I can't see my own linksys router

I installed a linksys router for a friend, I can connect to it with my iphone, and my laptop. He can not even see it in the list of wifi signals. He can however connect to the neighbors device but not his own. I have been working on this for several weeks now. I can pull up in the driveway and my phone connects ASAP. My laptop connects, yet he can not and he doesn't even see the router listed as a device. But he can connect to his neighbors router, so I no it's not his laptop...

  • PS Vita + Skype - can't see my own video

    Hi @ll,
    I have installed the 1.50 Skype app on my PS Vita. Now I have made a Skype video call to another PS Vita and I can't see my own picture/video in the upper right corner. The camera seems to work, because the other person can see me. It doesn't matter, if I use the front or the back camera. The other person have the same client version.
    Is there a option, where I can switch on this picture? Or is this a well-known bug?
    Thanks for all your help!

    I'm also having the same problem. I have to keep asking the person I'm calling if my camera is working properly this is really inconvenient. it needs fixing please and thank you!

  • Can't see a network (Netgear router) I know exists

    I've in the process of relocating and am in temporary accomodation without broadband, but have been lucky enough to get to know my neighbour who is running a wireless network next door on a Netgear router (not sure which model) and has offerred to let me connect via that.
    However, now that I'm home and trying to do so I can't see the network. I'd guess that the router is only about 50 feet away through a couple of walls, so I wouldn't have thought that would be a problem. There is also supposed to be another wireless network running in the building, but I can not see that one either.
    Before I moved I used a Netgear DG834G wireless router myself with my Airport Extreme-enabled Pwerbook, and I can't remember having trouble seeing the netwrok when setting that up (though it was a couple of years ago so memory may be fuzzy).
    Does anyone know how I can scan for non-Airport Base Station networks?
    Or do I just need to go back to my neighbour and get the IP Address to configure manually?

    If your neighbor's wireless router isn't visible to your Mac, getting and IP address and configuring manually won't get you connected. Two things I suggest you do:
    1. verify with your neighbor that his router is not configured with "SSID broadcast disabled", thus rendering his router invisible
    2. see if your Powerbook gets a signal when located in your neighbor's apartment. Fifty feet and a couple of wall could indeed be beyond usable range.

  • Can't see my own sampler instruments or presets in 64 bit version.

    If I load up 9.0.0, I can see all my own presets and sampler instruments. But they are not showing up in 9.1.
    I have searched and seem to be the only one with this?
    anyone else?
    Keefy

    I was using Logic 9.0.2 before I upgraded to 9.1. After installing the update it has left me with 2 versions. I now have 9.1.1. which is called Logic Pro, and I also have another Logic which was automatically created and labeled Logic 9.0.0. I have checked and it is 9.0.0. (1660.11).
    The problem that I have is with the 9.1.1. not seeing my presets and sampler instruments. Not in 64bit mode or 32bit mode.
    ** Just managed to sort it!
    All of my Sampler Instruments/Samples are on a separate drive and are aliased. It looks like the 9.1.1. version looks in the Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support for the Logic Folder with all the settings. So I have aliased all individual folders (ie Bass, Piano, Synth) as apposed to the sampler Inst folder and it works!
    I take it that it no longer references to the home (user/libary/application support/Logic) for Insts & Plug in settings.
    Phew!
    Okay, cheers all and back to work I go ! ! ! !

