Problems re-setting up BEFW11S4 V2 wireless router

I disconnected the Linksys wireless router as well as the RCA DSL/Cable modem. When I tried to reconnect, 1) the wireless network is no longer seen by my laptop, and 2) does not appear the cable/dsl modem and wireless router do not recognize each other.
I can't recall with slot in the wireless router the ethernet cable from the cable/dsl box should be connected to and I realize it should have been just a plug and play.
Sorry for the the non-technical explanation, but any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

• Set the router to Obtain IP Automatically or DHCP.
• Disable the Block WAN Request and clone the PC's MAC address.
• Change the LAN IP of the router to 192.168.2.1.
• Perform a power cycle.

Problems with BEFW11S4 V2 Wireless Router

I just brought in this BEFW11S4 V2 to work to use as a temporary wireless router. Last night I had it working perfectly at home, updated the firmware got it all setup for work and all was good.
I bring it in today power it on, plug an ethernet cable into it and a desktop so that I can get my WEP password off the 192.168.1.1 ui. Bam windows comes up with limited or no connectivity. Try to enter setup anyways through ie and its a no go. Run an ipconfig get a 169.254.160.74, something ive never witnessed. Did a release and a renew, no dice. Tryed on another computer, same deal. So I download linksys site advisor program maybe it will fix this, nope it says that it doesnt detect a router. Ive tryed other ethernet cables and nothing seems to work.
Can anyone help me? I dont know where to go? Is there anyway I can set the router to factory defualts without being able to enter the ie ui? Help is greatly appreciated.

Issue Resolved, figured out how to hard reset it.

Help with Verizon Router and Setting Up a Second Wireless Router

I had my network set up until I had intermittent loss of the internet. So I received a new Verizon router and I cannot figure out how to use the second wireless router which I used to have working just fine.
The new Verizon router is the Actiontec MI424WR and it is installed in my basement and the signal is weak. However there is a cat5 wire snaked up from the Actiontec router to my home office. Currently that is plugged into the back of my computer for internet acess. My second router is the Trendnet 300Mbps Wireless N Home router. ANd this is the router that I would like to use (and used to use) to trasmit the internet connection throughout the house as well as use for a wired connection to my home security system.
I attempted to plug the cat5 wire from the Actiontec into the back of the Nextrend router (1,2,3,4 and not the WAN) but then would lose the internet signal whether I attempted to log on via wired or wireless. Must be some kind of settings I need to change.
Can anyone help me to understand how to add the second router? I am relatively computer literate but cannot understand the instructions from Verizon. Thanks in advance.

Problem connecting Nokia C3 to home wireless route...

Good day, Nokia!
I recently bought a Nokia C3-00 WiFi phone but I can't seem to browse my home wireless connection with it. The phone can detect and connect with the wireless network successfully but when I open my mobile browser, it can't load websites, saying "Service not available."
However, I can connect and browse the internet through other WiFi hotspots, just not my home connection. The router I'm using is LP-8616. It's an AP router, if that helps. Unfortunately, there's no firmware upgrade for this router anymore.
I've read all the threads about this problem here and all over the internet but still nothing works for me. Hope you or somebody here could help me to finally solve this problem. More Power!

Allsolution from another post, see /t5/Cseries/C3-wifi-problem-connect-to-wlan-but-internet-not-work/m-p/950115#M14517. Found out how to solve the problem of connecting via WLAN in the following way (the phone was able to connect to the Internet only through the GSM provider network):
Step 1: Menu> Settings> Configuration> Personal Settings> Add> Web or Streaming or any other (Just add, needs no other settings)
Step 2: Menu> Settings> Configuration> Default config. settings (choose MyWeb, Personal Settings or the name created at step 1)
Step 3: Menu> Settings> Configuration> Personal settings (delete the field created in step 1) then go to Menu> Settings> Configuration> Preferred access point (choose one of the available options)
Now you can open your browser and try to connect. It should ask what method you choose (WLAN or Access Point Preferred)
If your phone does not want to be connected via the GSM provider network, the user can manually enter settings for defining an Access Point (Step 4)
Step 4: Menu> Settings> Configuration> Personal Settings> Add> Access Point (check with GSM provider for account settings)
Step 5: Menu> Settings> Configuration> Preferred access point (select the field you created earlier)
I know that what I wrote above may seem like science fiction for a user who is not accustomed to butoneasca phone and non-stop, but I assure you that the operation should take no longer than 5 minutes.

Problem connecting to internet with WRT54GL wireless router.

Hey fellas. I currently have a cable modem and a Linksys WRT54GL router with DD-WRT flashed connected to two computers. My desktop is wired to it, and I have a Windows XP and Mac OS X partition on my Macbook Pro, which uses the wireless connection. My PC is working fine, and the OS X partition on my Macbook Pro is running fine, but the XP partition is not doing too hot. Thing is, I have a connection to the router with an excellent signal strength, but Im getting BARELY any packets sent/received, if any. My settings are set to be assigned from the DHCP, but I can't seem to ping the assigned IP. I type ipconfig /all and everything seems to be in order - nothing abnormal to speak of, but I'm getting nothing For the record, I'm using WPA2 security. I'd really appreciate any help you guys can offer. I'm pretty tech-savvy so don't be afraid to use some more technical terms with me. Thanks in advance!

I think I should add that the windows partition does not seem to work when connecting to any other network, as well.

How to set up Airport Extreme wireless router

Hello. I am trying to connect my Airport Extreme base station to my phone line connection.
From the phone line there is an ADSL filter which has a RJ11 output and phone modem. I purchased a RJ11 to RJ45 (Ethernet) and tried to plug into my router. The airport extreme doesn't recognise anything being plugged in!
My ISP is TalkTalk. This is a secondary router. Other one is a Netgear using downstairs phone modem.
Any help would be grately appreciated
Sam

Thanks for your answer.
So if i buy a DSL modem and go Phone line > DSL modem > Airport Extreme > Mac / WiFi - will that work?
Do you recommend any specific DSL modems that dont use USB (or USB...)?
Thanks

Set up belkin wireless router now cant send mail

I set up a belkin wireless router n1 for a thinkpad t61. my primary computer that I'm useing is a imac g5. I went through the tourturus process of speaking with tech support both with verizon for my dsl modem and belkin with the router. I was told and walked through the steps of bridging the modem, whatever that means. why i have to bridge the modem I have no idea. I was told by verizon in order to set up a secure wireless network it had to be in bridge mode.
problem now is that I can send simple e-mail on the mac but when I try to send pictures with e-mails it wont send the mail. is it a problem with bridge mode? Please help if you can. very frustrating not understanding what needs to be done or why im doing it.
thank you adam z.

Hooking up/configuring a WRT54G2 wireless router to my wired modem/router.

Problem description: I have bought a wireless router (Linksys WRT54G2) in order to connect it to my ADSL2+ modem/router (a TP-Link TD8840) to provide wireless internet access to my iPhone and laptop. I only intend to power on the wireless router when I need it, not have it on all the time wasting electricity.
Attempted fixes: Configuring the WRT54G2 per the install CD, but this appears to mean I must have my wireless router always powered on in order to access the internet even when I'm not using the wireless. Ideally I just want to turn on the wireless router as and when I need it.
Operating system: Windows XP Pro (32-bit) SP3.
So, as my description says, I bought a WRT54G2 so I can browse the web on my iPhone using my DSL connection rather than the cellular (3G) network. I currently have the WRT54G2 plugged in from one of its four ethernet ports to an ethernet port on my wired modem/router. The IP of my modem/router is 192.168.1.1, which also appears to be the default ip for the WRT54G2 So I can't access my WRT54G2's admin screen to properly set up the network.
At this point I feel as if I should reset the WRT54G2 to factory settings and start from scratch, but I lack a coherent set of instructions to point me on my way. It's a bit frustrating because I'm pretty good with computers generally, but networking obviously is not my thing. Can anyone please help

Hi modeski,
To setup your WRT54G2 router and make it work with your modem/router there, chnage first the IP of the WRT54G2 from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.2.1 before you connect it to the modem/router.
In other words, you are cascading two routers.
Hope this help!

Can't get older mac to connect to wireless router

I have an older G4 mac, which had an Airport wireless snow type of router. I've currently upgrade to an iMac with an Airport Extreme router. I can't get the old G4 to 'see' the Airport Extreme Network, so I can use the other computer to check email and get on the internet. Do I have to load in the same Airport software on both machines? Any help will be appreciated.

On my G4, I have the software installed which I used when setting up my other wireless router, the snow M8440. Could this be the problem?
Yes. Let's take a step back. You can use any computer to configure your new Airport Extreme, but first be sure you have installed the Airport Utility program from the link I posted above. The earlier version of Airport Utility you used for your Snow Airport doesn't have the necessary features to configure your new Airport Extreme.
The only reason to keep the old Airport Utility program would be to configure your old Snow Airport Base Station, which you're not using any more. So put it aside.
Since you're having trouble getting your G4 to connect at all, it makes sense to use your new iMac to configure your new AirPort Extreme. So let's use it for now.
The ability to use the dual band feature of the new Extreme is described starting on page 20 of the following: Apple Airport Networks (early 2009). The document is very lengthy but don't let that bother you - Apple's Airport base stations are extremely versatile and the manual gets very detailed, but most of it won't concern you.
I made a wireless network named Airport Extreme on my iMac.
The way you worded this concerned me, so at the risk of sounding Presidential, "let me be clear"
Technically, you don't want to create a wireless network on your iMac - the wireless network with which you want to connect is created by your Extreme, and you use Airport Utility to make that happen.
Your Airport icons on all your computers should look like one of these:
If it looks like this:
then you have created a "computer to computer network". You don't want that.
Next: the passage of the Apple Airport Networks manual above also describes how to set up your Airport Network's wireless security...
I click on the Airport Extreme, the next window comes up with Wireless Security: WEP password. I type in my password I used to set up the Airport Extreme network, and get the following error message: There was an error joining the Airport network "Airport Extreme". ...
I advocate using no security at first, to eliminate one roadblock when first configuring a network. After everything works, set up WPA or WPA2 Personal. I'm reasonably sure your G4 supports it. The older WEP protocol is no longer considered secure - it amounts to "feel-good" security.
I trust this gets things pointed in the right direction. If you're still stuck write back and we'll get you un-stuck. Your G4 will work with your new Extreme.

