Keep needing to reboot ADSL Router to open VPN Connection

I keep needing reboot our ADSL router (Netgear DG834N) in order to open a VPN connection to our server.
I'm pretty sure this has come about since upgrading to 10.5.2
Any ideas what the problem might be?

You don't say if it is PPTP or L2TP.
Depending on model and firmware DG834x has IPSec VPN server capability built-in. Can complicate thing for L2TP "passthrough" (forwarding). Sometimes routers/firewalls without VPN server built-in is
more suitable for L2TP forwarding.
Could be L2TP having problems with UPD port 500 get "stuck" in the modem/router if that is what you use. Otherwise see if there is a firmware revison/update that fix VPN passthrough issuses.
Also getting GRE prtocol through for PPTP forwarding can be tricky. A "VPN-pasthrough" setting, if available, could somtimes fix this.

HT1430 My iPad isn't getting connection to internet. It just suddenly stopped! It says it is connected to WiFi but it just keeps spinning and nothing will come up. Have tried rebooting my router and iPad (my other computer is connected just fine).

Try turning WiFi off on the iPad, then reset it again, turn WiFi on again and join your network again if necessary. Or go to Settings>WiFi>Your network name>Forget this network. Reset your iPad and then join your network again. Or - settings>General>Reset>Reset network settings. Reset the iPad, then try to join your network again.

Ipod touch needs to be physically near router to get WiFi?

can ipod touch be 'fixed' so i don't have to be physically near the router to get WiFi?

Only if you buy a mi-fi device and subscribe to a 3G or 4G mi-fi service. Put "mi-fi" into your search engine to find providers.

I need to reboot my AppleTv every time I use it to get Airplay working

Hello, I hope that someone there can help me! I just got my brand new Apple Tv 2, but every time I would like to play music or whatever with airplay from my Iphone or my Mac Book, I need to restart it.
They are all connected to the same wireless router, but I don't see the airplay icon until I plugo off and plugin again the power cable of the Apple Tv.
It is correctly connected to the wifi, I can use youtube and so on... but the other devices cannot see it...
If I need to reboot it everytime.. I think I will get bored of use it in a couple of days!
Greetings from Italy!

But every single item is correctly connected with the wi-fi, and is working fine in internet.
The iphone is surfing, the mac book is serfing... the apple tv is sirfing as well!
But not the mac nor the iphone see the apple tv, and the airplay icon is not showing until I reboot everything...

Air play in Apple Tv disconnects with no reason, and I need to restart the router to connect again. Meanwhile apple tv is connected to wi if. Can somebody help?

Air Play in my Apple TV disconnects from iPhone or Mac book after some time of playing. I need to restart the router in order to connect again. Apple tv is connected to wifi succesfully? Any suggestion?

I tried something new yesterday after reading all these messages. My ATV3 was situated on top of my satellite box and I noticed that it was quite warm. The instruction manual suggests that the box not go over a certain temperature, so I moved the box to a location without the heat under it. It now works without any problem at all...at least, so far.

Connecting to home internet via airport - always need to restart the router

I set my home PC as the main station to connect to my ISP. With a wireless router (linksys Wireless-B), I used to share the internet connection to other wireless devices, for instanace, my palm and ibook, my sister's notebook PC and Pocket PC. once, I took my ibook to an internet cafe, which gives free wireless connection facilities. My ibook obviously scanned the wireless network, and was connected (as I noted from the Summary of the "internet Connection". but, when I activate Safar, it said that it could bring me to any website because my computer is not connected to internet. it's very strange, as the Internet Connection said it's connected to the wireless network. The Safari page suggests me to run "network diagnosis". i follow the instruction, and it says I should restart the router and then it would work. I didn't succeed. A while later, it connected. I thought it was okay.
Then, this problem comes up even when I am using my home's internet connection via the airport. I use DHCP to connect to my home internet connection. though the airport summary page said that it's connected to my router (the IP address is my router's address), again, Safari said my computer is not connected to internet, so it didn't work. I followed the instruction of the Network Diagnosis, it again asked me to restart my router device. I also noted from the Airport Section of the Network Perference that, it says the airport has a self-designated IP addres, so it may not connect to the itnernet. later on, I retarted the router and the modem (without turn on my home PC), the ibook connected to the internet.
i checked the router setting of my home PC. I'm sure that it's open to all wireless user. Strange through, after I update the settings (even though i didn't make any changes, perhaps the action of 'save settings', it's kind of equivalent to the action of restarting it), my ibook's connection works. When my retarted my PC and ibook, the connection problem comes up again.
it's very frustrating. Does it mean that I need to restart my router everytime? What about if I want to connect to wireless hotspot outside?
Please please help

Your problem description is complicated, making it hard to figure out what exactly is wrong. Unfortunately, WiFi does this quite often.
To avoid this kind of problem, you should set up different Locations in your Network Preferences for different places that you connect up. That is, make one location for your Internet cafe and another for home. Leave the Automatic location alone.
For locations you know you are going to connect by WiFi, go to Network Port Configurations and drag Airport to the top of the list to give it priority.
If you have a location, where you want an ethernet connection or want to use your internal modem only, then drag those options to the top. Get the idea?
MacOS seems to get confused sometimes when you switch back and forth between different connections all the time. This will not happen if you tell MacOS where you are by explicitly setting a location.
To get out of a situation where MacOS thinks you are connected to non-existent ethernet connection, go into
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
and delete the NetworkInterfaces.plist file.

