FiOS no connection

Everything has been working fine until the last couple days. I have FiOS w/ actiontec MI424-WR. My PowerMac G5 is wired to the actiontec. It is being assigned the same IP address that it has always had. My windows lap top is wirelessly connected to my AirPortExtreme that is bridged to the actiontec. The windows machine is working fine (I'm posting this on it). I have tried rebooting the router, the computer, etc. I've tried plugging in the cat5 cable from the G5 into both the router, and the AE. It is always assigned the same ip address in either situation (192.168.1.2). I set the actiontec to assign that IP to that computer. Maybe I should let it do it on it's own? Anyway I can not get any web page to load other than the router's page (192.168.1.1). No mail, no iChat. I have that IP widget and it says my LAN is x.x.1.2, but that there is no WAN. Any ideas? Thanks,
John

Three thoughts come to mind: 1. The Ethernet port on the computer is dead; 2. The wired WAN port on the router is dead; 3. The router's wired LAN ports are dead.
Otherwise it appears that the wireless side is working from what you've described. You can test theory 1 by connecting the DSL modem directly to your G5. If the G5 can now pull a valid IP and connect then the computer's Ethernet port is OK. If the router's status light shows active communication between the modem and the router then that would suggest the router's WAN port is OK (not definitive, however.) You can try connecting the modem to one of the router's LAN ports, and connect the computer to one of the other LAN ports. If the computer pulls a valid IP and connects OK, then the router would appear to be fully functional (check the other LAN ports to be sure insofar as it's possible for only one port to be bad.)
Normally the router should be configured to assign IP addresses using DHCP. The computer's Network preferences should also be configured to use DHCP. You should not assign fixed IP addresses.

  • How do I change the room that my FiOS Internet connection is wired to?

    My FiOS Internet connection was placed in my office but I am now renovating and need to remove my computer ( wired ) as well as router to another room during the renovation .
    I have coax outlets in 4 other places throughout the house but they were not wired to get the FiOS signal.
    I called and was told that if I am able I can connect one of those to the FiOS splitter or I can get verizon to come out to do it for me ( but I don't want to spend the money , particularly since this is temporary )
    Can anyone tell me how to do this?
    I checked out the wiring and can see that the Box in my basement is connected to a splitter with 6 other plugs of which 2 are used.
    Then there is another splitter attached to the wire that is coming in to the basement from outside. That is a splitter with 4 plugs..
    Any ideas? I can attach a picuture of the splitters if anyone is willing to take a look. ( tho I'm not sure if this post will take images since I dont' see an ' attachment link '
    Thank you!
    Susan

    The four plug splitter I assume is from a previous Cable company installation. If by "Box" you mean the ONT Verizon installed when you had FiOS put in, just connect a Coaxial cable coming from a desired room to the splitter the ONT is connected to and move the router over. Things should connect right up.

  • Need help with Airport Extreme and my new Verizon Fios Internet connection

    I just got the Fios install, and the tech and I couldn't figure out how to use my Airport Extreme as my wireless connection. I'm not real tech savvy (and I've only been a Mac guy for about 18 months). My current arrangement is the basic Verizon setup with the Airport out of the loop. How can I go about moving from here back to using my Airport Extreme? I need the range! Thanks in advance for your help.

    Have you tried resetting and reconfiguring the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS)?
    Are you using OS 10.5 or OS 10.4 or earlier?
    Are you using the round 802.11b/g AEBS or the square 802.11b/g/n AEBS?
    If you are using OS10.5 OR the square 802.11b/g/n AEBS you should refer to "Designing AirPort Networks Using AirPort Utility" (direct PDF link).
    Otherwise you should refer to "Designing AirPort Extreme Networks" (direct PDF link).

  • FIOS internet connection question

    We are getting our FIOS bundle installed this coming Friday (phone, TV, internet) - - My house is 5 years old, and has coax outlet at the TV, and phone jacks in two rooms.  Our home computer is in another bedroom, and it has a phone jack that was wired later, with an exterior, surface wired (not in the walls) phone cable.  It is about 20 feet from the current external phone interface, and on the same wall as the phone interface (and the future location of the FIOS exterior box).  I'm assuming that I will need a coax outlet in this bedroom to connect the new router to......the confirmation from Verizon says that hookup of the home computer is included in the installation, including jacks, etc.  I'm OK with the installer running new coax along the exterior wall to replace the phone line.  I'm guessing that this will be included in my installation?  Just curious -
    Thanks a bunch!
    Kevin

    You kind of want to think what you want where.
    VZ will want to connect the router to coax.  They will also want to connect the STBs by coax which typically means a single coax in and then a multiport splitter to allow connections to the router and the STBs.  The PC's need to connect to the router via either Wireless or ethernet.  The router does not have to be besides the computer or the TV it's your decision where any of it it goes and VZ will provide a wired connection, within reason, that meets what you decide you want.

