Linksys Wireless Camera issues

When i install my linksys wireless Wvc80n wirelss camera I lose my wireless connection on my laptop to the internet itermittently until I unplug the camera then its back to normal.

That sounds, Most likely,  a wireless signa issue.
You can change that in the router.   open a browser, and go to http://192.168.1.1
user name is admin.  and the password is most likely the serial number found on the service tag of your VZ router unless you changed it. Once you login succesfully, go to the top and hit wireless, then on the left basic security.   then go to option 3 which is channel  1, 6 and 11 and are the only channels you should try.
So it will likely be set to auto, change it to 11 and put the check for keep settings even after reboot (Directly under the channel) and then hit apply.  after you hit apply,  test your connection out, if you notice a difference, leave it like that until the problem happens again, and if it happens again, go back into the router, and try channel 6,     test it out.  and then finally 1 if the first two don't work.
Also take a look at page 2 of Actiontec's Wireless PDF File.  It gives you some idea's with regards to position and orientation of where the router sits and how it can best be positioned for maximum coverage.

One of the channels (1, 6 & 11) will allow both to function fine.

  • New AE and Linksys wireless cameras (in over my head?)

    I had a linksys wap and no issues opening ports for the external DDNS service to view the linksys camera outside of the network/via any internet connection.
    now, on the AE, how do i open a port (1012) to allow the external DDNS service to see that device (it is on a static IP address).
    I have no issue viewing the camera through the wirless network when on/in the local network - it's the port opening to the outside world... how do i set it up???

    You'll need to forward port 1012 to the static IP that you have. Do that by going through Airport Utility/Manual Setup/Advanced/Port Mapping. See this as an example:

    @rishiforum
    Can you get online directly to the router? If you can, you may configure the router by following the steps below.
    1. Connect the Cable modem to the router’s WAN or Internet port.
    2. Connect a computer to any of the numbered ports (1, 2, 3 or 4). If you are using a wireless computer, you will need to connect it first with an Ethernet cable.
    3. Connect the power adapter of your router to the power outlet. (NOTE: After connecting the devices together, check the lights on the front panel of the router. Ensure that the lights corresponding to the ports where the Ethernet cables are connected to are lit.)
    4. Access the router’s web-based setup page. Open any web browser such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Chrome or Safari. Enter “192.168.1.1” on the Address bar then press [Enter].
    5. You will then be asked for your login details. Leave the User name field blank and enter “admin” on the Password field then click OK. (NOTE:  If you have received an error message after typing your router’s password, this means that the password entered is incorrect.  Try accessing the router’s web-based setup page again and enter the correct password.  If you lost or forgot your router's password, click here to know steps on how to reset the router to factory settings.)
    6. On the Setup tab, click the MAC Address Clone.
    7. Select Enabled then click on Clone My PC’s MAC.
    8. Click Save Settings. (NOTE: NOTE:  Ensure that the Internet Connection Type is set to Automatic Configuration – DHCP.)

  • WRT54GS and Wireless cameras

    I'm a network idiot so please bear with me. Our office has a Cicso uBR400 router provided by RoadRunner with 5 static addresses. RR has locked down the configuration of this router, can't access it or view the settings at all. From that we have a WRT54GS wireless router utilizing one of the static addresses. All other static addresses are assigned to employee desktops. We want to install Linksys wireless cameras since we've been having vandalism problems. The cameras install ok and if I highjack a static ip, can be viewed from anywhere. However, if I let the WRT assign an address through DHCP the assigned address is outside the subnet of the other machines in the office and cannot be viewed. Ideally, we'd like to be able to VPN into one of the static machines and attach to the cameras to look around if an alarm is raised. So...I have tried various ways of setting up port forwarding, DMZ, DHCP settings, just about everything I can think of or find in these forums. How do I get the dynamic addresses assigned by the DHCP on the WRT to be seen from the static IP desktops? Thanks.

