Linksys router requires ethernet port-help!

Bought new Linksys router that's Mac-compatible, thought I'd connect it to my Ethernet source, then connect MacBook Air to the router wirelessly, but the router's setup software (run on external SuperDrive) insists I connect an Ethernet cable from the router to the Air...obviously, that's not going to happen. Even if an Ethernet-to-USB adapter did the trick, I wouldn't want to buy it just for this setup.
Anyone know a workaround? All I've thought of is to haul my iMac up to this new office, do the installation/setup on the iMac, then once the router's up and running, connect wirelessly with my Air...if that'd work.
Any thoughts? Much appreciation, Lee

Hi Linksys. I am in a hotel in Wuhan China and every time I go to use their ethernet plug in through an adaptor it still does not give me access to the internet, the problem is that whilst I am at work I have no problem getting on line with wifi; however for all those times when i wish to use Skype or just e-mail someone, I cant get on. I bought the adaptor and when I use it all I get is a message saying that there is a problem with the 3 ports, and then advises me to check my firewalls.
So buying an adaptor is not working for me. If you find an answer then please let me know.

  • Help required please with installof a Linksys Router iMac G5

    Thanks in advance for any advice or help.
    I wish to connect an iMAC G5 directly to a Linksys Router with 4 port switch.
    Any ideas on this as the Linksys CD does not have Apple software.
    Thanks
    Fergal.

    Welcome to the Apple Forums!
    Sure, it will work. I'm uncertain as to the model that you are referring to, but generally, once you plug in your iMac to your linksys router, you will access it via your web browser at 192.168.1.1 and there is no user name and the password is Admin.
    Take a peek at the documents that came with your router and look for the section called "Web based" administration and that should get you up and running.
    Let us know if you have any other issues.

  • Need help to set wireless Linksys Router WRT150N to work with Nettalk Duo

    I have Linksys Router WRT150N , connect to it Nettalk Duo but there is no ring tone, the orange light is flashing trying to connect, then i have the green light blinking then go Red.
    I thied to call Nettalk but no answer to their phone, chat with customer support at last they said someone from technical support will call back, but that not happen since two weeks.
    I make several tickets to them but no reply, service is very bad.
    Please any help to configer inside the router to recognise Nettalk, i have cable internet they said there is no blockage from there side.

    Hey sam63. Based from what I've read, RED lights means the device has failed to connect to the network. I'd suggest that you perform a powercycle. Unplug the power of the NetTalk Duo and the router for 30 seconds. Once done, power on the NetTalk first then, the router. Also, make sure that it is properly connected to the router's Ethernet port and the router is working online. You may try using another Ethernet cord or plug it into another Ethernet port. 
    If that won't work still, I found a link that might help you. Here: http://www.nettalk.com/support/customer-support/

  • Linksys X2000 Ethernet port problem

    Hello
    When I connect any cable to the ethernet ports on my router, it automatically disconnects from DSL. I just bought this modem yesterday and cannot get over this problem.
    It works normal when I don't connect anything to ethernet ports.
    I updated the firmware to v 2.0.03 but still no change.

    It is really strange that the performance of the router was affected when there is a device connected to the router’s Ethernet port. If that is the case then there could be something with the settings on your router. By the way, have you installed a PPPoE dialer (Broadband icon) on your computer? If you do, then set that PPPoE dialer to “cancel as default” or might as well disable it. You might also need to start from scratch in order for you to fix this problem and that is by resetting the router. Then use the link below for instructions on how to set the router to PPPoE.