  • FIOS Internet connection reset on the verizon side

    I am a new subscriber of the FIOS internet after having Comcast for years.  I like the service speed, etc.. but I have one nagging issue that I can't seem to get any help with.
    I have the ethernet from the ONT plugged directly into my firewall (same one I used for years with comcast) and every 1 hour 55 minutes and 3 seconds it immediately drops the connection and then restarts it.  This is a problem as there are many times I am in the middle of a vpn session and once it kills my connection I lose what I was doing, etc.
    Any ideas or suggestions?
    Here is a snippet of my FW log showing the drops:
    This is repeated every 1:55:03 in my logs.....
    Primary Cable Modem connection terminated after 1 hour(s), 55 minute(s), 3 second(s).
    Primary Cable Modem connection established, IP address XX.XX.XX.XX assigned.

    Wondering if it has to do something with renewing the lease?  Getting a new ip addy each time?
    Perhaps the firewall you have the internet running through isn't working well with the renewing of your lease -- seems like it since it appears it happens on set intervals.  Maybe there is something you could modify in the firewall settings?

  • FIOS internet connection drops 20x daily

    I was an original FIOS customer 5 years ago and had no problems with the internet connection at that time.  However, since returning to FIOS in May 2012, the WIFI connection consistently drops 20x or more a day for no reason.  It will reconnect itself but it takes 5-6 tries.  All equipment is EXACTLY where it was 5 years ago when there were no problems.  This is extremely frustrating, especially when I'm working.  Every time I call customer service, the wait/hold time is over 45 minutes - same as with talking with support on-line.  Can anyone help with this problem? 
    FYI - the connection is never lost on the desktop computer - just the laptop on WIFI.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hopefully you mean you have a rev I (letterr i) router.  This is the lastest model and supports gig e wired and wireless-n (2.4 only).
    You should consider WPA2 unless not all your devices support it.  Basic instructions on changing security are here http://www22.verizon.com/support/residential/internet/fiosinternet/networking/setup/security/125521....
    To logon to your router http://192.168.1.1 .  You will be asked for the routers id and password.  If you didn't change anything the router's id is 'admin' and the password is printed on the sticker on the router.  For the most recent routers its listed seperately, while older routers use the serial number of the router (in caps for serial number).
    The channel is listed and changed under wireless settings, basic security settings.  You may want to try changing channel to avoid other traffic.  Some people suggest trying 1, 6, and 11 in that order.

  • Fios Internet connection is very bad! Please help!

    Hello,
    I play an online game called Final Fantasy XIV.  I use a program called WTFast in order to have a solid gaming experience, one without or very little lag or disconnects.
    Recently, within the last 3-4months, I have noticed I get EXTREME lag and DISCONNECTS.  I contacted WTFast with a tracert that they analyzed, and here is their response:
    "Your internet connection is very bad. There is a "plateau" spike. This will cause WTFast to spike as well, and for such a long "spike" it is not surprising that the connection was dropped.
    The previous report showed a very unstable internet connection as well (the one where you got a 30 second freeze).
    Present the same reports you sent to us to your ISP (Verizon FIOS) and ask them to try to make their connection better. The report will help them see the quality of the current connection."
    Here is the information in the more readable form (except for the last four as I figured you would probably get the idea by then). Yes, 4 shows 100% packet loss, so the connection dropped then. Also, in 5 the standard deviation is high (16.35 ms) which indicates a huge fluctuation in the signal. The flux column also shows large numbers, which indicates a large variance in the signal speed. Finally, there are a lot of hops just within the ISP, ie rows 2-8, and all this data is for the ISP itself, not the WTFast connection. In fact, that connection is the last one, and there you can see good numbers. Hope this helps.

