New router crashes before setting a wireless network

Hi,
I have just bought a mini router and it crashes before setting up a wireless network. When I start the intallation the software is asking me to connect the USB to the PC; once it detects it it crashes, than nothing happens anymore.
1. step 1
1. step 2
I am using windows 7,

What the model # of this mini router? 
What FW is currently loaded? 
What browser are you using?
Try Opera or FF? If IE 8, 9, 10 or 11, set compatibility mode and test again.
Disable any security browser Add-ons like No Script and Ad-Block or configure them to allow All Pages when connected to the router.
Clear all browser caches.
Be sure to log into the Admin account on the router.
Try turning off these features in Chrome:
Top right corner, little bars for options > Settings > Settings (on left) > Show advanced settings.
Uncheck these:
Use a web service to help resolve navigation errors
Use a prediction service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar
Predict network actions to improve page load performance
Enable phishing and malware protection

  • WRT54G router set up, Wireless network found, but cant connect.

    I've had this router working for over a year but for whatever reason, it stopped working about a week ago. Powering off the router and cable modem usually works but not this time, so I attached a cable from a laptop to the router and tried to run the setupWRT54G setup CD. After step 7, it kept repeating itself in a loop... trying to reconfigure the router and asking for the password. Finally, I exited and the window message box said "Setup is not complete, continue exiting?"  So I accessed the router setup thru IE via the cable:  Http:\\192.168.1.1 and set up the network and gave it a new name, channel 7, etc. My wife can access the network from her work laptop via wireless, so its working for her. As for the other laptop and other desktop in our home, when we search for available networks, we can see out network and click "Connect", ... supply the router password that I issued in the router setup, but it says that it cant connect after a minute of trying. What have I done wrong? One laptop can access the network and two cant. Before last week, all 3 could access the wireless network. FYI - I downloaded and installed ther latest fimware from the LINKSYS website (V8.XX), but no difference. Thanks for any suggestions you can offer.

    Keep in mind that the router setup password is not the same thing as the encryption key that you use to connect wirelessly to the router.
    If it works normally from your wife's computer, I'd be looking at the settings on your computer first, rather than the router's.
    In network -> TCP/IP -> properties is it set to get an IP address automaticaly?
    If the above aren't the issue, I would do a hardware reset of the router back to factory defaults and enter your settings again from scratch. That's a recommended step after upgrading or reloading the firmware anyway, even if you weren't having this trouble

  • Deskjet 3050 j610a - New router; no longer can print wireless.

    Hi all. Am 66 & new to computers and forums. I'll try to be brief, but I want to describe my problem as accurately as possible. I have a Toshiba C655 Satellite laptop, HP3050 j610a wireless printer, Windows 7 – 32bit OS and Google Chrome is my browser. For the past 2 years I've had no problem printing wireless with my Westell 7500 router. Then my ISP (Verizon) gave me a D-Link 2750B. My laptop connects with the internet over my wireless network fine now, but printing is only possible via USB.
    The error message reads: “Your printer failed to join the wireless network – Mac address filtering may be enabled on your wireless router”. (I checked & it is not). I then printed a Wireless Network Test Report and the header reads: “Your HP printer cannot find your access point. Check that your access point is powered on. Check that your HP printer network name (SSID) matches your access point network name (SSID) exactly. If they don't match exactly, run the wireless network setup to configure your HP printer”. In addition, under Diagnostics Summary it reads: “Network Name (SSID) Found = FAIL”.
    What I've attempted so far: Uninstall & reinstall all HP software (Via hp website), power cycle router & printer, hard reset printer to factory settings, looked inside router & all seems OK. I did a Google search of this problem and got more confusing and complicated explanations than I was looking for...all the way down to subnet masks; whatever that is. I'm at the point now (and please correct me if I'm on the wrong path) I feel I should be trying to manually put the network info into the printer or obtain a printer IP; neither of which I know how to do.  Is there a way to look inside my printer settings the same as I look inside my router settings...and how?
    I feel this has gotten way more complicated than necessary and I am probably overlooking the obvious here. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, but please reply to me as if I were in the 3rd grade ! (Although a 3rd grader would probably have figured this out already) !
    Thanks,
    Larry
    This question was solved.

