Problems with Netgear router connection

Hi,
I'm trying to gain internet access on my new Mac mini running on Tiger.
Tried my old Speedtouch modem, but it's not compatible, my ISP told me I had to buy a Netgear 834G router to gain access.
I've now set up the router; telephone cable to the splitter, yellow Ethernet lead to the router and then to the Mac mini. The router indicates a line signal and registers connection to the Mac mini, so all seems OK hardwar-connection wise.
The problem comes when I try and set up in System prefs. I go into Network and input all my details as normal for Ethernet automatic connection (PPPoE). However, when I try to connect I just get a box telling me it could not find a PPPoE server?
Do I need to contact my ISP for new details or do I also need to provide other details like DNS, Domain and Proxy in the Ethernet settings to connect?
Any advice please. I've emailed my ISP support service (no reply as yet), but find you guys are far more helpful!
Best, Steve.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the advice. I'm a newbie to routers, apologies if I'm going about it all wrong.
I've tried what you suggested Ethernet is turned on as you suggest BD. Also tried setting up the DHCP setting with the Routers interface; no connection made.
I've looked into my Network Utils. and set up the Port Scan to search set with the Routers interface (it is 192.168.0.1). It did the scan, completed and bingo, Safari came up connected. I have logged onto the interface URL and set my ISP details etc. My ISP has responded with full details.
It asks for a PPPoA encapsulation by the way.
Everything was going OK until I made a phone call on my landline, (connected through the splitter filter) came back to the Mac and found it offline again? I have tried resetting the Port to another connection on the router and looked at my Network settings again, but it still won't connect?
Mail was also working OK, however, I could only receive mail and not send when it was online??
Any ideas?
Best, Steve.

Home Hub 5 problems with other router connected.

So here's a bit of a strange one...
I've had the HH5 connected as just a simple router (disabled both WiFi radios 2.4 and 5GHz) for about 4 or 5 months, with the HH5 plugged into my DIR-655 which I use for WiFi. Randomly on Friday my internet connection stopped working, even the devices plugged in via Ethernet stopped working, and the HH5 kept doing its light cycle Orange, Green, Blue etc.
I rang customer support and was on the phone for 45 minutes or so until she said that she could see a fault on the line. So I just took her word for it and waited for an engineer to come. Except the day before he came, I thought I would just try disconnecting my router and switching the HH5's WiFi back on. And the internet connection magically came back to life! I cancelled the engineer and left the setup like this for a few days. Last night I tried putting it back to how the setup was before the problem started, and haven't had any problems so far.
Has anybody experienced anything similar? Is there some sort of "calling home" that the HH5 does? I presume there's no problem in me not using their router for WiFi!?
Solved!

Just seems stupid that the router has to have WiFi enabled to function properly, it's bad enough I have to use it at all.
That's right, but it's because the firmware is now broken by the latest update and turning on the wireless is a fix.
It's not perfect, but it's better than having the Homehub rebooting all the time.

Both xp and windows 7 have video problems with my VGA connection using TV

both xp and windows 7 have video problems with my VGA connection using TV as my monitor when it gets to starting up windows no matter what version it will not I have let my mac on all night and still says starting windows or the windows 7 logo and nothing else will happen also when I use a 3rd patty software like peraills or other it works like a charm how to fix it?

To map the drive on your computer click on Start - RUN - type "\\192.168.1.1" and click ok... When prompted for Username and Password type "admin" and click ok... Now you will be able to see the folder which you have shared on your router, right click on it and select "Map network drive" and click on finish.
Now it will map the drive on your computer and you should be able to transfer the file from your computer to the USB drive.

