Installing New Wireless Router

I'm about to install a Linksys Wireless Router, Model No. WRT160N. Do I need to delete my Netgear Wireless Router settings first? Thanks

There are no settings for you to delete. Unplug the old router and install the new one and configure it manually by going to 192.168.1.1

Installed new wireless router; don't know how to change printer settings

I just changed the wireless router which has created a problem with printing. I don't know what I need to do to change the printer settings to accommodate the new wireless router. Would greatly appreciate any help with how to do so. I'm on Windows XP, SP3 with a HP all in one on a wireless laptop (don't have wired connection). Wireless router is a linksys. Security AVG 8 trial version. Thank you!

What is the model of your printer? Did you install the printer via a USB previously?

Firefow will not open at all on one computer and on the other it opens but will not load. I just added a new wireless router, could this have anything to do with it, it had been working fine up until I installed it Tuesday night. Internet explorer won't

I installed a new wireless router on Tues. (May4) up until that time I had no problems using Firefox. Now I cannot get it to open on one computer, and the other it will open but will not load. Wondering if it has anything to do with the router, my provider or our computers. Again, it had been working fine. I am also unable to open interent explorer now on either computer.

Sounds like a problem with the router installation/configuration (likely) or a DOA router (very unlikely).
Visit the forums for the router manufacturer (i.e., linksys, d-link, etc.) and ask for assistance there. There is probably a link to help listed in the router manual.

HT1365 just installed a new wireless router (cisco linkseys E1200) and our apple laptops connect fine on one floor but lose connectivity when moved to another. Other non apple laptops & Ipad connect with no problem no matter what floor they are on

We just installed a new wireless router to our main PC. It's a Cisco Linkseys E1200. All other wireless devices were able to connect without a problem, including my Ipad. We have 2 Macbook Pro laptops. They both connect just fine when on the same floor of our house as the router, but when we take them upstairs to the 2nd floor of the house, they lose connectivity and it states the wireless password is not the correct password. All other 2nd floor laptops have no problem at all with connectivity no matter where they are in the house. Please help- my husband is on the verge of selling Apple if that cannot be remedied.

This would not be a security issue symptom. I would consider checking for sources of wireless interference HT1365

I have a new wireless router and now my laptop will not recognize the printer.

I recently installed a new wireless router,Linksys E2500, and now my laptop will not connect to my OfficeJet 4500 wireless printer. Operating system is Windows XP. Says it does not recognize the printer. It was working fine with my other Linksys router and I have been able to connect all of my other electronic equipment. Thanks.

You must reinstall the full feature software and drivers again to be sure it will work with the new router. This is the fastest way. Simply follow the instructions that came with the printer.

Can't get airport express to work with new wireless router

I just swapped out a linksys wrt54gl for a linksys E1200 wireless router on my home network. My PCs and iPads, and TV all made the switch to the new network fine, but the airport express isn't working. All I want to use it for is to transfer iPad audio to my home speakers. but my iPad AirPlay shows the old Airport as an option, I can switch to the Airport, no sound comes out the home speakers, then the iPad reverts AirPlay back to iPad. This model Airport just has power, USB, and LANA ports, so it doesn't seem like it would be complicated. A CAT 5 cable goes from the airport WAN port to one of the ports on the back of the new wireless router. What did I overlook?

I thought I'd jump in here with you network experts for some help with a related networking problem.
Equipment: iMac 24-inch, Early 2009 2.93 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo; 2 MBP w/Retina Display; AirPort Express version 7.6.4 (Conncected Using: DHCP; Router Mode: DHCP and NAT); Comcast/Xfinity Gateway 1 Modem w/2.4 GHz WiFi.
#1. Comcast forced me to change modems to their Gateway 1 saying mine was at “End of Life.” Previously, my home network was set up with AP Express and worked fine using my iMac as a server. After installing the Gateway 1, I could not get my network to work after repeated calls to their support, online chats, trial and error, reading community chats and articles, etc. I put the Comcast modem in passive mode using the “Bridge” setting and re-established my network with my AP. I’m using my iMac as a server for file sharing with my two MBP’s. The network isn’t recognized in sleep mode and will not wake from sleep and I can’t find it or Connect to Server when the computer is asleep. I’ve tried all combinations within the Energy Saver/Screen Saver/Security preferences. I’ve reset the SMC and other like resetting to factory defaults. How can I fix this and what are the correct settings for my home network to function again with my AP Express?
#2. TimeMachine stops doing backups when the computer is in sleep mode, understandably because I’m not making any changes on the iMac that need to be backed up. But using my laptops on the network, I am making changes in shared files that are hosted on the iMac that I would like backed up. I cannot get the schedule feature to work to wake up the computer long enough to do a backup nightly because, as a security feature, I log out after 30 minutes of inactivity. I understand the schedule doesn’t work unless you’re logged in. Is there a way for me to make this work?
Thanks!

MacBook Pro and Time Capsule after adding new wireless router

I have a MacBook Pro and Time Capsule (which functions wirelessly to router and computer). I added a new wireless router (netgear, not my idea) and had to change name of wireless network. Now Time Capsule flashes amber and does not show up in Airport Utility.
Do I have to set up Time Capsule from scratch? If so, if you can aim me to directions I won't have to waste tech support's time.
My additional question on a similar vein: I also have a Time Capsule (second time capsule) which is plugged into the wireless router using ethernet cable for use with a windows notebook running windows 7 which backs up wirelessly. Do I have to change anything on this Time Capsule (second Time Capsule) as a result of change in name of network (I've already adjusted computer to connect to network)?