    OK,PrintDoc, I followed your instructions to the letter....although I had gone there many times before.  If you want, I can list each and every step, but to summarize:  Message says, 'software installed successfully", I allowed Network Setup to retrieve my wireless settings (by the way my security is WPA2[AES] ) then the green 'loading' bar for 'setting up printer on network'.
    THIS is the where I get to the point at which I get the error message:  "Your printer failed to join the wireless network".  (Tried both letting the program retrieve the settings, as well as entering them manually).
    I did, however, notice one thing different this time:  Where the icon of my laptop showed under devices, this time there was an '!' enclosed in a triangle, indicating some problem.  I opened it up and ran the Troubleshooter, and received the following messages:  "Device driver software was not successfully installed, *No driver found, Problem not fixed".  I remember seeing this once before in my numerous attempts to get my printer on the network.
    However, a previous message said the software WAS, in fact, installed successfully....and when I took a look at my installed programs, it sure looked like it was.
    Once again, a big 'thank you'.

  • Trying to set up wireless network on PC with Airport Express

    I'm helping a friend set up his network with AirPort Express. He's got a modem attached to his PC, and currently has a router that sends a wireless signal to a receiver on the PC in the other room. Now he's added a Mac, and the old router/receiver doesn't work with Mac. So he bought an Airport Express.
    I've turned on the Airport, and first I connected the ethernet cable from the modem to the AirPort. Per the AirPort utility I put on the PC, it couldn't find it (got the flashing amber light). So then I took out that ethernet, and I hooked up the ethernet directly from the CPU to the AirPort. Suddenly, it was found, and it took me step by step through the set up. It asked for password info from our internet provider (??why would I have that info??), so we just hit "enter". Then it couldn't set up the network, and said to check the "manage network settings". I've tried everything. Not only can I NOT manage to create a network, but now NEITHER ethernet cable will cause any recognition in the AirPort. All I get is the blinking amber light. I'm about to throw all the computers out the window...it really should not be this difficult. I've set up networks in my own home, before, with both PC and Mac, and never had these problems. So, now, I've had to relink up the old router/receiver in order to send out this call for help. Can anyone suggest anything else to try before I use these computers for target practice?
    Thanks in advance,
    Jennifer
    P.S. The main PC w/modem is on Vista with service pack 2.0...since I can't even get that one working with AirPort, I hardly think it matters what the other computers are...

    I had some initial problems too. Make sure that you have the latest Airport Utility in the utilities folder. I used that to correct the problems I had when I first got Time Machine. I recommend resetting everything through there to get it working right.
    Mine is not set up to run an n network because my macs are all g and b compatible. Does the airport utility see the time machine? And if so, does it have a green light in the utility?

  • Best option for setting up wireless network

    I have ordered a new imac to replace the dying family PC. As it stands, I have my current PC connected to a linksys wireless router and have set up a wireless connection. Since the imac has an internal wireless router, Im not sure what the best way to set it up is? I have heard that it will be faster to do it through my current router? Im wondering if that is true. If I keep things as they are, shouldnt I be able to just install the lynksis software on the imac and set it up as I have my PC now? Any advice?

    Your Macintosh does not have an 'internal router.' It does have the ability using AirPort Extreme to configure it to provide a shared computer-to-computer network. Generally speaking, this is a dumb idea.
    You should simply leave your Linksys gateway or router in place, and configure your Macintosh as another wireless client on your subnet using DHCP to obtain an address from your existing Linksys device. There is no special software to install: you Macintosh comes pre-configured to enable wireless client services.

  • Help with setting up wireless network with ibook

    Okay, I just purchased a cheap little belkin f5d7050 USB adapter to connect my G3 iBook to my wireless network, I do a few things on this computer, and would like to use it not hardwired to my router, since there isn't much room where I have the router...And the reason I purchased this card is because I saw there are drivers on the Belkin website for this little guy. Purchased it, and found out it is version 3xxx, and on the website the only drivers they have for Mac OS X is for version 2xxx. The guy(in very broken English) told me that ralink.com(found out it is ralinktech.com or something like that) has drivers for version 3xxx. I downloaded what I could find at that website, and installed, which went fine, seemed to of installed the same thing the driver did that I got from Belkin, and I install it and restart, and then I go into Applications to start it up, and I open it up, and then it says no device is connected, so I connect the adapter, and the little light doesn't light up on the USB adapter, not sure if it is broken, or that is because there are some steps I am missing.
    Anyone have any ideas? Gone through the same thing?
    I just don't want to dish out for an airport card, since I rarely use this thing for that kind of money. I got this one for like 14 bucks, so I thought I'd give it a try.
    Right before I installed it, it told me after install and restart I have to configure this interface in Network Pane of System Preferences before I can use the Wireless USB adapter. How do I go about doing this? This might be my problem.
    So any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

