Router connection lost after connecting modem

Router: WRT54GX4
Background: My desktop PC had been connected to the internet through my router and DSL modem just fine. But I forgot my router password, so I reset the router.
Situation: Now my PC communicates with the router fine when the modem is NOT connected to the router (I can ping the router, access the router's Utility screens, etc.). Once I connect modem to the router, though, my PC can no longer ping or see the router. My PC will still connect fine to the internet when directly connected to the modem.
Attempted Fixes: I've believe I've tried every combination of turning off/turning on the equipment. For example, while I have a good PC/router connection, I've connected the modem to the router (and lost the router connection). Then I tried starting out with a good PC/router connection, powered off the router, connected the modem, then powered the router back on (and lost the network connection). I've restarted the PC after connecting the modem to the router, et cetera, et cetera. Every scenarion I try ends up with me losing the router connection to the PC.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

After you reset the router to factory defaults, you need to setup the router again. Use the setup disk that came with the router, or setup the router manually if you prefer. It sounds like your "Intenet Connection Type" is not setup correctly.
Please state your ISP.
Also state the make and model of your modem.
Do you have cable modem, or DSL, or ADSL ?
Did your ISP give you a PPPoE user name and password?

It's Sheila. I solved the problem by rebooting the iPad. Voila. It worked.

Connect Modem, Netgear router and 2 airports

I have a modem and separate netgear wireless router supplied by comcast. Would like to set up a wireless network using 2 airport extreme base stations, each connected via ethernet to the router.
Is this possible? I assume that both airports would be in bridge mode, each connected via ethernet to the Netgear router and then the router connected to the modem?

Welcome to the discussions!

Sure, it will work fine as you describe. You'll need to configure each AirPort Extreme to "create a wireless network" and setup security and a password for each device.
You have the option of configuring two separate wireless networks, or if you assign the exact same wireless network name, security and password to both AirPort Extremes, you will in effect create a large "extended" network.
This is called a "roaming" network because computers will automatically connect to the wireless access point with the strongest signal as they "roam" around the house. As in the above example, both AirPort Extremes would be configured in bridge mode in this type of setup.
Post back if you need any more details about this.

By searching with the "Find my iPhone" system, the device is OFFLINE and does not appear on the map.
I have already written to the lost property office of the Linate Airport but at the moment they do noto have yet responded.

Bluetooth Connection lost after a few seconds - EV...

Hey,
I have an new Nokua Lumia 920. I want to connect my Lumia via Bluetooth to my laptop and in the university I treif to connect it to another laptop, as well as to my old XDA Touch Diamon!
The problem: I can find all bluetooth devices and can also connect to them, BUT every connection is lost after about 5 seconds. This cannot be! Here are my firmware versions - are there issues?
OS-version: 8.0.10211.204
firmware-revision-version: 1232.5957.1308.0007
hardware-revision-version: 1.0.0.0

I am located in germany. Anyone has a hint or solution - phone nearly useless to me without bluetooth.
Best regards

You do not have to be bluetooth connected to transfer files to and from the phone.
Initiate the trandfer and it will happen. If they have been paired before, no passcode will be required.
Theey won't keep a BT connection because none of the profiles the phone has requires one.

Cannot locate wireless Airport hubs in Airfoil after upgrading modem and router?

Cannot locate wireless Airport hubs in Airfoil after upgrading modem and router? Just replaced modem and router-Airport is working for internet connection, but I cannot locate the two additional sites in my home to feed music to. Each is connected with a Apple wireless hub. Thanks

To work in this configuration, you just need to setup the AX as a bridge.
To set up the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a bridge, using the AirPort Admin Utility, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, make these settings:
Network tab
- Distribute IP addresses (unchecked)
- Apply the new setting.

Physical Interface not present in show ip route connected

Hi,
Thanks for reading my post.
I have a reccurent issue with a CISCO881-K9.
My WAN interface is regularly unsuable even if it's UP/UP. I can't even ping the interface from the router itself.
A reboot solves the issue. But now I have time and I'd like to get a proper understanding of what's going on.
The route doesn't appear in "show ip route connected".

Hi,
Thanks for your answer. I've checked the release notes and there is no bug about that.
I think I must use the WAN interface which is fastethernet 4. I'm not able to change the patch cable for now.
What could be the cause?

Internet speed impacted when router connected

I have been keeping a constant check on our internet speed, primarily because our Bell Sympatico service peaks and troughs .. my speed without the router is 5600kbps .. when I connect the router however my speed drops to 2,200 .. why is that .... and can it be fixed .. because before I switched to this router, I had a d-link which recorded the same speed with or without the router connected.
I've been giving Bell grief and have a service ticket out, which I may not need it seem to be the router ?
Router is the WRT320N
Message Edited by steelefamily on 10-06-2009 06:12 AM

1) When you said your speed drops to 2200 kbps, I assume you mean your speed when your computer is wired to the router -- is that correct?
2) And I assume by "kbps", you do mean "kilobits per second", not "kilobytes per second" -- is that correct?
3) If the answer to both 1 and 2 is yes, then the first thing to do is simply reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
4) There are several other things that can give you slow speed when wired to the router including:
a) using point-to-point (P2P) software. This is a known cause for router slow downs and disconnections. It can cause problems for several days after use. Stop the P2P.
b) unnecessarily adding a "Domain name" to your router. If your ISP does not require a domain name, erase the domain name from your router.
c) turning on "logging" in the router. Logging is only for diagnostic purposes, otherwise, turn logging off.
d)  Sometimes Linksys routers seem to have trouble synching to some very old modems. The solution is to get a new modem.
e) Some computers will slow if you are using a wired and a wireless connection at the same time. Turn off your wireless adapter.
f)   Improper setup of modem and/or router --- to fix this, we will need more info:
5) Please state your ISP
6) Please state the make and exact model number of your modem (not the WRT320N).
7) Please do the following test:
Power down your entire network. Using an ethernet cable, connect your modem directly to your computer. (Do not use the WRT320N for this test.) Power up the modem and computer. Verify that you have a working Internet connection, then proceed with the following: (Even if your Internet connection does not work, state this, and proceed.)
Go to "Start" > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
A black DOS box will appear. Type in "ipconfig /all" (with no quotes), then hit the Enter key.   Copy all the results to your next post. To do the copy, highlight the results, then use the copy (Ctrl-c) keys and the paste (Ctrl-v) keys. If your "IP address" does not start with 192.168 , then for security reasons, erase the last half of your IP address.