  • Use HH2 as modem for Linksys router

    OK, so i have BT broadband and the HH2. I live in a flat with 5 other people, and we need the QoS capabilities of the Linksys WRT54GL.
    To get internet working i need to use the HH2 as a modem that plugs into the Linksys router.
    Iv followed a few guides on these forums but none of them worked.
    S basically right now the HH2 is connected to the ADSL line then from its ethernet port 1 its connected to the linksys's internet ethernet port. I have disabled firewalls on both devices and DHCP on the linksys.
    I am now stuck for ideas...
    So please could someone give me step by step instructions on how to get this setup to work?
    Thanks alot

    1. Using a PC wired into the current router, unplug it from the wired connection and plug into a LAN port on the secondary router. Access the secondary router using your browser via its default LAN IP address and default password. Since the PC was attached to the previous router you will have tell the PC to obtain a LAN IP from the new device. Use 'ipconfig release/renew'  on the PC.
    2. On the secondary router (hereafter called the AP)
    a. change the default password to a minimum combination of 8 letters/numbers/symbols.
    b. Change the ESSID to a unique name and make all the necessary wireless configurations.
    Note: If attaching a WiFi router as an AP/switch to an existing wifi network, one should keep the ESSIDs the same for seamless roaming, or separate if one wants to manually decide which AP to connect to. Also, ensure channel separation (1-6-11 common for three devices).
    3. In the AP, go to the LAN setup page:
    a. Turn DHCP serving OFF.
    b. Change the LAN IP of the AP from its default so that it lies within the subnet of the primary router but preferably outside the dynamic LAN IP range of the primary router. (examples below)
    c. Disable or turn RIP off, if there is that option.
    d. Disable or turn off Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) support (if any).
    4. Plug the PC back into the wired connection and repeat the process of getting new LAN IP. A reboot of the PC may be needed.
    5. Plug the AP into the router, LAN port TO LAN port directly or via switch/patch panel etc. (NOT into the WAN socket...)
    6. It may be necessary to reboot one or both routers but one should be able to assign LAN IPs wirelessly and connect at this point, ensuring WiFi card setup properly.
    Example:
    Primary Router
    LAN IP 192.168.1.1
    old Dynamic DHCP Pool 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.xx
    subnet mask 255.255.255.0
    Will need to change Dynamic DHCP pool
    new DCHP Pool 192.168.1.33 - 192.168.1.xx (for example)
    Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
    Secondary Router (our Access Point)
    old LAN IP 192.168.0.1 -or any other default
    Will need to change LAN IP to be within subnet of primary.
    new LAN IP 192.168.1.2
    Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
    Shouldn't need a crossover cable (most routers are intelligent enogh to realise what they're connecting to)
    Hope this helps...

  • Linksys Router setup WRT54G

    Beginning problem was router would not connect to internet. Ethernet conects PC>Router, Router>Modem. Can connect to internet but router will not pick it up. After searching for fixes now I cannot connect to IP address page (192.168.1.1) Help please, I have been working on this for hours and have mae no head-way.

    Who is your ISP...?
    Are you able to go online wired or not..?
    Make sure that the Modem is connected to the Router on the Internet port and computer to the router on Ethernet port..Now,go to command prompt and check the ip address.
    Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...
    IP Address should be 192.168.1.x, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 (assuming your router is 192.168.1.1)...If you get the above mentioned IP Address, Subnet and Gateway Address then you should ping the Gateway, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...If it gives you request timed out then disable any firewalls, security software on the computer...
    If you get 4 replies,adjust the browser settings..Open an IE, click Tools >> Internet Options, then delete all files, cookies, history, forms...Goto "Connections", make sure Never Dial a Connection is checked, click on LAN Settings and make sure all the options are unchecked...Once you are done click on O.k...Close the IE and re-open it...
    Now,try to open the setup page again... 

  • Want to buy linksys router

    im looking for a wireless router that can connect to my wired usb printer samsung clx 3175 and connect my hard disk or thumb drive together to do wireless printing and wireless access to my portable hard disk or thumb drive. is there a model in linksys that can do the job?

    I think Linksys offers routers with USB connection for wired and wireless file sharing only, not USB printing. Wireless printing is also supported provided that it will connect to the router via ethernet port or wireless adapter.

