Numbers on Wireless Router do not light up

I have hooked up my wireless router to my cable modem and my computer. I plugged the ethernet into the back of the router and the numbers do not light up. The internet and power light up but not the number. Also when I try to connect to my lab top through the wireless router it says I am connected but it will not allow me to open any web pages? Why is this?

Use this LINK as a reference and make sure your router is configured correctly with a PC hard wired (firmly seated) to the number one port of your router.  If you can not access your router go to this LINK and download the tftp.exe file for your routers model and try to flash the firmware.

  • Thinkpad 430u Windows 7 - Public Network - Wireless router is not assigning IP address

    Hello, 
    My computer knowledge is limited, but I have a chronic issue when attempting to connect to public wireless networks, ie a coffee shop: 
    When I attempt to connect, the laptop identifies the public network as an Unidentified Network and although it "connects" it says No Internet Access. Normally, when I connect, I would be prompted to selected Home, Work, Public and this does NOT happen.  In the Network and Sharing Center, under the heading "View your active Networks" it says Unidentified Netowork, Public Network; Access type: No Internet Access, Connections: Wireless Network Connection (name of network).  The words "Public Network" is NOT a hyperlink and cannot be clicked on.   
    When I run run cmd and check ipconfig I find that the wireless router is not assigning an ip address to my laptop.  i then input ipconfig/releasei, and ipconfig/renew.  I then receive and error saying "An error occurred while renewing interface Wireless Network Connection: The operation was canceled by the user." 
    I have turned off my firewall.  
    My smart phone can connect the the internet with no problem and the other laptop users have no problem either.  This indicates there is no problem with the wirless router itself, but is some kind of setting or something that needs to be adjusted on my end.  
    Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address: 169.254.86.100
    Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
    Default gateway: n/a 
    Please, any help is appreciate.  This is a chronic problem any time I link to public networks.
    P.S. I have no problem connecting to the internet in my own home
    Thank you!! 

    Sorry, forgot to include: it's a 2Wire 2701hg-b Residential Gateway.  I'm unsure how old the model itself is--it was just given to us by AT&T (it's the model they use for their U-verse service).  I checked today and the firmware is up-to-date. 
    Thanks.

  • Can connect to wireless router but not to the internet

    Please Help, I have a WRT150N and I can connect to my wireless router by it will not connect to the internet from there, even though the internet, wireless, and security lights are lit up. If I plug a cord into the back of the router and then into my computer, I can connect to the internet, but once I disconnect the cable, I can still find and connect to my wireless router, but it will not connect to the internet from here. Under access it says "Local Only", I have the security type set to "Shared" under the security properties, and set to "WEP" with WEP key #1 entered. I have spent about 4 hours working on this problem now and could really use some help. Thanks.

    Type ipconfig /all in command prompt(cmd.exe) to see whether it displays valid and correct IP, netmask, gateway and DNS info. If not, take a look on these cannot connect to wireless network problem and using ping to troubleshoot network problem articles to get more ideas. Hope it helps..

  • WRT54G Wireless Router -- Do not have setup disk, what do I do?

    I just moved into a new apartment and my father had an extra wireless router lying around but misplaced the setup disk. The only time I have ever set up a home network it has been with the use of an automated setup wizard. Is there any way I can download this software, or someone can give me step by step instructions on how to get this thing up and going?
    Any help would be much appreciated!!!

    You do not need the setup CD to install your router, you can configure it manually...

  • WRT54G Wireless Router Will Not Assign a Network Address

    A Linksys WRT54G router will not assign a network address when I access the router using a Linksys WPC600N wireless card. I have the same problem accessing the router with a TRENDnet TEW-621PC wireless adapter. Both wireless adapters are assigned network addresses when I use other wireless routers. Also, I have no problems being assigned a network address when I access the WRT54G router in question using an old 2WIRE 802.11b wireless card.
    I have tried "Repairing" the connection, I have used ipconfig to "release" and "renew" the connection. However, each attempt fails to have a DHCP address assigned.
    I am a visitor at the work location with the connection problem, the router works for others without any issues.
    Thanks

    Well in such case .... you can try few settings on the wireless adapter ....
    If you are using WLAN monitor .....
    Click start >> All programs >> Linksys wireless monitor >> Click on "Profile" >> Delete all profiles >> Click "New" >> Type in the wireless network name >> Click next >> Configure the rest of the wireless settings same as in the router ...
    At last point it shows .... all the configuration settings ...reconfirm that  >> Click on connect ot a network & reboot the computer ...
    After reboot see if it shows connected or not....
    You can also use Static Ip in the configuration ....

