@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.)

  • 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.
      http://support.actiontec.com/doc_files/MI424WR_Rev(all)_Wireless_Networking_Guide.pdf
    One of the channels (1, 6 & 11) will allow both to function fine.  

  • Linksys wireless router G problem with ASUS Eee PC 1000H laptop

    This is a new laptop with a Ralink rt2860 chipset. Problem: I have trouble connecting to the router at my office. When I can connect, I often get such a low connection speed that the signal drops out and I lose the connection entirely. I have no trouble connecting to other routers. ASUS tech support says this is not a problem with the laptop. The rep told me that some "older" routers have a problem recognizing the Ralink chipset. Logically, if I can connect but it drops out, does this indicate a need for a signal booster? Does anyone know about any related compatibility issues? Thanks for any help; this is driving me nutty!

    I know just enough to be dangerous. How is the change the channel on the router changed? Sounds like a system administrator job...

  • 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
    Network Spec's
    - 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!

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Problem connecting MBP to established Linksys wireless network

    just got MBP 2.16 (my first mac!). Having trouble connecting to my established linksys wireless network. I have the BEFW11S4 (V.2) etherfast wireless access point + cable router with 4 port switch. Currently have 128 encryption enabled. The linksys router is broadcasting its ID (I can see "linksys" on my mac) but it seems to not accept the password. I tried entering the 26 WEP key, the passphrase, the WEP key in quotes, the WEP after a $ sign... all to no avail. please APPLE community, help out a mac noobie before i have to turn back to Bill Gates....

    To find the IP address or the status, go to system Preferences then network. It will show you the status of any internet connections. You should see one for Airport, it will either show a green light and say 'Airport is connected to the internet' (or something like that) or a red light and say 'Airport is is active but not connected' (something like that). If you double click on Airport or click 'Configure' you will see tabs, click on TCP/IP and it will show all of your details including your IP address.
    As for the other, it always refers to wireless networks as 'Airport' and that response is the standard response from a Mac.
    the password should be typed in the hex section, not sure about the $ sign. I've never had to do that before. But if you can't connect even with no encription then I would think it is another problem. I would turn off the encription until you can at least get connected and then you can worry about the security afterwards.

  • Problems with Linksys Wireless-B Adapter

    I was wondering if anyone had any problems setting up a wireless network using their MSI Neo2 Platinum. I currently have a linksys wireless adapter connected to mine, and there is no wireless signal being received by the adapter. The adapter is getting power, and is detected by XP, but there is no signal. I tried moving the computer closer to the router, but to no avail. I currently have the PCI card connected to the network PCI slot, but before I had it in one of the others. Made no difference really.
    I called linksys and that didn't work. The same card works in a biostar board that my sister's computer has, and works perfectly there. I can't seem to find the problem so now I'm going to go ahead and blame it on this wonderous motherboard :P. System specs if you need it:
    Processor: FX-55
    Motherboard: MSI Neo2 Platinum
    Memory: Corsair TwinX1024 PC3200
    Hard Drives: 2 Seagate Barracuda's 120 GB (each) SATA
    What's wrong?! Thx in advance for the help.

    My son hooked up a Linksys 2.4 GHz Broadband Router to my Yahoo DSL modem. My Mac computer operates on OS 10.2.8 and my son's computer is a PC laptop. Everything was working fine until I my desktop screen went blank. I reinstalled everything and attempted to install Yahoo DSL. While I could not operate DSL on my Mac, my son was able to use the internet on his PC laptop. I disconnected the router and reloaded Yahoo DSL software and it works, but my son can't use the internet now. Recently Microsoft discontinued support Internet Explorer (IE) for Mac computers. Do you think I need to re-install IE on my computer even though I don't use it? When I installed Yahoo DSL, the Yahoo DSL icon never reappeared. All I do now is click on Firefox, Netscape, or Safari to get on the internet.

  • 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!

    Welcome to the Forum
    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 card problems

    Just today, I purchased the new Airport Extreme and hooked up the wireless network to my iMac. My roommate has a PC with a new Linksys wireless card. When trying to access the iternet using the Airport Etreme, it gives an error saying that 'Cannot associate with the access point'.
    Our neighbor has an unsecured wireless connection and she can use that just fine. How can we get her onto our own wireless network?
    Thanks!

    Per chance to you have your AX configured to NOT broadcast its "Network Name?" (Note: In the PC world, this would also be called the SSID.) If so, I would re-enable it so that it does.
    As the issue is most likely Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC) on your PC, I would try the following:
    o In the WZC menu, remove all of the preferred networks, and then, restart the PC.
    o With the AX configured for WPA Personal, add back the AX's network as your preferred network.
    Did WZC find the AX's network? If not, can it find any networks in the local area? If it did not find the AX's network, did it allow you to add it? Can you PC connect to any other wireless network?

