Help trying to set up Linksys wirelwess router

Bought a linksys router, went through with linksys to setup then tried wireless connection and wouldn't work. It's saying connection is active but not able to connection to the internet? Linksys is saying to call Apple to configure....does anyone know what to do. Thanks i'm a new mac user

Hey,
Try this and see if anything changes:
Go to System Preferences> Assist Me> Diagnostics> and run through the diagnostics check. This usually fixes all my connection issues.

Manually trying to set up Linksys wireless router.

To make a long story short I hit something on my macbook so that whenever I put a new application into the system it never loads the cd with the right program. I am trying to manually connect my wireless router. I know the default address for most Linksys routers is 192.168.1.1 and the login in is Admin and password is Admin. I am on the internet connection and I do not know how to find my server address? Iam pretty lost in this process. Any help as to where to get the server address or what I could do to fix my mac so that when I load a cd it opens the right application...

Trying to set up linksys BEFW11S4 router to AT&T modem

I just got DSL on Monday and it works when connected directly to my computer. I tried to set up my router. Updated the Setup for Internet Connection Type to PPPoE and entered the User Name and Password. I also updated LAN IP Address to 192.168.2.1. When I go under Status, the LogIn now says Disable. I have no idea why it is saying this now. I didn't update anything else. Can someone help me?

It's a comman thing.On the old version routers when the Internet Connection is "PPPoE"...The Login Always shows as disable under status tab.It will only show you enable when the Internet Connection will be on "DHCP".

I'm trying to install a Linksys wireless router. Went through the installation software and all appears to be in order. Except that the message that I'm getting is that my router is not signed into my internet connection. Yet it is--I'm writing this aren't I?
The 4 green lights are on and I've reviewed the installation instructions. Any help?

You need to make sure that you have an active internet connection from your ISP (Internet Service Provider). What connection are you using, CABLE or DSL ?

Trying to Set Up Linksys Router

Hi, I have a Linksys router and used to have an IBM. I know have the PowerBook G4 and I am trying to set up the router in my house. The Linksys installed CD is not supported by Mac, nor their customer support. I need step-by-step instructions on how to set up the router in my home. Thank you.

I assume you are connecting to the internet through an ISP/DSL service. If so,
1. Connect your router to the modem, and then your Mac to the router via ethernet. I am not sure what the set up would be for Airport as I do not have Airport on my G5. This should work for an ethernet connection.
2. Open the Network preference pane Show Built in Ethernet. Then click on TCP/IP and configure for Using DHCP which basically sets your mac to automatically connect to the router/modem/internet.
3. the click on the Ethernet choice and Configure Automatically.
Now use your browser and set the address to 192.168.1.1 which is the address of the web page in the router. Check your documentation for the default password, etc. When you get to the basic set up page, you will have to enter your basic Internet Connection Type, your online user name and password, which you should know from your service provider.
Once those are set you should be able to connect. Be aware though that depending on your service provider, some of these settings made need to be different. I am on Earthlink with a Linksys WRT54G router and these settings work for me.
Hope this gives you a steer in the right direction. And by the way, when setting up with my PC laptop, had lots of problems. When working only with my Mac, it was almost plug and play to connect via the router/modem!

Trying to set up as a router - Changeing to 192.168.0.1

I had a linksys router connectd to my Verizon Fios interface - A wireless router - (that can pick up anything ) - but it died. Got a airport extreme Tried to configure it the same way as a Router handing out ip addresses starting with 192.168.0.1 Thus keeping all traffic comming through the router and not Verizons.
Can i check to see which computers are logged in Allow certain Mac Address and set up Static address for printers lpl ports.
I went through the set up Airport utilites and set up the 192.16/8.0.1 and designated address for the printer and linuxz server but How do i check the actual assigments?

Actually I’ve done this with great success.
I’ve never liked using ISP routers/modems/firewalls for my own network because most the time they lock them down in a way which keeps me from managing my own internal network.
My configuration is an AT&T modem/router then the Apple Router, here’s what I did:
1.)     AT&T Router/Modem:
Turn DHCP off
Turn Wireless off
Open ports YOU need internally to your network in which you require access from the outside. (Port Map).
2.)     Apple Router:
Instead of allowing your router to obtain DHCP from the outside like you would if it was hooked mainlined into a modem, make it static and enter in the IP subnet established by the AT&T router. Mine is something like 192.168.1.2, because 192.168.1.1 is the gateway in this particular setup.
Configuring port mapping and service ports in the Apple router.
Then setup DHCP or Static for your internal network.
NOTE: You’ll have to use two different IP schemes for your home/business NAT, meaning the AT&T to Apple router, in my case, is a 192.x.x.x NAT, but goes no further than this. The NAT in my network is 10.x.x.x. This minimizes confusion on the network part, but also keeps you ‘untangled’ when it comes to port mapping, address assignments, and other issues.
If your Verizon router/modem is wireless, you to turn that off and make the Apple router your wireless gateway.

