Router will not work through splitter

I have a new router from Verizon as the wireless signal kept dropping on my old one. I've always had my stb and router connected through a splitter and it's worked fine. The new router they have sent me which is the latest actiontec router with two antennas and gig E routing capability will not work through a splitter but will work without the splitter. I've purchased a better splitter that will carry up to a 2.4ghz signal but it still doesn't work. Verizon tech refuse to send out an engineer to help me so I'd like to ask if anyone here can shed some light on my issue. I do have two other splitters in the chain due to having two additional stb's in other rooms. I've also tried the router split with one of my other stb's with no luck.

Unfortunately, you may have simply been lucky previously.
I assume you aren't trying to play protected content through the projector, that will never work.
Assuming you aren't, you might try cycling through the resolutions.

  • Time capsule and router will not work

    I have a time capsule and needed to take it into the Apple store.  Upon setting up again I can not get access the internet.  the computers recognize the network but will not connect to the internet.

    You have described the problem.. but we have no idea of the setup which you have..
    So please tell us.
    What modem you have? Make and model?
    What router is working as the main network router?
    How is the TC connected into the network?
    Please post a screenshot of the current setup of the TC from airport utility as that tell us more than anything.

  • My Time Capsule will not work through Time Machine but need to back up because my hard drive is corrupt. I hard-wired it to my MacBook Pro and have been dragging files to capsule in finder window. Will I have problems since it's flashing yellow constantly

    My Time Capsule is constantly flashing yellow and it will not preform periodic back-ups. When I tell it to from the icon on the top task bar, it freezes MacBook...every time. I am now dragging files from internal HD to TC found in Finder after hardwiring it to laptop treating it as an external HD.  Can in trust it to store files and photos as my MacBook is telling me to back-up because my internal HD is corrupt and may need replacing? 
    Thanks in advance.

    A PC can have more issues connecting than a Mac.
    But it really should not matter.. so just try it in situ.. press and hold the reset.. once it starts up, it will return to default IP, 10.0.1.1 the PC should then be able to find it via the airport utility.
    If not drag it over to the Mac and plug in there by ethernet.. or since it is a laptop, really should not be that difficult to drag the Laptop and plug it into the TC.
    Important thing is to get access to the TC.
    The Mac if it is running lion, then you MUST download and install 5.6 airport utility to do anything useful.

  • Audio will not work through Macbook Speakers.

    Hello I just bought a black macbook and it had the infamous audio problem w/the red light coming out the audio jack. It worked fine with headphones or speakers but once I unplugged them, then a red light would shine through the jack and then no sound output through the Macbook's speakers.
    Initially I fixed the problem, but every time I plugged in my external speakers, and then unplugged them the red light would reappear.
    Now I have no red light in the headphone jack and there is still no sound...my Macbook can still output sound through headphones or external speakers but it wont work through the built-in speakers and now there is NO red light shining through the headphone jack...any ideas?
    Thanks!

  • HT1218 router will not work anymore with new update- how do I fix this?

    I just updated to the current software and now I have no connection. I have tried to reset the airport extreme but I cannot get it to recognize my laptop, Ipad2 and iphone.  I have earthlink as my internet provider.   I have talked with them, but they could not help.  I think that some of the numerical addresses are messed up.  My computer works fine at work on a different airport extreme- so I know that it is not a problem with my laptop. 

    That is because Apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase or download it.  So you will have to use your old apple id and password to update the app.
    You can try deleting the app and then downloading it with your new id - not 100% sure this will work.

  • WRT54G Router will not work

    It seems that I am no longer able to have wireless internet. I have tried to reconnect my wireless router many times but to no avail. When it is connected I get this yellow triangle with a "!" in the middle. I am positive that I have connected it right, I just do not know what could be wrong. I do not know where my installation cd is, if that could be the problem. Any help?

    If you are getting yellow "!" on your wireless network connection, that means you are not connected to your wireless network. This probably happens due to incorrect security key. Make sure while connecting to your wireless network you have entered the right security key.
    If you are not sure about your security key, then login to the router setup page and then click on the Wireless tab and below click on the sub tab "Wireless Security" and in this window you will find out your security key, note down the security key and try to connect to your wireless network again...

  • Time capsule wireless router will not work

    I have a Time Capsule that I use as a wireless router in my condo.  Our internet company was recently purchased by another company, and after the transition, I am not able to connect to internet wirelessly.  My condo is wired with active ethernet ports.  If I plug the ethernet cable directly into my computer, I am able to log in to the ISP's main page and connect to the internet without any problems.  However, if I plug my ethernet cable into the Time Capsule as I did before, I cannot connect.  Before the company bought the old company, I didn't have any issues.  I've called their Tech Support 3 different times about this and they tell me they don't provide support for my wireless routers because there are so many different types.  They suggested resetting the router password, but I'm not completely sure how to do that.  Is that different than my airport password?
    I should also note, that if I pull up System Preferences and to the "assist me" feature under the Network option, it tells me that I'm connected. 
    Any help you can provide would be fantastic!  I'm at my wits end with this issue, as I connect a number of devices to my Time Capsule wirelessly.
    Regards,
    Jake

    I have a 2TB Timecapsule and really only use it for Time Machine backups. But the Wi-Fi side is used to sync my iPad at times.
    Mine is wiredup thus;
    Eth cable from iMac to modem (not the WAN port should you have one),  then eth cable from modem to T/Cap in the WAN port (bottom port with an O sign above it)
    I believe when its connected up you may have to set up a wireless network. Follow the instructions to set up Wi-Fi and Network
    and then give it a password. The WiFi icon should appear in the menu bar where you can switch it on or off.
    Its been sometime since I set it with the help of Apple Techs so I might be a bit rusty.