  • 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

  • Wireless access issue on 1 of 2 laptops

    I have a WRT54G router. I have an Apple G5 desktop wired to the router. I also have an Apple G4 latop that operates wirelessly
    without any problems. I was just issued an XP laptop from work. I have verified and re-verified the wep key. My XP machine sees the network but can't access it. I also verified that the mac address for the wireless card is on my pc list. I am sure that the problem is so simple but I just can't see it.

    Did you ever get an answer to your problem I have a similar one with an older wireless router and Broadcom on XP.  I have two other XP devices using Intel Pro Wireless and they both work fine.  Spent an hour with Compaq tech support and with Linksys with no answers

  • Conflict with Linksys Wireless C

    I've recently installed a Linksys Wireless Networking WMP54G card in my desktop and apparently it is conflicting with my Audigy 2 Soundblaster card (i.e. each works fine by itself, but the system keeps re-booting if they are installed together and won't boot into Windows XP at all).
    I'm using Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2 and Linksys tech support has been no help at all, simply telling me it's an OS issue and there's nothing they can do. I already tried manually assigning IRQ numbers to each of the PCI slots in the BIOS, but that doesn't seem to have done anything, since when I view "System Information" in windows, the IRQ for both the Linksys card and the Audigy are changed to IRQ 7 (instead of 0 & , as I had manually assigned in the bios).
    Does anyone know if there's a way to change the IRQ setting on the Soundblaster Audigy 2 card, so that it doesn't conflict with my Linksys card? Or, alternati'vely, is anyone familiar with any XP settings that I can change to get XP to assign a different IRQ to the Soundblaster card?
    At least a link to any possible information would be very much appreciated. It's been three days now of trying to get these two cards to work together and I'm about to throw the whole thing out a second story window!
    Thanks!
    :angry:

    check your bios if the option Plug&play os is enabled.
    This because Linksys is right, windows handles the irq/dma sharing automatically.
    And as you experience not always the right way.
    Maybe you can move one of the two cards in another pci-slot(move them as far as possible away from each other(Linksys+Creative card).
    i guess you can better contact M$...(if you've a legal windows).
    Or try a Linux boot cd(li've cd linux that runs from cd like knoppix). Because if you've the same problem with a linux li've cd then it must be a hardware issue, if it works fine with Linux Li'veCd then it's a Windows issue like Linksys try to explain.
    knoppix li've CD: (download image and burn it to cd-r, then start computer(boot) with this cd-r in it)
    http://www.knopper.net/knoppix-mirrors/index-en.html
    oh "and I'm about to throw the whole thing out a second story window!" advise: throw the soundcard away!

  • Linksys WAG120N DSL light problem

    Hi!
    Yesterday I bought the  Linksys Wireless-N Home ADSL2+ Modem Router WAG120N (Annex-A version). I configured the modem/router and it was working very well. Today I was surfing the internet just fine and I left my computer for a few minutes, when I came back I noticed that there is no internet connection. The internet light on the modem was no longer on, and the DSL one was blinking. I turned off the device and then turned it back on but the issue was still present. I tried restoring the factory default settings and configuring the modem again but nothing seems to help (resetting the modem, turning off every device connected to it and restarting the modem/router). The DSL light keeps blinking, turns off for a couple seconds and then starts blinking again. The internet light only appears when I restart the modem and it flashes red just after turning the device on. I thought that there may be an issue with my ISP, but I connected my previous modem and it works just fine. I have no idea what's going on. What's really weird is that it was working just fine yesterday and today nothing seems to help. Do you guys have any ideas what may be the problem here?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    fter spending hour's/days/weeks on reconfiguring/reflashing, checked with ISP side etc. I read numourous blogs/message, contacted Cisco/Linksys . Even I reflashed with thrid party firmware like Tomato, OpenWRT. Nothing worked. Even every message says better to throw this useless product.
    Finally, I make a decisision to work on two options.
    1. reflash with router with backward version - V1.00.12.(Just google you would find it from unauthorised sources)
    2. If it doesn't work then throw the product in dustbin.
    Believe me the option 1 worked and from last 2 weeks, I haven't faced any disconnection. And every device Xbox, Smart TV, smart phone is working with expected internet speed.
    I would keep this configuration/firmware till it works and if same issue occur then opt for option 2.
    I would recommend everyone to opt for option 1. It would really solve your problem. Otherwise you know the second option very well.
    All the best.