  • Can't see my own Airport - can connect to other networks. Basestation works

    Until recently my Airport Express worked fine (and had done so for a year or so). But a couple of months ago I started having problems connecting to it, and finally a month ago my Powerbook couldn't see the basestation at all. I could still see the other networks in my area, and connect to these (including some airport express networks), so I reasoned that my Airport Express was dead and had it exchanged for a new one...
    BUT when I brought my new basestation home i STILL couldn't see it from my powerbook (even if I placed it 3 ft away). To double check I tried it at a friends house (with his PC), and he could see the basestation just fine...
    So my question is this:
    If I can see (and connect to) other networks than my own airport base, and another computer can connect to my airport, and my ADSL works fine with a cable - where is the problem? I really have no idea where to start looking...
    please help me, this is frustrating...!
    thanks, Lars

    Back again, more frustrated than ever...
    I had my friend come over, and with his PC and my Powerbook 10 inches apart, both situated less than 10 feet from the basestation, we can see exactly the same wireless networks - EXCEPT my very own basestation, which only my freind can see (on my friend's computer it's named "Apple Network edc585")!!!!
    This leads me to think that somewhere in some program on my computer there's something blocking my access to my Airport... The only thing I did recently which has to do with the internet is that I installed an Apacheserver, but this didn't have immediate effect on my airport - so I can't think why it should have now...
    Where can I go? Is there something I can uninstall and reinstall? Should I trash the Airport-assistant and reinstall from my airport-cd?
    Help pls...

  • Can't see my own wifi only in MacBook Pro..

    Sorry for bad English....
    Since now I could see and connect my pro with the wifi but one day suddenly I could not find my wifi in the list...
    So I restarted my pro, modem and router but nothing happened....
    But I can see other networks on the list....
    And on my iPhone and iPod touch I can see and use my wifi...
    Now I can't find any way to do it...
    Your suggestions will be very appreciated....
    Thank you.

    The issue is that you are unable to see your WiFi SSID when you click on the wireless icon at the top right of the screen?
    Have you tried going down to 'Join Other Network' and entering in your network name and password? Just because it doesn't show up in the list doesn't mean that your wireless card is not detecting it. It should go to the top after you do this.

  • How can I see my own phone number on the new iphone 3G

    I recently purchased an iphone 3G and cannot seem to get my own phone number to appear at the top of the contacts page (above the "A" contacts. The apple store people tell me that it should have shown up there but it hasn't. Can anyone help me? thanks,

    Then that's a software or activation bug. Restoring the phone via iTunes might help.
    In the days of the original iPhone launch, there were a few issues like this that could also be resolved by calling your phone service provider (AT&T in the US) and having them reset your account in their system -- followed by power cycling the iPhone.

  • Can't video chat on Linksys Router HELP!!

    Hello,
    I use video chat to communicate with a business partner in Florida and for a while now I've been getting errors when we try to video chat or audio chat. Regular chat and file transfer works fine. I'm on a Macbook Air and connect wirelessly to a Linksys WRT54G v8 Router that is connected to a cable internet service. I've called Linksys support and they made me reset and go over ALL of the settings and open ports etc BUT NOTHING!!!!! It's very annoying since I need ichat to video and screen share sine we work on projects together sometimes. PLEASE HELP!!! Thank you.

    Hi
    First have you set the Quicktime streaming setting, goto sys prefs/quicktime/streaming/streaming speed, set to 1.5mbps
    In ichats prefs click on video and change bandwidth limit to 500.
    Restart iChat.

  • Can't see my own airport network

    Hi,
    My iPhone does not find my own airport expres N (only 5ghz). I do not have a hidden network name nor use a MAC adres blokking but WPA2 security. If I try to connect to a hidden network (because the iPhone does not find mine) I get the message that te iPhone is not able to find it.
    Both our Macbooks work fine. COuld it be that I only use 5ghz on the airport express?

    The iPhone does not support wireless N, only the older wireless G. If you have your Airport setup to only transmit/only for Wirless N connections that your iPhone will not be able to connect:
    Options:
    1) Setup your wireless network at home to allow N and G connections
    2) Piggyback your iPhone onto a Neighbors Wireless G connection (more feasible in an apartment complex or townhome setting).

