On 3rd Router--HELP

Hi -- This may be something simple, but as I am not familiar with Routers and Networking, this has become a huge problem for me.
I've bought 2 E1200 and am on my 3rd. Router, which is an E2500.
My problem has been the same with each one.
My computer is hard-wired into the Router and I'm using a Tablet using the Wi-Fi, both are intermittent.
Most the time I can't connect using my Tablet and my computer is bad also. Web pages don't load, links, emails with HTML content. I am constantly having to Refresh the page.
I do not know enough about Routers to figure this out myself.
I have done the hard Reset and re-installing, but it's not working.
Please help, I only have about 23 days to return this thing. LOL.
Seriously, help........Valerie

Hi there, so we could isolate the problem, connect the computer straight to the modem (without the router) then observe the connectivity, it should be stable then run it through the router. Reset it manually (press the reset hole for 30sec) then wait for the power light to stay solid before starting with the set up again, this time do it manually. You may refer to the articles below to guide you with the set up depending on the type of internet connection. As for the wireless settings since the router is dual-band, make sure to create a different SSIDs on each band (5GHz and 2.54Ghz) then for the channel (5GHz), 40MHz/48 and for the (2.4GHz), 20Mhz/ 9 and use WPA2 personal for the wireless security, you can use the same password on both by the way. References for this can be found on the articles below.

Linksys WRT54GS Version 6 router help

Hi all! I have a Linksys WRT54GS Version 6 router with Firmware Version: v1.50.6 and I was wondering if anyone could help me find a free log viewer, since the log viewer that comes with the router just gives the last few sites outgoing and incoming, and it doesn't time it either. Anything that will work with my router that will record all day info as well as put the time? I'd also like it (if possible) if it could identify which websites those IP's belong to; sometimes I will put an IP in the address bar and nothing happens or I get an error.
Also, I can't seem to be able to telnet into my router. I put the right IP 192.168.1.1 8080 which is the port that shows under Administration/Management "management port:" 8080. When I telnet (I'm using vista and I installed the telnet client and server) it says connecting and then just sits there for a long time and then asks me to push any key and says connection timed out. I also tried with port 80 and 23, nothing.
Thanks!

*BUMP*
I gathered from what I read on the 'net that this particular router pretty much sucks in terms of putting 3rd party firmware, of telnetting into it, etc. So, is it basically true that there is no way to telnet into this? Also, no one knows of any monitoring or log viewer that works with this version?? Please?

I'm using a WRT54G2 Router. It's wired to a Motorola Surfboard modem. I can't access the manual config 192.168.1.1 and two other computers that are wireless in the house rely on my access point to be able to use the internet. Problem is I'm getting that good o'l "You are connected to the access point, but the internet cannot be found." I've tried assigning static IP's, power cycling, release/renew in IPCONFIG, I've whispered sweet nothings into my PC's ear...etc...etc...etc... I CAN access the manual config through the one laptop when it's wired to the modem though. Please for the love of everything someone help me!!!!!
Here's what IPCONFIG /ALL says about my computer.

Are you trying to access 192.168.1.1 wirelessly?   If so, stop doing this. Wireless access to 192.168.1.1 often fails. Use a computer that is wired to the router when you want to change router settings.
1) I assume that the "IPCONFIG /ALL" info that you posted was obtained when your computer was wired directly to your modem -- is that correct?
2) When you did the "IPCONFIG /ALL", was your computer wired to the modem with ethernet cable, or USB cable?
3) Your network should be setup like this:
Motorola Surfboard -- WRT54G2 )))     ((( wireless computer(s)
                                    |--- wired computer
Motorola Surfboard ethernet port wired to WRT54G2 Internet port, using ethernet cable.
Wired computer connected to a LAN port on the WRT54G2, using ethernet cable.
Nothing connected to USB port of Motorola Surfboard.
Wireless computers connect directly (and wirelessly) to WRT54G2, not to your wired computer.
Is above the way your system is setup? If not, how is your system setup?
4) Please clarify the problem that you are having. Are you saying that your computer simply cannot access 192.168.1.1 , or that it cannot access the Internet, or that you cannot get any of your computers to access the Internet through the WRT54G2?    Are you trying to connect this computer by wire or wirelessly to the WRT54G2?
5) Can any computer access the Internet through the WRT54G2?

No, I'm trying to acess it through a wired computer. The computer I'm on right now is wired to the access point which is wired to the motorola modem. I can access the login page(as well as the internet) through the computer wired to the router(which, as stated just a few sentences ago, I'm currently using), but when i type in admin for the password it literally kicks me right back into the login screen with both username and password feilds blank. My entire system is setup the way you described that it should be ethernet cable and all. Trust me that was the first thing I checked. The IPCONFIG /ALL is the status of the computer wired to the router. The other two computers in the house (one is a laptop with wireless card and the other is a PC that I bought a wireless card for) cannot access the internet. They used to be able to until recently and I've made no changes to any of the settings.
I also tryed power cycling the system. It granted wireless access to the wireless computers as well as my playstation 3, BUT, I lost internet access on the wired computer. Imagine my frustration. I power cycled again then I was back to square one. No wireless access but access with the wired pc. It's not set to a static IP address either.

D) Have you upgraded the router's firmware?
E) After the firmware upgrade, did you reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch?
F) You said that the "IPCONFIG /ALL" was obtained when you were connected to the WRT54G2 router. But this looks like IPCONFIG data from connection to the Motorola Surfboard modem. Are you sure this IPCONFIG /ALL is from connection to the WRT54G2?
G) Have you been running unsecured wireless?   Or are you using encryption? If you are using unsecured wireless, perhaps your neighbor logged into your router (by accident or intentionally) and changed your login password.
I would suggest that you reset your router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
Please use the following procedure to reset your router:
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, 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 likely dead. Report back with this problem.
If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt.   Report back with this problem.
If you need additional help, please state 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.

My apologies for the delay in response, things have been hectic lately. Alrighty, I did all that you said and here are some interesting results, I'll break down the results by each machine that a fiddled with:
Wired Desktop PC:
-I got no response when trying to ping the router
-Could not access the 192.168.1.1 configuration screen, not even the prompt for username and password
-When using the installation disk AND the installation program i downloaded off the Linksys website it would not detect the router.
Wireless Laptop(this is where i think it gets interesting):
-I was able to fully install and automatically configure the router by using the installation disk
-I could ping and get full response from the router both wirelessly and while it was directly wired to the router
-I could also access the configuration menu 192.168.1.1 in my web browser
-I also had a backup copy of the latest firmware for the router on my flash drive, so I updated the firmware through the laptop.
-The laptop was using the router as it's access point, however the internet could not be found.
If I wasn't at a total loss before I tried all this, I certainly am now. Could it be a problem with the network settings on the PC that is wired? Perhaps a faulty ethernet port? Your thoughts?
Well, that's where it left off, I got no responses back from anyone after the last post. Help!!!

As you are able to access your router's web interface you should now try to re-configure it...

Can't connect to printer through Router - Help!

Brand new to Mac & getting frustrated. I have a SMC router with a Pixma ip6600D connected to the usb port on the router. I can connect to the internet without a problem and the printer works fine if I plug it directly into the MacBook. However I cannot get the Mac to find it via wireless. I downloaded the Gimp drivers (there is no ip6600D on the list). Apple has no clue, Canon was no help, and neither was SMC. I have spent over 12 hours on the phone with various Tech support folks with no answers. Nobody can suggest a work around or even whether or not a new router will solve the issue. By the way, my laptop PC and desktop PC's work fine interfacing with the router and printer. So much for the "I'm a Mac and I'm as PC" commercials being accurate! Help, anybody!!! Thanks.

