  • Need Help with Linksys router broadband-b

    I have a Linksys wireless-B broadband router for some reason it just went crazy on me. My wireless card is a wireless - G . Now when i had Verizon DSL  i  got this router and a USB  wireless adaptor from verizon. I had the usb adaptor on my wife computer and the router and modem  on my notebook for six months we had there dsl service until we moved  to a nother city. Once we  had all of our service's transfered  to the new home  we could not get verizon DSL there.
    So for a nother six months we had to use  dial up and being that we run a home business dial up was just not up to the task. Well we got rid of dish network  just to get cable T.V. just to get the cable broadband service. That's when i got a wireless card for my notebook anyway  for six months the network was working  just fine with the router and my wireless card.
    Until  Sept  this year just a few weeks ago the router started going crazy. Before my note book was config for windows to connect  linksys was connecting  and i would see all conection in the site survey,  and my own network  also. Until a few weeks a go  my network would not show .
    So i call linksys the have me download   some up dated firmware that would not install on my notebook or my wife computer after being on the phone for hours with linksys they come to tell me that  the router is ok and working alright after all the test   and steps they took me through with the router. Linksys tells me that there is something wrong with my PCM slot  on my notebook or either  my linksys wireless card. Ok  First of all i can pick up signal  on other networks  and go on line like the Hilton  Hotel  when i go in there parking lot, Second  i can pick up othr networks and get on line that are not secured  sometimes  so this tells me that there is Nothing wrong with my PCMI slot or the wireless card.
    Now i took my router across the street to a friend house and guess what he gets a signal  off the router with his notebook  but i can not and when we plug the router in the AC outlet  the internet light was flashing like crazy and my wireless card was not even in my notebook so that tells me that someone close was pulling signal off my router  but i cant.
    Can someone please explain this to me  i want to get another router wireless - G this time but if there is something that can be done to get this one working like it should that would really help.
    The Notebook has been checked out and config  and that works well when i hook the either net plug in from the modem  the  router was config as well but i just can't get a connected to the router when i use the wireless card.   

    Yes press and hold the reset button in back for 30 seconds and release.  Wait 10 seconds and power cycle the router.  Now connect to 192.168.1.1 username blank, password 'admin'.  Now try.

  • WPA Security with the F5D7230-4

    Hey,
    I've successfully bridged my Airport Express from my Belkin F5D7230-4 with WEP Security enabled and it worked very well. Well, I should actually rephrase that; it worked well for all the Macs. The only PC on the wireless network couldn't establish a consistent connection, so I had to change the security to WPA and now everybody's computers work very well (WPA is actually desired). The only problem with WPA is that I can't get WDS to work with it, in other words, the Airport Express won't connect to the Belkin. After configuring the settings the same way as before (except changing the security) the Airport Express will first stay solid yellow, turn green for 2 or 3 seconds, and then flash yellow again. I have tried changing the wireless channel, and telling the Airport Express to just join (not WDS) while the Airport Express next to the Belkin, but still nothing worked.
    Wireless bridging is infact enabled on the Belkin, and I've also tried allowing only certain access points to connect, but that didn't work either.
    Is it possible that I'm not able to use WPA security with WDS on this Belkin router?
    It's a F5D7230-4 Belkin Router with 4.05.03 firmware, and the latest firmware is on the Airport Express.
    Thanks for any help in advance.

    Do you mean to get into the network? I do have a password WPA password set, and that's why the Airport Express can't access it.
    I need WPA set because a: the PC on the network needs it in order to connect, and b: it's much more secure.
    I pretty much need to have the security because the Belkin has it on, and to my understanding, the Airport Express also needs to have it enabled to work.
    Is there any update or anything available that could help my problem, or am I pretty much out of luck?

