Going from wired BEFSR41to wireless WRT54G, won't connect

I am trying to install a new wireless router (WRT54G) and removing my existing wired router (BEFSR41). However, I have followed the connection instructions and it does not recognize the router (not connected).
Also, I have Vonage VOIP router (RTP300-VD) and I tried to connect the network without connecting this router.
What's the proper way of replacing this wired router to wireless?
Please advise. Thanks.

HI,
can you post a few more details , such as which is your main router that's hooked direct to the modem ? and also the IP of the VOIP router.

WRT300N has no access from wired to wireless addresses

I have a WRT300N that I used just for wireless access till now. If I connect two devices to wired ports they can see each other. All of the devices connected wireless can see each other and access the internet. Communication from wired to wireless doesn't work. I can't ping a wireless device from a wired one or vice versa. Firmware is latest as of 1/9/08. Settings are factory default other than turning on WEP. Any ideas?

Try the following test: Connect a computer by wire to the WRT300N. Verify that you can get a working Intenet connection. In the computer, turn off any software firewall, including Windows Firewall.
1) Can you get a properly working Internet connection?
2) Can you ping 192.168.1.1 ?
If you cannot ping 192.168.1.1 then perhaps this is not your router's address. Go to "Start" > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
A black DOS box will appear. Type in "ipconfig" (with no quotes), then hit the Enter key. Look at the "Default Gateway". Is it 192.168.1.1 ? Try to ping the "Default Gateway" address.
3) What is listed as the "Default Gateway" address?
4) Can you ping the "Default Gateway" address?
If you still have problems, maybe you have not gotten your software firewall completely turned off. Some firewalls are hard to turn off.
If you are using Zone Alarm, right click on the ZA icon in the system tray (lower right corner of screen) and then click "Shutdown ZoneAlarm", and see if this fixes your problem. If this does not work, try the following with Zone Alarm: Open the ZAISS control center, go to Privacy, then temporarily turn off Ad Blocking and Cookie Control, and see if that fixes your problem.
If you are using Noton Internet Security with the Add-on Pack, be sure to turn off the Pop-up Blocker. Some users have reported that they needed to uninstall the entire Norton Add-on Pack.

Outlook 2010 disconnects when switching from wired to wireless

A Windows 7 Pro 64bit laptop with Outlook 2010 keeps disconnecting from the exchange when switching from wired to wireless or vice versa. Then it wont reconnect. Restarting Outlook occasionaly works, not all the time.
Holding CTRL and clicking the Outlook symbol in the notifcation area they connection status and reconnect doesn't work either.
The only way it will reconnect apart from restarting the machine is to restart the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service on our Exchange server.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

My Apple wireless keyboard won't connect to my Mac mini any more.

My Apple wireless keyboard won't connect to my Mac mini any more. Going through the Bluetooth Setup Assistant doesn't help - the computer finds the keyboard, but when I type in the pass code it fails to pair with it. The green LED on the bottom of the keyboard flashes twice at roughly two-second intervals. I've tried replacing the batteries and this has had no effect. I have all the latest software updates installed.

Welcome Cheirhandrea!
There are easily hundreds of variants of the iMac dating back to 1998. Many of the pre-2006 iMacs this forum covers cannot support an Apple wireles keyboard. Because this model has been in production for so long, it is important for you to let us know as much about your computer as possible so someone won't give you information that may not be appropriate to your iMac variant.
So we need to know:
1) Your processor type and Mac OSX version, both available by doing "About this Mac" from your Apple menu at the left end of the menu bar:
2) The make and model of the keyboard.
I asked for your Mac OS version because "iOS" as currently shown in your equipment profile cannot run on any Mac computer, only Apple's mobile devices. Once you get the OS version from "About this Mac," please change your profile to avoid further confusion and get help faster without the delay of someone having to ask for clarification before they can start helping.

I have a modem, and a separate (hard wired from modem) router in a part of my house that gets poor reception from the modem.My iPad won't connect to the auxillary router like my laptop does with ease. How do I get the iPad to connect? It does see the router in my wi-fi connections list - just won't connect. !

I've had a similar problem. On my first boot up after installing 10.7.4, Firefox would not open. Crashed every time. Safari was not affected. I have no idea if it was related to the flash plugin, but I did install a the latest version of that a couple of weeks ago.
Here's what fixed it: a second boot up.

Impossible, there are zero, as in none, zip, nadda viruses for OS X. If you have viruses on it they are for MS Windows and will not affect OS X. I suspect the hard disk has crashed, if you have backup then it's not a big deal to have it changed, just take it into your local Apple Store or AASP for service. If you have not been backing it up you may be in for a painful lesson on why backup is critical.

