HP wizard says he's not protected using a Linksys router

Please help: I just bought a HP laptop and when I was setting it up it asked me what kind of router do i plan on using. I clicked on the Linksys tab at the very bottom of their list and I was told that with a Linksys router I wouldnt be protected. Huh? All the other brands were "protected". Do I need another brand of router now? Should I go ahead and connect anyway? I bought this router more than 90 days ago :-(

Hi. Not exactly sure what that HP software meant. Are you trying to connect wirelessly?
I've had my WRT160N router for quite some time and I haven't been under any threat from outside my network/internet.
You can go ahead and connect.

    How can I activate an old version of Photoshop that I've loaded on my new tablet? The web activation doesn't work, and when I call the number, it says it's not being used anymore. Meanwhile, I'm down to 13 days till it stops working due to not being activated. HELP?  I really need to continue using this product for my home business.It works fine not activated but the threat is that it will stop working in 13 more days if I don't get it activated, and none of the activation methods they list seem to work.

  • Moved iTunes library to an ext hard drive to make space on my int drive... Followed steps from apple.  Now I cannot access my music... It says: "File could not be used because the original file cannot be found.  Would you like to locate it?"

    Moved iTunes library to an ext hard drive to make space on my int drive... Followed steps from apple.  Now I cannot access my music... It says: "File could not be used because the original file cannot be found.  Would you like to locate it?"
    I moved my iTunes library to my external hard drive some time ago and I followed the directions listed here on the apple support page.  It did copy my library and now is on my hard drive... I can open iTunes and use it to sync all of my devices but I would like to play my music... I can see all of my music files but can not play them if I click on an album or song it says the following:  "(file name) could not be used because the original file cannot be found.  Would you like to locate it?"  I click locate but do not know where to go from there?  I need a way to access all files and not to hunt down one at a time on my hard drive... I am pretty sure I deleted the original library to make space on my internal drive which was the reason for moving it.  I have tried and tried to fix it and do not have a lot of time to do so with a one and two year old at my house who do not like it whenI sit down at my computer.  What to do???  Any help is much appreciated!!!

    See Make a split library portable. Move all of the bits of the library together in the the correct shape and it should work. Or undo exactly what you did and then start over.
    If you're a former Windows user don't try merging two folders together that have the same name by dropping one into the same folders as the other, as that goes badly on a Mac.

  • I have firefox 10.0.2 installed but everytime I open up firefox I get a message that says I am not currently using this version and I need to update to the latest version and why won't firefox support printing mac coupons

    my firefox info shows that I am using 10.0.2 but I keep getting a repeated message when I open it saying I'm not using the most recent version.
    Even tho the mac coupon printer says firefox supports this install it doesn't allow me to print it.

    Hi cleopt,
    You may see that message below the Google search box on www.google.com/firefox which is the old Firefox default home page. That page is no longer being maintained by Google.
    You should try changing your home page to:
    about:home
    If you don't know how to change the home page, you should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]].
    Hopefully this helps

  • Unable to connect laptop using wireless Linksys router SES 36576

    I have a Linksys wireless router (SES 36576) and a new HP laptop (Vista OS). Using my old laptop running XP, I was able to connect wirelessly. Linksys indicates that my signal is EXCELLENT; however, when I input the security key and it searches for the connection, it just flat-out will not connect. I don't know where to start because I've never had this problem before. Is my router compatible??
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi, the number you have for your router does not match any model number for a Linksys router.  Wireless routers from linksys normally have their model numbers start with WBR
    My Cisco Network Magic Configuration:
    Router: D-Link WBR-2310 A1 FW:1.04, connected to Comcast High Speed Internet
    Desktop, iMac: NM is on the Windows Partition, using Boot camp to access Windows, Windows 7 Pro 32-bit RTM, Broadcom Wireless N Card, McAfee Personal Firewall 2009,
    Mac Partition of the iMac is using Mac OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard
    Laptop: Windows XP Pro SP3, Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG, McAfee Personal Firewall 2008
    Please note that though I am a beta tester for Network Magic, I am not a employee of Linksys/Cisco and am volunteering my time here to help other NM users.

  • Problem saying song could not be used because original file not found

    Hi,
    I updated itunes to 10.1.1 over the weekend and now my libray has massive problems. Most of my older music has an exclamation mark next to it and when I try and play it, it says "Song cannot be used because orginal file could not be found".
    I have tried to reload the content but the same problem persists, this is really annoying to say the least. What can I do.
    Thanks

     
    Solution may be found if you search in the "More Like This" section over in the right column. 

  • I'm getting an error message saying "file could not be used because the original file cannot be found. Would you like to locate it?" What gives?

    I've updated iTunes as recommended (and when recommended) but made no other changes to my computer or files. Why are the files gone?

    I was not complete clear.
    Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section.  If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
    If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
    But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
    In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.

  • Unablr to connect when using the Linksys router

    I'm using the WRT54Gx2, version 2 router and have configured it per the directions and with a computer directly connected and logged into the router it connects to SBCglobal just fine.  When I try to connect to the internet with the computer (not a wireless connection) it will not connect.  I'm using a new computer running vista - if that makes a difference.  I also tried connecting using another computer running xp and it will not connect.
    Any suggestions?

    If it's a speedstream or westell modem, you'll need to change the router's address. Do you need to click an SBC icon or enter a username/password to get online on the modem or is it automatic?
    The box said windows xp or better... So I installed Linux!

  • Has anyone enabled time machine using a linksys router and external hard drive? And if so how?

    Has anyone enabled time machine using a link sys router and external hard drive? And if so how?  I have a Linksys E4200 wireless router with a usb port on it.  I also have a Western Digital Elements 1TB external hard drive.  I would like to be able to use this hard drive with time machine.  Has anyone done so and if so how can I do so?

    You might get some responses, but we don't see many Linksys users on an Apple forum so it may be awhile before you see an answer.
    It might be useful to point out that Apple does not even support Time Machine backups to the USB port on their own AirPort Extreme wireless router, so we may be heading down a very slippery slope here.
    I've tried Time Machine backups on an AirPort Extreme router a number of times in the past. It's just not reliable. Works for awhile, then has corruption problems. Or has corruption issues immediately. I once went a month or so and thought I had it nailed, then got smacked with a corrupted set of backups again.
    But, I guess you never know. It might work on the Linksys. If you decide to try this, I would suggest that you have another backup plan in place for your important data.
    Hope that some Linksys users will respond so we can all learn.

  • Using WRT54G Linksys Router

    OK, I'm new to the wireless world, so bare with me. I'm trying to get my MBP to communicate with the router. It says "Airport Utility was unable to find any airport station."
    Any suggestions?

    Airport Utility will only work with an Aiport Base Station.
    You just need to set up the network manually.
    Asssuming the Linksys has been set up, and you have a network name and a network password, go to System Preferences/Network/Airport/ Click the + and enter the name and password of the network.
    Then on the toolbar at the top, click the Airport icon (fan) and turn Airport Off and the turn it back on. It should find the network. If not, select it from the ones available or click "other" and enter the details again.
    Best of luck.

  • My facetime will not operate with my linksys router.

    Any help would be  very appreciated. I have checked to make sure my wi fi is on, that my facetime is on. However, at my house, there is no "upside down pizza" icon showing. It shows at other places however. On my settings, it says that I am connected to "linksys" and has a check by the name. But I simply  am not getting a wifi connection for some reason. Any suggestions would be soooo appreciated! Thanks,.

    I'm also getting the same problem with my iPad.  what I do is i reset the iPad (turn it off then turn it on again) then voila.... i"m online.