  • LInksys E1200 Wireless router is not responding after a while

    Hi there, I have E1200 wireless router and it was working nicely for the whole last year with 2 mac laptops hooked up on it. About 2 months ago there were 1 mac,1 win laptop and a network printer. And again, it was working just fine at the beginning. I'm not sure when exactly it happened first, but now after working couple of hours internet gets off and router stops responding. If I try to reconnect to it from my laptop I just see an error message saying something about "Connection timeout". Also I don't know does it have something to do with the network printer, btw it's connected to the router via ethernet cable not wireless. Anyway, the only solution I've found so far is power off the router for a couple of secs and power it on again, which is obviously not a solution at all, it's annoying and not practical. The time it works fine before it dies is also not fixed, it might be even 10 hrs of working and sometimes only 1-2 hrs. My other suspicion is firmware. I upgraded it almost at the same time when new laptop and printer showed up. Maybe I have to downgrade it, but I couldn't find older version of it. It was HW v. 1, SW v.1.0.00, and now it's HW v.1, SW v.1.0.03. I'd highly appreciate if someone could help me out or at least show me direction where to dig in. Thanks.

    It seems that router is intermittent. I suggest you observe your internet connection without the router which means connecting the computer to the modem (if you can) to isolate if your modem's internet connectivity is okay or stable. Upgrading the firmware to the latest is actually okay. Try to reset your router back to factory defaults by pressing its reset button found at the bottom for 10 seconds. When you do reset by the way, it will delete all the current settings that you have especially for the wireless. But you can take note of them before you reset the router. After the reset, you have to get the internet up and running again. You may refer to  the links below on how to get it up and running again for wired and wireless internet.

  • Time capsule wireless router will not work

    I have a Time Capsule that I use as a wireless router in my condo.  Our internet company was recently purchased by another company, and after the transition, I am not able to connect to internet wirelessly.  My condo is wired with active ethernet ports.  If I plug the ethernet cable directly into my computer, I am able to log in to the ISP's main page and connect to the internet without any problems.  However, if I plug my ethernet cable into the Time Capsule as I did before, I cannot connect.  Before the company bought the old company, I didn't have any issues.  I've called their Tech Support 3 different times about this and they tell me they don't provide support for my wireless routers because there are so many different types.  They suggested resetting the router password, but I'm not completely sure how to do that.  Is that different than my airport password?
    I should also note, that if I pull up System Preferences and to the "assist me" feature under the Network option, it tells me that I'm connected. 
    Any help you can provide would be fantastic!  I'm at my wits end with this issue, as I connect a number of devices to my Time Capsule wirelessly.
    Regards,
    Jake

    I have a 2TB Timecapsule and really only use it for Time Machine backups. But the Wi-Fi side is used to sync my iPad at times.
    Mine is wiredup thus;
    Eth cable from iMac to modem (not the WAN port should you have one),  then eth cable from modem to T/Cap in the WAN port (bottom port with an O sign above it)
    I believe when its connected up you may have to set up a wireless network. Follow the instructions to set up Wi-Fi and Network
    and then give it a password. The WiFi icon should appear in the menu bar where you can switch it on or off.
    Its been sometime since I set it with the help of Apple Techs so I might be a bit rusty.

  • Wireless Router does not work

    I am at a university that does not want you to use wireless routers, yet everyone around me still has theirs and when i open my Airport dropdown, i see numerous wireless networks that are run by students.
    My router is the ZyXEL HS-100W (a cheap router, but it has always worked for me in the past).
    When i turn the wireless on through the router's firmware, it is registered on my airport's list, and when i type in my password (WPA), I get the green light in network prefrences and it says something along the lines of "user assigned IP" I have full bars, and it says I am connected, yet whenever i try to open a webpage, it says that I am not connected to the internet.
    I tried to turn the firewall off inside the router, and it did nothing, I tried to use no security to see if that would work, and it did not.
    I do know that we have to register MAC addresses with the computer department here, so I am not sure if there is a way to do this within OSX or within the firmware.
    I know that this is probably very vague, but I am looking for whatever support I can get.
    Thanks
    ben

    it was a good suggestion, but i cannot find a place to manually set a MAC.
    The closest i could find is under the WAN page, there is a tab called WAN MAC.
    in that tab is "spoof this computer's MAC Address - IP Address" and then has a spot to input an ip address (the default is in the 192.168.. just generic ip).
    i tried to input my computer's ethernet mac address, and it didnt work.
    maybe there are futher suggestions based on this?
    also, i am not sure if this matters, but when the router is plugged in, and I am wired to the router, i can get internet, but once i switch to wifi, i dont get internet. maybe that will help.
    thanks
    ben

