WRT 110 - New Router not detected

I am having problems with the setup wizard. Im getting "New router not detected". It's all setup correctly. I've reset modem, router and rebooted 100 times atleast. I can get on the internet when the modem is conected through the router. Also, I cant get to the 192.168.1.1 router setup. I have set up other linksys routers without problems. We are on Time Warner cable internet. Please help before I smash this thing.

I have an older Linksys (twin antenas) product so bought this for my son in Ohio. He tried to connect the router using his laptop and could not do it...after calling support (Punjab in India) they could not resolve the problem or begin to figure it out. After watching a 6 year old on YouTube hook up a router, I figured it couldn't be that hard so I told him to send the WRT 110 to me along with his laptop.
After trying the install myself (using the supplied CD), I could not connect to the internet via the wired laptop-router-modem either. So I figured the wireless device of the laptop may be interfering with the router. So I went to Control Panel>>Network Connections>> and right clicked on "Wireless Connection" and clicked "DISABLE". After that, the laptop DID connect to the internet via the ethernet cable.
When I tried to login to the new wireless network using another laptop, I could not connect after repeated attempts using the letter "O" and the number "0" of the WEP code generated by the CD install. I finally COPIED and PASTED the WEP code to a Word document, saved to a stick, then transfered the doc to the wireless laptop. After COPY and PASTE of the WEP code to the LOGIN >>>SUCCESS.
The wireless connection works fine two floors away from the router as does my old antenna router did, so the "range" problem reported by others is a mystery to me. Don't know why the "support" couldn't have solved this problem....I'm not a real computer nerd, but can do "trial and error" fixes.
Bottom line: router works fine and is better looking than the "antenna" ones but who cares??? I go for the blinking lights anyway <g>

Router not detected

I need help. The software doesn't detect the router. I know I've followed all directions correctly; I've reset the router and my computer several times. It always gets to 9% when it's detecting the router, then it says "router not detected. Make sure all cables are plugged in correctly." All my cables are plugged in correctly. I am so frustrated. My cable internet company is not helpful because the router is not their product. I wonder is something is faulty with my router.

I have the same problem and have exhausted all strategies for successfully having the Linksys Easylink Advisor detect my brand new WRT300N wireless router.
I have my A+, Network+ and MCSA certifications, so I don't think you are doing anything wrong, Kristen.
The Web interface works (http://192.168.1.1/) and the router is active and working.
Their little buggy app doesn't detect the router, period. It did for a month or so and then stopped. I have the latest firmware installed and the app phones home to update itself. I do not know at what point it stopped working. Sure is annoying and a waste of our time.

LELA "Router Not Detected"

I just purchased a Linksys WRT54G V8.2 router. I just opened the box and have been attempting to get the wireless network setup.
I am currently posting as I am connected via eathernet cable though the WRT54G router
My problem is when I attempt to set this up using the LELA, I keep getting the "Router Not Detected" error. Everything is plugged in, all lighs are on. As I said, I am currently connected to the internet using this router, but with a wired ethernet cable, I cannot get the wireless setup.
LELA will not let me do anything until it can detect the router, can anyone help me figure out what is wrong here?
Thanks.

I'm having the same issue.
My router works fine and I can log into it from a web page but each time I try to install Lela, it will not detect the router (even though all of the required lights are on/blinking, etc).
I have uninstalled Lela, rebooted, and cleared out the Registry.
I have tried multiple router resets and have also updated the firmware.

Router Not Detected (Desperate Help Needed)

This is the third Router I've bought and so far all three have given me problems. I have a WTGS54 v7 Router. On the day I bought it, I popped in the CD and immediately I had a problem. It said it couldn't detect my router and thus I couldn't go through with the full installation. Now everything is hooked up properly and I've checked about a billion times and even called customer support to make sure it was hooked up correctly. The CD installation won't go past the 'Configuring the router' stage. The strange thing is, the internet is working and my sister can access the internet via the router as well despite that it was never even completely installed. I figured since everything was working properly, I could just put the problem that it couldn't detect my Router behind me. However, at this point a few months later it's starting to give me issues. The connection is intermittent, lagy, and inconsistent. On Port 1 (My port), the led is flickering rapidly. On port 2(My sister's port), the led flickers although not merely as often as mine does. So that was basically and overview of the situation. My real question and problem that needs to be resolved is, why is my Router not detected during the CD installation yet my internet works (Although now lagging). What can I do to fix this? (BTW, I installed firmware but nothing happened.)

Due to some firewall issue or any other error ..... the CD does not work ...... if already one computer is working fine with router ..... no need to again rune the Disc of the router .....
Now if the router is not showing connection on any computer .....
Reset the router for 20-30 seconds ..... after reset reconfigure the router using CD of the router ..... if it still not works .... use another computer .....
Let me know if it works .....

Wireless router not detected

I recently purchased a WRT54G router and tried to connect through my DSL connection. An error message came up and stated that the router was not detected. Repeated tries gave the same results.
I know that the cables were connected correctly.Can someone suggest trouble shooting?Calls to Linksys support have been unsuccessful.

Try disabling all firewalls on the computer, windows and any other you might be using. Still no luck try doing manual setup, as follows:
Connect modem to internet port on router, and connect computer to port 1 on router
Login to routers setup, by typing http://192.168.1.1 in internet explorer's address bar, use admin as password there without any user name
Here goto mac address clone in blue bar at top
Enable service, click on clone my pc's mac button, and save the settings
After that turn off modem and router, turn on modem first.
Turn on router after some time
Check internet if works

Server Timed Out, Router not detected

Ever since a heavy thunderstorm I have been unable to pick up wireless Internet on any of my wi-fi devices. I'm no longer able to access 192.168.1.1 through my Internet browser, when I tried to ping 192.168.1.1 it says Server Timed Out, and the LinkSys EasyLink Advisor program said my computer was unable to detect my router. Help?

Marcar,
its much easier for us to help if you give us a little detail. like the model & version of your device.
anyway, a thunderstorm aye?? ake sure that the router's power light is not blinking, if it is reset the router.
HOW TO RESET A ROUTER:
with router turned on, push on the little reset button on the back of the router (beside the wan/internet port). hold that button for about 30 seconds and then release and then turn the router off. leave it of for 20 seconds.
by then you can access the default IP of the router which is 192.168.1.1 (password: "admin").
BTW: before you reset the router make sure you know how to reconfigure it back again to work with the modem for your internet connection.

WRT54GS Can not detect the router

We lost the internet connection a few days ago for a couple of hours and since then had to reset the modem and when I try to set up the router with the Easy Link Advisor I get can not detect the router. I am using the router to access the internet and it can't be detected???
I have powered it off enough times and then some and need to get this running to use the laptops.
I am running ver 7 firmware that it came with but I don't know what the exact version I am running or gor that matter where to find it.
Thanks

okay went through the firmware upgrade and installed it through 192.168.1.1 to admin tab and upgrade. it got to the reboot part and hung there for a bit, i hit continue or what ever it said and came back upwith a dns error and page unreachable. version installed is what i downloaded 7.50.5. i am still having the same problem, all the lights are lit that are suppossed to be lit, and i am on the internet and running through the router, and when i go into easylink advisor and start the setup process i have to go through the entire thing including selecting the router (which it should know what router it is) though removing the power cord and waiting and still told that it can not detect the router. i have no idea where to go from here. thanks!

I need to connect an Airport Express to an exisitng Wi-Fi Netgear Router. 1) My PC do not detect the Airport Express, 2) AE is flashing amber all the time... Please if someone can help?

I need to connect an Airport Express to an exisitng Wi-Fi Netgear Router. 1) My PC do not detect the Airport Express, 2) AE is flashing amber all the time... Please if someone can help?

Before I bought it I did the same question at the Apple Store, and they told me "You can extend your existing Wi-Fi Signal with Airport Express wireless...
You cannot extend wireless from any brand except another apple router.. the store might have assumed you were using an apple main router. Most people who buy express buy them to extend an extreme or time capsule.
You are correct .. in the setup documents it does say 5.6.1 is adequate to do the setup.. my bad.. !!

Windows setup not detecting router

So I just got satellite internet from Hughesnet and have the router and my Cisco Linksys E3000 set up all the lights and everything are on but my computer is not detecting the internet when I try and set up a new connection but it has the Wifi at the bottom of my screen showing a full connection with a little exclimation point saying no internet access. Also when I used Cisco connect to try and re set up the router the router details say basically everything is unknown except for the Model Number, Operating system, software version, and computer IP. I have no idea what to do, I've done all the "troubleshooting" through Cisco and checked all my cables. Anyone have any ideas?

For the initial setup, all it requires is a proper physical connectivity between your modem, router and computer. To setup a new router, it’s always recommended to set the router to factory defaults before you run the CD. Finally run the Cisco connect software that’s bundled with the CD, which handles both your internet setup and wireless setup. For the setup process, you need to perform the following:
i. Verify that there is an active Internet connection between the computer and modem
ii. Setting up the router using Cisco Connect
For more information about installing the M10 router via Cisco Connect. Please refer to the link below.
http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&login=1&vw=1&app=search&articleid=21464&userrole=Links...
But if in case you did install the CD before uninstall it, reset the router and do the above mentioned procedure...

I tried to upgrade the IOS to 15.0 and 15.1 but the router is not boot up due to insufficient memory. In that IOS the FXO card is detected. I checked the data sheet of both router and FXO card it support 12.4T IOS but when I upload the IOS and try to boot same problem I have faced (router not boot due to insufficient memory). Kindly help me find out the appropriate IOS to resolve the issue.
Thanks in advance.

My apple tv does not detect wireless router sitting next to it

I have my Apple TV sitting just few feet away from my router. It does not detect my router. So I added the IP addresses manually. Under Apple TV Network settings, it still says Ethernet. What can I do to get AppleTV to detect my Wireless rouer?

Did you unplug the ethernet from AppleTv not just the router? I've found even a non-terminated cable plugged in disables wifi.
Daft as it sounds, sometimes if the router is too close it can cause communication issues over wifi.
If ethernet was working, why change to wifi?
Can you confirm ethernet does still work and that AppleTV is not just 'stuck' in ethernet mode.
Unplugging was a good test as that often corrects issues.
It is possible your AppleTV software is somehow corrupted - restore via itunes using microUSB to eliminate that possibility, or that AppleTV hardware has failed and is 'stuck' thinking ethernet is connected.

Airport card works in 10.1, HW test passes, but not detected at all in 10.4

Ok, Hi. I'll first admit this is my first post so go easy on me!
I just bought a used iBook G3 and it was working fine for a while until about a month ago when all kinds of weird things stared happening. Some of which those problems I solved from reading previous topics from these forums - but anyways, I'll skip all my other problems and get right to my current one.
First off here is the complete specs:
12.1" iBook G3 "dual USB series"
500MHz PPC processor
128+256MB ram = 384MB RAM
15GB hard drive (NOW 160GB HARD DRIVE!)
No Airport Card (NOW ONE HAS BEEN ADDED!)
Multiple OS's - OS9 and 10.1 were included (have original disks)
I also have a set of 10.4 Tiger CD-ROM disks
Anyways, here is basically what is happening. I bought an Airport card off eBay for my iBook. I installed it about a week ago. I booted into 10.4 Tiger and it did not detect the card. Tried to do the manual setup with the wizard and it said there was no card attached. I went into the system profiler and is said No info available under the airport section. I then booted to my "apple hardware test disk" and ran the full/extended test. It passed everything (including the Airport card) so I know that is not the problem. I then booted into OS X 10.1 and lone behold the card is detected and is working without any fooling around with! Instant wireless internet! So I know that the card is working, but I want to use it in Tiger as 10.1 is almost worthless. So I boot into Tiger again knowing that the card is working, and Tiger still does not recognize it! I even booted into OS 9 and it detected the card (although it was having some connection problems, but at least I know that it IS detecting it.)
Here is what I tried (so you can cross these suggestions off your list! lol)
I've deleted the Airport "ktext" files, etc. (can't remember the actual names of the files, but I've cleared all of those caches and still no luck.)
I've zapped PRAM
I rest NVRAM
I rest the PMU.
I did a Arcive and install of 10.4
...All of which did not help. Again, the card worked in 10.1, but 10.4 is completely blind and can't find it!
Now we are caught up to today. I was having many other odd problems and it all lead to my hard drive probably being bad. So toady I finally bit the bullet and bought a new hard drive from Best Buy. It took me forever to install it, but I did it, and it works! Now I have 160GB (make that only 128GB detected) of space. I partitioned it 4 ways as well:
"Tiger" - 80GB
"Other OS" - 30GB
"Extra Space 1" - 10GB
"Extra Space 2" - 8GB
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx- 128GB Total
So now that I have a new hard drive (that I was told would fix all of my problems because my old one was "bad" I thought I would have it working today, but no. So I put in the brand new drive, partitioned it, booted off my Tiger disk, installed it on the 80GB partition. The install went fine. So I now have 10.4 on the new drive. Seems to be a lot faster then my old drive! I did the combo updater (which I downloaded on my iMac and transfered to a flash drive and loaded on to my iBook) Ran the updater, and now it is running 10.4.11! But then I realized, the Airport card is STILL not detected in Tiger!!! - I thought the new hard drive would solve all my problems as I was staring from scratch, but no, there is still a problem!
I ran the Apple hardware test disk again, full test, and it said my Airport card is still fine. I didn't reinstall 10.1 yet (nor did I want to, I was hoping Tiger would work for what I wanted) but it seems now that I might have to go back and install 10.1 again. I don't know what it will prove - other then it will work again, but I don't want to use 10.1 so I'm not going to bother doing all that again.
Anyways, after looking into this further, I brought up the system boot log (of tiger) and found these lines interesting, and hopefully useful to you guys:
localhost kernel[0]: AirPortFirmware: start Sta f/w download
localhost kernel[0]: AirPortDriver: F/W download failed
localhost kernel[0]: AirPortFirmware: start Sta f/w download
localhost DirectoryService[64]: Lunched version 1.8 (v346)
localhost kernel[0]: AirPortDriver: F/W download failed
it then lists the eithernet address and then ramblers on about other nonsense. If anyone needs the other "stuff" i'll try and save the whole log file and attach it here if anyone needs it.
So could anyone please help? It seems as if i've done everything, and still can not get an answer on why it is doing this, and how to fix it!
Please Help!
Thanks you so much, and sorry for the long yet detailed message!!!