  • Macbook Fios Wireless Connection Issues

    Hi everyone. All of a sudden today my Macbook is having issues connecting to my Verizon Fios Wireless Internet. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem or is aware of any problems with compatibility or something. Any tips or advice? Thanks!

    Finally got an answer! Thanks to all the folks I talked to, one of them taught me a little trick that I wanted to share. What worked was renaming the router, then making the macbook connect to it as if it was a new network - it connected and stayed online. Then renaming the router back and connecting to it again as it were a new network and it connected and has stayed connected. Hope this works for anyone else having this issue!

  • Airport Express with Fios router connection issues

    I have an Airport Extreme I am using with a Fios router (with the Fios wireless deactivated).
    Prior to Fios, I used it with Comcast and never had the following issues:
    When accessing the web from any of my Macs after a period of sleep or other disuse, the browsers return a "not connected to the internet" message (this is after the machine has returned to service for a time-- not immediately after waking).
    Waiting a few more seconds and then trying again usually connects normally. Again, never did that with Comcast-- on and connected was on and connected.
    AppleTV is almost NEVER connected when I go to watch it after a period of disuse. Usually, all maner of resets/restarts are required to get everything talking. I have both an older white ATV as well as the newest black model.
    I should add that the Verizon tech knew next to nothing about Apple products when he came out. I ended up going on-line and reading all kinds of posts and arriving at my current configuration. Networking has always been a black hole in my Mac knowledge, so, rather than put all the blame on Verizon, I will say it's highly likely my set-up is not optimal.
    Does anyone know how best to set-up this combination? I don't really even know how to tell you how I set mine up to begin with!

    Unfortunately, if you have Fios, you really are forced into using their equipment and will have to configure the AirPort Extreme in Bridge Mode to work correctly with the Fios gateway.
    Check to verify if the AirPort Extreme is set to operate in Bridge Mode, which would be the correct configuration for your setup.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click the AirPort Extreme and then click Manual Setup
    Click the Internet icon at the top of the window
    The setting for Connection Sharing should be "Off (Bridge Mode)"
    Is that the case?

  • Laptop won't reconnect to home wireless FiOS connection after using Verizon Wireless connection

    I have a laptop that I've had connected to my home FiOS Internet connection without problems in the past. Now, when I leave the house and use my Verizon wireless stick to connect to the Internet and then return home the laptop no longer connects to the home wireless network. Any ideas? I've already:
    Rebooted the laptop
    Rebooted the router
    Viewed the settings for the laptop connection on the router info page
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    If your internet connection at home is working fine using a wired connection (using an ethernet cable) to the router and you're only having trouble connecting wirelessly, then I would recheck the network settings on your laptop:
    http://www22.verizon.com/support/residential/internet/fiosinternet/networking/setup/addwireless/1265...
    The important part of this process is ensuring that you're selecting the right network name (SSID) for your home residential wifi network and entering the corresponding encryption key.
    If you need additional help, please call Verizon's Technical Support department at 1-888- 553-1555.

  • Connecting  AirPort Extreme 802.11n directly to my Verizon FiOS service

    I want to connect my new AirPort Extreme 802.11n directly to my Verizon FiOS service. The ActionTec wireless router supplied by Verizon died, and I bought an AirPort Extreme as a replacement. When I configured the AirPort extreme, it would not connect to the internet. I have read some posts here that indicate I plug my AirPort Extreme into the ActionTec and I am OK, however the ActionTec is dead.
    Are there settings for the AirPort Extreme that are unique for going straight to the internet? What am I missing? My FiOS connection is an Ethernet connection- not coax.
    Here is the interesting thing- I have an old AirPort Extreme (the round cone shaped model) that I plugged into the Verizon FiOS Ethernet connection. Everything works fine- I have a wireless connection to the internet. I didn't set anything. So my assumption is that I can make the new AirPort Extreme work with the Verizon FiOS.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated, as I do not know if I have the strength to go through the Verizon help desk.

    Good news! My problem was solved by calling Verizon FiOS support. The service tech said an AEBS can connect straight to the FiOS Ethernet connection. He broke the "lease" on my connection, had me connect the cable from the wall to my WAN slot, and then he "leased" my network connection to my AEBS. Works like butter now.
    He said that the Verizon FiOS network "leases" the network connections every 24 hours or so, and had I left my AEBS connected to the network, it would have pushed the new setting down to the AEBS.
    Thanks for all of the input.