  • I purchased a new vehicle with a USP port but my nano model A199 will not work, only works with the aux plug which will not allow me to view the songs on the vehicle touchscreen. Is there a download I can get to put into this nano?

    I purchased a new vehicle and the older ipod nano I have will not work through the USP  port, only works through the aux plug. Is there a download i can get toput into the nano that will then allow me to use the USP port instead of the aux port?

    Check with your dealer and see if there is a special cable available for connecting your iPod. It should have a dock connector on one end and USB and miniplug on the other.

    WiFi iPads determine location through a database of router locations. Your new one is not in the database, give it some time and it will be added.

    What is the error that you are seeing? Try to login using another App like GameCenter or iMessage? Also try logging in to other Apps like Facebook to check if it is your Internet connection problem.

  • My "Maps" will not work out routes after update

    After updating the OS the "Maps" will not work out routes. I keep receiving "directions ont available" even for a 1km straight road...Is there an application or update to resolve this?

    WHat is not working? Which map app are you using? I use the built in app without any problem on my trips from Ohio to South Carolina. Wherever I stop, I can see my current location. I don't use it for navigation all the time but one time I was a passenger in the car and followed our trip on my phone.

    Well... instead of looking into this with Engineering, I would prefer you to talk about this with the Sales department and exchange my WRT1900AC for an EA8500 (I will pay the difference if needed).  Seriously. The device is useless. Not just a paperweigt... an expensive paperweight.Actually I looking into the swap for you because I think that would be best in your case. Keep this in perspective. There is laterally millions of WRT1900AC V1 out there with very few issues with latest firmwares and of course the odd exception. In your case it could be a defective WRT1900AC.

    Hello. I sent my WRT1900AC V1 to Linksys four days ago (Monday) via UPS with a RMA. Linksys paid the shipping and everything. The router is still in route, and it should arrive to their offices tomorrow. Once they receive the WRT1900 AC V1, they are going to send me an EA8500 as a replacement. But I have been reading the comments about the EA8500 here in the forum and it seems to have the same problems. I guess the firmware is extremely flawed in both routers (maybe it is almost the same code?). Anyway, I will try the EA8500 and I hope it works. I bought a temporary router from Walmart and I paid $35 for it. It is a Belink N600 DB. I can't believe that a $35 router is working a lot, lot, lot better than my previous $250 WRT1900AC router. Unbelievable. If the EA8500 doesn't work, I'm going to try and get my money back from Linksys, or contact The Consumerist or someone to get my money back and get a Nighthawk instead.

  • Macbook Pro 10.7.5 internet will not work. HELP!!! Ethernet and WIFI both say connected but still no internet.

    I have a macbok pro running 10.7.5. My internet has always worked on it but I decided to try changing my router set up - the set up didn't work so I reverted back to the original setup that had previously worked.
    Now, I have an Imac running tiger - I can connect to the internet via WIFI or Built In Ethernet with no problem.
    When I try to connect to the internet on the Macbook Pro running osx 10.7.5 my internet will not work
    Safari Says (You are not connected to the internet) and Google Chrome says (Page is Unavailbe) and lists some trouble shooting options that I tried.
    When I go to System prefrences > Network my WIFI and Ethernet both say "Connected" and have a green light next to them.
    I have tryed deleting the connections and starting new ones and I have even tried deleting the Location and starting a new one.
    Nothing works - no matter what I do, even know the WIFI or ETHERNET says Connected, the internet will not work on the Macbook Pro.
    The Internet works fine on my Imac and I have tried everything such as swaping cables but there doesn't seem to be a problem with my internet
    or with my router - it all works fine with my Imac running Tiger.
    Can anyone help me get my internet working on my Macbook Pro again? Any ideas?

    Hello ASGR.SYS amd WahWar,
    I tried both of your suggestions and neither of them worked.
    ASGR SYS - When I tried it your way i got a message saying that the that the diagnostic couldn't repair the problem. It shows the thw WIFI, WIFI SETTINGS, NETWORK SETTINGS, ISP, all turn green. But the Internet and Sever stay red. The thing is, there is nothing wrong with my internet connection as I can connect to the internet on my Imac running tiger, both through ethernet and wireless. When I go to System Prefrences and Ntwork the WIFI and ETHERNET both say "Connected" even know I can't veiw any websites.suggestion
    When I tried WAHWAR's suggestion I get a message that says cannot connect to the WIFI network and then it lists your typical trouble shooting tips. Like Make sure you entered the right password and make sure you are in range of the wireless network
    Again, just to confoirm - My internet connection is working fne both the WIFI and the Ethernet. When I use it on my IMAC running tiger, everything connects as it should and it works perfectly. But when I try to connect with the MacBook Pro, Even know the connections in the Network settings window show up as "connected" the MacBook still seems to think that my internet connection isn't working at all.
    I have tried creating new connections, creating new locations, and I have even gone as far to reset my router and start completely from scratch. The result so far has been the same - the IMAC running tiger will connect - my blackberry and iphone will connect - but the macbook pro running lion will not connect..
    I'd apprechiate any other suggestions
