Router sign al

Hi, We have a WRT54GS router hard wired to a desktop with XP. We have a laptop with Vista. When using the desktop and someone tries to connect through the router with the laptop it will have no signal and tell you there is a cable unplugged. If you unplug the power to the router for a few seconds then plug it back in you get a strong signal and it will connect. If no one is on the desktop the laptop will connect no problem. We updated the router firmware and no help. We took the laptop to public wi fi  spots and it finds signals. It dosen't matter if you are right next to the router or not, it either has no signal or a strong signal. Thanks

I hadn't reconfigured the router so I did and the problem is still the same. When showing no signal on the laptop the Windows Network Diagnostics message was (Plug cable into the network adapter). I pulled the power on the router for a few seconds and had a strong signal, and it connected. This still only happens when the desktop is being used. Thanks again!

  • How to find out what is slowing down your wireless speed

    The first thing you need to do is when setting up your wireless internet is do it right from the beginning. For starters unplug and remove the batteries from all the cordless phones. If you have a wireless door bell or a repeater shut it off and unplug it.. Anything that is wireless in your house needs to be turned off. This also includes cell phones, Ipad's and Ipod's.This thing of telling the homeowner that the mircowave is causing problem is hog wash. But don't have it running while you are setting this up. In other words nothing in your house should be running including the AC and heat. Anything that is pulling hi amperage should be shut down during the set up. Now unplug all cables on the router except for your computer cable and power supply to the router. Hold the reset button in long enough to clear all settings. Now you are ready to set this up right. Sign into your router and go to My Network, if it is showing something other that your main frame computer you still have something on that the router is picking up. Find it and turn if off and reset the router again. Once everything is cleaned and the only this showing up is the computer you are ready. Now go to Speed Net or what ever you check your speed with and write down your average speed. Do three or four speed test to get the average reading. BTW, clear all cookies before you check your speed. Now go back into your router settings and rename you computer to what ever so you won't get that IP address confused with the rest of your hook up. Next take only one of your wireless devices and turn it on. Once the router picks it up rename it and put the security code on for that device to connect to the wireless device. It should also show it as being a wireless device. Also if all your devices can except performance mode go for it because the speeds will always be faster. Also start selecting one channel at a time to find the one that has the fastest speed. Try doing this close to the router, like in the same room. If you are using the performance mode your upload and download should be close to your wired connection. Now go to different parts of the house. You will see some drops but that is normal. Don't do this test on a PS3 or a WII because those speeds will always be slow no matter what you do. All Apple products won't work with Speed Net. Once you get connected to the internet it is always better to go back into your router and write down the assigned IP address and the IP address to the router sign in and manually put them in to each device. Always remember the higher security setting you can set you the faster the speed will be. Do each device as said in the above way. Something else you also might want to do is after you have set up each wireless device go back into your router setting under Wireless settings and disable SSID Broadcast. Only thing this will do is make it to where nobody can see your wireless connection. That way when someone wants to hack your router they won't be able to see it...ya can't hack what ya can't see....lol. Once you get all said wireless devices set up and connected then go back and start turning on phones...ect..ect. If you are truly getting interference you will be able to change the channel on either that device or change the channel on the router for that device. Most of the devices in this day and time should be able to except the 802.11n or the next letter down.The bad thing about the newest Verizon router is the security is still outdated for the PS3. Part two of this is Sony is still using a crap-o-la wireless internet receiver, as a result I don't care what cha do unless you hard wire it in and that still only helps some. Also this thing of putting your router on the window seal or up near the ceiling is also poo poo. If this was a true case why not just hook up a High Def antenna in the room...lol Also this thing of stating don't put the router near a wall is also doo doo. Their would have to be a load of copper wire in that wall to prevent a signal from going through it. If you think about it all wall electrical outlets are wired low to the floor. They take one room and wire them all together. They don't wire it up and down the walls. So most rooms have the wiring a foot from the floor.The most wire you will find in a house at one location is at the circuit breaker box and the box should be on a outside wall in the garage. In older homes like the 40's and 50's some are in the kitchen or a bedroom closet. On the older homes try and steer clear of those locations. Now if you are getting interference from something in your home this will be a easy way to find it. One thing Verizon needs to stop telling it's customer and that is if you get a faster speed which is more money it will correct your wireless problem...hog wash Once you spend your hard earned money and sign the contract, they forget to tell you they only guarantee that speed if it is hard wired...lol for some reason they always forget that part.

    I forgot to suggest one more thing. On your computer go to start/ run/ type in MSCONFIG and go all the way to the right and click start up and then at the bottom select disable all and then reboot. Windows will only load what it need to operate. After that go back into MSCONFIG and go back to the start up and put a check into what ever security program you are using and reboot. Everything will still work fine. The only thing you are doing here is not running all the programs each time you turn your computer on.What this will do if you do this is it will start programs faster and it also is less wear and tear on your pooter. If you want to see what I am talking about go here>> http://www.blackviper.com/ and he will explain and show in full detail what I am talking about as far as being robbed by unnecessary programs running in the back ground. He will also explain the correct way of disabling things that you will never use. MS is set up for remote operation. Like calling your pooter from a phone which I am pretty sure most don't use that feature. If you want to see what happens when you go to any site while surfing download the free copy of CrapCleaner, run it and let it remove all the internet clutter and cookies, then go to one site and close IE down and rerun CrapCleaner again. You will then see what is really slowing down your internet speed. If you are using Windows 7 or 8 you need to go to Control Panel/ Taskbar and Start Menu/ then select Start menu again/ Customize/ and scroll down to Run Command and check it. Now you will be able to see the run command. I don't know why MS removed that feature.