  • My microsoft mn-710 can't see my linksys router

    my wireless adapter can see other routers in the neighborhood but can't see my own which is a few feet away from my computer... the strange thing is my mn-510 can see and connect with my router well i want to upgrade so i can get more mbps if any of yall can help me it would be appreciated

    Well logon to www.linksys.com/download & follow the steps properly for selecting the router model number & version number correctly in order to select the proper device & download or rather save the file on the desktop please.
    Open the setup page of the router using 192.168.1.1 by keeping the username blank & typing the password as admin & over there click the Status tab & click the sub-tab as firmware upgrade & browse it from the desktop & click upgrade & then try resetting the router reset button in such a way that power  light is blinking on the router & then do a complete network power  cycle i.e., unplug the power cables from the modem & from the router &  then plug in the power cable to the modem first once all the lights are  solid green you could plug in the power cable to the router & check out  it will definately work!!

  • Trouble Connecting Airport Express to Linksys Router

    I am running a Windows XP SP2 Dell that is connected via Ethernet to a Linksys router. That router goes to a DSL modem and a Linksys WAP. I connected the AX via Ethernet to the router and then plugged it in. Initially got the green light and the router actually appeared to recognize it for a few seconds. I then tried setting up the AX using the Airport Setup Wizard, but it never saw the connection. Now the AX is flashing Amber.
    I've taken the firewall off and I can't see anything with the router software either. Any clues on how or what I need to do? Thanks.

    Are you using WEP? If so, you may have an issue with the WEP key format. Take a look at this article, it helped me:
    http://tinyurl.com/s58m
    This is especially important if the firmware you have installed on the AirPort Express is old. I believe the latest version of the firmware fixes this issue.
    Bottom line, if you're using WEP and you have a hex-formatted key on your network, then (with older firmware) you may need to precede the WEP key with a "$" to tell the AirPort Express you're giving it a hex string and not an ASCII string.
    Good luck,

  • Verizon DSL, Westell 6100 Modem and Linksys router

    If anyone is having a hard time getting these three to work together to get on-line, I know your pain. I've spent the better part of two days trying to get these devices to talk to each other. After hours spent trying different combinations and little to no help from Verizon and Linksys I have finally gotten my DSL up and running through my Linksys router. I post this in hopes that someone doesn't spin their wheels like I have been doing over the past few days. Here's what I did to get them to work:
    1. Reset both the Linksys router and the Westell modem
    2. Unplug the router and the modem
    3. Connect an ethernet cable from your Apple to the Westell modem and power it back on
    4. Type 192.168.1.1 in the address bar of your browser of choice. The username should be "admin" (w/o the quotes) and password should be "password" (again no quotes)
    5. It will ask you to update your username and password
    6. Under the CONFIGURATION heading select VC CONFIGURATION and click on EDIT
    7. Make sure that both PROTOCOL and MODE are set to BRIDGE
    8. Click on SET VC and then click OK when asked if you want to reset for new configuration to take affect
    9. Once again power off the modem for about a minute then power it back up
    10. Login again with the login you created above and go to the STATUS/ABOUT column and write down the MAC address
    11. Set it to DHCP OFF and change the Private Lan Modem IP to 192.168.2.1. Write this down and keep it so you can access your modem in the future.
    12. Save the settings. You will lose communication with the Westell at this point. Once again, power down the modem for about a minute.
    13. Connect the ethernet cable from the modem into the Internet port on the Linksys router and then connect your Apple to the first ethernet spot
    14. Turn on both the Linksys router and the Westell modem
    15. With your browser (Safari or Firefox) type in 192.168.1.1. Under SETUP go to MAC ADDRESS CLONE and enter the MAC address you wrote down for your Westell modem earlier and then save the settings
    16. Make sure you are in DHCP mode and not PPPoE
    17. Save, exit, and you should be on-line
    That was a lot more difficult than it had to be. I certainly didn't get this from the support folks from Linksys or Verizon...a lot of trial and error and investigating on-line. I hope this saves you from the headaches I experienced.