  • ASA 5505 Connected To Linksys Router

    Hello, I have a cable modem internet connection and my cable modem is connected to an ASA 5505.  The inside interface of the ASA has an IP address of 192.168.2.2 and is connected to a Linksys router's internet port which has an IP address of 192.168.2.1.  The Linksys router then has a local area network of 192.168.1.0 and all my clients are on that network.  Everything is working fine except in my ASA logs all the traffic shows up as the router's external address which is 192.168.2.1.  I would like to see the 192.168.1.x address of the clients in the ASA firewall.  I've tried making some changes to the Linksys router but that hasn't resolved it.  Is there any changes I can make on the ASA to get this to work?   Below is some of the config:

    The Linksys doing NAT is the reason why the ASA sees all the traffic as having source address as 192.168.2.1. The only way for the ASA to see the original 192.168.1.x address is to change the Linksys to not do NAT.
    One thing that I notice is that there is not a route statement in what you posted for the 192.168.1.0 network. It is not clear whether the route does exist and you did not post it or whether the route does not exist. But if it does not exist it would certainly be a reason why you lose Internet connectivity when you change the Linksys to not perform NAT. (the ASA would have no knowledge of how to forward to the network and would drop all the traffic). Try adding the route to the ASA and changing the Linksys to not perform NAT and let us know if it works.

  • Lighting fried my Ethernet port

    A Lightning strike fried my Router and Ethernet Port.
    I've bought and new asdl router and this works with my laptop.
    I've done a hardware test on my desktop g4 and everything appears fine. Using both the 'System Profile' and 'Hardware Test' the ethernet hardware is visible i.e. it tells me I have "built-in ethernet" and that nothing is awry. Connecting the g4 to the router with a new cable no light turns on indicating that a conection is made and the network preferences on the g4 state "The cable for Built-in Ethernet is not plugged in."
    Has anybody replaced the physical port for their built in ethernet?
    Or do I just buy myself an Scsi ethernet card and plug this in?
    Are there any command line tools for diagnosing the status of the ehternet port with more detail than "the cable isn't plugged in'?
    cheers, ewan.

    Many UPS models have an RJ-45 that you want to use for wired connections between the modem and router/switch. Even if you have a surge protector on your phone line before it gets to the modem (and you should) it still lets through more than is safe.
    Just add a PCI ethernet card. Take a look on www.xlr8yourmac.com
    or www.macwireless.com has them also.

  • Ethernet port on 2010 iMac won't operate at Gigabit speed, but requires router to be set at 100 Base-T.

    For almost a month I have been experiencing internet connection dropouts with my vDSL line, which had previously been stable for about six weeks since I changed ISP. I have an initially wired setup, from the router to my Time Capsule WAN port and from there to my 27" iMac Ethernet port. I bought new Cat 6 cables on setup.
    During the router setup I was advised to set the active port at the Gigabit setting. Finally having discounted all other possibilities, the router manufacturer support engineer suggested I reset this back to the default 100 Base-T setting: and this has resulted in a stable connection once more.
    Surely my iMac should offer functionality at Gigabit Ethernet transfer speeds? Otherwise the Airport home network is dependent on what my computer's Ethernet port can manage.

    If you Google for non Flash speed test site you will find at least two, I have no idea how good they are hence not putting any links in the post.
    As for pin pointing the problem, the only way I know short of having access to the internals of the router and TC including firmware source and test equipment is by producing the fault and swopping the various pieces of equipment out. Having access to the internals is way beyond anything I can do and swopping the parts out seems expensive.
    From past experoence of Gigabit issuses I had it was usually down to cabling or faulty connections in the RJ45  sockets, this was quite common. As for the incompatibilty, one way to test is to put a 1Gb switch between the router and the TC.
    I would not presume either the router or cable are good until proved.
    There is always the possiblity that more than one piece of equipment is faulty, rare but I I have had it happen before.
    Not a lot else I can say, perhaps someone else as more thoughts and can help.