    You can try these settings :
    Provide different ports to different cameras in your network for ex: if one is working on 1024 ,then assign another port 1025 and so on.
    So that the DHCP of router will provide different Ip address to all devices & you can login to camera using static WAN public Ip.
    You have to login using address http://wanpubliciport no.
    From other desktop you can use the same format of address to view camera from outside the network.

  • Issues with Deskjet 5650 and Linksys wireless print server.

    I have a iMac DP 1.8, a iMac G3 700 mhz running Tiger and a Toshiba laptop running XP and I am on a wireless network. I use a Linksys WRT54G router for the wireless and I am using a Linksys WPS54G wireless printserver to connect an HP Deskjet 5650 to the network. This was all working fine for the past 2 months until Monday evening when the Mac's lost connection to the printer. However the Toshiba can print to it just fine.
    I cannot for the life of me figure out what happened. The iMac DP recently had a security update for intel installed this past Monday, but no updates have been installed on the G3 iMac. I have contacted Apple, HP and Linksys and they have been no help at all. Apple says it's a Linksys issue, Linksys says it's Apple issue and HP is just cluless. I would appreciate any assistance offered.
    Thanks

    Paul, I am amazed you were ever able to print via the Linksys wireless server on your mac. I have the identical router and print server, and only the Windows PC's on my wireless network have been able to share the printer on that wireless server. I've been unable to find a driver for my iMac, and could never get the iMac to find the server. Finally gave up and bought an HP 2600n color laser and connected it directly to the iMac via USB. You're right about lack of help from Linksys. There is an Apple folder under "unsupported" on the print server installation CD, but there's nothing helpful in there.

  • Issues with my Mac Mini & a Linksys Wireless Network

    I have Linksys WRT54GS router hooked up to a Sprint DSL modem. Attached to the router is my homemade PC a Pentium 4 3.06 GHz HT with a Linksys wireless card installed, another homemade AMD computer connected via Ethernet, and I am attempting to get my Mac Mini on board too. The network is set to 128 Bit WEP security with a password. Both of the PCs are connected fine getting good speeds. My issue is that on the Mac when I attempt to connect it does one of the following things: (1) deems my password as invalid, (2) says there is "an error joining (network name)", (3) when I change the WEP Personal to WEP 40/128-bit hex will not allow me to type more than one character, or (4) when I change the WEP Personal to WEP 40/128-bit ACSII it either allows me to type the password and doesn't allow me to press OK or won't allow me to type a password at all. I did not attempt the LEAP because I don't know of a User name, just a password. Any suggestions on this dilema? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I found my Macs prefer using WPA encryption and they do this with ease. I had loads of issues when I first set up the LinkSys and attempted to use WEP, besides WPA is a lot more secure.

  • Linksys Wireless Internet Video Camera on Airport Extreme

    Aloha. I have a Linksys Wireless Internet Video Camera and am trying to set it up at home. I have an Airport Extreme network at home. The manual the came with the camera is for windows setup. Is there any way to setup up my camera on my network? All my computer at home are all Macs. Please help. Mahalo (Thank You)!

    Thanks for answering and letting me know that. Linksys should let their sellers know that. I asked them if it'll work with Mac and they answer was yes, all you need is a browser. Thanks for letting me know.

  • My iPad will no longer connect to my Linksys wireless router.  Every other electronic device in our house connects just fine.  What can I do?

    I have an iPad (the earliest version) that used to connect to my Linksys wireless router with no difficulty.  One night recently I could not get on the internet through my iPad.  I checked the Wi-Fi information, which said it was not connected.When I go through the process of choosing a network, on which my home system is clearly listed along with a very strong signal strength, I am told that my iPad is unable to join my own network.  All the other electronic devices in our house are connected and functioning fine.  Can anyone walk me through the steps to correct this problem?
    I need to add that I took my iPad to the Appple store, and the clerk there reset something--I don't know what--and my iPad was able to connect to their network.  When I came home, though, I was not able to connect to my home network.