Let me add this as well: You need to know that the Verizon router/modem you have has to be configured as a ‘dummy’ device. You’re just using it for the internet connection (TV’s if applicable) and nothing more. The Apple router will do everything the Verizon device can do and more.

"INVALID PASSWORD" when trying to connect to Linksys Wireless Router

MacBook would connect to neighbors unsecured network, as well as network at local restaurant, but would not connect to my WPA Personal protected network.
Here is what I finally did to gain access:
1-Obtained the mac address for all 3 wireless computers.
2-Accessed the router, then went to the wireless tab>wireless mac filter.
3-Enabled mac address filtering, then entered the mac addresses of the three computers.
4-Selected the option to only allow these mac addresses to access the router.
5-Turn off the wireless security. 6-change the wireless security setting on each computer to none. Even with broadcast ssid disabled, all were able to detect and connect to the router.
As I think I understand it....to access my router, you'd have to know the hidden (ssid broadcast disabled) network name, but since I am allowing access only to the mac addresses listed, you can't access my network....so this should be pretty secure.
I'm a network (and Mac) novice, so if I'm wrong, please correct me (nicely).

Found my problem....When connecting to your network, and you're asked for your password (WPA in my case), make sure you enter your WPA Shared Key, and not your Router password. I think I win the dumb mistake of the year award.

Set up linksys wireless router thru Clearwire????

Hello,
I have a WRT54G router and when I had comcast --- and ran the set up through the default ip address it worked. I have switched my modem to use Clearwire now - and I have internet when I'm plugged in through the cord - but I can't seem to get my wireless to work with the clearwire modem. I know it must be something in my configuration.
I have reset the wireless router and the internet flows through it perfectly when I use the cords - but the minute I disconnect the ethernet cord - nothing. I've restarted my computer, cycled the system. Nothing.
Any suggestions???

Telnet error when trying to connect to linksys wag120n router

typing in cmd "telnet 192.168.1.1" gives me this error "could not open connection to the host on port 23". I tried this same command on my old router and it worked just fine. so it has to be the router right? what settings should I change on my pc or router to fix this?

It is almost certainly an issue on the router and not on your PC. Since we do not know how the router is configured we can not know what you need to change. But my guess is that it is configured with a restriction that does not allow telnet from the subnet where your PC is located.

Help Needed to set up Wireless Modem/Router

Howdy all,
I have a new MacBook Pro connected to the internet via a BigPond supplied Speedtouch modem through ethernet cable. I have an Open Network 824RLW router/adsl modem that I would like to use for a wireless connection.
I just can't seem to get it to work. It says connected to wlan-app...
I read some of the discussions here and on whirlpool and there seems to be concerns about the extreme cards in the MBP.
Please can someone tell me what settings (Mac and Modem) I need to make to get the MBP to talk to the router/modem. I can get into the modem settings easily enough and think I have set it up correctly but don't have bigpond support to know exactly what needs to be done.
Thanks.

HT201320 Help trying to set up my wanadoo email account on my iPhone

Help! Not a clue how to set up my wanado email account on my iphone5

You have an email provider. This is not Thunderbird. You access the email account that you have with your provider on devices like phones and computers using an email client software. You setup the client software with the details for your provider like server names and ports. Your phone should have come with an email client software installed. Use that to check your email.
Thunderbird has nothing to do with checking your email on your phone.
You can always use your providers web mail account and log into that using a browser like Firefox or Chrome. Then there is no need for email client software.

[SOLVED] Help, trying to set up LVM

I am using the Wiki (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lvm#Partition_disks) on an existing install. Here are the drives and partitions currently:
40gb IDE
- 5gb = mysql database
- 35gb = mythrecordings
320gb SATA
- 10gb = /
- 15gb = /home
- 3gb = swap
- 280gb = mythrecordings
500gb SATA
- all one partition
1. This part at "Partition Disks" (link above) confuses me:
Next you need to create a partition for LVM. Its filesystem type should be 'Linux LVM', so use a partition id 0x8e (filesystem type: 8e).
I don't understand that part, looking in Gparted I don't see any option to format to a "8e" filesystem, same with cfdisk
2. It recommends to have boot on a partition outside of LVM, so would I leave one tiny partition on one of the disks and just put /boot in there?
Thanks very much for any help

Thanks Berticus!
I'm wondering too, it doesn't mention in the Wiki, but when I convert a partition with data on it to the LVM in cfdisk, will I lose the data (it formats)??
EDIT: Nevermind, saw that I must create new FS after I've partitionted to LVM

RV110W - trying to set up 2 VLANS - are there docs / help for this?

