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.

I don't know if this is a Firefox problem so I ask, When printing how come it always prints so small I nearly need a magnafing glass? Is this caused by something else I may have set incorrectly? help please, from a very satisfied Firefox user

I don't know if this is a Firefox problem so I ask, When printing how come it always prints so small I nearly need a magnifying glass? Is this caused by something else I may have set incorrectly? help please, from a very satisfied Firefox user

This only happens when I'm in my browser. Ex. when I'm on a site and I decide I like what I see and want to print it text that is, my printer always prints tiny. When I'm in Microsoft Word for ex. I print it and it looks like what I expect. So I don't know if somehow my printer got set to print tiny when on the web. If you can help me I would be most appreciative. Thanks again for your response.

Westell 7500 Wireless modem/router help please.

Hi, newbie here
I recently purchased a laptop for the first time in my life and I am trying to connect it to a wireless connection, which I have never done as well. I am using a Westell 7500 modem provided to me by Verizon. I did a bit of researched and apparently (if I'm correct) I don't need a wireless router or any other devices to get wireless internet.
If I am correct, I went to my modem's IP address and turned on wireless. I set up and changed the SSID and enabled a pass phrase, and I connected to the network at the bottom right. It connects, but there is no internet connection. What I mean by this is that it connects to the device successfully, but there is a triangular yellow warning sign with an exclamation mark on my internet bar at the bottom right and in my "Network and Sharing center" it says "no internet access."
Am I doing something wrong or do I need to buy an wireless router? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

You do not need to buy a wireless router. the 7500 will do the job! I assume you have windows 7. OPen network and sharing center, manage wirleless networks, do you have any entries for your Verizon ISP? If yes delete the entry and go to step 2.
If no go to desktop and press f1 to bring up help - search for (Setp 2) "set up wirless network" and let us know if that works for you. Welcome to the forum

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...

Mail Opening Problems & Setting up GoogleMail - Help Please

I have just bought the new 24" iMac.
I have imported my old email, no problem.
When I open mail, the app opens but not the mail window, to do this I have to click 'New Viewer Window'. How do I get Mail to open as a window?
I am also trying to set up my googlemail account.
I have enabled IMAP in my googlemail and saved changes. I have chosen the Account Type IMAP, description 'GoogleMail', Incoming Mail Server: imap.googlemail.com, my googlemail email address, my googlemail password and clicked 'Continue'.
The mail windows just says 'checking connection to mail server imap.googlemail.com...' but that is as far as it will go.
Please will you help me to: when I click on 'Mail' the Mail window opens, and connect to googlemail?
Thanks in anticipation

Grrr again
I said I had imported all my mail....WRONG!!!
All the folders are there but no bloomin emails...could you help with how I import these from my old iMac to this new one via file sharing please

Curve 8520 set-up newbie help please - have wifi but no browser, no internet, no email

I have just acquired this near-new pre-owned Curve. It appeared to have been correctly data-cleared by the previous owner. I've run the set-up wizard and everything worked fine. It's connected to my wifi with a strong signal. But
1. the browser says "Unable to connect to the Internet - contact your service provider", and
2. the email set-up screen does not offer "I want to create or add an email address" as in the User Guide - only "I want to use a work email account" which I don't have and don't want! The screen message says if the "add email address"' option is not shown, contact your wireless provider.
I don't understand! If my TalkTalk broadband (wifi) is connecting my laptop to the internet with no problem, what more do I have to do to get the Blackberry (connected to the same wifi) onto the internet too?
3. And how do I connect to the internet via the phone (Vodafone PAYG) when I am not in wifi range?
Finally:
4. Why does my phone say "unknown number" when it's calling out? The User Guide says it should show my own number. Surely it knows this number from the Sim card?
Completely out of my depth here, as you can see....
Big thanks in advance for any help
Michael
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hiya, as per the messages your phone is giving you.... You need to contact Vodafone.
In order to use the majority of data features on your phone such as email or BBM, you need a blackberry data plan rather than the generic one from your carrier.
So give Vodafone a call - I believe the BlackBerry Bolt On on PAYG is £5 a month with some inclusive data.

Illustrator Data Sets and Variables Help Please

Hi, how's everyone doing? I need a little help with Data Sets and Variables, or at least i believe that's what i need help with. Ultimately i am trying to run an action on a batch of files.
I have an eps file with two images placed side by side. They are the same image. I am trying to replace both images and save the file accordingly. Trying to make this happen using a bunch of files. All the files can be in one folder and will be the same size.
I hope this make sense and what i need done is doable.
Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Not sure a I read you correctly but if I understand you
what you have to do is make the first two images as dynamic variables using the variable panel and save it as a data set
then replace those two images and save those as a data set
So now you have data set one and two.
You can save that as an variable library (xml)and that can be loaded into other documents.
The question is can it be actioned?
It can be scripted and do you want the same two images to replace the same two image in each document.
I think you really have to tell us more.

Verizon USB 720 - router help please!

Hope this isn't a repeat - I searched & couldn't find anything on my Modem.
I live in a rural area and use the Verizon USB 720 modem for my home PC. I just got a Dell laptop and want to connect it to the internet via my Verizon service. I heard I can do this with a Linksys router. Which one do I need, and what else is required? I don't want to pay $$$ & then find out it can't be done. Also, how far can I go with my laptop and still have an internet connection? Any help would be appreciated.