    If everything else is connecting with no issues, I would go into the wifi setting on the iPad and redo the info there, user, password and anything else related to your wifi at your house.
    It is possible whatever he reset may have reset something to default setting which will not allow it to connect. If you need too then verify the wifi setting by comparing it with another device setting that works on your home network.
    Good luck

  • Problems with my LinkSys wireless routers since getting AT&T u-verse

    I recently installed AT&T u-verse. Every since it's hit or miss on whether I can connect to my two linksys wireless routers. Sometimes it connects fine but other times I can try for hours and never obtain an IP address. I never have a problem connecting to the 2wire wireless router which was installed when u-verse was installed but it doesn't have coverage for my whole house.
    The AT@T tech says the 2Wire has problems with routers being configured behind their router??? He said that I need to set my Linksys wireless routers up as access points???
    Anyone have any suggestions on what to try? Anyone else have issues like this after u-verse was installed?
    Thanks

    I've had AT&T U-verse since March, and I wish it wasn't the best option in my area. I have been through 3 of those 2-Wire Gateways and as best I can track down it's that DHCP Server. I have a BEFSR41v3 (and yes, I am NOT using the WAN port, just the switch at IP 192.168.1.10) and a WAP54G (IP 192.168.1.11) using WPA2-PSK and have been using for years now. AT&T tried telling me it was my wireless devices, which strangely enough worked PERFECTLY fine on my Linksys hardware with the same SSID/Key when I was with TWC. My wireless devices would work fine for a while, then gradually start having problems until by 2 weeks they are completely unable to negotiate an IP from the DHCP. Called AT&T, they reset the gateway, and everything works for 2 more weeks. Most my computers (wired or WiFi) are manually IP configured. Only my laptop (also used on a college WiFi) and visitors use the DHCP server (and the AT&T Boxes).  THUS far I've been reasonably successful by limiting the AT&T Gateway to 3 addresses for my Boxes, letting it issue them to the TV's, then adding my linksys router (ignoring the WAN port and using DHCP on with an allocation of 15 addresses) and setting the Linksys WAP to the #4 port. This weird setup now gets short lasting fits in the form of "Limited Connectivity" for my WiFi devices using Dyamic IP.  It can still access the LAN perfect, only that device has no Internet Access, and Windows says i'm being blocked by a Firewall. It self resolves in a few minutes without me doing anything and it MIGHT come once or so a month, or until they run another update which seems to ALWAYS reset that gateway (I've given up changing the password and now keep a txt on every system since it seems to reset at least monthly). A few days ago it's started giving me IP conflicts that disappeared within 1-2 minutes, which is odd since it is my manual IP's getting the conflicts... It did that for 2 days then hasn't since.
    Currently I'm wired as...
    AT&T Gateway 192.1681.254 w/ 3 DHCP range 1.160-163, WiFi disabled, and 3 LAN ports to 2 TV's and my BEFSR41
    BEFSR41 192.168.1.10 w/ 15 DHCP range 1.60-74, WAN port unused, 4 LAN ports to 1 Desktop, 2 unmanaged Netgear 1000 switches, and 1 to the WAP
    WAP54G 192.168.1.11 with it's gateway set to 192.168.1.10 
    1 Netgear switch provides wired access for the entertainment center (PS3, DVD player, DVR, etc) and open ports for visitors
    Other Netgear switch is upstairs and runs to 2 additional desktops and one more cable box...
    All my wired NICs are set to a 1.2x address and all configured WiFi devices (Wii and a pair of Android phones) i have on a 1.3x.
    Manual IP with a 255.255.255.0 mask and gateway 192.168.1.254, manually entering the DNS from the gateway's Broadband Details page 
    As far as I've been able to test and observe, that gateway is tempermental (and intermittent so tech support can't EVER find a problem conveniently) with anything using the DHCP other than the cable boxes. My manual set devices have had no problems other than that strange IP conflict that popped up on 3 computers, bugged me 2 days, then just never came back (also ironically the monday i was going to call a tech support about it)
    I've attempted to disable the DHCP entirely from the gateway and only use my Linksys DHCP. That seemed to work for a few hours untill, i'm guessing, the leases expired. Then all 3 TV's stopped. Everything getting it's IP manually or from the Linksys continued just fine, internet and all. The cable boxes only returned when i re-activated the 2-Wire's DHCP Server.
    I would like to try using the Linksys router to isolate my LAN (and everything else i can) from that 2-Wire with a cascade, just link across on a single static IP to dodge that DHCP, but i havn't been able to get the cablebox upstairs to work off the Linksys DHCP. Even then, I'm not sure how i can get a network split to work. If i only isolated the DHCP over my WiFi, they would still at least loose file-sharing with the my File/Media/Backup PC downstairs. Move that to the other side, then the PC's upstairs loose access. As is it's MOSTLY stable though, i just have to pull apart the gateway and cut down it's DHCP range so my devices will actually get an IP from my linksys. If i don't take away the 2-wires, i still get a high IP fail rate. It would be great if i'm overlooking some way to force all DHCP IP requests -OTHER- than the cable boxes to get their IP from the Linksys and not the 2-Wire
    Far as jdaley, I havn't tried to set a cascade since I'm having problems figuring out a means to isolate the boxes (and 2-wire) away from the LAN since one box is upstairs sharing a single cable with the computers there. Someone else seemed to report a success that way. If not that, then only other thing I can think of might be to just manually set all your WiFi IP addresses by hand
    Thanks for any other ideas on dodging this 2-Wire's DHCP I'd really appreciate it. I'm really hoping i'm just overlooking something SIMPLE.