  • Bridging AX from Linksys WRT54G Router using Linksys ethernet port

    My Linksys Router's wireless died. Since I need a wired connection (more reliable), I bought the AE hoping I could connect the AE to the Linksys and have the AE provide wireless access for my Mac. I set up the AE in Bridge Mode; however, there's no internet access.
    The Linksys is providing my internet gateway.
    AE Internet Setup Tab
    Connect using Ethernet
    Config. IPv4 - Using DHCP
    Ethernet WAN Port - Automatic (Default)
    Connection Sharing - Off (Bridge Mode)
    The AE will work connected directly to my Linksys Cablemodem; however, I would lose my ethernet cability if I operated the AE this way.
    If any other settings are necessary, I can provide them.

    Never mind - I found something on Macoshints forum. All I had to do was change the DHCP setting to Manual on the AX and enter the DNS addresses when the AX prompted me to. Now I can access the internet.

  • 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???

    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?

  • Can I use the Airport Express to connect to a Linksys Wireless Network and then use the Ethernet port on the Airport for a wired connection to a device for internet access?  Would I be able to then also use that Ethernet pt to a Ntwk Hub for more wired c

    Thanks for the help.  Looked but not clear on what I am trying to do as being possible.  Can I use an Airport Express to connect wireless to a Linksys Wireless Router, such that I can then use the Ethernet ports on the Airport to either connected to a PC wired, or even use a hub off the Airport Express to allow multiple wired connections to it? 
    I am not looking to have the Airport Express extend my wireless network, just connect to it and provide me wired connections in a different location from where my Linksys Route is located.  Would prefer to replace Linksys with all Apple, but just not possible financially yet.  Thanks for the help.

    If the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is an 802.11n model, then yes, you can reconfigure it as a wireless Ethernet bridge. In this configuration, the AX would join the wireless network provided by the Linksys router and its Ethernet port would be enabled for either a single wired device or for an Ethernet hub or switch for multiple devices.

    How you have connected your Modem and Router? Make sure the Modem is connected to your Linksys Router on the Internet Port.
    The IP address which you are getting it on your Wireless Network Connection is an invalid IP address, i feel you must be getting that ip address directly from your Modem.
    Connect the Modem to Router on Internet Port, then connect your computer to the linksys router on the LAN Port 1. Then on your computer do ipconfig and check whats the IP address on your Local Area Connection, It should be in this range 192.168.1.xxx.Once you get this IP address you can login to the setup page of your Router and make the necessary changes.

  • HELP PLEASE !!! Can't get Linksys router to work.

    Okay, I am a new owner of an Alu-imac 2.4 ghz !!!!!!
    Installed Leopard last night and wanted to get my internet set up and ……. IT DIDN'T WORK !!!!!!!!
    The Diagnostic thing wouldn't recognize my internet.
    (Info for you):
    1) I have an Linksys wireless router that is right behind the computer. I have to have a router for my 360 and my PS3 across the room. So I had the cable internet modem hooked to the wireless router and then to the computer. (just like it was hooked up to my PC)
    2) I tried everything I could think of to get it to work. The diagnostic show that the Ethernet had a green light, but it would not let me online at all.
    3) So then I tried unplugging the modem and the router and still nothing. (It gets stuck on the page where it asks "do you use a cable modem, if so please restart it and then hit continue") And still nothing.
    4) So then I tried to just run the internet straight from the cable modem to the imac, and this didn't work either….. Then for some reason like a 1/2 later the network settings brought up the IP and everything and I had internet.
    5) *But I need my Linksys router to be used !!!!* Is there any advice any of you can give me !!! I can call Linksys if I need to when I get off work, but I thought maybe some of you could help me first. *I did have to call Linksys before I could get the router to work on my old PC as well*, so maybe it's something with them ????
    HELP PLEASE !!!! I want to love my Imac so much.