Hey, just wanted to post an update to let everyone know what I ended up doing.
Bottom line with the airport card I had is that is was "bad" - well only kind of. I got an email from a guy from a local PC repair shop. He told me he had just gotten one of those cards in and had it for sale for only $25. So I was chatting with this guy and he said it would be alright if I brought my iBook right in his shop, swap the cards and try it before I buy it. So I did so. Very nice guy and we swapped out the cards no problem. Right away it recognized his card and worked! I then downloaded the Airport update and ran it. (remember before, when I tried to update my card, after it restarted it was no longer recognized.) So we did the update with HIS card in and after it restarted, it STILL worked! It also added WPA support as well! We then booted into to Tiger (remember the old card wasn't recognized at all in tiger) and it ALSO worked in Tiger! I also had WPA support right away! So I bought the card and was all happy that it was all working again! I then figured out what the problem was with the old one.
My original card was one of the "original" originals. Then, Apple "changed" the original cards and replaced ones with "128bit" support. (this is all before the extreme cards) I then found out that the newer original cards (the one the guy just sold me) are worth MORE because these are the cards that are compatible with the newer update (128bit WEP, and WPA) The cards looked exactly the same, but the newer card has "128 Bit" printed on the bottom of the card.
SO, it ended up, I was "asking too much" out of the card I had - as the card I had did not support what I was trying for it to do. Where as the newer card I bought IS compatible with the update, and worked like a piece of cake. So all in all, the first card I had isn't "dead" it just wasn't working with what I wanted it to. So I'm going to end up selling it. Hopefully craigslist, but I will get more for it on eBay. so that is what I'm going to do. I'll just make sure to tell people this "story" so they don't try and do the same thing I did. But for someone with an even older laptop, an older OS, or an older router, this card will work just fine for them.
So thats basically it! Looks like I got everything working!

Wifi not detected on my HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC

Product name :HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PCProduct no.: D4B10PA#ACJOperating system: Windows 8.1 64-bit version Hi,My PC does not detect my wireless connection. All other deviced like my iphone, ipad etc do, so I know that the router is fine.also, I can see other networks near my vicinity but for some reason MY home network is not detected by my PC!My OS is up to date, so is my wireless adapter. I am using this forum by connecting to the internet by LAN cable. Please Please Please help me! Thanks,MS

Hi , Thank you for your query. I grasp that your notebook does not find your network but does find others. Your wireless drivers are up to date as well as your OS. First what frequency is your network set to. If you have it set on 5.0 GHz please try changing it to either mixed mode or 2.4 GHz as that is the one the notebook works best on. Can you connect to a different network or hotspot? Have you ran the Windows troubleshooter? Have you ran the HP Support Assistant ?
Here is a link to HP PCs - Troubleshooting Wireless Network and Internet (Windows 8)that will provide more steps to try. To show appreciation for my replying please click the thumbs up icon below.If this resolved your issue, please tell people by choosing solution provided. Best of Luck!
