Need help adding 2nd laptop to router WRT160N

I need to add another laptop to our home network so it can connect to our internet connection.  The 2nd laptop shows our home network as an available network connection, however, when I try to connect and enter in the key, the computer gives me a message "please wait while windows connects to the xxxxxx network- waiting for the network"  This message stays for approximately 45 seconds then disappears, leaving me at the wireless network connection screen.  I have confirmed the network key is correct. 
I can connect to the internet if I choose an unsecure connection so I am wondering what other items I need to configure.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Yes, those sound like they should be compatible security modes.  
What I'd suggest is to reboot your second laptop and power-cycle the router, see if that helps you to be able to connect both laptops.
If that doesn't help, then write down any configuration data that you'll need to re-enter after resetting the router.  There's a recessed reset switch on the back of your router, hold that in for about 30 seconds and release it.  This will set the router back to factory defaults, so you'll need to re-enter your configuration data using the router web GUI.  Then try again to reconnect with both laptops, and see what happens.  Please post the results from trying these.

  • Need help adding second laptop to network

    Please help.  I am so frustrated.  I setup our new gateway wirelessly using the WRT160N router.  Had to call the help line and they helped me go online and configure the router settings.  Now I am trying to add a second older laptop (HP Pavilion ZE4400).  When I use the disc to install the router info, it stops after it says waiting for the router.  Then I get an error message telling me to restore the router to it's default settings.  I don't want to undo all that I did with support on the phone.  It took forever.  Why can I not install the router software on the HP?  Can someone help me fix this problem?
    Thanks in advance

    If your router is already configured then,do not run the CD on the computer to connect the Wireless Network...Make sure that wi-fi switch is turn ON.
     For XP...Click on Start and goto the Control Panel and double click on Network Connections, Right click on the Wireless Network Connection and click on View Available Wireless Networks and select your Wireless Network and click Connect...Now it will give you the opportunity to put the network/wep key, make sure you enter the correct network key and confirm it...It will connect.
    For Vista...Click Start >> Control Panel >> Network and Sharing Center >>Click on Connect to a Network and select your Wireless Network and click Connect, it should ask for your Network Key/Password, enter the correct password/network key and click Connect...It should connect...Once you are connected you should restart the computer, it should connect to Internet...

  • Need help adding 2nd AExpress to wireless network

    hey peeps, i'm adding my second AE to my system, which contains a Macbook, a wireless DSL modem and another AExpress which is wireless and is connected to a stereo. I am having trouble connecting the 2nd AE to the system. Everytime i try to configure it it asks me if i want to switch networks, which i don't want to do. When i do that i lose my connection. I need to tie the new AE in to my current system.

    Ok, let's double-check the 2nd AX's configuration to join the wireless network provided by the 2wire.
    Temporarily connect AX to your Mac Pro using an Ethernet cable, and then, using the AirPort Utility check the following:
    AirPort > Wireless
    o Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
    o Network Name: <existing 2wire's wireless network>
    o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
    o Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
    Music
    o Enable AirTunes (checked)
    o iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
    o iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
    o Verify Password: (optional)
    o Click Update to write the new settings to the AX
    In iTunes:
    iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
    o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

  • Need help adding 2nd hard drive

     Hey guys whats up. I need some advice about adding a second hard drive. Right now i have a WD 320GB 7200 RPM IDE Ultra ATA100 Hard Drive running on the primary IDE. Everything is fine but i wanted to get a smaller and faster drive for the operating system and for some small video editing. I recently purchaced a Western Digital Raptor 36.7GB 10,000 RPM Serial ATA150 Hard Drive.
    Now the questions:
     1. How should i assing the drives? (which master/slave/cable select)
     2. Also am i going to have to do anything since im going to have one on the IDE and another on SATA?
     3. Any advice that you have...
     What i was thinking is this...i should disconect my current HD and hook up the new one to SATA port 2, and set it to master(or CS maybe). Format it and then install the operating system. Once OS installed and working, ill hook back up the IDE drive and make the setting to slave(or CS maybe). Then uninstall the operating system from the IDE.
    Thanks for any input

    Thanks NovJoe,
     What setting (master/slave/cable select) should i set the IDE drive to? And yes i do want my OS on the raptor.
    Thanks for your advice...didnt think that anyone was going to.

  • Need help adding ports to my router.

    I have a Linksys WRT54GS Router. I am having an issue with Xbox Live and I was told by Xbox customer support to add the ports UDP 88, UDP 3674, and TCP 3074. The problem is is that I have no idea how to do this. I am at the Applications & Gaming tab of the Router page (192.168.1.1), I just don't know where to put the numbers. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    First, setup up a static IP address on the XBOX. I can't tell you how to do that. Check the manual. Currently the XBOX is probably on "automatic IP address" or "DHCP" or whatever they have called it. Set up a static IP address and use these numbers on the XBOX:
    IP Address 192.168.1.50
    Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
    Default Gateway 192.168.1.1
    DNS 192.168.1.1
    If the XBOX has some Status pages to check the current IP address verify that you have those values after the change. Also verify you have a working internet connection on the XBOX.
    Now the port forwarding. I assume it looks something like this demo UI. For port UDP 88 enter
    Application udp88
    Start 88
    End 88
    Protocol UDP
    IP address 192.168.1.50
    Enable SET
    Do similar with all other ports. The application name is only a descriptive text for you. You can enter anything you like, but keep it short and simple and don't use special characters in the name. The above "udp88" is O.K.
    Don't forget to save the settings at the end.