  • Does a wireless printer need to be on the TC network or can it remain on the FIOS router network

    I have a verizon FIOS router with one wireless network...connected to it are 3 laptops, 2 HP wireless printers and numerous things like TV's, wii and Apple TV...when I set up a new TC and use it as my router for my Macbook Pro will I be able to print to the printers if I leave them on the FIOS network?..I of course will have the TC connected to the FIOS router via a ethernet cable. Its a pain to reset up all the numerous devices to a new network. Since the TC is connected to the FIOS router is it safe to assume something connect to the TC is also connected to the FIOS wireless network??

    yes we got sidetracked into the extending thing..I don't want to do that I want to do what you mentioned latter..2 different networks I was planing on leaving my TV's, blueray, WII on the FIOS network but connect the laptops to the TC N network..and I'm now sure I'll have to set up the wireless printers on the TC network or the laptops wont see them..
    So I will do as you mentioned in another post and:
    Here is how to hook up your Time Capsule to the FIOS router:
    Connect an ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the FIOS router to the WAN (circle of dots icon) port on the Time Capsule.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility and click Continue to follow the guided setup to configure your Time Capsule.
    Page 1 will ask you to assign a name and device password for the Time Capsule
    Page 2 you want to choose the option to Create a wireless network
    Page 3 will ask you choose a name for the wireless network and a password
    Page 4 you want to select the Bridge Mode option
    Page 5 select Configure IPv4 using DHCP. Leave everything else blank
    Click Update to save your settings and the Time Capsule will restart in 25-30 seconds and you should have a green light.
    You can now log on to the Time Capsule wireless network by locating the name of the network and entering the wireless network password.
    It is possible that having two routers in close proximity both producing a wireless network may introduce wireless interference effects between the two networks. If you experience this, you will need to turn off the wireless on the FIOS router.

  • Considering dumping cable and switching to a FIOS bundle - I have several questions...

    I'm fed up with my local (Huntington Beach, CA) cable provider "improving my experience" by moving channels to their "digital lineup". As retribution, I'm seriously considering switching to a Verizon FIOS bundle (phone, internet, TV). I've some questions  (and will probably think of more) and am hoping some super-knowledgable guy or gal can answer them. Yes, I've searched the forum and found some guidance - but I want to be 100% sure before I part with my hard-earned/heavily-taxed money.
    1. Currently have coax (unknown type) feeding through the house to various locations. I've read conflicting statements on this: If the coax can handle it, can the FIOS be connected to this existing cabling? How does one determine this?
    2. TV 1 is a six-year old Sony (analog) WEGA - works great, not going to replace it - that has Twin View (essentially PnP) capability. The unit has many connection points, including DVI-HDTV IN port (looks like an HDMI). I assume that an STB will be required for this TV. Does the Verizon STB make use of this port?
    3. I undertsand that digital STB's decode one channel at a time, so my TV 1 PnP function goes away unless I connect another input to the AUX (an HDTV antenna and converter, a VCR to watch tapes, etc.) but, can I connect a second STB to that input and get my PnP back?
    4. TV 2 is a one-year old Vizio LCD with an HD tuner. I assume it does NOT need an STB?
    5. TV 2 also has PnP - useless unless I connect another input source (another STB?) to the unit, yes?
    6. Can I use my existing telephones and answering machine with the FIOS bundle?
    7. Can I use my existing switch/WAP/router(s) with the FIOS router? It isn't one of those modem/router combos, is it?
    8. Can a technician visit my home for a preliminary inspection so that I can address any routing/installation/technical issues beforehand?
    Thanks for being patient - I hesitate to call these questions in since I'm never sure if I'm getting the right answers. Forums are great; the community generally flags incorrect information and provides some sense of validation.

