 does the update to mavericks fix it?
Thanks

One day later: My solution
I went to the Apple Store with a Genius onliine appointment a few hours after posting this. They couldn't connect it either. One of the terminals had CORRODED. In 4 months. They replaced the phone. I think I used it in the rain once.
My comment:
I had a Radio Shack TRS-80 Model I long ago in the stone age. This was one of the first PC's and competed with the Apple model I. It connected to external floppy drives with uncoated steel terminals on the connectors. It cost $2200 in 1977 dollars, now at least $6500, because you could buy a VW for $4000 at the time. It was necessary to go over the terminals with a pencil eraser every few months to get the corrosion off and polish them up. At least they were external and you could do this in a couple of minutes. My point is Radio Shack made a computer that cost half as much as a car unreliable because they saved pennies using cheap metal connectors. Ditto with the iPhone. Apple, what are you thinking? At least please make a terminal-polishing kit, because I can't get a pencil eraser in that tiny slot to clean them myself next time.

Apple Wireless Keyboard won't connect under Windows

Hi there,
I've installed XP on my MacBook Pro via BootCamp, but my wireless keyboard & mouse won't connect. XP asks about pairing verification number, and I didn't found the number. Where can I find the number?
Thanks

Hello:
It sounds like a Microsoft issue. Why not see if the great cloud in the sky in Washington has an answer - perhaps on their web site. The reason lies somewhere in the Windows system, I suspect.
Also, are there drivers that need to be installed in Windows (as you know, on a Mac they are plug and play)?
Additionally, here are a bunch of FAQ's that may be helpful:

Ipod stuck in lock mode and won't connect to Windows computer

My Ipod is stuck on the lock position and won't connect to my computer when I plug it in. The hold switch moves back and forth just fine and it was working perfectly yesterday. It's the classic nano that's square. It's stuck on a song that I used as my alarm yesterday morning. I haven't turned it on since then and when I pushed the on switch, it went to the screen but then wouldn't do anything else. I've tried to hold down the menu and middle button while moving the hold switch, but it didn't work. Please help!

I fixed it! I had to switch the hold button from on to off to on again and then held the menu and middle button down at the same time. It works just fine now!

Palm Pro won't connect to Windows XP via USB

I can't get my Palm Pro to connect to windows XP. When I connect it, via the USB connection, it prompts that it has found new hardware, however the ActiveSync portion fails and nothing happens. I've uninstalled & installed the software twice and even dug into the registery to make sure it was completely cleaned out. Futhermore, it connects to my laptop at home no problems. Firewall is disabled.
Thoughts?
Post relates to: Treo Pro T850 (Sprint)

In device manager you do not see any listing for the Palm or Windows Mobile device, but you see the DM jump or blink. When you connect the USB cable, do you get a beep-beep low then high, or a triple gong sound. The triple gong sound would indicate that the connection is established, but the device is not recognized. You may have a driver issue that require a clean uninstall / reinstall. I am guessing that you did try another USB port. Here are the steps for the clean uninstall / reinstall:
Full uninstall of PD on XP:
You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
happens. You can find your data files by going to C:\Program Files\Palm or
Palm One. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and copy.
Then go to your PC desktop, right click on a blank spot and select paste.
If this is the first time you are installing Palm desktop and encountering a problem, skip the previous step.
For Palm desktop 6.2, look in the following location for the folders and files, my documents, PalmOS desktop. You will find the username folder in this location.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
with Palm Desktop from your computer. Like the above folder, delete the Palm folder. Once this is done, you will need to delete some registry keys
from your PC Operating System registry.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
to not start up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a
PC technician that you can pay to help you. This will show them everything
they need to delete. To retain your current Registry settings, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
On the PC, go to start and run type "regedit" without quotes
Highlight MY COMPUTER, go to File --> export. Should pop up with a Save As
box. Current location is fine should be in My Documents or you can change to a location you will remember. In the file name box, type "Regbackup[todaysdate]" i.e. Regbackup07072008. Next, the hard part.
The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are
you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
BUT do not turn off your computer.
The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here
but if they are delete them)
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
Next reboot your computer
Then reinstall your Palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If it asks
you for a username and you synced your device before, put in 'test" if you
did not sync before you create a hotsync name.

Ipod Nano won't connect to windows vista

ive had an ipod nano 3rd gen for xmas and my hewlett packard pc with windows vista operating system wont recognise the ipod thus meaning im sat here wiv a shiny new ipod with absolutely nothing on it SOB SOB

Your speaker has probably auto connected to your phone so the Nano can't see it. Turn off BT on your phone and any other BT devices you've connected with, put the speaker in pairing mode and try again.

"USB Device Not Recognized" Bubble/ Ipod won't connect to Windows

Whenever i connect my ipod to my computer the ipod goes to "do not disconnect" and a bubble pops up on my computer saying "USB DEvice Not Recognized" i have switched it to all of my usb ports and unplugged all usbs except for my mouse at the same time. this happens 95% of the time. my ipod does charge while connected and it has only connected to itunes once in the past 2 weeks. im not sure if it is itunes because it started around the time i updated to itunes 7. since it is a windows bubble though i think it is a windows or ipod problem and not itunes. i have a dell that isnt great but works fine.
thanks for any help.
... Go TTU!

Make that two idiots. My roommate got a Sansa and I decided to try out the cable. Nothing happened. Now suddenly my nano isn't recognized by my computer. I'm glad I read your post, now I can stop looking high and low for a solution. Until this happened it worked good as new.

Netware Access Point won't connect with Windows, but will connect to Macs

Recently we acquired Cable Internet Service, which was brought into the X Serve Network Card. After that it is transfered onto the second network card which then dishes out DHCP to all our client computers (including laptops). However, it appears that only the Macintosh laptops are obtaining internet, while the windows laptops show they have a wifi connection, but the browser applications refuse to launch on everyone of them. Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thank you.

When you reinstalled iTunes, you may not have done it correctly. It needs to be done in a specific order, or it will just compound your problems. There is a problem with the latest iTunes in Windows, and it has been requiring a removal and reinstallation. See this support document support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 and remove and reinstall by following these instructions exactly. This should fix your problem.

WRT160N Won't Connect With Windows Mobile Device

I had another wireless router for years that connected almost instantly to my Windows Mobile 6.1 handheld device. I switched to the WRT160N and it works great with my wireless laptops. The device does not even show up in my available device lists on my Windows Mobile phone with wi-fi. I tried manually connecting and it does not work. I tried all of the other security settings, it does not work. The phone manufacturer (not the sevice provider which is Verizon) has acknowledged that they are having calls only about Cisco branded routers. Does anyone have a solution?

I had exactly the same problem. Tried the live technical support chat but didn't solve the problem. Resorted to random changing of settings and discovered if I changed the router setting Wireless -> Basic Wireless Settings - Network mode from 'Mixed' to 'BG-Mixed' my Windows Mobile 6.1 device found the network and happily connects with WPA2

Well, they were wrong. Your issue is with Microsoft products, not Apple. Therefore questions should be presented on their forums.