Yes. It is possible. Technically it is an access point you'll need. But you can use a router as well. Routers are usually cheaper but more limited then the versatile Linksys WAP... devices. If you want to use a router you should check this thread.
The other alternative could be to get a wireless adapter for your desktop and create an ad-hoc wireless connection between the desktop and the laptop. Basically, your desktop would then play access point. I cannot tell how good this works. I think it should work without problems but I have never tried it myself. Moreover, you may be limited to a single wireless connection, i.e. a single ad-hoc wireless connection from the desktop at each time (in case you want to get a second laptop in the future). But I am not sure on this either.

Encrypted router help, please

I wanted to secure my Linksys wireless router. Went through the setup procedures and all appeared fine. But my iBook won't access it, even after entering the password. I didn't try my pc on it, I just disabled the password for now till I can get it figured out.
I used to not have neighbors but now I do and I want to make sure they don't access my home network.
LinkSys - BEFW11S4 ver.2

you could try this, it will keep the average computer user off your internet connection.
log into the linksys and turn off the "broadcast SSID" option
also turn off the encryption for now
now on your mac click on the air port radar icon in the menu bar
you should not see your network any more
click on other and type in the name of your network (change it to something besides linksys if you have not already on your linksys router)
now you should be connected, and your linksys WIFI signal will not show up on any ones computer that searches for wireless networks.
you can go a step further in preferences/network and set this location up as a default so whenever you are in range of your home network you will automatically connect to it, no typing passwords or any of that nonsense.
warning: no one will be able to log onto you network now unless they know the SSID which will keep people from poaching your internet connection but your not on an encrypted network so if you live next door to a hacker they may be able to intercept your wireless transmissions if they are so inclined. so you can turn encryption on to avoid this and enter the password into your keychain. you will get a pop up window and you will have to press ok to connect to your network.
hope this helps

Router help please

i just moved to minnestoa from florida and brought only my macbook. when i got here the internet was a little slow so i got a seperate router for my room. i installed it on my macbook and set it up there.....now my question is, i just purchased a macbook pro and am thinking about giving my macbook to my parents in florida so they can have another laptop, do i need to reintall the wirless router disk on my new lap top or am i ok not having it there? i'm new to this and searched the forums but couldn't find anything.

You need to make sure that you have an active internet connection through your dsl/cable modem. If you don't have internet connection through your modem then you need to contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and tell them that you need to have your internet connection back because your router will not work if you don't have an active internet connection through your modem.
If you do have internet connection from the modem all you need to do is to make sure that the modem is connected to the Internet Port of the router ( the port that's by itself ) and to connect one pc to the ethernet port (example to port 1 ). Access the router set-up page ( in the address bar type in 192.168.1.1). Set the wireless settings. Click on the Security tab and disable Block Anonymous Internet Request. Click on the Setup tab and change the Local ip address to 10.10.2.1 and make sure that the Internet connection type is set to Automatic, save the settings. When you do that you will loose the page. Just do a power cycle (unplug the power cord of the router for 30 seconds and plug it back again). Check if your online.

OK. I am having a little bit of trouble understanding your responses, but let's start with this since you are having an issue with other apps as well.
Reboot your iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up completely and then try again.

HELP PLEASE !!! Can't get Linksys router to work.

Okay, I am a new owner of an Alu-imac 2.4 ghz !!!!!!
Installed Leopard last night and wanted to get my internet set up and ……. IT DIDN'T WORK !!!!!!!!
The Diagnostic thing wouldn't recognize my internet.
(Info for you):
1) I have an Linksys wireless router that is right behind the computer. I have to have a router for my 360 and my PS3 across the room. So I had the cable internet modem hooked to the wireless router and then to the computer. (just like it was hooked up to my PC)
2) I tried everything I could think of to get it to work. The diagnostic show that the Ethernet had a green light, but it would not let me online at all.
3) So then I tried unplugging the modem and the router and still nothing. (It gets stuck on the page where it asks "do you use a cable modem, if so please restart it and then hit continue") And still nothing.
4) So then I tried to just run the internet straight from the cable modem to the imac, and this didn't work either….. Then for some reason like a 1/2 later the network settings brought up the IP and everything and I had internet.
5) *But I need my Linksys router to be used !!!!* Is there any advice any of you can give me !!! I can call Linksys if I need to when I get off work, but I thought maybe some of you could help me first. *I did have to call Linksys before I could get the router to work on my old PC as well*, so maybe it's something with them ????
HELP PLEASE !!!! I want to love my Imac so much.

fonz500, are you still having this issue or is this now a dead thread?
Let us know if your still need help.

Help setting up router for wireless printer

I recently purchased a wireless printer - but haven't been able to connect to the router. Router is a Linksys wireless G 2.4ghz w/ SecureEasySetup (SES). When I activate the SES button on the router - it will connect with the printer - but the router then re sets itself, my SSID changes to the Linksys default and I loose internet connection.
How can I use SES without the router resetting?

I assume that your wireless printer does not have SES.
When you use SES, the router resets the wireless settings. SES is designed to be used when both devices (router and wireless adapter) both have the SES feature. If only one device has the SES feature, then you cannot use the SES button, and the non-SES device must be setup manually.
Login to your router at 192.168.1.1, and write down the following settings on a piece of paper:
SSID
encryption type (probably WPA)
encryption key (sometimes called Password or Passphrase)
Next, follow the installation procedure for your wireless printer. At some point in the install procedure, it will ask you for the above info.
If you need more help, please state the model and version of your router. Also, please state the make and model of your printer.