If it worked for your previous provider, it will more than likely work with FIOS... the Tech will eb able to determine definitivley once on site

Does the Verizon STB make use of this port?  Picture in picture does not work with the FIOS STBS, as there is only one "stream" out from the box... I am not aware of any verizon STBs that have a DVI port... you would need to use HDMI or COMPONENT for HD, and COAX or COMPOSITE for SD
    3. I undertsand that digital STB's decode one channel at a time, so my TV 1 PnP function goes away unless I connect another input to the AUX (an HDTV antenna and converter, a VCR to watch tapes, etc.) but, can I connect a second STB to that input and get my PnP back?.. in theory you could, but you will run into the issue where both STBs will get the signal from the remote.
    4. TV 2 is a one-year old Vizio LCD with an HD tuner. I assume it does NOT need an STB? if you want to watch channels other than LOCAL you will need an STB... there is sticky/FAQ topic about what and how you can get channels WITHOUT a BOX
    5. TV 2 also has PnP - useless unless I connect another input source (another STB?) to the unit, yes?same as above
    6. Can I use my existing telephones and answering machine with the FIOS bundle?yes
    7. Can I use my existing switch/WAP/router(s) with the FIOS router? It isn't one of those modem/router combos, is it?yes you can.. but do not expect much, if any, support from verizon, regarding your third party internal networking equipment... The router provided is strictly a router, though it is special, and needed for the FIOS TV, as far as the guide/VOD/widgets
    8. Can a technician visit my home for a preliminary inspection so that I can address any routing/installation/technical issues beforehand?I highly doubt that

  • Verizon FIOS Intermitte​nt Packet Loss Problem - How to Convince Verizon Support it's NOT ME

    Hi,
    I have been having a problem with Verizon FIOS Internet AND Phone since Thursday afternoon.
    Basically I have intermittent outages several times a day of 15-40 seconds where my download doesn't work, but upload still does. This happens on BOTH my phone and internet. Therefore it's not my router or computer equipment causing the problem.
    Here's what happens:
    - On the internet: I have a periodic download problem where I can receive no data for about 15 - 40 seconds. After that it returns to normal
    - On the phone: If I'm on the phone at the same time then during that period of internet loss I also can not hear anything that the person I am talking to says. However they can hear me just fine (ie. download only problem)
    I have been talking to Verizon technical support and they have blamed my router and ONT. I have tried switching off the router, and using a different one. Also they have replaced the ONT twice.
    * This problem occurs on BOTH the phone and internet at the same time. This clearly suggests the problem is not in my own house.
    In fact I know exactly where the problem lies. I did a traceroute to google below:

    Then I pinged each device for hops 2-4. When the problem occurs the first one in the hop - 74.105.157.1 - runs fine. The second device - 130.81.133.156 - times out, and all other devices further down the chain time out. This clearly suggest that the device:
    130.81.133.156 has major problems.
    I have mentioned this to tech support, but they have no way for me to send them logs. Apparently the support technicians at Verizon can not be trusted with even the most basic of tools like email and the web. They also shield me from the NT (Network technician), who is so special that even the tech support guys are only allowed to text chat with him, not actually talk to him. I have enough logs here to clearly show what the problem is.
    The latest from tech support is that they are sending yet another guy by my house tomorrow to witness this problem firsthand. Then he will call support that will text chat with the NT, and MAYBE they'll start thinking it's not me.
    My main question here is: "How do I get Verizon to believe it really could be a problem in their own network?"
    Here are some threads from last year that explain exactly the same problem I'm having. So it wasn't just me:

    One person said Verizon finally fixed it by replacing a PON card. I'm not sure if this is the same problem as that though.
    I am an avid Starcraft player and this is driving me crazy because I am getting dropped from my games all the time. Also phone conversations suck when there's these big lags where I can't hear who I'm talking to.
    I have had Verizon FIOS internet for 3 years now and this is the first problem I've ever had with it. But I'm starting to get majorly frustrated at how long it's taking to resolve the problem.
    Here is a sample of the ping logs I was talking about for different devices all at the same time.

    Any help, thoughts, suggestions, etc would be great appreciated!

    I understand your logic, but you have not eliminated 74.105.157.1 as the problem.  It could be allowing packets out, like outside callers hearing you, but not allow them back in. Since you have results pinging out, trying ping back in. Use this packet loss tool.  You do not need to catch it when it's not working because this tool will ping your IP address (and all the hops in between) for up to 7 days. You will easily see when packet loss is occurring.
    If it can successfully ping 74.105.157.1 when the problem occurrs, then 130.81.133.156 is not the issue. This may not help dealing with the personalities at Verizon, but it will help definitively knowing which device is the issue.

