Router Won't Connect to modem so i can't get internet

All right -_- i have tried lots of stuff with this so i am getting irritated sorry. Here is my info I have a Linksys Wireless Router with SpeedBoost Firmware Version 7.2 (latest) WRT54GS. I am trying to use it with a Sprint 645 Series Modem. My IP while connected to the router and the router connected to the Modem is 192.168.1.100 which my ISP said was ok for it to work. While it is just connected to my modem it is that same thing except replace the 100 with 1. My ISP uses a security measure where The DHCP Thing is 192.168.1.1 and so is the DNS server, and the Default Gateway and im not sure if that has anything to do with it. I have used ping in the Command Prompt to make sure i am connected to the router when its plugged up and it is. This is a new router. I have perfectly fine internet with just Modem. I have tried resetting the Router and that didn't work -_-. I dont think it matters anymore because i have tried fixing it the way lots of people have told me to and it didnt work but i will tell u anyway. When i set up the router the first time i hooked everything up and turned it all on at first. Then i saw that it said Run CD first before connecting cables... those weren't in the instructions but wtv... anyway resetting it should have fixed it or so i was told by other people on this forum. I am using a Laptop with Windows Vista, and i don't have access to a desktop in case i need one XD. I can connect to the Router fine because i can get to the setup page.. and i can connect wirelessly.. The ONLY problem appears to be that the Router doesn't connect to the Modem... for wtv reason -_- I think its because of the whole security measure about how the DHCP and DSN and Gateway are all 192.168.1.1, but that is just me. I am sorry this is so long but I really want this fixed -_- i have had this Router for a month and its getting really annoying so please help . My ISP is Embarq. I ran the setup CD and I got all the way through to the last step (waiting for router) after connecting the power supply to the wall for the router. It just sits there forever and says afterwards "Error:322 Can't find router or something like that. It gives 3 steps to try to fix it. It says to make sure the Router is plugged in (it is) , it also says to make sure u didn't actually plug in your old router, (i dont have one -_-) and then retry the setup. and by setup i mean where u plug all the cords in the right way. *sigh*
If u need anything else please ask.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Your second post said 'ignore this" so I guess everyone thought you had got it fixed....
When you connect through your router you have two instances of DHCP going on...one is your DSL modem giving your router an IP address on it's WAN interface. The other is the router giving your computer an IP address via the router's DHCP server. The IP the modem gives your router is in the 192.168.1.0 network. Unfortunately, by default, the LAN IP address reange on Linksys routers is also in that range. To get this to work, you need to set your LAN ip on the router to 192.168.2.1, so that the LAN and WAN interfaces of the router are in different networks.
To do that, unplug the router from the DSL modem, power it and your computer down, then connect the computer to the router using an ethernet cable. Power up the router, and the computer, then browse to 192.168.1.1. Change the LAN IP on the router setup to 192.168.2.1, save the configuration, then reboot the computer. Once the computer comes back up, browse to 192.168.2.1...you should be able to get to the router setup GUI.
Power down the router, and the DSL modem, connect the router to the modem via the Internet port using an ethernet cable, then power up the modem, then the router....you should be good to go...

Router won't connect comps to the net, can't acess router through comps either!!

Hey, umm... I was playin a game for a bit, and suddenly I got booted off the net. I thought it was the game just spiting me (WoW does that sometimes. It hates everyone), but it turned out to be the internet.
I called comcast, confirmed that my internet was ok, and decided to call linksys.
I went to the tech support via phone, dialed the number, and the number is telling me it can't connect the call.
So, I came here.
Now, normally I can always get into the router via my comp to see what the deal is with it. This time though, I can't even acess it!
It tells me it couldn't connect every time I try to get into it, from all the computers.
I figured it could just be a bum wire messin with me. So I went into the closet and pulled out a new one that I had just got. That one didn't work either.
Then I took one of the wires I knew worked (because it connected the computer to the modem and got online fine), and plugged it in. It didn't work either.
So frusterating...
Anyways, I upgraded the routers firmware the other day after hearing that it would give me more port fowarding slots (It DESPERATLY needs more), and all was well up until now.
It's been about 5 days since I did that, so I don't know what woulda caused this to happen all of a sudden.
Espically not being able to get to the router through a computer. That's just weird...
Well, if anyone knows anything, lemme know.
Also, let me know if the phone support comes back up some time soon.

On a side note, im not using the wireless function, and I have it turned off in the settings.

Connect to wireless network but can't get internet

Hi
First time on any sort of technical forum so please bear with me :o)
I've just received an iPad for Christmas and I CAN get connected to my wireless home network (AOL / Netgear 834g) *but I CAN'T use the Internet*. I hate to say I've been at it for hours (to embarassed to say how many!).
I've read the discussion forums, read the manuals and I'm sitting here thinking ... AM I THAT THICK... and I fear the answer is YES :o)
Normally with all my mobile devices I simply add the WEP and I'm connect but this doesn't seem that simple! For one I can't even find where this number would go.. As you can probably tell I'm not technical. I don't want to start messing about with my router settings
I was soooo delighted with my iPad and now I feel I just want to send it back (I won't of course!).
Can someone give me some "simple" to follow help / advice / assistance? or am I doomed!
I eagerly wait some help ;o)

My iPod Touch 5th generation is in recovery mode, and my iPod won't connect to iTunes so I can restore it, any ideas on how to fix it?

Alright, here are the details: my iPod Touch 5th gen. is stuck in recovery mode, and it won't connect to iTunes so I can restore it. Now, I know I have the latest version of iTunes, I have deleted it & reinstalled it, and even restarted my computer, but it still won't come up in iTunes...What should I do??

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use one of these program
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
and
RecBoot tip
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

When our iPad is in use on the internet, my iMac internet connection goes off. I can't get the two devices to work at the same time with the AirPort Express. Is there a setting somewhere I may have missed?

When our iPad is in use on the internet, my iMac internet connection goes off. I can't get the two devices to work at the same time with the AirPort Express. Is there a setting somewhere I may have missed?

When two or more devices conflict it typically means that the DHCP service is either misconfigured or is not running at all. DHCP provides IP addresses to local network clients.
Is your AirPort Express base station the only router in your current network configuration? That is, is it connected directly to an Internet modem and not to another router upstream of it?

What ADSL modem do you advise to use with my new airport extreme? I have tried a basic TP-Link ADSL2 modem and I can't get the configuration working. What modem does Apple recommend?

I am having problems setting up airport extreme.

Ok well I have looked around some more and have found this to be the most up to date official response to my question as seen at this link here:
http://www.actiontec.com/support/product_details.php?pid=41#q27
Can I Bridge the Actiontec MI424WR router that Verizon provided, when I signed up for FiOS service?
The MI424WR does not have a bridging option, and neither Verizon nor Actiontec support attempting to bridge it.
The desire to bridge the MI424WR is based on a misunderstanding that it is a modem as well as a router. Actiontec does produce DSL Gateways that have a Transparent-Bridging option, which bypasses or disables the router function and allows the Gateway to act simply as a DSL modem, when it is enabled. Many consumers do not realize that with FiOS, the ONT (typically outside the home) is the device that handles changing the FiOS signal from Fiber to either Ethernet or Coax, and that the Router is just a Router, and if it was bridged or bypassed, it would be a device without a function. For most Verizon FiOS customers their service would completely stop if the MI424WR was bridged, because the Video on Demand service is dependent on it to work.
If your ONT is connected to the Actiontec MI424WR router via Coax, the MI424WR is required due to the Coax connection. But if the ONT is connected to the MI424WR via Ethernet, then in most cases some other router can be substituted for the MI424WR, and it can be removed."
So it looks like I will be calling Verizon support to see about getting the Ethernet connection installed and getting another modem...

Can't get Internet to Linksys WRT54G using ARRIS TM502 modem (Cable ISP)

I just switched from DSL to Cable and now i can't get internet to the Linksys router. I can connect to it from a wireless laptop but just not get on the internet I've read other posts about doing the "clone mac" address and doing the power cycle but still cannot get the Linksys to respond. I enabled the WRT54G to clone the mac address and have spent about 10 hours in two days trying to get this to work and looking online, etc.... Any information at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, leo

After talking to Comcast again and getting another support person who didn't seem to know much, I decided to take matters in my own hands. I connected new Linksys wrt160n to Arris tm502g, but left router power off. I then did reset button on Arris modem for 10+ seconds and let it reset. I powered up router and then powered up PC that I had plugged in port1. When I went to status on router I finally had gotten IP addresses from Comcast. I then plugged my switch into port 4 and checked other devices in the house and they were ok.
Hard to believe that no one from Comcast or Linksys seemed to have a clue on what to do when I talked to them.
Thanks for your help. Hopefully someone else will find this if they need it.