I am trying to set up an RV110W router with 2 VLANs - 1 for guests to the office to just have internet access via wireless and another for employees to be able to access the LAN and internet wirelessly. I have not done anything with VLANs before, so please bear with me.
I thought this would be simple, but banging my head against the wall with all the terms in the docs:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/csbr/rv110w/administration/guide/rv110w_admin.pdf
port 1 is connected to a wired LAN / unmanaged switch with office PCs. So these machines / nothing on this subnet tag the packets before they get to the router. This subnet is using 10.10.1.0/24
Port 2 is connected to an Engenius EAP 300, a wireless access point that can broadcast SSIDs and tie each SSID to a different VLAN.
SSID1 is called Private and is set to be VLAN 1. There's encryption on this SSID - only office staff would be able to log on.
SSID2 is called public and is set to be VLAN 10. There's no encryption on this SSID.
I know - the router also does this, but where the router is vs. where the wireless is needed, we need to have the Engenius at that remote location.
I have the RV110W set to give out 10.10.1.0/24 IPs when you connect to the SSID1 / VLAN1
And it gives out 10.10.10.0/24 IPs when you connect to the public SSID / VLAN10.
Both get on the internet fine. The only issue is how to set the VLAN membership for each port / and any other settings so that the wireless devices on VLAN 1 can get to the LAN devices on Port 1. (and the public / vlan 10 devices on the wireless network to NOT get to the devices on port 1, but i think that's working.
I played with tagged / untagged / excluded, for the port membership, but either the wireless VLAN 1 devices get blocked from even the web (when port 2 is set to untagged, since they ARE tagged VLAN1) or they can't get to port 1 when set to tagged, since the port 1 devices are all untagged and the reply packets get blocked?
the doc for this unit talks about inter-vlan routing but doesn't explain what that is. THe wireless isolation should be turned on for vlan 10, right? We don't want guests to be able to access other guest's machines?
I saw on page 71 on how to set up the guest network, but that's using the wireless built into the box, not a wireless access point.
Overall, what I want is:
VLAN 1: port 2 (with tagged VLAN1 packets) and port 1 (with untagged packets) can pass data between each other and access the internet
VLAN10: port 2 with tagged VLAN10 packets can only get to the internet.
Is that doable?
How?

thanks. Still not working
For the vlan membership page
when set like this:
           port1         port 2
vlan1     untagged    untagged
vlan10 excluded     tagged
connecting to the vlan1 wireless SSID on port 2, I can't even get an IP address from the router (the dhcp request can't even come through port 2 because it's saying vlan1 packets have to be untagged?
connecting to the vlan 10 wireless SSID on port 2 gets a DHCP address and can only get to the web, so that's good.
If I change the membership to:
                  port1 port 2
vlan1 untagged tagged
vlan10 excluded tagged
connecting to both SSIDs on port 2 will get you a dhcp address, and vlan1 devices can get into port 1, but trying to admin the wireless access device on port 2 or even pinging it, now fails - 'cause the router gatekeeper says if you want to come through port 2, your packets have to be tagged? and the packets from port 1 to port 2 are untagged?
If I change the membership to:
            port1 port 2
vlan1   tagged tagged
vlan10 excluded tagged
connecting to both SSIDs on port 2 will get you a dhcp address, but replies from the wired PC on port 1 / vlan1 vlan1 can't get back out of port 1 'cause the router gatekeeper says if you want to leave through port 1, your packets have to be tagged? and the ping reply is coming form a device with untagged packets? although the devices on vlan1 / port 1 CAN get on the web with their untagged packets.
the wireless device says it supports 802.1q
http://www.engeniustech.com/resources/EAP300_DataSheet_v2.1.pdf
when they say port 2 / vlan 1 tagged, is it saying packets coming in FROM devices on that port have to be tagged? Or packets going TO devices on that port have to be tagged? or both directions?
Any advice?

How do I connect my laptop to my Linksys wireless router through the internal wireless card?

I just purchased a gateway laptop and was trying to hook my Linksys wireless router up to it. Ive gotten it hooked up but only through the secondary device (that catches the signal)... I was wondering if there is anyway that I could make my internal wireless internet card a point or no? Can I only connect it to the USB network adapter or is there really a way to go COMPLETELY wireless? Thank you for your time...

Is your internal wireless card enabled? Go to device manager and make sure it is enabled.
