Issue with Linksys Router and Modem with Vonage Device

Hello,
I have a Linksys Router and Cable Modem.  Plus I have Vonage for my home phone.  I have been having several problems and now, my Vonage phone will not work at all.  I have cable internet and my ISP is Cox Commuication.  I do not know how to connect my Vonage device with my Router and Modem.  People have been giving me advice, but nothing has worked.
Does anyone know how to intergrate all three of these items together?  Basically which plug goes where.  Currently my phone is not working.  The only thing that is in use right now is my linksys cable modem.  I have the power cord plugged in, the blue cord from the modem plugged into my laptop, and the cable from the modem to the wall jack.  Please help.  Thank-You!
Linksys Router:  WRT54G version 6
Linksys Cable Modem:  BEFCMU10
Vonage (Motorola):  VT2143-VD

The router should be online first. Can you get into the router's configuration page?
The box said windows xp or better... So I installed Linux!

  • Can't establish a network with Wireless-G Linksys router and Macs

    I have a Wireless-G Linksys router and two Macs. My DSL cable is connected to the modem, the modem to the router w/Ethernet cable, and the router to a desktop Mac out of port 1. With this setup, I can usually -- not always -- connect to my wireless network with my PowerBook, but then the desktop Mac cannot connect to the internet. Either Mac connects to the internet when hooked up directly to the DSL modem. I have reset the modem. I have connected to the router's console and everything seems to be in order.The PowerBook can connect to the internet through the wireless router as described above, so there don't seem to be any Mac/PC incompatibility issues at work.My local gurus and my ISP are stumped. Any suggestions?

    Then , Connect the MACINTOSH Computer to Port 1 or
    Port 2 on the Router.Hope you are Online. Now, 
    Open a new Internet Browser Page, and in the address bar,
    type http://192.168.1.1, press return, And when asked for
    Username and Password,
    Leave the Username blank and in the Password field,
    type admin . This will help you access the Router's
    Console. Now, Click the Tab " Wireless " at the top,
    Rename the SSID from ' Linksys' to your preferred name. 
    Save the Settings.
     Now, Click the Tab " Wireless " at the top, 
    Then Click the Sub Tab in the Blue Line ' Wireless Security '
    just below the Wireless Tab,
    Set the Security Mode to WEP, Default Key as Key 1,
    Encryption Mode as ' 64 Bits10 Hex Digits ' ,

    [ can contain 0-9, A-F ] in WEP Key 1 Field alone,
    Copy the Key on a piece of paper for your reference,
    Save the Settings. Now, Make your Computer Wireless.
    Restart it. Once the Computer has restarted,
    Go to " System Preferences",
    Click on the Icon , " Network " , Set the Location to " Automatic "

  • It has been not more than 10 days since i bought iphone 5s 32gb and the finger print scanner is not detecting the prints.what to do??is it an issue with the device or iOS??

    It has been not more than 10 days since i bought iphone 5s 32gb and the finger print scanner is not detecting the prints.what to do??is it an issue with the device or iOS??

    Standard practices:
    Restart the device (power off completely, then back on) - retest.
    Reset (hold sleep wake and home buttons until apple logo appears) - you can try this, but it is most useful when your device is frozen.
    Restore to factory settings - retest.
    Make an appointment at an Apple retail store genius bar if the above did not resolve the issue.

  • Linksys router + comcast modem problems

    Ever since my parents upgraded to digital voice with comast we got this huge modem. Before, my computers connected wirelessly never had a problem. But now, every single day, every single thing I connected to the my router looses connection (Xbox 360, PC, ipod touch). The only way, it seems, I can fix it is if I go to the router settings and "Release" then "renew" the DHCP then I power cycle my router and modem. After I do that, everythings fine for about a day then I have to do the whole thing over again. Anyone have a solution to my problem

    Whats the model number of your Router?  As comcast has replaced your modem, what i would suggest you is connect the modem directly to the computer and observe the connection , if you face the same problem then it might be your Modem. If it works fine for a day, then i think you need to upgrade the firmware of your router which you can download from the Linksys website.
    Go to website www.linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in search tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop
    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful"  After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
    Now reset your router :
    Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

  • I have an ipad first generation.  I am trying to connect to a linksys router and it is not finding the wireless network.  what do i need to do?

    I have an ipad first generation.  I am trying to connect to a linksys router and the ipad is not finding the wireless network.  What do I need to do?  Thanks for your help.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Linksys Router and WHS 2011

    I am looking at replacing my Netgear WNDR3800 router with a Linksys router. The Netgear 3800 router is NOT 100% compatible with WHS 2011.   I would like the new Linksys router and WHS 2011 to be compatible wtih each other.   When I say "compatible", I want the WHS 2011 to auto detect the Linksys router and automatically setup the configuration.   This would include the UPnP settings as well.
    I am looking at the EA6500 router as a replacement.   Anybody use the EA6500 and WHS 2011?