  • Trouble setting up wireless cameras with airport extreme

    I am trying to set up my alarm dot com wireless cameras and am having trouble getting them to connect to my Airport Extreme. With my prior D-Link router, there was no issue, but since upgrading to the Extreme, I can get them to locate the network, but not connect.

    Add me to the list of people with Netgear DM111P ADSL modem and AEBS(n)...I can connect fine to the internet directly from MB Pro to modem, and for the last couple months have used the Netgear with my trusty AEX, no problem.
    Now I finally get my AEBS from Canada (here in Dubai, UAE) and I have wasted hours trying to get on the internet with the AEBS. I have it configured exactly the same as the AEX is! One works fine, the other not at all. Exasperating.
    I am using the Netgear with PPPoA Bridging (the correct setting for the ISP here and what works with the AEX and direct connection). The AEBS shows it is getting the IP correctly and has a solid green light. My MB Pro shows it is getting an IP from the AEBS's DHCP server. And shows entries for the DNS servers.
    Yet..no internet. From the number of complaints with this exact same setup...it ain't me...I have used and configured over a dozen routers and modems from all major manufacturers, used DSL/ADSL/cable, PPPoe, PPPoA, etc etc...and I'm stumped.
    This is NOT a typical Mac product. I am not happy. If someone figures this out, you will have my admiration.

  • Sharing Linksys Wireless Print Server with MAC and PC - How to do?

    I have lost the capability to share a printer on my network by using the Linksys Wireless Print Server-model number WPS54G -V2. Prior to having to return my previous Print Server on an RMA, I was able to use the MAC and PCs on my network. I have a PowerGook G4 with MacOS X 10.4.10. I also have a Airport Extreme Base Station V5.6. The printer on the network that is being shared is an Epson Stylus Photo 820. Recently, when trying to reconfigure the network, I updated the software on the Airport Extreme...so I think after that, I am no longer able to share this printer using current network configuration. As information, I will share how I got the network to share the printer BEFORE I had to replace the previous Print Server and BEFORE I updated the Airport Extreme. Please see this link:
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050406151311940
    Even though this was for a different type of Print Server, this worked for me.
    When reconfiguring the new Print Server, I contacted Linksys...as had some difficulty until I found out how to assign a static IP to the new Print Server. When trying to talk to them about the Mac issue, and sharing the printer, they shared this link with me...which may be helpful to some, but I found that this does not work for me...
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060404021600193
    I have been trying to work through the issue, but feel I may now have some compatibility issues between the Airport Extreme and the Epson printer.
    Further details are that I use 10.0.1.78 for the assigned IP address for the Print server. My router (which is the Airport address) is 10.0.1.1. I have tried IPP printing option, LPD printing option...and IPP printing at least returns a status on the Print Server as "printing" as opposed to "idle". I have checked the Print status on the Mac, and I have received two (2) different error messages as to why the print job failed. They are:
    "the process "picwpstops" stopped unexpectedly with status 1"
    and
    "the process "rastertoprinter" stopped unexpectedly with status 1"
    The latter happens when I follow the instructions on the second link I attached on this topic...with the only change being that I select IPP printing as opposed to LPD printing.
    Anyone that has any insight into HOW to configure the mysterious settings for Mac OS printing so that it can be compatible with a Wireless Print Server, please feel free to comment. In the meantime, I am thinking that the links above could help some people...just not me at this point given my current configuration and versions of software/firmware and perhaps the printer I am using.
    Greatly appreciate your consideration, and any suggestions to anyone that might understand what these error messages mean when checking the printer status after sending a file for printing.
    Thank you