    Feedback for Linksys:
    In the Linksys Help system "Easy Answers" there's the question "How can I set up a Linksys router with DSL Internet?" This is what I used to try and solve my Internet connection problem.
    The Answer says "Most DSL providers use Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) ..." and goes on to explain how to set up the router for PPPoE. However, my service (AT&T/Yahoo high speed internet) uses DHCP. That meant I spent several frustrating hours trying to get it to work with PPPoE.
    The Answer would have been better if it first explained how to tell if you have PPPoE or DHCP (see the reply from vness above, it's an excellent explanation), and then linked to the appropriate setup instructions.
    Thanks for the help!!!!

  • Best configuration for a LinkSys Router

    I've had the best wifi signal using a new LinkSys E3000 router, but it's varied depending on the band/channel. Can anyone else with a LinkSys router recommend settings that work best with an iPad?
    Here's mine:
    LinkSys E3000
    5GHz
    N-only
    20MHz channels
    Static IP, using DHCP reservation
    36-48 channels
    SSID broadcast enabled

    Let me know the distance between wrt54gs router and the access point...
    If the distance is 60 to 70 feet you may try this...Though AP Client will only work with another WAP54G you may still try this...This set up will not work if you try to communicate the WRT54GX2 router with WAP54G, so you need to configure the WRT54GS router with WAP54G...
    1) Connect the WRT54GS router to the modem and configure the WRT54GS router for internet access...Once you are done configure your Access Point in Access Point Client Mode...For this you need to log in to your wrt54gs router and go to status tab, click on Wireless subtab under Status...Note down the MAC Address...
    2) Now access the set-up page of your Access Point, click on AP Mode and select AP Client and in the Remote Access Point's LAN MAC Address field type the Wireless MAC Address you took note in Step1 and click Save Settings...
    3) Match the Wireless Settings and IP Address settings on both the devices(WRT54GS and WAP54G)...
    4) Connect the WAP54G on the LAN/ETHERNET Port of the WRT54GX2 router and disable it's DHCP...Change the Wireless Settings on the WRT54GX2 router and connect your wireless clients to the router...See if this works...

  • Problems with comments-enabled PDF: I can't see my client's comments

    Hello,
    I really hope somebody can help me.
    THE SITUATION: I have a comments-enabled PDF. The comments repository is located on my externally hosted webdav server. Both my client and I have local copies of the PDF, and up until today, my client was able to post comments on the PDF.
    THE PROBLEM:
    - Today, my client suddenly noticed that the review had "expired" and she can't post her comments.
    - I am able to see and post my own comments in the PDF, but I can't see my client's comments in the PDF.
    - My client can see her own comments. (I don't know if she can see mine.)
    - If I log into my webdav site with FTP, I can see my client's XML file which contains all her comments. I can also see my own XML file which contains my comments, and it is indeed updating each time I add a new comment.
    I thought it would be possible to import the XML file containing all her comments into the PDF. However XML is not a format that Acrobat allows you to import!!! It only will accept FDF, XFDF, or PDF!
    Phone tech support was spectacularly unhelpful. I seriously doubt "Nelson" from Bombay has ever used Acrobat in his life. He asked me to send the file to him, which I did, but I haven't heard back.
    So my question is:
    1) How can I get my Acrobat file to view the comments which are sitting on the comments server in an xml file? Why would it see mine but ignore hers?
    2) If I can't get the comments to show up, then can I at least import my client's comments, which are currently sitting in an XML file, into my PDF?
    bonus question: Why is there so little documentation about dealing with webdav comments repositories? Is it considered better to use acrobat.com instead of our own webdav server or something?
    This is Acrobat 9.1.0 Pro for Leopard.

    Thanks for your reply, Steve. Yes, she did say that there was an end date, but when I go there, I don't see one. Baffling.
    I have decided to go over to her office, create an archive of her PDF, then try to pull those comments into a new PDF.
    This is a GIANT PAIN. And egg in my face, after I've sold this client on the ease and convenience of a PDF workflow!
    So is there any way to get xml comments back into a PDF???