  • Problems re-connecting my PSP to Network, after updating to firmware 1.33NA on my D-Link DIR-655

    Hi everyone,
    Here is the 411 about my network
      Your Network Magic Version installed= : 5.5.9195.0-Pure0 
    The type of connection to the Internet, like DSL, Cable, or Verizon FIOS Internet Connection: = Comcast Cable 20K up / 5K down
    The Brand of Modem and its Model Number the router is connected to:   cable modem = ARRIS: TM602G/CT 
    The Brand, Model, Hardware Revision of your Router and include the Firmware Version:=   Router = D-LINK DIR-655 A3 Firmware (rev.1.33NA)
    The Method of connection your problem computer has to the Router: Wired or Wireless: Wireless
    The Connection in use on the problem computer: Wireless g/b/a on PSP
    Operating system and version and Service Pack Level, N/A      Also if any Anti-Virus Program or Spyware Program is actively protecting your computer.
    Include your location in the post or fill out your Profile for this forum and include the location. (Reason: Not all Routers from a given manufacturer are available everywhere.)    (Camden County)  Southern NJ, USA
    Post the link to your Router Model,  http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=530 
    And any other information you think is important if answering your own post, and the nature of the problem, itself.
    I have had a full functioning network with D-Link DIR655  hardware Rev A3 firmware rev 1.33NA,
    with 5 PC's Dell XPS 730x, Alienware m17x,  Studio 1747,Studio 1749(touchscreen) Studio, 14z all using Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit, and one Macbook Pro 17", Plus a Dell mini 9 hackintosh( I did purchase  Retail10.5.4  and I placed the Apple stickers over the Dell logo.[ also have a PS#, and PSP 3000 (both have latest Sony firmware updates.]
    All PC's with Win7 Pro x64,'s are connected using Network Magic Pro 5.5 pure-0, with the exception of the Macbook pro OS X 10.7 and hackintosh Mac X10.5.8  which both use the Mac version 4 network pro (Ver. for mac os x.) of which I bought a 3 pack, (To have them work with NWM 5.5 Pro, & share both files, and printers with the windows PC's)
    Everything was working great until I updated the firmware on my DIR-655 from 1.2NA to 1.33NA.
    Since then I have been unable to reconnect my PSP to the network. using  WPA 2 security, which is what I had before the firmware update. If it wasn't for the security additions, this firmware upgrade adds  to the router, I would have gone back to the previos version.
    Here is what I've done in attempts to fix, and then my final solution.
    In Network Magic 5.5, I have tried shutting off the network protection feature, and I also re-added the MAC Address, of the PSP to the Router's list of allowable hardware, when I added my list of all the others..
    The PSP will start the handshake with the router, and then pause at the getting IP address screen, and finally timeout.
    I is showing up on the Network Magic 5.5 Pro's Network Map area, which leads me to believe it is being seen and let in by the software's security feature.
    I also tried to manually add an IP address, for the PSP, using the IP addy, it always seems to grab via DHCP [192.168.7.172] only to have it timeout the same way as it did before, with DHCP
    As I needed Internet access to update the PSP and make purchases from the PSN, I decided to connect my older Linksys WRT54G (HW Ver 5) Ver.1.02.8 (I'm considering the DD-WRT firmware for all it's improvements) to the DIR-655 with a CAT 6 cable. Network magic see's this router, as I added it's MAC address to the D-Link MAC filter first.
    I was able to use WPA Security with this router and the PSP connected without any problem.
    I thought maybe something was wrong with the PSP-3000, but I'm able to connect to a friends Belkin router
    , using WPA 2
    I setup the WRT54G using the studio 14z, as it's the lightest of my portables, with windows on it.
    Should I add Network Magic 5.5 to the network that is my Router & PSP?
    [I have a older thinkpad, that runs Windows XP SP3, which has just been sitting around, and my NWM 5.5 
    license is for 8 PC's and 3 Macintosh Computers.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards in getting my network correctly secured once again,
    DakotaJoe

    I hate being the bearer of bad news, but from what I have read on the Forum and FAQ, you will need to un-install Network Magic from all of your computers making sure that no NM settings folders are left behind under users.  Then unplug all wired computers and rebuild your network by re-installing NM  in each computer before connecting it to your router.  After you have added all of your wired computers, set up your wireless network and install NM and add each wireless computer.
    That is a lot of work.  I hope this helps.