Have done all the trouble shooting connection but my iPad still can not get wifi connection

i have done all the trouble shooting connection but mu iPAd still can not get wifi connection

Hi Jo,
Each router is a little different but here are the basics: login to the router using the administrator account, should have that info from the installer, and then you should find something like security settings, or it may be advanced security. There will be a setting to the effect of limiting access, or it may say allow Mac address authentication, or admit the Mac addresses in the table...if that is switched on, you can just switch it off and that will allow any wireless device to attach. If you want to keep it on, then you have to enter the Mac address for the device you want to use for access. In the case of the iPad, go to Settings > General > About > WiFi Address (another way of saying Mac address). Enter that very long sequence in the router's Mac address acceptance table and that should take care of things.
Using the Mac address does not change any of the email settings, just limits attaching to the router in the first place.
If you are already getting email, you must be attaching already so this should not be an issue. If you are having email issues, such as receive but not send, you may not have the outgoing server set correctly: Settings > Mail > Account > Outgoing server name (usually an SMTP server) and you may have to go to the advanced settings to enter the outgoing password (normally the same as the account/incoming password) and then check to see if SSL is ON or OFF...most common email services say to set to OFF.

How do you connect to wi fi. i can t get the ipad to connect to my home network.

how do you connect to wi fi. i can t get the ipad to connect to my home network.

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
 Cheers, Tom

TS1398 my new ipad works perfectly. the iphone 5, however, cannot connect to the same wifi, can barely get a 3G signal, and the power level is at 53% after being barely used for 1\2 a day. Is this a hardware problem?? My old 3Gs was fine until it died.

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

I just installed Readdledocs on my ipod, and now when I launch the app, I get a screen which says "downloading message" and the app freezes and won't do anything else. How can I get the app to function again?

I just installed Readdledocs on my ipod, and now when I launch the app, I get a screen which says "downloading message" and the app freezes and won't do anything else. How can I get the app to function again?
This happened after I tried to get Readdledocs to open an epub file which I created in Calibre.

This is a followup to my own posting above.
Thanks to Dave Sawyer for posting information about re-downloading an app which has been deleted. I deleted the app from iTunes. Then, when I synched, iTunes asked me if I wanted the items on my ipod touch copied back into iTunes. I said yes and then synched.
Readdledocs is now working again. It is no longer frozen. However, I have learned my lesson. I will download only pdf's from now on. I don't think it works so well with epub files. The text reflow feature of Readdledocs is exactly what I need to use for my work documents on my ipod touch.

I recently purchased QuickTime 7 Pro to convert avi files to mov files for editing on Imovie. However, QuickTime won't play the files. How can I get them to play and how can I convert them to mov files?

Both the AVI and the MOV file extensions refer to the file container and not the compressed data the file contains. Both are generic file containers in that each may contain any valid combination of audio and/or video data that is compatible with the codec component configuration of the system on which the file was created. On the other hand, whether a file is playback compatible, conversion compatible, and/or edit compatible depends on the data actually contained in the file container. So, you are basically dealing with two separate issues here—the container and what is inside it.
Basically, if you want to make your files ediit compatible with iMovie, you must change your file container to one that is acceptable to iMovie and convert the data to edit compatible audio and/or video compression formats as may be necessary. The best approach is to determine what codecs were actually used to create the original AVI files and add them to your system if possible. In most cases a codec package like Perian can be added to your system's codec component configuration to may the AVI file playable. Once they are playable, in the QT 7 app then they can be chnged or converted to file types and compression formats that can be edited in iMovie. (While Perian handles most codecs commonly used to create AVI files, it does not handle all possibilities and, while the Perian codec package still works under cureent Mac OS versions, its development group has decided to drop further development/support of the package.)
Background: AVI is a file container originally developed by Microsoft back in 1992 but for which official support was discontinued about 11 years. Despite its limitations, Windows users still tend to use this file based on its open source ease of use and generic nature, thus, making its use so popular that most users are unwilling to switch to more modern but less generic file types. Since some AVI legacy compression formats have never been transcoded for the Mac or use beyond OS 9 or OS X PPC platforms, it is often important to know what specific compression formats are contained in the AVI file to know which codecs to add to your system and which not to add in order to avoid possible codec conflicts.
You can use many different converters to convert AVI files to iMovie edit compatible files. Most third-party apps contain their own buit-in codecs which do not relay on the Mac codec component configuration. Free ones, like HandBrake, usually have limited conversion capabilities while those that have more varied outputs are usually commercial in nature and will cost you additional cash. QT 7 Pro or the free MPEG Streamclip app allow you to access you own system's component configuration and use any available codec component like DV, AIC, MPEG-4, H.264, Photo JPEG, etc.—all of which are iMovie compatible for editing purposes—but only after making the AVI file QT 7 player compatible.
In order to determine what compression formats wewre used in your AVI files you can
1) Try checking the Finder "Info" window,
2) Use the "Inspector", "Media Info", or "Properties" window of any player app that will open the file, or
3) Use a general media utility app like "MediaInfo" to read the file characteristics.