  • Time capsule wireless router can not connect both Macbook and iPad

    Currently my new time capsule can only connect my macbook pro wirelessly or by ethernet. My iPad or PC can not been connected to it. I guess the setting for the router is something wrong, but I do not know how to fix it. The settings indicate that there is no DNS address, and the router is off (bridged). I tried to change the router setting, but does not succeed. Sincerely ask for help.

    The settings indicate that there is no DNS address, and the router is off (bridged). I tried to change the router setting, but does not succeed. Sincerely ask for help.
    Sorry but I need you to clarify.. router is off.. what router are you talking about??
    If the clients do not have DNS, have you tried just supplying the standard google dns ie... 8.8.8.8 (very lucky number for Chinese) or 8.8.4.4
    http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/
    You can usually set dns manually whilst still using DHCP for IP address.
    But better to start again.. reset the TC..
    Give it a simple name .. no spaces.. all alphanumeric.. the default name is NOT windows networking valid.
    eg I name my TC.. TC1
    Wireless name.. same rules.. I use TC24 and TC5 (I use separate names for 2.4ghz and 5ghz as I do not want computers auto swapping bands) I also set channels manually.. again because I do not want them auto swapping channels.
    Wireless passwords.. same rules.. you need to make it a bit longer of course.. but pure alphanumeric no spaces.
    In the disk area, assuming you want disk access.. then put in the WORKGROUP name.. usually WORKGROUP.. in caps btw.
    If you do all that it will usually also work with iPad.

  • ARRIS NVG599 Wireless Router is not a great product for Gigapower customers!

    AT&T your new ARRIS NVG599 Router/Wireless is not a great product for Gigapower customers. The built in wireless on this device really has poor quality. My previous 2Wire589 had a lot better reception and quality. At least when it was a 100% I was able to get full range in my home. With the ARRIS NVG599 coming in default 100% for the wireless the range is very poor to include speed quality with just one wireless device on it. My friend and I who both have gigapower have the save exact issues and live in two different parts of Austin, TX area. Our wireless receiver with uverse keeps freezing and pixelating. Very irritating!!! The tech you sent to my house by the way did an outstanding job in triaging this poor hardware setup you give to your Gigapower customers. I felt bad the for guy because he was stumped just as much as I was. Luckily I was fortunate enough for him to see my issues with the wireless TV box. The tech cleaned the fiber pair. Signal quality was still great before and after the cleaning. Recrimped all copper line. Again Layer 1 is not the issue when it comes to cabling. Only layer 1 issue is the hardware. He even replaced my router with a new one and the wireless quality became worse. He's like the fifth tech to come to my house provide great support since I was upgraded to the new ARRIS NVG599 router. So again this particular model you are giving us really isn't great and I am hoping you all are looking for a better quality product such as the 2Wire or Cisco product. I prefer Cisco quite honestly. I am very disappointed as I never had issues with my 2Wire. Only issue was not getting my true Gigapower speed due to hardware capabilities. You all need to allow your customers to customize their own routers. Why do I have to use AT&T's DNS for DNS? Why can't I use OPENDNS which is a lot more safer my family since we have younger children. I mean if all else fails due to customer issue you can always do a hardware default reset. All if you can stay away from this router they provide as it really is a poor quality of a router and most of product for gigapower customers!

    You can change it away from 192.168.1.0/24.  But you cannot change it anywhere under 10.0.0.0/8.  But 192.168.2.0/24 is fine, and I've heard of people using 172.16.0.0/16 as well.
    The DNS is locked in part due to the double (or triple) duty as a gateway for TV.  You can always purchase your own router and install it behind the NVG 599 and set it up for whatever DNS and/or subnet you want.
