EasyLink Advisor detects this computer is connected to a different router

I got my WRT54G router connected okay to our Dell desktop (with ethernet cable) and our son's Dell laptop (wireless) as well as the Wii.  We have Verizon DSL.  The problem is that every day or so, or even sometimes several times a day, I get the message above, and have to go through the whole setup again to get connected to the internet.  Sometimes I have to power down the router and power back up, and a couple of times we've had to press the reset on the router to get it back up. My firmware is version 8.2.03 and I am set up for WEP 128 bit encryption.  I am open to turning off security if this would help.  The router is set to channel 6.  Any advice would be appreciated.

Below are some steps to follow.
1. You need to access the routers set-up page 192.168.1.1 Password admin
2. Go to the wireless tab and change your channel 1,6 or 11 are best and also change your wireless network name to anything other than Linksys
3.In your computer, go to your wireless software, and go to Preferred Networks or Profiles. There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys" and any others that you do not recognize.
Hope this helps.

  • Getting "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" when connecting by USB

    Any suggestions?

    I haven't experienced that, but I recommend you start with the usual maintenance procedures:
    First, startup using Safe Boot, which does some repairs while starting. Just restart normally after that finishes. (And try adding a printer after that):
    OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
    If that hasn't helped, try Resetting the Printing System:
    OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
    Then try adding the printer.

    Well, you downloaded a bootleg copy of iOS 7 beta and have installed it on your phone without being a developer. It has bricked your phone and you cannot get help here because doing what you did has voided your warranty. Have a nice day.

    After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it. If you have not done this since the last firmware upgrade, please do this now.
    If you need more help, you will need to tell us more details of your problems.
    Please state the model and version of your router.
    Please state the make and exact model number of your modem.
    Please state your ISP.
    Also, describe exactly what is happening on your network when your system disconnects. Are all computers disconnected from the Intenet? Or only the wireless computers? What is running on the computers when your system crashes? a game? P2P software? other?
    Also, please connect your computer directly to your modem. Verify that you can get a working Internet connection, then do the following:
    Go to "Start" > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
    A black DOS box will appear. Type in "ipconfig /all" (with no quotes), then hit the Enter key. Post your results.

  • When trying to access music stored on my icloud i get the following warning 'This computer is already associated with an Apple ID'. itunes support say they have 'released' all devices associated with my account but i still have the same problem-any ideas?

    cant access music sored in my icloud when using my lap top. any ideas?

    iTunes imposes a 90 day wait period before a device can be associated with a different ID.  If iTunes support only removed all devices associated with your ID, this does not override the 90-day wait period.  From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627:
    "Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90 day timer. The timer must complete 90 days from the day the device was associated before it can be associated to another Apple ID."
    Unless iTune support can override the wait period for you, you have no choice but to wait if you want to download it from iCloud.  If your purchases music is on any of your iOS deivces, you can transfer it to the iTunes library on your computer by authorizing your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in iTunes, Store>Authorize This Computer), then connecting your device to your computer, opening iTunes, and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.

  • External HDD: "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer"

    Hi,
    I have an external drive with important data on it (there is a backup, but there is also some non-backuped data as well...). I cannot access the external drive because I receive a "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" message connecting it. I was wondering, if you have some advice on how to get my data back?
    I have a WD Elements 2 TB (about 2 months old), I am using is with an iMac, latest Snow Leopard. The drive used to work all fine. Now, I receive a "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" every time I connect it. Same thing happens if connected to my MacBook Pro.
    What happened?: I was copying files to the external drive. I the middle of it, I received a message complaining I that assumedly ejected the drive by pulling the USB cable out instead of properly ejecting it software-side (I did not do this). The drive symbol was gone. Now, I plug the drive out an reconnected it. The drive symbol showed up again. I continued copying files on the drive, but after some 30 seconds, I received the same error message again. One more time, I disconnected and reconnected the drive - this time to another USB port. The drive showed up, but I was not able to copy files on it (I am using muCommander, it just kept showing 0kb progress). I restarted the Mac. Since then I am getting the "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." The drive symbol does not show up anymore.
    I was googling the problem: in one forum there was a suggestion to click "initialize drive" and than to "repair" in DiscUtility. I clicked initialize drive and the drive is shown in DiscUtility, but "repair" and "verify" are greyed out. I read more posts on it, one posts suggested NOT to click initialize because that means format in Mac OS language (btw: ***, why is it not called format).
    That is the situation at the moment. What is the best - if there is - way to get my data back? DiscWarrior?
    I very much appreciate your advice!
    Daniel

    "Initializing" a drive has been normal computer terminology for decades.  "Formatting" generally referred to the high-level preparation also called "erasing."  None of this is "Mac OS language."
    Disk Warrior will not likely fix the problem you have.  DW can repair a damaged directory, but your error suggests an even worse problem of directory corruption.  I suggest you try using DW if you have it.  Visit the Alsoft site to determine the limitations and usage of the version you have.  It may not be able to boot your computer depending upon what version of DW you have and how new your computer is.
    If you have no success with DW then see the following:
    Basics of File Recovery
    Files in Trash
    If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location.  OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
    If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone.  Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

  • "Trust This Computer?"