E1200 Router Connecting Dlink DIP-714P+

Dear All,
I am replacing old D-Link DI-714P+ router with E1200.
The old configuration was a printer connecting to D-Link router, and allow for wireless printing.
Therefore, may I know how do I configure E1200 so that I still can print wirelessly, while connected to E1200 network.
Assuming the printer still connected to Dlink router, can we print to E1200 then bridge to Dlink ?
Thank you.
regards,
Chong KK

If you will replace the old router with the E1200 you simply need to configure the router to work with the modem and setup the wireless settings using the CD. If the printer is connected wired to the Dlink router you simply need to disconnect it from the Dlink and connect it to the E1200 router. After doing that the printer should work and you should be able to do wireless printing. However if the printer is wireless capable and you want to connect that wirelessly to the E1200, then you will need to setup the wireless printer to connect to the wireless settings setup for the E1200 router (you can refer to your printer documentation for that).
Now if you will leave the Dlink router connected and if you just want to cascade the E1200 router to it then there is a different configuration for that. Base on my understanding you want to leave the printer connected to the dlink and you would like to connect wirelessly to the E1200 router right? Then you need to connect the E1200's ethernet port (one of the yellow ports) to the Dlinks ethernet port as well. This is called LAN to Lan Connection. To know how to do that then click on the link below:
Cascading (Connecting) a Linksys router to another router
After doing it you can then Configure the wireless settings of the E1200 manually since you cannot setup the router using the CD with LAN to LAN configuration.
Configuring the wireless security of your Linksys Wireless-N router through the web-based setup page

Somewhat Frightening Message after Changing Modem / Router Hardware

Yesterday, I changed my DSL Modem/Router to be a DSL Modem only, and added a different router by using its WAN port.
This essentially shut off control of the original modem/router, and moved it to the new router.
Now, we have 4 computers connected via ethernet cables, and none on Wireless. All are turned off, except my partner's Windows XP machine, which, suddenly today has a new message at the bottom left of his Login Window:

Belkin wireless router connected but browser could not find the host server

my new roommate has a belkin n wireless router connected to a cable modem which functions perfectly on her pc laptop. i am trying to connect my MacBook Pro to the router using her WEP password. this all works fine and my System Preferences/Network/Status shows that AirPort is connected with full strength, but i cannot load any web pages (i have not yet been able to load any pages at all using this router). the page load error reads "Firefox can't find the server at www.cnn.com" and "The browser could not find the host server for the provided address".
I spoke with Belkin support and they say the router is functioning properly, that is a problem with my mac.
When I go to Network Diagnostics, the status shows all green and says "This computer's Internet connection appears to be operating normally. Are you sure you want to use Network Diagnostics?
Could this be a firewall issue? A couple people have suggested that, but I'm not sure how to fix that.
I have tried rebooting the router and cable modem, rebooting the mac, etc.
any ideas on what settings i may need to investigate??
thank you!

how do I know if the router has useful DNS servers? i am looking at the settings of the router on the pc that is online.
Somewhere in the settings of the router should be the DNS servers that it is using. Since the router is offering via DHCP to do DNS translation for your Mac, it must have useful DNS servers listed.
There are "public" DNS servers. I have no experience with it, but this Web page describes one from Google:
http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/
Supposedly Google has a DNS server at IP addresses 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 that you might try. Since the DNS server setting on your Mac is grayed out, as a test you might try noting the setting in the "TCP/IP" tab of your AirPort connection item of the Network panel of System Preferences. Then switch from "Using DHCP" to "Manually", fill in the values you just noted, switch to the DNS tab and fill in Google's DNS addresses, and see if things work better.
do you have any other suggestions of where to seek help???
Perhaps a Belkin discussion group?

Can't get DNS for laptop on router connected to shared NIC

I have my router connected to my PC on one NIC that is shared. Another NIC connects from the PC to the cable modem. The laptop is able to see and connect to the shared wiresless router but cannot receive a DNS address. No internet browsing. On the same shared wireless connection I have an XBox that can connect and get a DNS response. Also the PC has no trouble connecting to the internet.

It sounds like your network is setup this way:
modem - PC - router )))) laptop
                                 )))) Xbox
Is this the way your system is set up? If so, why?
Most systems are setup like this:
modem - router - PC
                         )))) laptop
                         )))) Xbox

Moving router connections

Presently have router connections in my basement. How hard is it to move connections to first floor?

For connectons, are you talking about something like a homerun? This is something where Verizon will install a splitter at your NID/enterance point that will filter out the DSL for the rest of your home. The DSL modem will be given it's own dedicated line.
If you don't have one of these, moving the router should be as simple as taking the modem/router upstairs and plugging it into a telephone line and power. If it syncs and your speeds are correct, it's probably good to go.
If you do need to change around any of the wiring, things depend on how your home is wired to begin with.

HT4197 router connection on ipod touch

HOW TO GET ROUTER CONNECTION ON MY IPOD TOUCH

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