  • Brand new macbook pro cannot connect to wireless networks

    The first time I called apple tech, they thought it was a problem with my internet provider. I've called 4 times now, and I'm still getting the runaround.
    I have an old (2001) G4 sitting right next to my macbook pro which can see numerous wireless networks and connect to them all. A strong connection at that. However, my brand new (refurbished) Macbook Pro Intel etc,.... supposedly best computer ever made, . . . . can see the same wireless networks but has never been able to connect. As a student, I saved for a year to buy this notebook so I could work at cafe's & study with my friends. My friends with PC's can all connect to these wireless networks. My friends with older, less expensive notebooks can connect no problem. I have never been able to connect. Bought this peice of junk 2 1/2 months ago - only because I didn't want to be stuck at home anymore with my desktop. Stupid me to trust apple.
    I wish I could get my $ back, but I'm now being told that it's 30 days too late. Before they told me it was a minor thing and some software update could fix it. I did as told. downloaded and installed their 10.4.8 thingy - deleted all the keychain stuff - nothing. same peice of junk.
    Now they are telling me to go back to the genius bar where folks are just rude to me and tell me they can't help me becuase I bought a "refurbished" model that didn't even save me $25. What do you know.
    Anyone having problems like this? Anyone out there who can help me?

    Okay,
    I apologie for calling it a peice of junk. I know you all probably worship this machine. I'm just really frustrated. I noticed that this is a very common problem - though most of the posts identical to mine have dissapeared from apple.com - this well known defect is all over other discussion boards and websites like macdefect, etc,....
    So, can any of you tech gods help me with this very well known, common problem that I haven't been able to fix with 10.4.8 upgrade?
    Thanks for your time and assistance,

  • New router and can not connect wirelessly

    Installed a new router that changed my security from a WEP to a WPA2. I have connected to the printer(7410) through ethernet cable and changed the security settings but the printer will not connect to my router. I am currently printing by ethernet cable hooked directly into the router. When i try to use the printer interface to cinnect to router the only option that comes up is WEP. 
    Any ideas?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    The printer will support WPA, but not WPA2.  It may have previously been connected to WEP and is expecting that.  Let's reset it:
    From the front of hte printer: Setup > Network > Restore Network Defaults.  Now try the Wireless Setup Wizard from that same Network menu.

  • Set up wireless network on EA60-155

    I have A60 EA60-155 Laptop.
    I am having trouble setting up a wireless network between my desktop and my laptop.
    My desktop is running fine online via a Thompson 576 Network Router. I am using a BT Voyager 1060 Laptop card in my laptop, but the two will not connect. Can anyone help?

    Hi,
    at first you have to set up a connection from the laptop to the router. Now the two computers are in the same network. They can see each other in the explorer if they are in the same workgroup. You can change the workgroup in control panel, system.

  • Can I join this new older mac in my home wireless network?  Please help!

    I bought an iMac333 computer for my daughter. On the Apple systme profiler page, it says my system is 9.2.1 US, and the machine ID is 406 Processor info is PowerPC G3. Anyway, I am so impressed with this little machine already. I have only ever worked with my pc, and I run windows xp. I am trying to find out if I can hook up her computer to use the internet wirelessly. I have verizon dsl, and we use MSN on our home computer. We have a Belkin Wireless G Router, and a Belkin Wireless G USB network adapter. Will we need all new hardware to hook her up? When I put in the install disk for the Belkin adapter, the iMac can't open it. I was up all night trying to figure it out, but I can't. Thanks if you can help me

    congratulations on getting your iMac. Its a great little machine. You can get it onto a wireless network, but you're going to need a different piece of equipment. USB adaptors are problematic because they require drivers, and they just weren't made for OS 9 (there are few drivers for OS X for these types of devices, and they can be flaky). The drivers that would have come with that device would be windows only.
    So instead, what I recommend is an ethernet based adaptor. Ethernet adpators don't require drivers, and oeprate completely independently of the OS, so they are a far superior choice, though a bit more expensive. I use a linksys wet11 and it works great. linksys also make the WET54 for G networks (the wett11 will also work on a G network, no problem). belking, dlink and others make similar devices, as does macsense.com (whose is interesting because it uses USb for power, whereas the others use a separte power outlet)

  • Trouble setting up wireless network on PC

    I'm trying to set up PC as hub of new network at home with iBook G4 as only other computer.
    Using Airport Express assistant I get the following error message: " The Airport Express Assistant found that Windows is not allowed to manage wireless networks on this computer. This can be as a result of haveing a third party utility that manages wireless networks.
    For best results please allow Windows to manage wireless networks."
    I'm not sure what third party utility it is referring to - any suggestions?

    Use the Airport Admin Utility to configure your Airport Express rather than use the Assistant.

