Problem disabling wireless option on a BEFW11S4

Hi. Recently, my roommate making use of the wireless capability on our linksys decided to hardwire his connection like my other roommate and I. The topic describes the dilemma we're having now, and we believe it is what is contributing to an incredibly slow internet speed at the moment since we have many other wireless users in our area.
My roommate attempted to disable it on his computer by going into the setup as described by the manual. He used the default IP, went to set up and selected the option to disable wireless. Then he tested the wireless connection out to see if it was disabled, and he still saw our network available. I then tried accessing setup on my computer and it still reads as being "disabled," but it isn't.
I'm not sure if we just need to reset our router in a certain manner, if there's an issue with having to fill in our domain name, or whatever it is that is not making the alterations to our router stick. As you can tell, I'm not too router savvy, so any insight you can pass on to me would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

hi there, it might be that the wireless you're connecting is not from your wireless router.. it might be that the connection was from your neighbor.. the reason why i said this is because I just thought that your SSID might be the default "linksys"... of course, there are some, if not most, that will just leave their SSID as just "linksys"
to verify that the wireless being disabled is working, you will need to change the SSID of your router to see if you are still seeing your SSID... if not, then basically the disablity of wireless option is working

  • Wireless-B Broadband Router(BEFW11S4) Problem

    I bought a Wireless-B Broadband Router(BEFW11S4) from someone but it didn't came with the CD is there another way to install it like a driver or something like that

    There is no "driver" for your router.  Your router has firmware that resides on a flash memory chip in the router.  Check your router to see which version of the router you have.  This should be listed on the bottom of the router, near the serial number.
    To setup your router:
    First, download the User Guide from the Linksys web site:
    http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Content_C1&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1115416835852&...
    Next, reset the router to factory defaults (see the User Guide for directions).
    Then go to Linksys.com > Support > Technical Support > EasyLink Home Networking Tools > then use EasyLink Connect to configure your router.

  • Windows 7 and XP Disable wireless when connected to hot wired

    Hello there,
    We are facing IP address shortage due to redundant network connections from laptops because every laptop uses two IP address when connected to wireless network and hard wire. Does Windows 7 and XP natively has the options to disable wireless when a laptop
    is connected to hard wired? I know the wireless can easily disabled by manual process but problem is user don't have the knowledge or don't bother to do that. So if there is a way to use GPO to configure this would be ideal -- no 3rd party solution please.
    Any suggestion is most welcomed.
    Thanks,
    TL

    There are no Fail proof ways for Win 7 or 8 to make sure that AT ALL times Wire is used over WIFI. The metric setting is ignored by MS. I know cause my metric for the wired is 10 and for the WiFi is 9999, but at all times the WiFi is used instead of the
    Wired. This is by design as Microsoft being as inept as always did not properly design their operating system. This is a DESIGN DEFECT, which Microsoft will not admit to, despite the fact that it could be caused by no other method EXCEPT incompetent design,
    ignored during quality assurance testing etc. The reason there are a million people looking for a fix for this design flaw is that there is NO fix available. MS will not fix it as they got your money and could care less. Being that they are among the most
    evil and greedy companies currently in business is why it will never be fixed. I dare them to prove me wrong and fix the obvious design defect. I double dare all who read this to log in to the MS tech net and demand that they fix this DESIGN DEFECT.
    Any developer qualified to design an OS should have no problem permanently fixing this and Microsoft has NO EXCUSE for not doing so with an update!!!!!! All they have to do in the code logic is ask the system if the device getting an IP etc is using a "radio"
    then it asks all the other devices that are getting or have gotten an IP if it was gotten via a radio, If during any of these quires the answer is I DID NOT get my IP from a radio connection then that IP path gets priority and all the others, IE WiFi gets
    disabled. Then if there is a change in the network, loss of connectivity for example, the process is repeated and when everything say's it got its IP from a radio then the WiFi takes over. So in a nut shell every connection is looked at to see if it is from
    a radio based device or a hardwired based device, NOT using metrics since that apparently can not be counted on, the prof is in the 500+ PCs I just setup, ALL OF WHICH GIVE A SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER METRIC TO THE WIRED, but still choose the WIFi. The order of
    the connection establishment should not matter since the test is performed on every connection and as soon as one is found that is not radio based, it is left on and all others are turned off. Common sense really. This is NOT ROCKET science! Just good common
    sense programing.
    So I challenge everyone who reads this comment to add a demand for MS to fix the DESIGN DEFECT once and for all.
    That's all I have to say. If there is a script as some of the suggestions here mention that can do it, if there is a single 3rd party product out there that can do it, then there is NO EXCUSE for MS not to provide a PERMANENT OFFICIAL MICROSOFT CERTIFIED
    FREE fix for this DEFECT. And yes it can only be classified as a DESIGN DEFECT as common sense say's you would AT NO time under normal operations EVER want the MUCH slower WiFi, 100 mbps  compared to 1000 mbps for wired to be in charge. EVER! Even if
    the wired nic is only 100 mbps, some cheep junk laptops have the indecency to come with a 100 mbps nic instead of a Gigabit, the Wired is still better 99.99999% of the time.
    And one last thing this IS THE ONLY REAL ACCEPTABLE ANSWER to the original question, and all the others just like it who EXPECT, with GOOD REASON, that COMMON SENSE, would be in charge NOT ignorance and defective designs, and that AT ALL TIME WIRED RULES
    OVER WIFI.
    Hope this helps, it is time to insist that MS do their job AND FIX THE DESIGN DEFECT!!!!!!!!!
    Ralph
    PS Not all systems have switches on the outside for disabling the WiFi. My HPs don't and trying to train all the users on how to MANUALLY disable it and when to do so etc is like trying heard flock of sparrows, it's not happening, NOR SHOULD IT NEED TO!

  • Disabling wireless

    A simple enough requirement, you'd think - I wish to disable wireless on the BT Hub, as my computer is permanently connected to it by cable (I have no other wireless devices).
    The help page says it's possible (Wireless Configuration under Advanced Setting - simply set wireless enable to 'no'), and in fact I successfully managed to do this just after I installed the hub (the wireless blue light went out as expected).
    Today, however, I noticed the blue wireless light back on (I hadn't changed any settings), and the option to disable it (in Advance Settings) is no longer available. I wonder if the upgraded software (it automatically upgraded itself yesterday) has removed the option to disable wireless (and if so, why)? I phoned technical support. They insisted that the default is wireless-enabled and that I can't change it, and that it's always been that way. This contradicts both the help pages and my own experience immediately after installing (not to mention common sense). But they were insistent.
    So, I tried something else: Power Save. In theory this seems to do the trick - it turns off wireless, but lets me continue with broadband connection via ethernet cable. Only problem is that you have to schedule it. You can't have it running in Power Save mode all the time. What a pain. In practice it means that even if I schedule Power Save from 04.00 to 03.30, I find that when I turn everything on at the mains in the morning (around 9.00) it's not in Power Save mode. I have to set it to go into Power Save mode at 09.30 (you can't just switch Power Save mode on - you have to schedule it as an event in the future).
    Any suggestions? Many thanks in advance.

    @BMD
    You may find that the update has reactivated BTFon. (Customers before a certain date had to opt in to this service but new customers are automatically opted in to BTFon so may not be aware of this).
    If you never had BTFon then in theory you still shouldn't have it. You could check if you want by either using a wireless enabled PC and searching for signals or check your status on the BTFon site.
    If you are a member of BTFon then you can opt out from their site. It will take upto 48 hours for the request to be carried out. From there the ability to switch the wireless off should come back.
    A fix which is a pain if you've set your hub up to how you want it is to do a factory reset thus removing the latest firmware update and putting the wireless turn off ability back into your hub.

  • Wireless B Broadband Router (BEFW11S4) connects for only about 5 mins at a time

    I have Wireless B Broadband Router (BEFW11S4). Worked fine for about 2 years. I've had a HP Pavilion for about a year now using the wireless and also have a desktop I use on it (wired). About a month ago the speed seemed to be lagging a little and the router was never secured with a password, so I changed that and added a password. Ever since then the laptop will not stay connected for more than about 5 mins. I have gone back and removed the password protect feature, but still have the problem. It has a problem connecting to the router. The signal bars always seem to be full, but still can't connect. I've tryed reseting the router, unpluging everything, etc and can't get it to have a steady connection like before. Sometimes I can connect to the internet even when it says "Not connected" in the wireless network connection 2 screen. I've tried to search and find a similar problem, but was surprised to not be able to find one. Any insight will help.
    Thanks,
    Lman

    Thanks for the suggestions Wizzard. Although I did not know what all that stuff does, it didn't seem to help. I didn't not upgrade the firmware because there didn't seem to be any upgrades since 2003, before I bought it. Any other suggestions from anybody? Could anybody make an educated guess to whether it's the router or the laptop?
    Thanks,

  • Disable Bluetooth Option

    Our company deals with audio/video media provided by content providers and per MPAA guidelines we need our macs configured where no media content can be copied/transferred out of Macs via External Drives, Wireless, Bluetooth etc.
    I was able to configure mac to restrict copy to external connected drives. But iam wondering how to disable bluetooth option so that data transfer to a bluetooth device can be avoided. Is there a way we can disable or remove bluetooth option in Macs?