WRT54GS won't connect (oddly enough, it gets info correctly)

Here's a strange situation: I have a three-year-old WRT54GS that was re-flashed to the latest Linksys firmware due to issues with DD-WRT; however, no clients (wired OR wireless) can connect to the Internet via this router. It gets the settings from the cable modem (Motorola SB-5120 with Comcast HSI as the provider), and the clients can connect to the router itself (and see the router) without issues; however, the router's clients have no Internet connectivity.
Have I managed to *semi-brick* the router?
There are two PCs - one wired (Vista) and one wireless (XP with SP3); both have the same issues, wired or wireless. (I've even tried swapping the wireless NIC (USB) to the Vista PC; no such luck that way. Also, connecting the XP laptop via a wired connection via the router is fruitless.)
I'll be making one last attempt to re-flash via DD-WRT before giving up as a bad bet; however, I will be following this thread, as I don't want to have to buy another router because I managed to brick this one in an odd fashion.

UPDATE: Re-flashing with DD-WRT (V.24 vice V.24SP1) fixed the problem (the router is now allowing connections via both wired and wireless); however, I have two other (unrelated) issues (both wireless):
1. There are other wireless devices/EMI devices (specifically, both a pair of 2.4 GHz coreless phones and a microwave oven) in the room where the laptop is usually used (yes; it's usually used in the kitchen!), therefore finding a solid wireless channel is a priority. Lower channels (the router is set currently to use channel 2) have less of an issue with the phones; however, router connectivity is an issue. Higher channels (11 or 12) have better router connectivity, but they tend to drop connection whenever the phone is answered (not good at all). Channel 6 is a popular channel for wireless devices in the area (therefore, it's usually one to avoid, even when all the networks are secured with WPA or better, as is mine).
2. While both wireless USB adapter and router (with DD-WRT) both support WPA2; they will not connect reliably with it (WPA, however, works fine). The wireless laptop is running XP with SP3; is there a specific patch to let XP use WPA2?

WRT54GS won't connect my static IP computer to internet

My goal is to get completely connected to a torrent site. Their instructions were to configure a static address for my computer, forward a port and life will be good.
My current setup is my computer is wired to a WRT54GS which in turn is wired to an Actiontec GT701-WG DSL modem. There is one other computer wired to the Linksys and a third computer connected wireless.
I tried connecting my computer directly to the Actiontec and I was completely connected which increased my up load speed about 4X (20-25 kB/s to over 100) when seeding. Downside was it left the other two computers without a connection as there is only one out port on the modem.
It seems the Linksys is choaking my connection. I found some great tutorials on this site; I followed one and went in the computer and made its address static by assigning it an address outside the dynamic range used by the Linksys. The tutorial ended with SAVE and EXIT. I did and then I couldn't connect to the internet. I did the power on procedure of the modem, Linksys, and computer three times and nothing improved. I had to switch back to an automatic address for the computer in order to connect again.
Is there something I should have done to the Linksys after I made my computer static? If the computer is outside the range assigned by the router how can it see the computer?
I've been working on this for at least six hours with zero success. I would really appreciate it if someone would tell me how to get connected. Maybe there is another tutorial I could work through, just point me. Thanks.
Dirk

Well in such case the only option i can suggest is that to check the firmware on the router .... If it seems older download it from linksys website .... see if it works ...

WRT54GS won't connect to internet

I've turned WEP security on and off with no success. My computer can connect to Road Runner when the cable is not going through the WRT54GS. The connection is excellent on all my devices, just no internet. I'm thinking there's one tiny setting I'm not thinking of enabling but I'm out of ideas at the moment. If you need more info from me let me know. Thanks...

any wired connection that is going to the internet?

WRT54G won't connect to the Internet

I'm hooking up a new router, a WRT54G, version 6. During setup, it won't let me connect to the Internet. I get to the part where I change the admin password, and each time I try to connect, I get a message that tells me that my cable/dsl router won't connect to the internet, to unplug and try it again. I do that, but it never works.
Thanks in advance!

Wireless NIC won't connect at N - stuck at 54mbps

I have an Acer Aspire, V3-771
The wireless card is an Atheros AR5BWB22
My router is broadcasting at 300MBPS (802.11 N) yet my connection is stuck at 54 MBPS. I have had problems with this NIC since the first time I started this laptop, it frequently won't connect to trusted networks and then after 5-10 minutes it will eventually connect. But now I am stuck and before I go out and buy an adapter that supports N or just change the internal network card I was wondering if anyone knows how I can possibly fix this?
If I go to network and sharing center then click on status of my connection it says connected at 54mbps. If I go to "Network settings">"Advanced options" it says under properties: SSID: myssid, Protocol: 802.11n
So if I am connected at N, why is the connection still only 54mbps? Any fix for this? I did go in to my router and make sure that it's broadcasting at 300mbps yet I am not getting anywhere near that... even 150mbps would be better. What gives? Is it the card? Thanks in advance!

Maybe this makes no sense to you but try to disable IPv6, both on yout NIC and on your router. Reboot both devices and report here what happend.

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:
