Router not read by computer or software

Hi, I have a wireless router (WRT54GS v5). One day, after school, it just stoped working. I went to the router's homepage (192.168.1.1), but it said timeout all of the time. I inserted the installation disk, and it gets up to the part where it reads the router, and it freezes. I went to the support site, and used the software Easy Connect, but it still doesn't read the router. I unpluged it and repluged it in and tried all of the above, but nothing happenes. I restarted it using the restart button, and repeated the above, and nothing. I have no idea what to do now. Any suggestions, or do I have a broken router?
PS, I have At&T Yahoo! DSl. Looks like the router still keeps me online...Message Edited by Nauthez on 08-03-2006 12:23 AM

try resetting the router for 30 secs, then unplugging the router for ten secs, wait for the power light to be stable then try to ping the router's ip address you should be able to ping it be sure your computer is plugged in to any of the numbered ports. if you are able to ping the router you can try to reconfigure it again.

  • Canon pixma mx850 printer not reading my computer - will not print

    canon pixma mx850 printer not reading my computer - will not print 
    I unplugged the cord that went from the printer to the computer to another canon printer to see if I could remediate a problem with a wireless printer.
    When I plugged the computer cord back into the usual computer, the printer is no longer talking to the computer even though I have gone in and changed back the settings, and it has been the default printer - that was not changed.
    I've tried all the trouble-shooting suggestions to no avail.

    Hi scheideckerj,
    Reinstalling the latest drivers for the printer from the Canon USA website may resolve the issue you are experiencing.   Please click here to go to the Drivers and Software page for the PIXMA MX850.  Once on the download page, please do the following:

  • The lightscribe DVD drives does not read media. Attempted software upgrade to no avail. Error.

    The drive would not read media regardless of type or format of CD/DVD.  Downloaded and attemted lightscribe DVD software upgrade; however, during installation system generated error stating "InProc Error".  Something in programming of upgrade (get file...).

    You may want to try this Microsoft Fix-It.
    What can I do if my CD or DVD drive doesn't work properly?
    You could also try using System Restore to restore a previous restore point from before this became an issue.
    If that doesn't work, you could try a recovery. Recovering your laptop to its original, out-of-the-box state is a great way to eliminate software as a possible cause of the problem. Note that doing a system recovery will return the laptop to its default conditions, completely wiping your data. Information on how to perform a system recovery can be found in your user's guide. On most models you can hold '0' (zero) with the computer turned off. Then press the power button while continuing to hold '0' until the recovery utlity starts.

  • The phone suddenly shut down!!! not starting again not reading on compute

    the phone suddenly shut down!!!
    not starting again
    not reading on compute

    Connect your iPhone to a power source (computer, wall charger, etc) and hold down BOTH the power AND home buttons for about 10-15 seconds.  If all goes well you should get an Apple logo.  Try it even if you think it won't work, and patience is key: 10 seconds is alot longer than one might think.

    Hello Friends
    Recently i bought a refufbished x-fi gamer card from ebay, its pci card, i tried to instal but the hardware is not getting recognized either by the computer or by the software, when i tried to install the software it says suitable device isnot found and it sto
    ps.
    i changed the card from pci slot to pci extended slot but no change, somewhere i red that if the card is just below the video card then it wont work, im not sure of this, my pci slot is just below the nvidia graphics card. i tried so many times to install the card but its all invain.
    So i am here to get your help, please help me with some suggestions how can i solve this problem, i wanted to enjoy this card.
    My pc is dell precision 670 with xp sp3 on it, i have the antivirus kaspersky internet security 200.
    after placing the card in the pci slot when i start the computer, it doesnt show the new hardware found pop up or the window which should appear to ask for the software.
    thanks and regards

    Have you disabled onboard sound in the bios? Have you turned off Serial ports and other unneeded things? Do you not have another slot to try the card in? This tells me that you have an IRQ conflict. please list what is currently in the slots now.

  • IPod not reading in computer (please help!)

    Basically, both my work and my home computers stopped being able to read the iPod. However, I know it is not a problem with the computers since on the iPod itself, nothing appears under the "artists" menu anymore. Instead, everything, including music and video simply appears in the "videos" directory.
    This sounds like a data corruption issue.
    Anyway, this happened a month ago, and after consulting everything I could, including this forum, it seemed the only solution was to restore my iPod and loose all of its information.
    Well, tonight it just happened again, and once again I had to wipe my memory clean.
    Please, please tell me what I can do about this?=. Should I take it in to get serviced? (It's only 3 months old.) I just fear the same thing might happen again regardless.
    An iPod with a one-month memory-life is pretty much worthless to me.
    Thank you very much for your help!

    Thanks for the response.
    Well, it seems like the file-structer on the iPod itself keeps getting corrupt. On the iPod, suddenly everything other than one band disappears from the "artists" folder. However, everything appears under the "playlists" folder.
    Also, interestingly enough, all my music playlists also appear under the video playlists. Oh and the one band remaining in the correct artists folder also has the playlist for that band in the "movies" folder
    I'm a software engineer, even if there's a way to manually change the info files on the iPod, I am more than willing to give it a shot.
    Also, I should note that today everything was fine on the way back from work; it only corrupted itself when plugging into the computer (and not even downloading anything!)
    And obviously with everything corrupted iTunes cannot read it thus I cannot add anything. The only solution I have found so far is to restore (until it happens again.)
    Thanks again for the response!

  • IPod frozen/not read by computer

    I turned my computer on today only to see that iTunes was not recognizing my iPod. Later, in the spot on iTunes where the device usually showed up, it said "IPOD" but nothing else. I hit eject and removed the iPod but it seems to be frozen on the "Connected - Eject before disconnecting" screen. I tried to reconnect it but I got a message in my system tray saying "USB does not recognize this device."
    The screen is still frozen and I have tried numerous times to shut it off. Any ideas?

    Thank you. However when I opened iTunes I got a message saying that the iPod could not be identified correctly (or something like that) and is still not showing up in iTunes.
    And how does one go about doing a restore (once iTunes identifies the iPod, of course)?

  • Not reading other computer in the network

    Usually when I am in the same wireless network as other users, it picks up other users using the network. It is not picking up my friends macbook, but his computer is picking up my macbook. Why is this happening. I also tried to hook it up via firewire and it still wouldnt find it. What is going on with this. Sometimes it will recognize other users and sometimes it wont.

    Our household has a wireless network with internet, and I have had the same problem with networking. I have tried to find the network and have no luck with Leopard.
    My husband has Windows XP Pro (Service Pack 2) running on his computer and I have tried to network to his countless amounts of times. With no luck. Sometimes the network would pop up, but rarely, most times there would be no network at all. I eventually reformatted back to Mac OS Tiger.
    Now I have no problems with the networking. I probably wont go back to Leopard until the bring a few updates and get rid of the bugs I have found in Leopard.

  • Hi um i have the ipod 5 and my computer seems to be fine with the wifi but when i pressed wifi and my wifi does not pop up it i put it on airplane mode reset the  networks erased my safari history . and it still has not read my wireless internet ?

    If not:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Then:
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Will not read tiger software

    I recently bought tiger to upgrade from panther and my imac will not read the software disk. it may read it once in every ten tries but after having to restart the computer it will not read it. So I have been unable to install it. can anyone help?
    imac g4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    What exactly do you mean by, "will not read the software disk?" Do you mean it won't start up from the DVD? Do you mean you cannot list the files on the DVD?
    Does the disc have a black label with large gray "X" or does it have a gray label? The latter is an OEM disc that can only be used with the computer model with which it came. Does the DVD have the word Upgrade printed on the label?
    If you are trying to boot from the DVD are you doing it correctly? Insert disc into the optical drive and wait until it mounts on the Desktop. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Wait for the gray startup screen to appear. Release the key when the spinning gear appears beneath the dark gray Apple logo.

  • HT1338 ok so i know that my computer needs to be updated but I do the software update and it say there are no current updates I have not updated my computer in a long time

    ok so I have not updated my computer in a long time and I go to the apple icon in the upper left hand corner of my computer and click on it and then click on softwear updates and it runs and says there are no updates.

    You have to buy the next OS X version. Free updates are only available for the version you have. Since you're posting here, assume you want to upgrade to at least OS X 10.6? Or further?
    Call the Apple online store, which in the US is at 800-MY-APPLE, or you can also order online from them too. OS X 10.6 is only available on DVD, not download. Get it, install, do Software Updates until no more are available. Done. You probably already have at least 1GB of memory, and some spare disk space to install it. Of course, backup first.
    If you want to upgrade to OS X 10.8, see these requirements to see if your system is able to. Note the minimum memory is 2GB, however, 4GB is recommended.  Assuming your system can run Mountain Lion, you can upgrade directly from OS X 10.6 to OS X 10.8. You don't need to upgrade to OS X 10.7 as an interim step. OS X 10.8 is downloadable from the App store.
    If you want to upgrade to OS X 10.7, after you upgrade to OS X 10.6, call the online Apple store again to purchase a download code, then download from the App store.

  • Premiere Pro is not reading all of the video content in my AVCHD clip. I know this because my computer plays all of the content through Preview, so the information is on the card. How do I get Premiere to read all of the content?

    Premiere Pro is not reading all of the video content in my AVCHD clip. I know this because my computer plays all of the content through Preview, so the information is on the card. How do I get Premiere to read all of the content?

    First, AVCHD isn't just "one" clip, it splits the video & audio into several files each per clip, typically with randomly generated names. The only way they "play" correctly is if the software doing so is able to read from the data file ...in a different folder ... the information that X clip is actually A, B, D, #@, and 456 video clips and TR, #r54, and ert$%4 audio clips. The next "clip" is ... and on and on. So both rapid access to the video files AND that database file are necessary to play the files back, or do anything else with them.
    VLC is a fairly decent but simple playback tool. It's nowhere near as complicated nor demanding in its "relationship" with those clips as an NLE like PrPro, which will be trying to do more reading & writing.
    Further, many of the preferences in PrPro are natively set so that it writes project, cache, preview, & database files next to the footage. So ... if it doesn't have both a fast enough connection with the data AND space for putting all of it's own stuff there, it tells you it can't work the file.
    Therefore ... the need to have the complete data from the card in the exact same folder structure it was in ON the card copied to a "local" hard drive.

  • I am trying to reinstall Mac OSX, but my computer does not read installation cd

    Hello, I am trying to reinstall Mac OSX, but my computer does not read installation cd. After restart, I hold C but either eject cd or doesn't read and computer boots up normally. I even ordered a new pack of installation cd, but still the same problem. Is there anybody can help me fixing this issue, because my Macbook pro has lots of software problem and when I spoke to tech, they said it needs to reformat and reinstall the OSX to solve all my problems. Please help me to reinstall my OSX!

    Possible solutions:
    You need to hold the c key down before booting
    You need to use the built in keyboard, you have other hardware connected
    You need the machine specific 10.6.4+ disks for that machine, the retail 10.6.3 disks won't work
    There is a firmware password on the machine preventing the at boot key command functions
    Try the option key for Startup Manager to boot from the disk, right after the "bong"
    Your Superdrive lense is dirty or not operating, other hardware issues
    You have malware of some sort

  • MOTU Interface Issue: Audio Not Reading In Host Software

    Greetings. I'm in need of help. I'm using my MacBook Pro for live studio recording and it receives audio from a MOTU UltraLite Mk3 Hybrid Interface via Firewire cable.
    The Audio Reads in the System Preferences Sound Input Level Monitor But Not in Host Software.
    Although the audio signal from my mixer is making it to the interface (can see levels)and the audio from the interface is making it to the computer (can see on system preferences "Sound" input level monitor)it is not being read on any host software I've tried which includes: AudioDesk 3.02, Garageband, Cubase 4.1, Audacity, and Adobe SoundBooth CS3.
    Note: Output (for playback) is set to go through the MOTU Interface and works well.
    Here's an Overview of the machine's Hardware:
    Model Name: MacBook Pro
    Model Identifier: MacBookPro4,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache: 3 MB
    Memory: 3 GB
    Bus Speed: 800 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: MBP41.00C1.B03
    SMC Version (system): 1.27f3
    Serial Number (system): W8*
    Hardware UUID: 21BCA47D
    Sudden Motion Sensor:
    State: Enabled
    Any advice is greatly appreciated. But please note that I've followed all instructions provided by Apple, MOTU, and all set-up instructions for host software and I've also disconnected the MOTU interface and recorded directly into the MBP and it worked fine.
    < Edited by Host >

    Well, it's nearly 2 years later... and this part of the problem mentioned in the link you provided is exactly what I'm experiencing!
    Yea it is rather interesting from a couple of perspectives. One being that MOTU seems to be pretty diligent about their products and compatibility issues (just from reading through their "Tech Notes" at http://www.motu.com/techsupport/technotes.html). Also, I found that if you go to one of their product pages like "UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid Overview" (http://www.motu.com/products/motuaudio/ultralite-mk3) you can then click on the Tech Notes link (http://www.motu.com/products/motuaudio/ultralite-mk3/technotes.html)and that will narrow the results to Tech Notes that mention that specific product.
    Researching off the tech notes and the info you provided, I did find other users with similar problems, but nothing really as conclusive as the link I suggested in the previous post. Also, of note, is that reading trough some of the search results, I realized the "whole ball of wax" can get quite complicated and goes well beyond my knowledge of the issue and the technology involved.
    All that being said, have you tried contacting MOTU's tech support (http://www.motu.com/techsupport/)? Just by their documentation, they seem to be on the ball - might even have a ready answer. Like any vendor, they may have specific issues that they have not heard or dealt with before, but their website structure and content does seem to suggest they take an interest in getting their products to work across a myriad of tech environments and use cases.
    Hope this helps.