  • Is there a way to disable the option to save files in the cloud for a companies user base in the new subscription model??

    Our corporation is mandated by privacy laws within provincial legislation that prevents us from using cloud based storage outside of our province for the storage of data.  We are unable to continue using Adobe products based on the new subscription based model due to the inclusion of cloud based storage.  We need to have a way to disable the ability/option for our large corporate user base to store data files in the cloud.  Merely having the "option" to store files in a location of one's choice is not sufficient based on the policies we are legally forced to adhere to.  Without the option of disabling the cloud storage for our user base we will be forced to look at other vendors products to fill the needs we have that are currently filled by the Adobe line of products.  We would prefer to stay with Adobe products...so if someone knows how to disable this option (via registry edits, etc.), please advise.

    hi Nikolay,
    there is no clean solution for your problem. Browsers cache files by url, you can avoid caching appending in query string unique value per deployment. For example
    _layouts/my_js_file.js?v=<current date> - will be refreshed from cache when day changes
    _layouts/my_js_file.js?v=<GUID> - if guid is generated on every request, this file should never cache
    _layouts/my_js_file.js?v=<product version> - more preferable solution, browser will update cache on every new version that was deployed
    Actually, ScriptLink should take care about this, internally it has a method that appends unique id into query string based on js file content, if content changed, hash is also changed and new unique id is generated.

  • How can I disable wireless admin privileges to the router ?

    I am using an Airport Utility for Windows for Airport Extreme. For the sake of better security, how can I disable wireless admin privileges to the router so that the router can only be configured via hardwire connection?

    For the sake of better security, how can I disable wireless admin privileges to the router so that the router can only be configured via hardwire connection?
    Sorry, but this is not possible.
    If you want to limit access to administration of the router, you should change the Base Station password, and only give out that password to those individuals that you want to have access to the administration settings of the router.
    The forums have been having problems displaying screenshots, but we will attach one below in the hopes that the problems may be fixed.
    Important Note.......even with this,  "security" on the AirPort routers is an illusion.......since a one second press on the reset button will give any user 5 minutes of free access to go in and change any settings that they want. 
    So, you might want to keep any eye on things.

  • Disabling print options

    Hi,
    I am faced with a problem where we are trying to publish a multi-page document to our customers. The customers should be able to open the document and print it. However, we want to make sure that they print all pages and not be able to selectively print certain pages. Is there a way to accomplish this? The customers can always pull the plug on the printer, but atleast we should be able to disable the options for them to selectively print.
    Thanks!

    No, you do not have that level of control.

  • Disable "Deactivate" option for all applications in CS4 Design Standard

    I am deploying portions of the CS4 Design Standard Suite to a few hundred workstation with a volume license key.
    I need to disable the option of "Deactivate" under the help menu. Using the CSDT the registration can be disabled
    and after installation it is greyed out for the selected suite applications. We have users that will tamper with it
    "just because" its there so removing access is essential. Ive tried adding <Data key="Deactivate">Suppress</Data>
    to the AdobeUberInstall.xml with no success.

    Well Bob the fact that its available makes people curious as to what it does. My feeling is that if its not present then that reduces a potential problem. The users are all over the country so its not possible for me to walk over to them and ask why they thought it necessary to deactivate the application. I am fully aware that VLK's dont need to be registered DUH! But thanks a lot for the stating the obvious and posting nothing useful.

    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
        1.    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
        2.    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
        3.    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
        4.    Open iTunes.
        5.    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

  • How to disable wireless on wrt54g2?

    I have a Linksys router model wrt54g2 v1. My operating system is Windows XP Pro. The router works fine. When I ran setup the first time, I opted to enable wireless (Wi-Fi). However, the computers using the router are all cable-connected to the router, so I do not need the wireless capability. My question: How do I now disable wireless? Do I need to run the CD “Start Setup” process once again? The control panel does not seem to offer any configuration options. I have posted a screen capture of the control panel at http://64.33.7.192/linksys.gif. (I tried without success to post this question at the support Live Chat.) Thanks for your help.

    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
