Internet Access in House

Hello -
I currently am running a 611 ONT for my FiOS home internet and tv. I have my router running upstairs, however just acquired a new desk with which I am hoping to set up a new office area downstairs. I would like to move the router to this location as well.
I recall when the tech was first enabling the service in my upstairs location, that I needed both the ethernet and coax cable to feed the router, because 611 ONTs require both to provide internet to the house, as well as to update the channel guides for the STBs.
Downstairs I currently have coax running to the desired new office space, and was told that attaching a modulator (NIM?) to the coax cable would allow me to use internet downstairs. Does it sound correct that I'll need ethernet run to this room as well so I can get both internet AND channel guide updates?
TLDR: Have ethernet and catv running upstairs to my router, want to relocate router downstairs where I have only catv currently. Possible?
Thanks

Poor Internet Access Throughout House - Any suggestions?

We had Fios Internet installed about a year ago and have noticed that we have almost no Internet access upstairs - the router is located on our first level. Is there any suggestions to fixing this? I understand if access isn't quite as good, but it is frankly not usable at all. Any help is most appreciated - At this point, I am very unhappy with the service and would like to see it work on both levels. Many thanks!

Take a look at this thread to learn how this user added another access point in another location in his home. It may work for you.

All my apple device has no internet access after connect to my house's wifi.

After connecting my apple ipad to my wifi, it show that there is no internet access. But my laptop can connect it and also use my wifi with internet access. My router is Wireless-G. Why can't I use my wifi????

Hi nkarthikeyan ,
You're right, in the behind configuration, there aren't any NAT configured for the simple reason which's Firewall is on production on another site and users must to connect to our Intranet to working properly so until I found a solution, I do some tests only with one desktop located on site...
I tried to add this command on my configuration but when I do it, I lost connection with computer of my site of ZAG ...
ASA5505-ZAG(config)# nat (inside,outside) source dynamic any interface
Also, I tried this configuration but without success also :/
for no-nat
object network ZAG_L2L
subnet 10.90.0.0 255.255.255.0
object network Trafic_vpn_MainSite_L2L1
subnet 10.239.80.0 255.255.248.0
object network Trafic_vpn_MainSite_L2L2

nat (inside,outside) source static ZAG_L2L ZAG_L2L destination static Trafic_vpn_MainSite_L2L2 Trafic_vpn_MainSite_L2L2
And to finish my questions, can you explain me this point please :
Also you need to place your real ip address in interface ACL's instead of NATed ip address...
Thanks for your support !
I really appreciate it !

My laptop has access to the internet...through my router. my i phone though it says it's connected to internet will not pick up internet. three people came over with apple prodcuts and they couldn't pickup internet in my house either.

My I phone though it says it's connected to internet in my home (using my modem/router) will not pick up any internet in the house. Had company all three people had apple products and they couldn't pick up internet in my house. uisng my router/modem password. My laptop has internet and is fine..but not i phone.
i have done everything--unplugged router, modem, etc. called help line on Opt..they redid router #...etc. still not working on my internet.
why?

Is it a 5ghz router?
If so, iPhones only support the 2.4ghz Wireless b/g/n band.

I use linksys to get internet access for laptop; can I easily hook up my linksys to a relative's computer so I can use my laptop at their house?

I was thinking I could use an ethernet cable and do the same sort of hookup on another person's PC as I have done on my own PC to allow me to use my laptop when I visit. Maybe I'd also have to bring my linksys disk and run that also. Do you know if this is possible and if there's an easier way to do this?
Thanks.

Is your work computer barred by your employer's policy from accessing the
Internet. If the answer is yes, you may get yourself in hot water or worse by
using your iPhone to give internet access to the employer's computer. You
may wish to check into your employer's policies and attendant punishments
for violation before proceeding too far. In many companies, making such
alterations to the way the employer owned computer operates is grounds for
immediate dismissal.

Is it possible to be connected with a 3G modem for internet access and a WiFi router for printer sharing at the same time?

For our only internet access we have a 3G wireless modem. I have since purchased a WiFi printer and router to connect all the comptuters to in the house. The PCs have no problem with using both the 3G connection and the WiFi signal at the same time to print, however, the MacBook Pro will not connect to the 3G network and the router, it will drop the internet access from the modem and attempt to connect via WiFi (which has no internet access). Is there a solution that is available to remedy this? I attempted to create an adhoc printer network, however, the macbooks again will not print off of this, only the PCs. And I'm getting a bit frustrated overall with this.

The 3G wireless modem is on one of the PC's correct?
Why don't you pass the Internet through the Ethernet port to the router via Cat5 cable, then have that transmit a Wifi signal that everything else can use, then connect the printer to the router for print sharing?
You would have to turn off the wifi on the comptuer with the 3G modem as it's physically connected to the router and can't connect to the other machines as they are all connected to the router for sharing.
The Mac has the ability to pass, Internet Sharing in the System Preferences.
Do you have software for the Mac to run the 3G modem?

WRTP54G router: I have internet access wirelessly but a wired desktop doesn't.

We have an excellent wireless network working in the house, but my desktop (which isn't wireless) can't get internet access. It says that a network cable is unplugged - it's not. When a cable is plugged into one of the 4 ethernet ports in the back of the router, the ethernet lights on the front don't light up or flash or anything. I think that part isn't working. Is there anything I can do? Should I update the firmware? Or just get a new router? I have tried using different cables, but nothing changes. The only way for the desktop to get online is to take the router out of the configuration, but then the wireless network and the Vonage phone are out.
I went to ipconfig at the command prompt and under Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: my Media State is Media disconnected. So, I'm guessing the ethernet ports on the router are not working at all.
Thanks for your help.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Do continuos ping ping 192.168.1.1 -t and check how many replies or RTO you will have. If you have replies even just a bit connect your PC to the modem to get internet connection and download the latest firmware and upgrade utility for your Router.
FIRMWARE
1. Go to www.linksys.com/downloads
2. Enter the Model Number of your Router
3. Choose Get Downloads
4. Select the Device Version
5. Check Downloads and Drivers then download the Firmware
UPGRADE UTILITY
1. Go to www.linksys.com/downloads
2. Enter the Model Numner BEFSR41
3. Choose Get Downloads
4. Select Device Version - Version 4.0
5. Check Downloads and Drivers then download the Utility
After downloading those files.
Connect your PC back to the Router then run the TFTP(Utlity) set Server = 192.168.1.1; Password = admin; then choose the firmware file that you have downloaded. Then Upgrade the firmware of your router.
Note : Make sure the you have set the TCP/IP and DNS Server of you computer back to OBTAIN IP ADDRESS.
Note : To run the TFTP Utility set the TCP/IP and DNS Server of your computer back to USE THE FOLLOWING IP ADDREESS.
Just follow the previous posts to do this. Good Luck.

IPad 2 fully connected to Wi-Fi and a VPN, but not getting any internet access

I'm on iOS 8.3 using an iPad 2, and the other day out of nowhere, I stopped getting internet connection to my iPad. I am still connected to my WiFi network as well as a VPN I was using before I lost internet connection (which is weird, as I figured I'd have lost that), and the WiFi icon is still there. I've tried multiple methods to try and fix the problem:
updating the iPad (I was on iOS 8.1 when I lost connection)
forgetting and then rejoining the network
renewing the lease under the WiFi network's settings
rebooting the iPad
turning WiFi off and on
turning airplane mode and Do Not Disturb mode on, then keeping the iPad turned off for 10 minutes (as suggested here: iPad connected to wifi, but no wifi icon and no internet access?)
unplugging and then plugging back in the router's power
turning off the VPN (it hadn't caused any problems for the week I had been using it, but I wanted to make sure)
doing a hard reset on the iPad
and NONE of these have done anything to help. I have no idea what to do now, as I can't seem to find really anymore possible solutions. Also, yes, I checked the network IP address and it doesn't start off with "169". And the iPad is the only thing that isn't getting internet access, every other device in my house is doing fine, so I don't think it's the WiFi network itself. Unfortunately I can't try connecting to another WiFi network either to see if I can still actually connect to the internet, as I live in a semi-rural area. I've never run into any issue like this in the 3 years I've had the iPad, and I have no idea what's going on. Will I need to take it into an Apple Store to have it fixed, or is there anything left I might be able to do myself?