Problems with Wireless Router and Adapter

I tried posting this in the wireless adapter forum but nobody responded :-(
I'm using a WRT54G Router btw, and the firmware is v2.02.7, Feb. 27, 2004.
Hi everyone,
I have a Linksys Wireless G Router and several computers that I try to connect with. One of them is a computer running Windows XP and using a Linksys Wireless USB B Adapter (WUSB11). Another is a laptop running Mandriva Linux using a Linksys Instant Wireless Network PC Card (WPC11). Another one is running Windows Vista and using a Linksys Wireless N card. I also have a laptop running Windows XP using a Linksys Wireless-G Notebook Adapter (WPC54G). I also have another PC running Windows XP and uses a Linksys Wireless USB Adapter WUSB54G. Finally, I have two macintosh laptops running OSX and with airport devices installed.
Anyway, I have problems with my internet connection frequently being interrupted and even sometimes I won't have a connection at all for hours. This occurs with my Linux laptop, the PC with the Wireless B Adapter, and the laptop using the Wireless G Notebook Adapter. In addition to this, the macintosh laptops have internet even more infrequently. However, I seem to never have a problem with the Windows Vista desktop or the Windows XP desktop that has the Wireless G adapter. I try repairing the connection and often it does not work. I have also tried resetting the router and the cable modem. I'm not sure what else I can do. I even bought a Wireless N router and had little success with that. We even went as far as moving the wireless router upstairs into our living room, thinking that the signal was somehow suffering from interference or that distance was a factor. Anyway, sorry for the long post but I could really use some help!
Thanks.

Hi… logon to wireless N router’s setup page, open I.E. an in the address bar type 192.168.1.1 it would ask for username and password, put "admin" as a paassword (default password) without any username...linksys setup pops up, click on on wireless tab and and try changing radio band to wide 40MHz, wide channel to 9 and wireless standard channel to 1 or 11, go to advanced wireless settings reduce beacon interval to 50, fragmentation and RTS threshold to 2304, change N Transmission rate to 270 MBps…also try upgrading latest firmware on router, check whether it makes any difference or not and let me know.

Problem with my internet connection with Mail and others

Hi
I seem to have a problem with my internet connection that is through Ethernet. I have just downloaded the update to iLife 9 and the down load speed went from zero to 1.1BB/s but most of the time it downloads at speeds around 8KB/s also Mail some times returns mail sent but there seems to be no problem sending out only that things go faster out than in. My internet speed from my ISP is 500KB/s so as you can see I was at first happy that I was getting speeds in of 1.1MB/s. I have done a diagnostic test through network also fully run Norton and finally run utilities with no problems showing. My ISP is willing to come and have a look at my internet but I some how think it's my computer, any ideas?
Thanks

The first thing I would do is completely disable Norton AntiVirus; there are no viruses for Mac OS X, so it can't protect you from something that doesn't exist. It can, however, severely slow down your system. Do that and then restart Mail and see if the problem continues.
You should also try creating a new User account and test Mail there to see if you experience the same problem; if so, then the issue is systemwide. If not, it's something specific to your regular user account.
As for your download speed, it's not 1.1MB/s; it's 1.1Mb/s. Upload speed is slower than download speed for both Cable and DSL service. I doubt the problem is your modem/router, but you should try shutting down your Mac and the modem for a few minutes. If your modem/router has a reset button, use it, then restart it and your Mac and see if the problem continues.

Problems with WRT310N router

Ok so Im having troubles installing my router, Ill just tell you whats what first off to get things out of the way.
The PC in our office was where the router is situated so I had upgraded to the WRT310N Router maybe 6 months ago, it had 1 PC hardwired to it from the basement and a wireless connection to a laptop(so 2 desktop PCs and a laptop). Some minor problems with the wireless connections but I wasnt too concerned as its used in my music studio. Recently the computer in the office had died so thats where the software for the router had been installed, the connection worked fine for the PC downstairs as with the laptop, heres where the trouble comes into play.
So I had decided to install the software for the router on the downstairs PC, as soon as it gets to the "plug it into the wall outlet" screen it sits there then reports that there was a problem with it by either me having my old router hooked up or a "bad gateway(optional or something to that effect)". At first I thought maybe it was because I had set up a static IP and forwarded my ports in the router settings through 192.168.1.1., I then reset it back the factory settings but now Im stuck. I figured maybe I should install the LELA to access the update tab but couldnt.
So now my router is nothing more then $100 paper weight due to myself not finding anything relatable on the forums. I had thought updating my network cards driver...nothing, I downloaded the firmware for the router...I have no idea on what a .bin file is nor are there any instructions on how to install it or waht to do with it, all I could come up with was that it can regonize a connection but theres no internet connection being allowed. Any ideas????
Also my ISP cant do anything

My ISP is Shaw Cable and I live in Canada, the only thing I can think of is that I had reset it back the factory settings but even out of the box it worked.