    1. No, you don't have to make a bootable clone.
    2. If you use the drive for a bootable backup, then you cannot use the drive for other types of storage unless you partition the drive and make more than one volume.
    3. No, it will not try to boot the computer. You must designate the startup volume using Startup Disk preferences.
    If you wish to use the drive on both a Mac and a PC, then either you make two partitions - one for Mac and the other for the PC or you must format the entire drive using FAT32 so the drive can be used for read//write by both operating systems. If you do this then you cannot use the drive for a bootable backup nor can you use it with Time Machine.
    FAT32 is slower for read/write on the Mac than using Mac formatting.
    Optimally, I would suggest you partition the drive into two volumes. One volume formatted for the Mac and the other formatted FAT32.
    You can send files from a PC to a Mac and vice-versa using File Sharing. Select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "file sharing" or "sharing" to find help articles. Also see,

  • How do I set up WRT54G router with 4 computers and WVC54GC Wireless Camera

    Can anyone please tell me how to set up my Home Network with full security turned on?
    I have at least 4 neighbors that show up on my wireless connections list. I have a daughter that loves music and is constantly downloading viruses but only on one wireless connection. The rest of us want to be protected from that computer. My system consists of the following:
    One Linksys WRT54G Router
    Two Linksys WMP54G Wireless PCI adapters,
    Two Linksys WVC54GC Wireless Cameras  (Possibility four if the 1st two ever work OK.)
    Two Linksys LNE100TX PCI Ethernet Cards,
    One HP Ethernet Printer
    Three computers were connected by Ethernet cable and one was wireless. I did not change the admin password and I thought everything was working fine for a couple of years until I found that the wireless computer was acting as a “drone” and slowing everything down to a snails pace.  It could even turn itself on.
    I changed one of the Ethernet computers to wireless and decided that it might be time to also change the password and increase security.  Setting up security completely shutdown the wireless drone computer. I was OK with that, at least until I can reformat that harddrive.
    I then decided while I was at it, I would add a wireless camera (WVC54GC). I set it up using the software and Ethernet cable that came with it. After 6 tries I finally got the camera to work with the cable attached, but it does not work wireless and now none of the other computers connect any more. Is there a limit on how many connections? Should I reset the router and if so, do I disconnect the DSL modem? I’m afraid of the “drone” computer because I found some very bad malware on it. One in particular caused me to replace a hard drive.
    I’ve read page after page of network stuff on the Internet and I guess I just don’t know how to ask the right questions. I’m tired of fooling with this.

    hi , when u talk about security , are u referring to the "viruses" your daughters PC may be propogating to the rest of the network , or are u referring to external attacks on the router or your wireless PC"s ???
    In case u are referring to the "virus" attacks , the best you can do is install a good antivirus software on all PC"s and keep the virus definations updated....
    In case u are referring to the wireless security , i'd suggest that your use WPA2 personal. you can select WPA2 by going to the "wireless security" option.
    let me know if u need anything more.