Hi DD,
If you don't get answers here, try posting in the Time Capsule forum (http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1253) and/or the Time Machine forum (http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1342).

New Wireless Router Shut Down the Phone Line

Just to clarify, I'm not the homeowner or the billpayer at the address that this post concerns. The home and phone belong to a relative who isn't particularly experienced in this sort of thing. She relative is away for the next two weeks, and I promised to try and figure out what was the problem.
A landline fault notice has been filed with BT, but I've been informed that they might not be able to make it out here until this coming Wednesday, so it would be convenient if I could troubleshoot it from my end and safe the technicians a trip.
My information on the issue is limited, having only briefly spoken with the relative about it. As I understand it, she upgraded her wireless broadband with Orange in order to attain speeds of 14MB and to have an unlimited data allowance. Upon recieving the new wireless router, she removed the previous one and correctly wired in the new one. Immediately after this, the landline and internet ceased to work. I've spent the last hour poking around and trying different phone ports in the house to no avail. The phones all say 'Check Phone Line'.
This is all extremely puzzling. I have no idea why plugging in a new router would cause the phone line to shut down. Does anyone have any insight into what might have caused this?

Flytch wrote:
I just went up to the 'main box' in the attic and plugged in an older phone. The line was still dead, which I guess means that whatever happened when the modem was plugged in happened outside the buildings.
Did you unplug the modem when you did the test in the main box?

Need a new wireless router with switching

I would like to purchase a new wireless router with 4 port switch. I have an Intel iMac with 2 pc's and have spent hours trying to configure my existing Linksys router to work properly and need to make a change. I have not been able to use iChat with Powerbook users and have had other problems as well and have given up...
The recommended router list on the iChat website does not specifically mention wireless routers with 4 port switching...
Does anyone have any suggestions for a router which is easy to use and configure?
Thanks,
cj

Hi Herpestes,
If you mean which method of opening the ports should you use for those computers it will be the UPnP setting found in the Adminstarion tab
Log on to the Linksys by typing 192.168.1.1 into a web browser
Type admin as User ID and Password.
Go to Administration
Enable UPnP

I have on airport express that is 5 years old, I now have a new wireless router. I want to use the express just for air waving iTunes. How do I set it up?

I have on airport express that is 5 years old, I now have a new wireless router. I want to use the express just for air waving iTunes. How do I set it up?

Hello 84wvu,
It sounds like you want to setup your Airport Express to Airplay music from iTunes. I found an article with steps to help you get this setup:
Connecting to an existing Wi-Fi network, exclusively for iTunes music
AirPort Express used exclusively for AirPlay by setting it up in Client Mode.
Choose this configuration if the computer containing your iTunes library may be out of direct range of the AirPort Express, but is within range of the Wi-Fi network.
How to Set It Up
Connect your AirPort Express to your home stereo or powered speakers.
From your computer, join the wireless network. Use the AirPort status menu in the menu bar on a Mac. On a Windows-based computer, hold the pointer over the wireless connection icon until you see your AirPort network name (SSID), and choose it from the list if there are multiple networks available. Enter the network password, if necessary.
Open iTunes on your computer and choose the AirPort Express(es) you wish to stream music through from the speakers pop-up menu in the lower-right corner of the iTunes window.
I also recommend reviewing the sections titled "Some things you should know about AirPort Express with AirPlay" and "Things to consider before you begin" in the full article:
Wi-Fi base stations: How to set up and configure AirPort Express for AirPlay and iTunes

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

1 of 2 Airport Expresses Not Responsive After New Wireless Router Installed

Installed a new Belkin N+ wireless router and now one of my Airport Expresses that I use for Airtunes cannot be "seen" by my computer. Tried resetting with no luck. One of them is a g and the other an n. It is the n that I'm having the issue with.

Welcome to the discussion area!
Temporarily, connect an ethernet cable directly from your Mac to the AirPort Express. This will usually allow AirPort Utility to "see" the Express so that you can reconfigure it to work with the new router. You can disconnect the ethernet cable after you have updated the settings on the AirPort Express.
If this is not successful after a few tries, then the next step would be to reset the Express back to a factory default condition and reconfigure it again. To do this you would:
Power down the Express for a few moments
Hold in the reset button and keep holding it in as you plug the Express back in to power
Release the reset button after 8-10 seconds

I keep losing my wireless connection after periods of inactivity - any solution? I recently installed a new wireless router with improved range.

I recently installed a Netgear Wireless router for improved reception, but now my macbook loses connection through Airport after periods of inactivity. We have another older Macbook in the house, and it never loses connection. I never had this problem with the previous Linksys router, just limited range. Any ideas what is causing this? It's frustrating to have to frequently shout down and re-boot. That so far is the only way I can re-connect.

Adjust the Wireless Settings on your linksys router...
Open an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab on the Setup page- Here Wireless Network mode should be mixed- Provide any non linksys network name ....
Name (SSID) box- Set wireless channel to 11- And wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on "Save Settings" >>
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select AES...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your
network key whenever you connect to your wireless network.
Do NOT give this key to anyone.
Click on Advanced Wireless settings>>
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings" ...
Try to look for the Wireless Network on your laptop and attempt to connect...