    I have a brand new iPhone 6 and brand new iPad Air 2. EVERY time I plug them into my MBP, I get a message asking me:
    "Trust this computer? Your settings and data will be accessible from this computer when connected."
    I then hit "Trust", but the next time I plug either one in, I get the message again. I'm using Apple cables. It doesn't matter whether I plug them into my USB hub or directly into the MBP. The message comes up every time.
    Why is it doing this and how do I make it stop?

    As mentioned above, this problem has somehow been eradicated for me. I'm not sure exactly what fixed the issue for me, but I can say I did the following things - in this exact order - after which the issue was no more:
    1) Installed the latest version of iTunes (11.1).
    2) Ran a number of system maintenance tasks, for which I use the application "OnyX". In particular, I verified "S.M.A.R.T status" and "structure of volume", then verify/repair "System Permissions", then ran daily, weekly, and monthly "Scripts", then ran a rebuild of "LaunchServices", then ran a number of "Cleaning" tasks (including all "System, User, and Misc." tasks).
    3) Restarted my iPhone, my iPad, and the computer used to sync these devices (my iMac).
    I'm not sure if one (or any) of these things rectified the problem for me, but I'm sure delighted it's been rectified.
    Hope this helps.

  • When trying to connect to the internet i keep getting safari isnt connected to internet and im at home and my computer is connected not sure what happend but having trouble with my 3g phone and internet

    You can only add music to iTunes Match from your iTunes library on your computer, not from your iOS device.  If you have music on your iPad that is not on your computer, you'll have to import it to your iTunes library on your computer to add it to iTunes Match. 
    Music purchased from the iTunes store can be imported directly to your iTunes library by authorizing your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in Store>Authorize This Computer), then connecting the iPad to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  Music from other sources will require using 3rd party software to transfer to your computer, such as Touch Copy.

  • HT5868 My iphone 5 with ios 7 stopped promting me to "trust this computer" and wont charge from USB ports now

    My iphone 5 with ios 7 stopped promting me to "trust this computer" 1 day ago after doing it everytime i plugged it in to a USB port on my work laptop. It will now no longer charge from any of the USB ports. The USB ports work fine on the laptop for other devices and my phone will prompt me and charge at any other computer in my office. I possibly hit do not trust by accident which may have caused this. I reset all settings on the phone and rebooted my laptop and none of this fixed the issue. Phone syncs and charges fine at home and there were no issues with my work laptop up until 2 days ago with prompts or charging. Any ideas??

    Hi,
    I'm new on this forum and with my iphone 5c.
    'Till some days ago I had a Windows Vista pc and when I connected the iphone, it was recognized.
    Yesterday I decided to change my SO in Linux Ubuntu 13.04 but now my iphone isn't recognized and I'm not able to use it.
    This message appears on my iphone
    "Trust This Computer? Your settings and data will be accessible from this computer when connected via USB or Wi-Fi. [Trust] [Don't Trust]"
    I clicked Trust but the iphone buzzes twice, then repeats the prompt. This will repeat endlessly.
    I read a lot about the bug, but is there any solutions waiting for the resolution of bug?
    I can't use my iphone!!!!

  • I have OSX lion 10.7.2 and want this pos to automatically connect to my linksysy router

    I have an early 2011 Macbook Pro with OSX Lion (10.7.2) and I want this POS to connect to my linksys router automatically just like all my other computers (Vista) do. I have to join network EVERY time I want to go online. Any ideas? My system prefs, network has my network set up as join automatically but it NEVER does.

    Turn off the "hidden network" feature of your router, it serves no purpose as hackers can see it regardless if it's hidden or not.
    Mac's won't automatically connect to hidden networks, only upon a reboot it will, it's so the Mac isn't going around saying "joe network are you there?" all the time as thats a security issue.
    Follow these Wifi security steps
    Setting up a wifi router
    there is really only one secure way left to make sure your not hacked. WEP and WPA are both cracked. A too small of a password is easily brute forced by new graphics based cracking software and worldwide botnets.
    1: Update your router firmware. For Airport it's easy, just use Software Update and/or update in Airport Utility.
    2: WPA2 (AES) Personal easier (or Enterprise)
    3: 2 - Random 20+ letter, number, character, symbol, case passwords. One for the Admin use of the router only, kept off the machine and locked in a safe, the other for Internet Access only used on all devices.  A password this strong will take until the next Big Bang to crack, perhaps a quarter of that as technology improves. Certainly not in your lifetime.
    4: MAC address filtering and invisible networks are no match for hackers. Don't bother.
    5: Rotate the Internet Access password to keep people you don't want back on, from coming back. Once they have the password it's logged permanently into their machines. They could delete it, but most don't know they can or won't.