    The new EA6500 should be compatible with WHS 2011 and UPNP is enable by default so that's should be good to go.

  • Always have to restart router and modem.

    I don't think this actually is the airport's fault and this only happens at my house, but maybe someone would know.
    I have airport extremes in my G5 and ibook, and a linksys broadband modem, and a motorola router. if i restart my computers or the computers go to sleep i always have to unplug the modem and router to reset them; then the internet finally works. The only place i ever have to do this is my house, it always automatically works anywhere else. Anyone know what could be causing this?

    when i first turn on the computer, or wake it up from sleeping the airport wireless recognizes my wireless connection but can't connect to the internet. when i unplug the router and modem i unplug it, wait about 10 seconds then plug it back in. after doing this my internet works fine for as long as the computer stays on. if i turn it off, or put it to sleep again, however, then i must unplug the router and modem again. i don't know why unplugging it works, but i was hoping maybe someone knew what i could do to have it just work automatically.

  • PSP, router, and modem issues with Remote Play

    Background:
    Verizon DSL
    Westell 6100 modem
    WRK54G router
    PS3
    PSP
    I haven't seen a post on this topic yet, so I'll explain the issue.  The Playstation 3 is networkable either through a wired ethernet or wireless connection.  The Playstation Portable is also networkable over wifi.  The PSP has always worked at hot spots for web surfing and gaming.  With the release of the PS3, there was a new feature called Remote Play, which let you connect your PSP to your PS3 and stream the PS3 interface.  You can manipulate the options, watch videos and listen to music, just like you are at the controls of the PS3.  The PS3 has to be put in "remote play" mode for this to work.
    Last week, Sony released an update that made this functionality work over the internet.  For most people this worked just fine.  Others had to open ports here or there, but there is a group of users that cannot connect from a hot spot, but can connect over the internet at home.  The original remote play connection (before the update) was a direct connection between the PS3 and PSP.  Now you can connect through your router at home (scan for your router and connect that way).  This connection works since the PS3 and PSP are both connected to the same router in your home.  When you go to a hotspot, you can get all the way up to the point that the PS3 streamed screen should start, but it times out.
    This is taken directly from the PS3 owner's manual:
    "If the PS3 system is connected to the Internet via two or more routers, communication may not work correctly."
    It seems like internet connection from a hot spot doesn't work because the request for the PS3 gets lost between two routers when it gets to my home network.
    Finally to my question.  It seems like my Westell 6100 is functioning as a router, as is my WRK54G.  When i look at my modem's settings, it is set up as a bridge protocol in routed bridge mode.  Everything else I try makes me lose my internet connection.
    Anybody know what I'm talking about or have any suggestions?
    Thanks

    A lot of PS3/PSP owners are having this issue with Remote Play. I have a WRT350N and have been through Sony forum as well as this one to know about all setups from port forwarding to giving your PS3 a static IP and placing in DMZ. I can say I had success connected via or public wi-fi but I also noticed how unstable Remote Play is. There will be times you can connect to it but if you turn your PS3 completely off (not standby) and back on you will pretty much need to setup your PSP again with the PS3 for Remote Play. The problem itself lies more with Sony and not our modem and routers except that fact that you do have to make some minor changes like disable UPnP, forward ports and etc. I own the Sony LocationFree Player which uses a similiar function like Remote Play but instead gives you control over your cable tv remotely anywhere on laptop or psp. LocationFree never failed me since day one because Sony created a DDNS for it which worked for me no matter who my carrier was or what router I have used over the years. Remote Play was introduced later for PS3 which pretty much like LocationFree but Sony doesn't provide a DDNS for it, instead we have to go through all the crazy configurations which is never stable. However you can register for a DDNS at DynDNS.org and configure your router with it which I have done before and found it to be very stable. No matter what Sony still needs to address the issue with the PS3 communication for Remote Play. You can find a lot of info here for setting up DDNS and as for Remote Play your better off going to the Playstation Forums. Good Luck!