If the printer setup utility in OS X can't find it automatically, do a manual setup by clicking the + symbol in the printer preferences window, then click the IP option at the top of the panel. You can then enter the printer's network IP address and other information manually.

New Mac Mini Tiscali Router HELP!!!

Hi
My Dad has just bought his first Mac - a Mac Mini, presumably running Tiger. He is with Tiscali and had a USB modem (Sagem), but went to buy an ethernet adaptor today and the guy in the shop told him it was an old modem and sold him this new Router - an Edimax AR-7084gA. Consequently, any support I could find for Tiscali is now now good as it was concerning the Sagem modem. My Dad's getting very frustrated and I've tried to get him connected, but I'm doing it by phone as he lives miles away and I'm at work and I'm about to cry!!! I feel somewhat responsible as I told him to buy a Mac!
Please can someone tell me what to tell him to do over the phone - even the most obvious stuff. In the Network bit, he's selected the 'Built in Ethernet' option and in TCP/IP he's selected the Using DHCP etc and all the IP addresses and router things have come up, but he can't get any further. Are we doing something really stupid? Do we have to put in phone numbers or anything? The install disc for the router doesn't seem to work but I don't think he needs to do that anyway, as it's obviously seeing the router. It's really hard for me because I'm using an older OS than him and my windows don't come up with the same things.
I've used Macs for years and have set them all up in our office, but it's always been really easy.
Please, please help - no matter how obvious you think you're being, I'm sure it will help.

I would support the move away from the USB modem, but the new one needs some setting up. I just checked and you might like to look at this page, if you have not already done so.
I am pretty certain that all of these modem/routers have a configuration page hard wired into the device and this needs to be accessed using a browser. It may also be a good idea to try with an Ethernet cable before the WiFi as this is one element out of the equation.
Check with the manual, but the access to the configuration page is probably either at 10.0.0.2 (that is all that you need to put in the browser URL space) or at a number beginning with 192..
The 10 series or the 192 series are healthy: you are on the way. A series beginning 168 means that the IP number is self-assigned.
What you have here, "Built in Ethernet' option and in TCP/IP he's selected the Using DHCP etc and all the IP addresses and router things have come up, but he can't get any further" is right.
But it may be that he is not connected to the system without account details being entered: the method may depend on the particular IP.
You may also need DNS numbers for his connection.

Wireless Router Help Needed! Please and Thank You

My warrenty has expired on my router, and Linksys is conveniently not able to help me get my router back on track. I have had the same problem several times, and have had the steps wrote down to fix it however, I have recently moved into a new place and conveniently lost the paper.
Usually it was a matter of just cloning my mac ID and it would work, in which I tired that with no success! Im frustrated and I need my internet for my schooling.
If anyone could help me it would be GREAT! Im not able to be on the internet to check so often as to if I have a reply on here, so if you feel you can help please call me!
Thanks in advance!
Stephanie

Iphone cant recognize router, HELP!!!

I have a Wireless G Broadband router, the model number is wrt54g2. I also have iPhone 3G. I never had problems with my iPhone and I was always able to connect to wifi until today. For some reason my iphone wont recognize my router, it tells me “CANT CONNECT”. Please help! I’m certain that the configuration on my iPhone is correct, it works on other routers as long as I know the passwords.
However, the wifi can connect to my laptop. Does anyone have a clue as to what I should do to fix this problem?
Message Edited by mike_ny on 11-25-2009 06:24 PM

If you don't know the Encryption key, then you can login to the Router setup page of your Router and Find out the Security Key.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the Wireless tab
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
In these window you will find your security key and Security Mode. Using that security mode you can try to connect to your Wireless Network on your IPhone.

No luck with WRTU54g Router - help please

My brother recently purchased a Linksys WRTU54g router and it came today, we were told that we could connect to the internet through this by connecting to our BTHomehub wirelessly and therefore can then plug an ethernet cable from our xbox 360 into the linksys router and connect to xbox live.
However after hours of trying we have had no luck, any help would be greatfully appreciated.
Thank you.
Danielle.