  • Will a desktop connected to a wireless router via network cable be able to use a wireless printer?

    My computer is a Dell runing XP home edition. This computer is connected via a network cable to the wireless router.
    My deskjet 4580 printer is connected to the wireless router network and printing and scanning via wireless network with a laptop that is connected to the network wireless.
    Now I want to print and scan using the desktop computer also. Should I install the wireless driver for the printer? Do I need to connect the printer with USB cable with my desktop computer?
    Please help.  I do not want to disturb the laptop that can print and scan wirelessly with the printer.
    Thanks.

    if the printer is connected to the router wired, then the router is the hub, so you should just need to install the driver for the printer in the machine that is not working.
    If you install the full feature driver to the printer on the computer you want to print via wired to the router to the printer that should work. Run this too:

  • EasyLink Advisor cannot detect WRT300N on wired computer

    Upgraded my router to WRT300N with a WRT150N running as an access point.  Laptops are now running just fine both base and access point.  Wired computer has Internet, Network drive access, and can access the router setup (192.168.1.1).
    Trying to load the EasyLink Advisor.  It cannot detect the router.  The setup is cable modem to switch, cat5  to ethernet card to computer.  Even tried bringing the modem to the computer and direct connecting. Still no luck.
    The EasyLink Advisor is verison 1.6.0032
    The WRT300N router is version 1.1 with firmware 1.51.2
     Please help.

    Configuration for cable connection:-
    Before doing the following steps, you have to connect the modem to the
    router's Internet Port and the computer to the Ethernet Port Number 1.
    Step 01 : - Reset the router
    1. Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds.
    2. Then, unplug the power keep holding down the reset button for
    another 30 Seconds.
    3. Plug back the power back in, and keep holding down the reset button
    for 30 Seconds.
    4. Release the reset button.
    Please access the setup page of the router by launching an
    Explorer and type on the address bar, 192.168.1.1 and press enter. When
    it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field
    empty and provide password as admin.On the main setup page the ""Internet Connection Type"" should be
    on ""Obtain IP Automatically - DHCP “. Click on the Save Settings
    button.
    Now click on the sub tab ""MAC address clone"".
    - Click on enable
    - Click on clone your PC's MAC button and then click on the Save

  • Can ONLY connect wireless by using wire & EasyLink Advisor first - help!

    Hello,
    Installed a new WRT54GS for a friend's business.  I've tried several laptops, and always get the same result:  I can see and connect to the WLAN's SSID just fine after providing the WEP key.  However, it times out trying to get an IP address from the router.  I can manually enter an IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS server that I know are valid, and it still won't connect.  (Example: 192.168.1.105; 255.255.255.0; 192.168.1.1; 192.168.2.1)  Still get zero packets received.  Now, if I connect the laptop to the router and run EasyLink Advisor, it will get settings from the router, and eventually connect to the WLAN just fine.  The laptop will then stay connected just fine until a reboot.  After a reboot, I'm back where I started.  I haven't changed many defaults at all on the router.  It's set as a DHCP server, with a pool of 50 addresses beginning at 192.168.1.100.
    Again, DHCP fails unless I first use a wire and EasyLink Advisor.  Any ideas how to resolve this so I don't have to go through this process each time?

    Thanks for the reply.  I can't get back to the machine for a couple days.  I assume you mean disable the firewall on the laptops I'm trying to connect, right?  3 different laptops all failed to connect, and I'm sure they don't all have AVG.  (I'm not sure any of them do.)  I have Symantec Corporate AV on mine, and I connect to several other WLANs without a problem.

  • WRT54GS - no internet connection detected yet my wired computer connects to internet through router

    I have had my router for a little over a year. I am connected to a wild blue satellite modem. It has worked with no problem for a year.  Now, it claims to not detect an internet connection, although the computer wired to the router has no problem connecting to the internet. I just cannot connect wireless to the internet because the router thinks it has no internet connection. I have reset several times, powered on and off modem, followed all instructions for troubleshooting. All lights are lit on both the modem and the router. Do I need to replace the router, or would I encounter the same issues with a new one?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    My other computer is connecting now, although EasyLink still shows no internet connection.  However, as long as I can get a connection, I do not care. I have no idea why it is working now and not before.  I do not know if my husband's laptop will connect yet, but something seems to be working.