When you unplugged the router did you leave it off for at least 3.minutes? Try unplugging it again, waiting & then bootimg back up.
Try to connect your iPad again,
If you have another iOS device that is connected, check it's wifi settings under your network the IP address settings & cross compare it to your iPad 2
Some routers also have settings where you can increase allowable connections. Have you tried connecting just your iPad with no other devices connected?
if that doesn't work, I would suggest you try & find a public wifi hotspot to see if you can connect there. If not, then I would suggest your next trip be to a Genius Bar to Let Apple diagnose the issue.

Wifi connection but 'No Internet Access'

We recently had BT fibre optic BB fitted and all seemed well on the day. However very quickly devices using the wifi started to have only intermittent ‘connection’. The devices show as having a good/strong signal, yet are often unable to access the internet, and in the case of our lap tops when we can not get online they say ‘Connected’ to the wifi but they also say ‘No Internet Access’. The iPad minis we have also show as connected, with good signal, but just will not access the internet.
The issue is intermittent and has no set pattern. At one point all devices are connected, sometimes one or two aren’t, sometimes none are. When they will not connect we have to move them into the room where the hub is and wait for them to reconnect. We are talking about 2 laptops, 2 iPad minis, 2 smart phones and 2 Xbox 360’s, as well as my PC (which is connected via ethernet cable). So I doubt I'm overworking the hub, especially as my old router worked (just) with this amount of devices and that was on a basic non fibre optic BB.
When the engineer connected us he set the internet up in the study, which is at one end of our house, as that is where the master phone point and my PC are. He connected the PC via Ethernet cable and I connected an iPad mini wirelessly (whilst sat next to the hub). He did not check anything else worked or check if we had coverage in the whole house. I do have a phone point in the hall, which is in the middle of the house, but he did not offer to connect to this point, or suggest that may offer better coverage in my house.
My frustration with this is compounded by the fact I had a basic Netgear wireless router running on a bog standard Virgin Media BB connection, never stronger than about 3 megs, that covered the whole house from exactly the same spot as the Homehub.
I have tried adding a plug in signal booster (as suggested on another thread), and that has helped with the overall strength of the signal in the rooms furthest from the hub, but it does not stop this ‘connection’ issue.
Can someone help with suggestions regards settings on our devices or the hub, I did wonder if it was due to the dual frequencies the hub uses, or regards getting someone out to look at this. I am at my wits end already, and I have only had BT BB 5 days.
Thanks in advance.

From reading your original post, the issue doesn't seem to be wth wireless signal strength - your devices are connected to wireless but just can't make an internet connection, correct?
In my experience there are a number of reasons why this can happen:
1. Your device has a fixed IP address and it's on a different subnet from the router. Are your devices configured for static IP addresses or DHCP? The BT Home Hubs use 192.168.1.x as the default subnet. To be honest, it doesn;t sound like this is your problem if they work when moved to a different location, but best to check.
2. Your hub isn't connected to broadband. You should be able to see this from the 'b' light on the hub. Again, doesn;t sound like your problem.
3. The device connects correctly to the wireles hub but fails to get an IP address. You can check IP address assignments on the hub itself by pointing your browser at bthomehub.home, going to Advanced Settings and then DHCP Table (this is for a HH3). You can also check the IP address assignment on your laptops, but I don't know what OS you're using so I can't tell you how to do that. If the device is failing to get an IP address then I'd try restarting the Hub.
4. Your devices are connecting to the Hub's BTWiFi network instead of your real network (this happens regularly with my iPhone and iPad). Force a reconnect to your real network.
Hope this helps!

No internet access after virus removed

MacAfee anti virus removed a Trojan (zeroaccess) after which my desktop computer lost ability to connect to the internet. MacAfee told me to contact my ISP after we did various tests that confirmed that the computer does not connect to the internet (i.e., "ping test"?). Other computer in the house connects to FIOS internet wirelessly with no problem. I don't think that the problem is with FIOS or the router but is due to changes in programs caused by the virus. Is this something that Verizon can help with or not? MacAfee wants to access my computer remotely to repair damage done by the virus but without internet access they can't help me.