1. If you already have a Wireless Router then you need to connect your existing router from the Ethernet Port on Internet Port of the LInksys router...
2. Connect a computer to the Ethernet Port of the Linksys Router and open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...
Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
3. On the set-up tab, change the Router's IP Address to 10.10.10.1 and click Save Settings...Once you are done wait for 30 seconds and unplug the power cable from the router and wait for another 30 seconds and plug it back in...Your router should be configured for Internet Access...
4. You can then connect your xbox to the linksys router and it should work fine...

Yes, you are on the right track. As stated in the included instruction manual, you will need to charge your iPod for four hours or until the display changes so that it shows a power plug (meaning that it is fully charged).
Also note that while your iPod is charging, you can also add songs and videos to it.

Unknown Error (1418), iPod 3rd Generation help please!

So I bought a fantastic old school retro iPod 3rd Generation and I love it!
It plays fine, syncs music and all, but only through USB 2.0 (and doesn't charge!). It takes iTunes ages to recognize the iPod with Firewire. And I wish it would be quicker!
So I tried to restore it, only to get the (1418) Error. Don't worry I've read all the different forums, but still can't seem to find a solution because the fixes only seem to work on XP. Could someone please shed some light? I love the thing!
Cheers!

Hello shibby999955,
Iknow you mentioned that you have done quite a bit of research on it already, but have you had a chance to work through the troubleshooting solutions, provided in this Apple support document?

Can't browse network with new router - HELP!

My old WRT54G died a few days ago. I replaced it with a WRT54GL which was the closest match. Since installing the new router I can no longer browse my network. I configured the new router with LELA as per the instructions suggested. Could that have changed something? All the machines can get on the internet and I can ping all the machines through the command line but when I try to look at the workgroup in the my network places window I get an error message that says:
"Workgroup not accessable. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The network path was not found."
When I run the net view command in the command line that also results in an error.
When I hook machines together with a crossover cable everything works fine so I have to assume it's some setting in the new router that is preventing the browse list from working. Here's what I've tried:
Turned off firewalls both on the local machines and on the router - made no difference
Made sure all machines are in the same workgroup - they are
Made sure browser service and the peer networking services are running - they are
Made sure all machines are on the same subnet - they are because they can ping each other
Now here's something really strange. When I rename the workgroup on all machines they can see each other. Once I switch back to the name "workgroup" they can't see each other any longer and I get the error message.
I run a small business and need to share files quite often. I would love to be able to get a NAS server but I can't find any that will work with ALL of my machines. Most of my machines are running Vista at this point but a few are still XP Pro. One of my machines is XP Pro and cannot run SP2 which prevents a lot of newer software and devices from running on it. This is why I really need to get my file sharing ability back.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Mike
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I solved the issue and wanted to post it in case someone else has the same issue. One of the machines uses a Linksys WGA600N Dual Band Gaming adapter as it's wireless adapter. Technically speaking this actually a bridge. I needed to restart it. That solved my issue.

Re-setting up router HELP PLEASE!!

Hello, i have the WRT54G wireless-g broadband router, I recently had my computer crash that i had set up the network with so i had to reformat my computer the problem is, I used the auto-generate key that was like 40 letters/numbers long and i saved the code in a word file on my computer, now when i put in the cd to re-set it up, its already set up and asks for a password... takes 5 minutes goes to 100% asks for a password again and does it all over again (goes in loops). Is there anyway to fix my network?/find out the WEP/WPA key or reset up my network all over again? thank you so much -Aaron

Have you reset the router?
Hold the reset button on the router for 90 seconds
while still holding the button, unplug the power cable after about 20 seconds and then replug it back in. (do not release the reset button yet).
Once 90 seconds has gone by stop holding the reset button and then let go. It should reset the router back to the normal admin/password 192.168.1.1.
Hope this helps/works.