Need help accessing the router web page. I have been told my router is acting like a switch and the IP address is not in the proper range. I have tried reseting the router (hold for 30 sec and unplug for 5 mins). Didn't work.
thanks

What router are you using? Almost all Linksys routers use 192.168.1.1 as the default local IP address, but there is at least one that uses 192.168.16.1 , namely the WTR54GS (not the WRT54GS).
You need to try again to reset the router to factory defaults.
To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
5) Power down the router.
6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank (note: a few Linksys routers have a default user name of "admin" (with no quotes)), and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
Please let me know how things turn out for you.

On Mac OS X Lion rebooted Cisco router and my network has disappeared

I have no internet connection now. My netwrok disappeared from the list. I did the on and off , reboot modem etc. I tried to reinstall the Cisco software and a message popped up saying Cisco doesn't support my version of OS X. The wifi was working fine on Lion for at least a week, then wifi started dropping off on my iPad so that is why I rebooted the router and now it doesn't work at all.

What Cisco software are you running on your Mac? You should be able to connect to the router's control panel by going to its network address with a browser, although be aware that Safari douesn't handle some of the control panel javascript correctly, so you might want to use Firefox.

Ever since I received my Macbook Pro in July 2011 I've had issues with my wireless connection at home. After software updates, Apple support suggested I reboot my router which works. But now I have to do it every other day. ????

Ever since I received my Macbook Pro in July 2011 I've had issues with my wireless connection at home. After software updates, Apple support suggested I reboot my router which works. But now I have to do it every other day. ???? AT&T my DSL carrier suggests I get a new router. Apparently the one I have is really old and doesn't support my Macbook Pro. Does this sound right?

If your using WEP encryption yes, Apple has discontinued that becaues it's worthless. WEP (and WPA) is cracked so encryption makes no sense.
Get a new Wireless N router, set it up with WPA2 (AES) Personal and two different 20+ randon letter/numbersymbol character passwords
One for Admin access only of the router, keep this on paper off all comptuers in a safe someplace.
One for entering into devices, computers etc for Internet Access Only.
You need the long and random password to defeat brute force attacks by GPU software that the hackers have now.
Also if you give out the password to another, they can't hack the network with the guest access password.
Computers remember the internet password, so anyone with access to your machines or network will have the password.
Since you have another Admin only password, they can't hack in. got it?
You don't need "Invisible" or "MAC Address filtering" that's a waste of time as hackers can sniff a network and causes issues getting on the network.
Good luck.

Control of route selection for WiFi & Ethernet subnets ?

i have a shiny new macbook pro. Also running various virtual machines in parallels. To cut a long story short - in one scenario, I need the osx host machine to use WIFI as its default route while an XP VM needs to use wired Ethernet for its default route. This is because the XP environment connects to a company network and the mac host needs public wifi connectivity... How do I manipulate routing preferences for this ?
I tried changing the default route from sudo command line on the mac but it was not successful... it looks like mac takes priority for Ethernet over WiFi when it is plugged in. The XP machine is setup under parallels to bridge onto the Ethernet port so it works a treat.

I have fixed this myself... turns out there is a "Set Service Order" option under the Network settings in System Preferences... All I had to do was push WIFI to the top of the list and it becomes the default/priority route for the Mac... The XP machine is virtually patched to Ethernet in bridge mode so it continues working. BRILLIANT !
Hope it helps someone else another day.

TS1398 I need help getting connected to our home wifi.

I need help getting connected to our home wifi. I've reset network settings, iPhone, and router but the error "unable to join network" keeps coming up. I also double checked the password. Please help

Other possibilities:
Your router firmware is out of date. Check the manufacturer's website for an update
You have MAC (Media Access Control) filtering enabled on the router, that restricts access to "known" devices and the new iPhone is not on the table of known devices
Your router has a setting limiting the number of simultaneous allowed devices
Your routers SSID ("name") is still the default (e.g., LINKSYS, DLINK, NETGEAR, etc). Your phone has encountered other routers with the same name as you have traveled, and the phone is confused as to which router is the real one. If your router's name is still the default you should change it.

Need to reboot WRT54G2 every morning

Need to reboot WRT54G2 every morning but only for my wireless printer. Everything else works great. Print job sits in spooler until router is reset then it will go through

I think it must be the issue with the printer settings on the computer.
Go to Printer properties. Click on Advanced tab. You will find the option print directly to the printer. Select that option and see if that works.

WRT350N v1.03.7 always need to reboot daily.

Now I don't know how to make my router work more stable. I guess that my WRT350N cannot free up memory for the ports has opened it after unused them. After working around several hours, internet slowing down and it need to reboot. My PC usually run vuze (azureus). I hope that new firmware can fix this issue ASAP.

If you have to reboot the router daily you must upgrade the router's firmware...
Download the Firmware from here
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device: -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