Make sure you have no proxies. Virus's often create proxy settings and that is usually what kills your connection.
Open Internet Explorer by clicking the Start button , and then clicking Internet Explorer.
Click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options.
Click the Connections tab, and then click LAN settings.
Make sure nothing has checkmarks there.
Afterwards,
Using the ping command to test the connection between your computer and the router or gateway
Using the ping command to verify your Internet connection
Post back the results. Also let us know if you are wired, or wireless

Software for controlling internet access with Airport Exreme

I'd like to find software that let's me control what pc's in the house have internet access at certain times. My iMac is my main computer, and I use Airport Extreme as my router.

You probably need to set the card up in OSX. Verizon should have a modem script that needs to be installed. (Hard Drive>Library>Modem Scripts). Then you need to set up the card from Network Preferences. Then it should work on both platforms.

Wifi Access for House / Harddrive restricted to admin

I just got a Time Capsule for personal use to backup my computer. My house includes 3 people who all use the current Airport Extreme. So, I have one goal and I'm not sure which is best. Right now the AE is piggy-backed to the AT&T router because it's just terrible.
1. I want to use my Time Capsule so anyone with the password can have access to the Wifi connection but restrict access to the harddrive to only me.
If that's not possible:
2. I want to not connect the TC to either router and set up a connection that only I'll have access to completely independent of the house network.
Any help would be awesome.

In AirPort Utility you can set up a Guest network that will have internet access but not any access to your desktop or the HD on the TC

IPhone 5S joins wifi but no internet access - help!

Forgive the length of this, I've browsed past threads about this problem and googled everything I could, but I can't fix the issue.
iPhone 5S, iOS 7.0.4
I have a MacBook Pro, a Time Capsule, several airport expresses, an iPad and AppleTV in my house... all are working fine (internet access unaffected).
The iPhone worked perfectly until two days ago... the internet access just disappeared for no apparent reason. Wi-fi strength is always strong; never a problem joining.
These are the things I've found on the interwebz and tried:
Rebooting my Xfinity router (multiple times)
Rebooting the iPhone (multiple times)
Turning wi-fi off, then on again (a zillion times)
"Forgetting" my wi-fi network, then rejoining
Changing DNS to 4.2.2.4 and back again
Resetting network settings on iPhone
Renewing lease in wi-fi settings
Checking/reviewing my Xfinity router settings and all connected devices
What am I missing?
Aside from returning the phone and getting a replacement, is there anything else I can do?
Any help/suggestions will be appreciated!

thanks for the suggestion. i did change the broadcast channel and this may hopefully help with an unrelated problem with occassional interference, but sadly it did not help with the iPhone issue.
everything still works fine, except the internet connection on the iPhone. sad face.... anyone else?

How To Get a Device Access Code When MyCloud Has No Internet Access?

Hello, I want to set up MyCloud without internet access to backup files from my Android device to a Windows laptop. I have no way to connect my router to the internet. It is just an in house network. Is there a way to get an access code otherwise? Or another way to connect to MyCloud without using the Android app?Thanks!

I should explain what I'm trying to do. We have a small business where we create pdf copies of customer invoices throughout the day. Currently I upload the files using a cloud service which then syncs with my laptop at the office. Works great except the data charges are expensive. I thought that the Mycloud device could replace the online cloud service for this even though I would not be able to sync until back at my desk. So far I haven't figured out how to make this work very well. The Windows software seems clunky but I'm not sure how to access Mycloud without it. Android app won't work without access code but doesn't matter since I can access the drive with Astro File Manager and can sync with SyncMe if needed. I need to figure out a seamless method for syncing to the laptop. Hopefully this all makes better sense now. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

WRVS4400N v1 Router with 3 WRT600N (Access Points) locks Internet access

Have the following equipment
1. WRVS4400N (DHCP Services and connected to DSL modem on different subnets, QuickVPN enabled but not working)
2. 3 WRT600N used as Access Points troughout the house connected to the ports on the above router
The problem is that after working for a while the internet access locks out.... although the wireless laptops get an IP address and can see other network equipment they can't access the internet. After a restart on the WRVS4400N everything works again.
If I connect to one of the ports on the DSL everything is always working. So what could be causing the problem? I don't want the client to have to restart the WRVS4400n router every day.
Any ideas?

Please update the WRVS4400N v1 to the latest code. The new code fixes some of the DHCP issues