New wireless router won't allow ATV2 to connect to internet

My new Apple TV was working fine until I "upgraded" my wireless router to a Linksys N. Now the ATV shows it has an IP address but it 1) can't connect to the iTunes store because it's not able to retrieve the correct time, and 2) it doesn't recognize that Home Sharing is turned on. (Of course it also doesn't have access to YouTube and so on.)
What should I look for in the router settings? I've tried re-setting ATV, unplugging everything, etc., to no avail. I tried setting ATV to a static IP address and allowing that address via the router, but that only allowed part of YouTube to be available (menu was there, content wasn't) and wasn't really the solution. Any help is appreciated.

Hello:

One of my sons had a similar problem with a different brand of wireless router, but I cannot recall what he told me he did to solve the problem. I do remember that it had something to do with the proper password, so that may not be relevant to you.

Linksys Wireless Router Conflicting with Wireless Keyboard and Mouse?

I am getting ready to purchase a Linksys Wireless-N Router with a PCI Wireless-N Adapter (2). Will I have a conflit with my Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse? I have two home computers that I want to set up with a wireless router. Should I use a Linksys Wireless-N Home Router or a Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router? Which Wireless-N PCI Adapters should I use?

No you should not have a problem with the router conflicting with the wireless keyboard/mouse. They are on a different frequency all together from the wireless router.

2nd wireless router security settings

Hi, hope someone can answer this for me.
I have a WRT-610N and I've just set up a 2nd wireless router (E3000) to extend range of my wireless network.
Same SSID, same subnet, DHCP off etc. All works fine. Network passwords I set identically.
My question is: what security settings should I apply on the 2nd router? i.e. I have MAC address filtering on the internet-connected primary router, the WRT-610N - should I apply this on the E3000 also?
thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

1. wireless MAC filtering is useless anyway. Don't set it up. It's only causing problems to you. (You would have to set it up on all access points/routers)
2. Setup WPA2 Personal with AES and a strong passphrase. That's secure.
3. Set up identical SSID and wireless security setting on both for a roaming network.
4. Choose different channels on both, if you use static channel assignments to avoid interference.
5. Make sure SSID broadcast is enabled.

How to setup netgear N150 wireless Router to apple tv ?

No automatic connection to a wireless router after startup!

After adding a new wireless router to my home network an iMac G5 does not automatically connect to the wireless network after startup.
And so the story began: I'm running a wireless network for years without problems at my home. The wireless router is a Orinoco 102.11b with 128-Bit WEP encryption and I have 4 different Mac connected to it.
Because I wanted to use the higher 54 MBit/s speed and a more secure encryption for my network I've installed a LINKSYS wireless router and configured it for 102.11g and WPA2.
Everything worked fine except the automatic connection after restart on my iMac G5 running Mac OS 10.4.10. I can connect to the new wireless router but I have to do it manually after each restart. The password is therefore stored in the login keychain. The connection can be established automatically after sleep but not after startup...
So I switchted the connection back to the old router and got unfortunately the same behaviour. The iMac does not connect any more automatically to the router after startup. I removed the new router from the network, deleted all wireless passwords from the system and login keychains, created new keychains, switched back and forth the preferred vs. automatic network selection, created new locations, changed the root password and so on...
It seems that the new password entry in the system keychain causes an error in the password encryption of the system keychain which prevents the automatic connection to the network after startup. Replacing the keychains from my backup does not work either after I've once created a the system keychain.
Is there any log file, which may proof my assumption or can give me some more information of the erroneous login process to the wireless network during startup.

One thing that can work, try this, *please ignore the exact symptoms and connection and Hardware types*, it's worked for many others than the stated...

Hp photosmart 7520 - can fax, get calls but not receive fax with bundoed service and wireless router

I finally got the printer set up to my wireless router and am able to fax and receive calls but now I can't send a fax.
I have a bundled service phone, internet and cabl;e with voice mail.
I have reduced the number of rings to 2 and turned off automatic answer. ready to pull my hair out!!
HP tech service was no help and neither was the cable company. Got this far on my own but hit a wall!
any thoughts?

Hello @mull274 , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are running into fax issues. I would like to help.
I would recommend performing a power reset on the printer. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would also recommend this document on Fax Sending Fails Intermittently.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