  • WRT160n cannot access via web browser

    After i unchecked the acces the router through web browser box and saved setttings now I cannot get back in. I know this was a dumb mistake. I did this so I counld access my web cam. Every time I tried to access the cam the router sign in screen came up. Well now the cam orks but not the sign in screen. Please help. I really don't want to push reset because I don;t remember the settings AT*T told me to change to use the router with their Modem.

    Are you getting any error message...?
    Are you trying to access the router's setup page...?
    If you want to access the router setup page then,Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...If you setup your own password and you don't remember the password then,you have to reset the router.

  • BEFW11S4 - help with ip into address bar

    I have been having trouble connecting my xbox 360 to the wireless connection on my home computer, I figure it must be some kind of security setting problem.  It doesnt recognize a wireless connection to connect to..there are a number of different things that have been suggested that I do to fix it, but before I can do that..
    When I put my default IP address into the address bar, the settings for my westell modem come up, not for my linksys router.  It seems as though that is the only way to access the linksys settings, so I cant even get started trying to fix the connection so my xbox can recognize it.  How can I get to the linksys settings/config page that normally comes up when I put in my ip address?
    Message Edited by Maxman2468 on 10-07-2007 08:04 AM

    Go to Start, programs, accessories and choose the command prompt. Type in IP config. Three IP's should come up. The default gateway IP should be your router IP. Type that into your browser and it should bring up the router sign on page.

  • Why is iTunes Radio continuously skipping songs, I've tried all the suggestions I can find

    iTunes Radio just continuously skips songs on all of my devices - Apple TV, iPad mini and iPad 2 and iPhone 6.  I've tried all the suggestions I've been able to find so far:
    Recycling the power to my modem/router
    signing in and out of iTunes and icloud
    deleting both accounts and reading back
    deleting my wifi home network and adding back
    Any additional suggestions I can try?  I really like this feature?  I would hate to have to create a new Apple ID or something, I don't even know how my stuff would transfer from one ID to another.  Please help!
    Thank you in advance!!!!

    OK - this fixed my problem of skipping 30-40 songs and playing the same ones over and over. 
    I moved and changed the address on a credit card associated to my Itunes account.  The credit card was still active, however the billing address was incorrect in my iTunes account.  Make sure your Itunes account billing and payment information is correct as the slightest error will cause everything to seem like it is working correctly, except iTunes Radio.
    My Fix:
    In Itunes - enter Account - edit user information - edit payment method (update all information)
    fixed problem on both of my two Apple TV devices

  • I just set up an Optus Cisco DPQ3925 wireless router to access higher speed internet I signed up for. I have a 4th gen airport extreme I want to put in another room and use as a wifi extender the wifi but I get an error message each time I try. Help?

    Hello all.
    I have just set up a new cisco DPQ3925 wireless router that Optus sent me to be able to access the higher speed internet I have signed up for.
    I have a 4th gen apple extreme that I want to use to extend the wifi but when I try to update the settings via the airport utility I get a message that says it cannot do so, and to check it is in range and the wifi is set up correctly. I'm not experienced with these things but I can't think what I have done wrong.
    Is anybody able to help me please.

    You cannot use the AE to extend wireless from a non apple router such as your cisco modem router.. they are not compatible..
    You need to tie to the two devices together either with ethernet or something like EOP adapters.. They are about $120 and you can price match in officeworks.

  • I'm currently signed onto my home network and want to go on with another computer but don't remember my password for my network.  Does anyone know where to find this?  It's a password that I set myself, not the one that came with my router.

    I'm currently signed onto my home network and want to go on with another computer but don't remember my password for my network.  Does anyone know where to find this?  It's a password that I set myself, not the one that came with my router.

    It's in your Keychain on the computer you usually use to connect to your network - the "kind" will be "AirPort Network Password".
    Your Keychain can be opened by using the Keychain Access program. It is in your Utilities Folder.
    Open Keychain Access, and type airport in the search field. You will see a number of entries. Choose the one with the name of your wireless network, open it, and check the box next to "show password". Before it reveals itself you will be asked for your login password - the one you use to log in to your MacBook.
    The network password will appear in the box.
    Quit Keychain Access.

  • Error when trying to sign into Linksys WRT 120N router management page, indicates browser authentication not capable - a HTTP401 error.

    In trying to get into the Linksys WRT-120N router's management utility browser, I was unable to sign in. After resetting the router multiple times and exhausted all the variants of the username/password combination that I can find and think of, I was still unable to sign in to the utility browser. Just for the sake of trying something different, I opened IE 8 browser and was able to sign in just fine. This tells me that FF has a problem with authentication, somewhere along the request information aren't being sent correctly to allow signing in to the utility page of the router.

    hi , here is a step by step for for you need to do..
    a:- Do not use the setup disc....remove it and keep is somewhere safe.

    e:- connect the modem to the "internet" port of the router and connect the PC to one of the other ports..
    f:- turn on the modem only.....wait for 1 minute for the modem to initialize
    g:- turn on the router and PC.
    h:- on the PC...hit "start">>"run">>cmd and enter ....now the black window should stay up......type ipconfig and enter.....the IP u get should be 192.1638.1.100....if so...