  • Not getting e-mails from wireless cam in Windows 8 Mail App

    Please forgive me if this is not being asked in the correct forum.  I could not find another place that seemed to fit.  Feel free to move it if necessary.
    I have two Linksys Wireless IP Cameras.  Both are configured to detection motion and send an e-mail with 5 pictures to my Live.com e-mail address.
    This configuration has been working for over 1 year and works.  To verify, I get e-mails from the both cameras when I use Internet Explorer and login to http:// mail.live.com  with my live.com (aka Hotmail) email account.
    I upgraded to Windows 8, logged on the very first time with my Microsoft Live account.  From all appearances, it looks like the Windows 8 Mail App was configured to use my live.com e-mail account.  There are message there that I see when I login via
    Internet Explorer.
    The problem is, I never ever get any of the emails that were sent from my Wireless Cameras in the Windows 8 Mail app.
    If I sign in to my live.com email account via Internet Explorer those messages are there.  As a test, while I was looking at one of my emails via Internet Explorer, I forwarded it to myself.  That message with pictures and all did arrive in the Windows
    8 Mail app.
    So, does anyone have any ideas why the Windows 8 Mail app does not get the e-mails sent from my Wireless Cameras?
    Thanks,
    Erik

    Normally I do use IE to check my email.  I want to use the new stuff.  Note that the camera is stand alone and not connected to any computers.  It is a wireless IP camera and is configured to send e-mail when it detects motion.  Linksys
    has told me that in general, the camera is compatible with Windows 8 but there are no drivers to plug it in directly to a computer with Window 8.
    You stated that you suspect that the mail app does not support the function.  I'm not sure what you mean by that.  It is a mail application and should present me with any incoming e-mails to my account regardless of where they come from. 
    I know that the camera is working because I can see the message via IE in Windows 8 and in the Mail App on my Windows Phone 7.
    So, if the Windows 8 Mail app does not support the function, why I can view one of the e-mails from my camera using IE in Windows 8 and then forward it to myself at the same e-mail address and then the forwarded message arrives with all the pictures
    attached and is viewable in Windows 8 mail app.
    I have also setup my camera to send e-mail to my work account.  At work we have Exchange and I use Outlook 2010.  I get the messages from the camera in that program without any problems.
    I also get the message using the Windows Phone 7 Mail App.
    I just can't understand why the Windows 8 mail app is ignoring or blocking message that are coming from my cameras.

  • Problem with AE 802.11n when linking to Linksys Wireless G

    I've been reading the posts over the last couple days. It seems like there are a lot of people with the same issue of connecting the new AE n to an existing g network.
    I'm hoping someone has a magic answer before the hard reset button wears out
    The problem after a manual setup
    - "AirPort Utility was unable to find your Apple wireless device after restarting.", AE's signal is then not recognized by Mac
    - continues to Flash amber (it always Flashes amber)
    - hard resetting of AE after each attempt with AirPort Utility 5.3.1, same response after attempt as stated above

    - Linksys Wireless - G ,2.4GHz 802.11g
    - trying to join or extend wireless with the AE 802.11n
    - MacBook 2.2 GHz
    - Signal strength is strong
    - WEP 128-bit, 26 characters hexadecimal password
    - when entering password I've tried hex escapes "$" and "0X" before the password as per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1126
    - AE works fine when creating WPA/WPA2 Personal network, but I need to also sync with PC that I can't upgrade or change from the g configuration
    - I've even returned (& exchanged) one AE n to make sure the unit was not defective
    Think I've covered everything here. Borrowed the last AE g model and it set-up in a second, no problem. I have a simple system... this shouldn't be this difficult?
    Any help would be appreciated!

    I've been reading the posts over the last couple days. It seems like there are a lot of people with the same issue of connecting the new AE n to an existing g network.
    I'm hoping someone has a magic answer before the hard reset button wears out

    - "AirPort Utility was unable to find your Apple wireless device after restarting.", AE's signal is then not recognized by Mac

    Could you clarify this? WPA/WPA2 vs. WEP is about security options, whereas n versus g is about something different (to do with the way the wireless network itself works, I think). At any rate, WPA/WPA2 is not opposed to g - my network is pre-n but uses this form of security.
