Linksys Wireless to Powerbook internet issues!

Heres the setup: Linksys BEFW11S4 wireless B router with a Windows XP desktop as the only pc hooked up to it. I use my powerbook wirelessly. Every time the Windows PC is rebooted, the wireless internet connection to my PB is gone... Until I restart the router. But it's pretty annoying to have to go down two flights of stairs just so I can use the internet on my powerbook upstairs.
What can I do?

Ensure that your internet connection is connected to the Linksys' WAN port and the PC connected to a LAN port.

Linksys Wireless Router - Unusable internet and major packet loss

I installed a Linksys Wireless router at my friend's home and the internet connection is nearly unusable. About 1 in every 10 packets are lost between the router and internet modem. I have replaced this router with a 2 brand new routers of the same make and incurred the same problem (new ethernet cables and new power supplies as well). Even if wireless is disabled on the router, the same problem occurs. Interestingly, I tried a basic non-wireless router and there is no problem whatsoever. Any ideas on what could be causing the wireless routers to not work correctly?

First, connect your system up: EUM3005 -- WRT54GS -- computer. And in the computer, temporarily turn off your software firewall. Does this correct your packet loss problem? If not, then power down your system, and proceed with the following tests, and post your results:
Connect your computer directly to your EUM3005 modem. (Do not use the WRT54GS for this test.) Power up your system, and verify that you have a working Internet connection, then do the following:
In the computer, go to "Start" > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
A black DOS box will appear. Type in "ipconfig /all" (with no quotes), then hit the Enter key. Post all of your results, except post only the first half of your IP address. To copy the results to your post, highlight the data, then use the copy (Ctrl-c) keys and the paste (Ctrl-v) keys.
Next, power down your entire system, then connect the WRT54GS to your EUM3005. Connect your computer to the WRT54GS. Boot up your system. Go into the WRT54GS setup menu (at 192.168.1.1) and ping the EUM3005. Did that work? Next, in the WRT54GS, go to the "Status" tab, "Router" subtab. Look down the page to the area labeled "Internet", then post the following info from the page: "Login type", "IP address", "Subnet mask", "Default Gateway", and "Primary DNS" values, except post only the first half of your IP address.
Is the IP address the same from both tests?

Linksys Wireless WRT610 media server issue, help appreciated.

Since I bought this router, the media server had been working okay.
suddenly one morning it stopped working and giving this message.
Trial expired, please visit http://twonkyvision.com
I called Linksys customer support, (which is not 'engineering dept' by the way, someone in Phillipins)
they had no clue what a UPnP media server is, and what twonky is ?
Linksys routers come preinstalled with twonkyvision media server software, but this one stopped working.
Any help ?

I've been havin the same troubles but i think i might have finally gotten it to work. TwonkyMedia is preinstalled on Linksys WRT610N and the "new" tab they created called "storage" interprets TwonkyMedia's actual media server pages into the Linksys configuration style.
Type in your browser http://your-router-iport/
Just like this http://192.168.0.1:9000/
It takes you to the actual TwonkyMedia setup pages in which Linksys hides from you. Click on the "Clients/Security" link in the left navigation area. I noticed that although it was set to allow new clients automatically, the client table was actually missing my Xbox 360 and PS3 as well as their static ip's.
Once i added them it worked again (cross my fingers). I can't wait until DD-WRT comes out with new custom firmware for this Linksys router. Its been good to me for awhile now but i hope this isn't a start of things going wrong with the router.

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.

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.

LinkSys Wireless Card connects to "Access Point" but no internet connection

I have 2 LinkSys wireless cards. one is 802.11g, the other b. The signal for the Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi Wireless Base Station is very strong, but when I try to connect, it says "You are connected to the access point, but the Internet cannot be found". No internet access, and I can't ping anything (Ping request could not find host...). And of course the printer hooked to the AirPort is also not recognized. My iMac and Macbook both have no problems connecting to the network. There is no problem with ethernet connection to the Airport. Is it possible to have a compatibility problem between the Linksys and Airport hardware? I thought as long as they were were compatible 802.11, they would work together. The cards had no problem with my old DLink router or other hotspots in the city. Is there a set-up I missed for setting up the PC-based cards with the AirPort?

Is your wireless network secured?
The box said windows xp or better... So I installed Linux!

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 Routers and RoadRunner Internet ISP

I have been using a Linksys wireless router for over 2 years now without any problem and then last night I lost total connectivity.
via the Router, I can connect to the modem directly (HardWire) and I am able to get to the internet, but if I try to connect the Wireless router to the Modem and wither wireless or hardwired to the router I can't get any connectivity.
I am at a loss, I even went out and purchased a new Linksys router thinking that the old one went bad.
I get the run around from ISP they said that it's a 3rd party router so they can't tell me anything. And suggest that I just leave the router out.
I am at the end of my rope, any suggestions that would assist.
I am not able to ping anything through the router on the PC, but I can pink from the router to the internet. using the diagnosis option on the router. When I try to fix connection using Windows Vista I get a message that says it can't connect to the DNS Server.
Thank you for your Help

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.

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.

Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift.

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

AirPort and MacBook Pro Internet Issues

I have two unrelated issues with my network set-up.
My ISP is AT&T U-verse, however I use an AirPort Extreme as my main router. The Extreme network is extended by an AirPort Express so that a PC on the far side of my house can receive the connection. In this part of the house, my MacBook Pro can receive the signal, but the PC running Windows 7 with a Linksys Wireless-G USB Adapter will not connect. This is a new problem, as this computer used to be able to connect (but with a weaker signal than my MacBook) up until about two weeks ago.
The second issue is with my MacBook Pro (2011 model running Lion). Sometimes, when the computer wakes from sleep, I am told that my IP address is in use by another device on the network and that I should enter a new IP address (no idea how to do that). I am unable to get on the Internet when this message is displayed and I have to reboot my AirPort Extreme in order to get back online. I think that when my MacBook wakes from sleep, it is being duplicated on the network because once I was told that the Shared name of my computer was already used and that it would change to Anthony's Macbook Pro 2. It also seems to only happen when the MacBook falls asleep while still open.
If it helps, these are the devices connected to my network: MacBook Pro (2011, OS 10.7), iMac (2006, OS 10.6.8), PC (Windows 7), PlayStation 3, Wii, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS
Thanks in advance!

Also, just found out that the two iPhones also will not connect to the Express, just my MacBook.

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.

There is no communication between devices which are connected to Linksys Wireless WAP4410N Access Point ?

Dear all,
     I deployed new Linksys Wireless WAP4410N Access Point and it is working fine. Laptop which is connected to AP can able to access internet. It can able to communicate with AP and also the gateway IP(Router IP) but the issue is wireless devices are not able to communicate between them. In the case LAN device can communicate between wireless devices. Can't able to share files between wireless devices.
     Please help me to troubleshoot this issue. Wat could be the issue over here. Wat step i have to take to clear this issue.
     Advance in thanks.
Thanks and regards,

Under Wireless/Security how do you have the Wireless Isolation configured?
Wireless Isolation (within SSID) should be disabled to allow wireless computers associated to the same SSID to see and transfer files between each other