  • Need help adding schedule to xcode 4

    I need help adding a tour schedule for an iphone app building an app for 13 djs and they want thier tour schedules added these need to be updated monthly is there a way to add this????

    I don't know if this is the easiest way but it works for me. I connect the DVD player to my camcorder (so it's the 3 plugs yellow/red/white on one end and a single jack into the camera). Then I connect my camcorder to the computer (I think it's through a firewire port). Then I just play the DVD and the footage is digitized via the camcorder and I import it into iMovie 4 as it's playing. I believe the camcorder is just in VCR mode.
    I have also used this method to transfer VHS tapes onto DVDs via the camera by connecting the VCR to the camera.
    I haven't had much luck with movies over about 40 minutes on iMovie. But if it's home movies, there may be a logical break. Do maybe 20 minute segments (it's also really easy on iMovie to add a soundtrack if these are OLD films with no sound.
    As you can see, I'm low tech!
    Good luck!

  • Need help adding device to Canon ELPH 320 HS

    I just bought a Canon ELPH 320 HS. I am having trouble adding my laptop as a device. I have Windows 8, and I downloaded what I thought was the windows 8 compatible version of Canon Picture Window. All of the settings in my control panel seem to be correct as far as media sharing, etc. 
    Here are the steps I've been taking. Please tell me if I'm doing something wrong. 
    I touch the internet icon 
    Then the computer icon 
    Click Add a device 
    Our wireless connection shows up, so I select that, I enter our network password and 
    then my laptop shows up and I select that. 
    And at this point it says connected to Kelly's Laptop, and has that spinning circle. It takes forever to connect. And then I get a communication error/connection failed error. 
    Please tell me what I'm doing wrong! Thanks!! The wifi was one of the main reasons why I bought this camera. It will be a huge disappointment if it doesn't work. 

    Hi kelly1010!
    The instructions for setting this up also mention needing to make some changes to the Windows Firewall settings.  Certain ICMP Inbound Echo Requests and UPnP services must be enabled.  You mentioned you have been through the necessary Control Panel options already.  Did you also enable these in the Windows Firewall settings?

  • Need Help with Packet Loss and routing Loop perhaps???

    Hi,
    I am running into a very odd situation. One of our highly critical systems (172.18.1.2/16) is losing connection intermittently for brief periods of time (1minute, 3 minute, 50 seconds and so on).
    I have gathered some information that I would like to share with you guys:
    The switch is a 3560 (Show version is in ShowVersion.txt)
    default gateway is 172.18.10.254/16 (virtual IP in an HSRP , packet capture is done on the active node)
    I have noticed that pings to one of the default gateways drop infrequently (more frequently from machines on 172.18.0.0/16) segment.
    total number of machines on 172.18.0.0/16 do not exceed 200
    I have captured packets on Interface Vlan1 and I found something very weird, perhaps pointing to a routing loop??? (see capture.png) The ICMP request comes and hits the 172.18.10.254 with TTL of 128 TWICE! then packet capture shows that same packet with TTL decremented by one TWICE! again and again until it reaches TTL of 1 and then it responds with a reply.
    At times it completely ignores the requests and causes a request timed out.
    I am confused and need help in right direction. I really appreciate it.
    can you also confirm if the multiple packets mean routing loop somewhere?
    Thanks

    Could you post a copy of your HRSP config and the results of a #show standby?
    Thanks

  • I have a godaddy website with a welcome page- I need help adding a few additional pages with a hyperlink to my welcome page.

    I need help attaching a few hyperlinks my godaddy welcome page. I have 2 more ipages articles, I also converted them to pdf. Godaddy only helped (last year) with the 1st article.  I do not know how to attach a hyperlink to the artlcles and add the hyperlinks to my welcome page.

    The program is called Pages not iPages. Just let us know if you do not speak English and what language you do speak so we can adjust for that.
    The issues are to do with your web page not with Pages.
    I think you are asking how to link from your web page to your pdf articles. You must first copy those pdfs to your web server, or some other web location, and then provide html links on your welcome page to those pdf files.
    The pdfs themselves may contain links to other locations but I can not see that that is what you are asking for.
    Nor to what those links would be to.
    From your heading I think you may have confused the name of Pages, the word processing program, with web pages which are two different things.

  • I need help with a laptop

    where should i start....Windows update had to iinstall 165 updates, so i let it, then the next day, i reinstalled windows thimking it would fix the problem, it made another one, i looked at os:C and it said 25gb in use, i was like ok, let me delete windows.old,
    i did that, it freed up like 2gb of it....so i took the hdd out, and reformatted it in a ntfs file system, it took like 7 hours (its a 500gb hdd) after that i get this error 0xc000000f.....im thinking when i reformatted it, it killed the master boot sector/record....when
    it comes to this screen it says windows fail to start a recent hardware or software change might be the cause to fix the problem 1. insert your windows installation disc (which didnt work) since i cant even do that listing the other options are useless...
    it also says the boot selection faild because a required device is inaccessible,  its not booting right,
    so i need help, i need to give this comp back in 2hr any help

    I suggest you to try scanning the HDD for any errors using Seagate SeaTools from here (works with non-Seagate HDDs also):
    http://www.seagate.com/support/downloads/item/seatools-dos-master/
    If there is no issue with the HDD, you can proceed with installation of Windows. If not, contact the PC manufacturer support or the HDD manufacturer support (if bought separetly) and ask for a replacement. If warranty is present, the replacement will be
    made free of cost.

  • 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/