  • Setting up Wireless Network over Electrical System (powerline)

    Hi, thanks for any help in advance.  I have an older house that is not conducive to using the airport express units to extend the wireless network from my time capsule, which acts as my primary router.  So I purchased a powerline bidge and extender that allows me to use the electrical system in my house as an ethernet bridge.  This has worked marvelously, and I now attach a fj45 cable from the powerline product directly to a remote computer. 
    But the question I have is how do I extend the wireless network. This same powerline extender has multiple ethernet outputs, and I connected one of these to an airport express. I then set the airport express as another network, and gave it another name, and this works fine.  The signal is much stronger versus just using the "extend my network" setup option, which I assume uses wifi to connect to the express.  But now I have 2 wifi networks in the house, and want to add a few more extenders, and do not really want 4 different networks in the house.  With an RJ45 cable attached, can I pick "extend my existing network" and have it not attach to this express wirelessly, and instead extend via the powerline product, which will be talking to the express via the electrical system and rj45? 
    Thanks again. 

    The signal is much stronger versus just using the "extend my network" setup option, which I assume uses wifi to connect to the express.
    That is correct.
    But now I have 2 wifi networks in the house, and want to add a few more extenders,...
    On the AirPort Express that you have set up now with a different wireless network....make the following changes:
    Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab just below the row of icons and adjust your settings to look like this:
    Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
    Wireless Network Name = Exact same name as your "main" wireless network
    No check mark needed next to "Allow this network to be extended"
    Radio Mode = No change needed
    Channel = Automatic
    Wireless Security = Exact same security setting as your "main" router
    Wireless Password = Exact same password as the "main" wireless network
    Confirm Password
    Click Update to save settings and allow 40-45 seconds for the Express to restart
    Very important....power cycle the entire network by powering everything off, order is not important. Start the modem first and let it run a minute or two by itself. Start the main router next the same way. Continue starting devices one at time the same way until everything is powered back up.
    You now have a "roaming" network. You can "walk" your laptop from the area near the main router to the area near the Express and stay on the same network. Your laptop will automatically switch to the wireless access point with the stronger signal.
    Configure other AirPort Express devices that you add exactly the same way....except that you would want to assign different Base Station device names to each Express to keep things straight.

  • I want to add new mac to existing wired and wireless network

    I have a imac 400mz connected (ethernet) to a network - CABLE Modem to Balkin 5.4 G Wire/Wireless router. I have 2 wintel machines hard wired, plus 1 via Motorola PCIMA wireless. I want to add either of the following new Apple products -
    mini mac or imac 17 - both have Airport extereme installed. OK how do I get the new apple on to the existing network.
    Please advise

    On the Mac - click on the Airport menu icon located near the right side of the MacOS menu bar at the top of the screen. A list of all in-range wireless networks will appear. Click on the name of your wireless network to connnect to it. If your wireless network is protected by WEP or WPA security, the Mac will prompt you to enter the key. That's it!

  • New Macbook Pro. wont connect to wireless network once it has had a update

    hi
    bought a new macbook pro last week, when you first start it up it connects fine to a wireless network, but once the software update is compltete it says that there is an error trying to jion network. there is already a powerbook g4 connected to the network and a pc. i have re installed tiger and it can connect fine until the software update has restarted the mac and the same error is back again. do i re install it again and never update it or is there a simple way to correct the fault

    My girlfriends New Macbook Pro is doing the same thing. I does connect to non-secure wireless connections such as at the airport but doesn't connect to her home wireless connection that is run by an SBC DSL 2WIRE gateway. I can connect fine on her old IBM laptop that I am on right now through this network wirelessly.
    There has to be a fix for this?

  • Problem setting up wireless networking

    I have an imac and a macbook and have just purchased a Netgear wireless router WGR614.
    It was easy to get both machines connected to the internet. However, I would like two-way filesharing and am having more of a problem. I created a computer-to computer network and the macbook shows up fine in the imac's network window, and I can mount it on the desktop. But it won't work the other way: I can't mount the imac on the macbook's desktop, it just doesn't show up in the macbook's network window, nothing appears in that window. Entering the imac's IP address manually in the connect-to-server box on the macbook doesn't work either.
    I'd also like to print from the macbook to the printer attached to the imac, but the lack of connection in that direction prevents this.
    I have tried creating a computer-to computer network on the macbook, and trying things form that way round, but the result is the same. I have ticked all the right boxes in the sharing panel, of course.
    imac   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Please elaborate on "computer-to-computer" network. A computer-to-computer network in wireless lingo means you created a secondary wireless network that is being broadcast from the computer it is created on. It's done by going under the AirPort menu and selecting "create network." If this is what you've done, it would explain the problem you are having. This network is independent from the one you have setup on the Netgear device and is not what you want. Make sure both computers you want to share files/printers between are on the Netgear wireless network and then go to the "Sharing" system preference and enable "Personal File Sharing" and "Printer Sharing." That should pretty much do it. Hope this helps.