  • I bought a WRT320N Linksys router and keeps dropping out

    I bought a Linksys WRT320N Router about 2 weeks ago. I am very upset that I did not take time to do my home work before I got screwed. I brought the router home and connected it. I am pretty familiar with networking these routers, I had the thing connected for about an hour, everything going good and then my wireless dropped out, my son started complaining he could not get his playstation 3 to work over the net, and then I did a speed test for the internet speed. I got 1 MB/s (Normally I am pegging around 30 MB/s, which is like flying, at least for me.) I was waiting for about 40-60 seconds for my homepage to come up. Disconnected my router from the computer and plugged direct into the modem and found I was still pegging 30 MB/s. Plugged back into the router and sure enough I was at 1 MB/s.I reset the router and charged on. The next day, same thing. So I called Linksys and told them what was going on. Well for one, the person on the other end of the line did not know about routers, I do not think she could even pronounce router if she tried. I spent 1.5 hours on the phone with her. After it was all done and over with her reply was " When it happens again, call us" . Oh yea, I want to spend another hour on the phone going through reset this, reset that. I already have done that.
              Anyway, I got on this post and looked up my router thinking you guys may have better ideas than linksys, and of course you did. I read that these routers are overheating. So I connected a fan to the bottom of the router and I have air being sucked through the router cooling it down. So far it works okay. I went 1 week and 2 days before I had to reset. I connected a themometer to the case of the router and what did you know without the fan the router was running around 100 degrees F, the router was hanging in the air so it had plenty of ventilation. If the case is 100 deg. F, the insides must be frying. When I have the fan running the temperature of the case stays at room temperature or just a degree above. It must work some because I was going from resetting everyday to resetting every 1.5 weeks. I will keep you apprised of how the router is doing. I just have to say, Never again will I buy a linksys product. I will buy another brand until the engineers at linksys can figure out how to correct the router they have out there.
    (Mod note: Edited for guideline compliance. Thank you.)

    It is not possible that all WRT320N Wireless router's would act same, maybe the router you bought went bad, you should replace the router with the same model and that should resolve all your issues...

  • Please help... Linksys router and Imac help

    I just switched to Mac, but I might be returning the Imac and getting a Dell or something because it's getting a little ridiculous.
    My IP address on my Linksys router is not being recognized by the airport in my new Imac. It took FOREVER for me to get this to work and now it has crapped out 2 times in the last 4 days. I am about to take this new Mac back to the store and go back to a Dell.
    Here is a basic description of what is happening:
    When I do a diagnostic test I click on Airport and it is saying that the airport signal is fine (green dots), but it doesn't find the IP address. I select my network name that the Airport is picking up and still nothing. I can even get online by selecting a different wi-fi signal from someone that lives close to me too. It's obviously something with my Linksys router that does not work well with my Mac.
    Also, even when my Mac doesn't get online, my Ps3 and 360 both still do so I know it is the computer/router that is the problem.
    I try unplugging the router, modem, restarting...etc. but it just seems so wierd that it goes off like that.... It's also very annoying, because then I have to hear from my wife about that we spent $1500 on a computer that won't get online some of the time, when I can still get online on my PS3 and 360.
    By the way, when I am not connected to the internet Safari will NOT let me put in the 192.168.1.1 in the address bar to get to my router settings. But I did check them from my PS3 and the "clone my MAC" thing is still enabled.
    Apple's software update tells me there's no new software available for my machine, which leaves me with no idea what's causing this or how to fix it.
    Any advice, solutions, or tips are greatly appreciated.
    Can anyone please help me??? If this is going to be a continuous problem, I am taking the computer back and getting a new Dell or something since we mostly use the computer for the internet functions.
    Anybody please help???

    Let's double-check your iMac's AirPort settings ...
    System Preferences > Network > AirPort
    o Location: Automatic
    o In the left column, verify that an AirPort option exists. If it does not, click "+" to create one. (Note: If you are unable to create an AirPort configuration, the AirPort card in your computer either doesn't exist or it is not recognized.)
    o Verify that AirPort is "On." Click "Turn AirPort On" button if not.
    o Ask to join new networks: (enabled)
    o Show AirPort status in menu bar: (enabled)
    Systems Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced
    AirPort tab
    o Remember any network this computer has joined: (enabled)
    o Disconnect from wireless networks when logging out: (enabled)
    o Require Administrator password to control AirPort: (disabled)
    TCP/IP tab
    o Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
    o Configure IPv6: Off
    DNS tab
    o DNS Servers: <if required, add your desired DNS server IP address(es) here>
    o Search Domains: <if required, add your desired DNS Search Domain(s) here>
    WINS tab
    o Enter desired WINS info or leave the defaults
    AppleTalk tab
    o Make AppleTalk Active: (disabled)
    802.11X tab
    o Enter desired 802.11X info or leave the defaults
    Proxies tab
    o Enter the desired Proxies info or leave the defaults
    If you connect your iMac directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the LAN ports on your Linksys router, can it access the Internet now?

  • Cisco-Linksys Router and no PPPOA Option for Conne...

    Hi all! 
    New here and just hoping to get some here!
    We are using a BT Business hub Router and it is having a few issues with wireless connectivity, so I would like to use another router to see if it is our equipment or if it is the router itself.
    I have a Cisco Linksys E1000 Router and after looking at the BT router I can see that the connection type is set to PPPOA with a username and password. I do know the username and password so that isnt an issue, however on the Cisco router there is no option for PPPOA, the only options are:
    Static IP, DHCP, PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP, and BigPond
    There is a connection in the back of the cisco router for the ADSL cable, I was just wondering if there is a way to work around this?
    Thanks very much!!

    I am sure you will get help there when someone has time.

  • 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.