Problems with n97 apps connecting to network (Vodafone UK – 3G)
Recently a number of my apps which used to connect automatically to the internet (which ever was available – known wi-fi or 3g) have stopped doing this. They now only connect to one known wi-fi.
I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling each app, but this hasn’t solved the problem. I’ve checked for software updates and do not believe any have been applied or are available. All apps have been downloaded via Ovi on the phone. I still am able to access the internet by the web browser which was installed on the phone and via google maps (which also still manages GPS position, search, etc).
The apps which I notice causing a problem are:
Sainsbury’s/nectar
Tesco
Map my tracks
Snaptu
Opera Mini
Any one got any ideas???

I need advise and help with this problem .
First , I have been with Mac for many years ( 14 to be exact ) I do have some knowledge and understanding of Apple product .
At the present time I'm having lots of problems with the router so I was looking in to some info , and come across one web site regarding : port forwarding , IP addresses .
In my frustration , amongst lots of open web pages tutorials and other useless information , I come across innocent looking link and software to installed called Genieo , which suppose to help with any router .
Software ask for permission to install , and about 30 % in , my instinct was telling me , there is something not right . I stop installation . Delete everything , look for any
trace in Spotlight , Library . Nothing could be find .
Now , every time I open Safari , Firefox or Chrome , it will open in my home page , but when I start looking for something in steed of Google page , there is
''search.genieo.com'' page acting like a Google . I try again to get raid of this but I can not find solution .
With more research , again using genieo.com search eng. there is lots of articles and warnings . From that I learn do not use uninstall software , because doing this will install more things where it come from.
I do have AppleCare support but its to late to phone them , so maybe there some people with knowledge , how to get this of my computer
Any help is welcome , English is my learned language , you may notice this , so I'm not that quick with the respond

Genieo definitely doesn't help with your router. It's just adware, and has no benefit to you at all. They scammed you so that they could display their ads on your computer.
To remove it, see:

Do not use the Genieo uninstaller!

I am having problems with the wifi connection on my ipad 4th generation only 3 weeks old. Have left it back to the shop i bought it in and they said they have to send it away now i am left with no ipad. What after sales support do you give really?

Does anyone else have problems with the wifi connection on their 4th generation Mine keeps going off line and its only 3 weeks old.I had the ipad mini and this problem never existed. I brought it back to the shop where i bought it Expert Laois last week and they said they couldnt find a problem but had to take it back today as it keeps disconneting from wifi still, anyway they are sending it back for repair and it am left with no ipad. After spending in excess of 700e i feel that this is really bad after sales service. I bought something that i want to use now and cant so what a waste of money it is .

Thankyou, but the shop said that they spoken to apple and that they have now changed their policy and that they do not give a replacement. So are you telling me that their information is false. Also what should they have done. This problem has existed since i bought it.????? What should i do?????

Some progess I see. To be honest, i would not waste your time with trying to connect using wireless.
You are likely to get poor connections and dropping out.
If its working using a cable, then there is no need to bother with giving me the network settings, bu see how it goes, because sometimes giving the TV a static IP address can give better results.
There is an example of a couple of powerline adapters on the diagram below. Just ignore the network switch unless you want to connect other devices which are near to the TV.

Has Apple fixed the problem with 4G cellular connection?

Has Apple fixed the problem with 4G cellular connection on the iPad 3?

Cellular connection problem was for US connection in Houston, Texas. Have an iPad 2 which functions perfectely on Wi-Fi or 3G. Bought an iPad 3 strictly to get the increased speed from the 4G LTE connection. Purchased on with the AT &T cellular. Wi-Fi functions fine, but 4G LTE connection is terrible when it connects at all. Went to AT&T and they said no problems with service in my area, but never get over 2 bars and most times, Web pages load very slow or will hang and not load at all. Went to the Apple store and they said it was AT&T network problem and went to AT&T and they said no problems with their service. Went to the Apple communities forum here and discovered that many people were having the same problems with the 4G LTE cellular connection on their iPad 3's. Didn't seem to matter if it was AT&T or Verizon. So I decided that I would just return the unit and wait for Apple to fix the problem. Hence my question.
Appreciate very much your time in responding to my question.