  • Airport Express not working with wireless router

    I just bought Airport Express to play music on my stereo. My PC running XP is connected to my wireless router (TeleWell TW-EA510v3) with ethernet cable and airport express wirelessly. Problem is that Airport Utility (and iTunes) can't find AE if it's not connected to router with ethernet cable.
    I can connect to AE from Aiport Utility by "configure other" option so it's connected to my wireless network correctly.
    Is this kind of set up even possible (pc wired to router and AE wireless)? I have tried tried WEP, WPA/WPA2 and no encryption on my wireless network and AE connects ok every time but Airport Utility still can't find it. I even tried to make a WDS network but AE was not compatible with my router. Now I can't come up with anything else to try.
    Is there anything else to do? Should I buy WLAN adabter to my PC and would AE work then?
    Why can't Apple make Airport Utility to recognise AE with given IP like with "configure other" option? Should not be too hard to program?!

    Follow the isntruction lisetd below...they work.
    Actually, the ae is a slick device, once you get it to work.
    Make sure that one (or both) checkboxes in Airport Utility > Airport Express tab
    (middle of page) are not checked...if one or both are checked, they limit (hide) wireless connectivity options (e.g., WEP-64) to choose from.
    P.S. You must have patience: it may take a couple of minutes to establish the connection and turn the led to solid green. So, give it a chance.
    ===============================================================================
    OMG!!! You are da man!!!
    I have this streaming perfectly now!! Here is what I did for others to see and use (it does work perfectly)
    Step 1) Clear/Reset the Airport Express
    Step 2) Connect the Airport Express directly to the Router/Modem via Ethernet to set up Wireless
    Step 3) Do it via the Manual Set-up Effort Listed Below following:
    AirPort > Base Station
    o Base Station Name: <rename or leave default>
    o Base Station Password: <enter desired password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter desired password>
    o Remember this password in my keychain: (optional)
    o Set time automatically: (unchecked)
    AirPort > Wireless
    o Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
    o Network Name: <existing Linksys wireless network>
    o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network> I have 64bit WEP
    (Same as 40bit on the drop down menu)
    o Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
    Music
    o Enable AirTunes (checked)
    o iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
    o iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
    o Verify Password: (optional)
    o Click Update to write the new settings to the AX
    In iTunes:
    iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
    o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)
    Once it congratulates you, unplug the ethernet cable
    Verify in Aitport Utility that it still recognizes (if not, repeat the above). Note this may take a few minutes, so be patient.
    Now place the airport express with your stereo (or whatever) and again be patient as it tries to find the network
    (mine took 4 minutes) then it turns green and you are off listening to music on your stereo downstairs in another room.
    Frustrating when it does not work at first, but keep trying and it will work!!
    Thanks everyone for your help!!

  • Ipod Touch won't work with talktalk router :(

    There are a lot of posts on here about people's itouch not working with certain wifi areas, I think this is one of those but am praying someone out there has an answer and I do not have to wait for an apple update.
    I have used my itouch in a few different public wifi zones but cannot connect to my home secured network, it just says unable to join the network 'TalkTalk***'. I know the itouch works online and know the wifi works at home because a laptop, psp & Wii all work off it. Anyone else had this problem and managed to solve it???
    Thanks in advance

    Hey there,
    Glad to hear we're getting closer. Looks like you're connected to the network, just not able to utilize it's internet connection.
    Let's check your iPod's IP addres. Tap Settings > Wi Fi and look for your network. To the right, there's a blue circle with a white arrow in it. Tap that circle. If the IP address starts out with 169.x.x.x, it is a self-assigned IP address. Since it came from the iPod, and not the router, it can't be used.
    I would recommend resetting your iPod's network settings:
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    When the iPod restarts, reconnect it to your network and try Safari again.
    If it still isn't working, try powercycling your router and resetting those settings at the same time.
    1. Turn off the router
    2. Reset the network settings again, as indicated above
    3. Turn the router back on
    4. Reconnect the iPod to the network
    If it still isn't working, let's check your iPod's software version.
    Settings > General > About
    If you've upgraded to 2.0, the latest version is 2.0.2. If you haven't upgraded, the latest version is 1.1.5. If you're not at either of those numbers, connect the iPod to your computer and use iTunes to check for software updates for the iPod.
    Regarding the router settings, I'm not familiar with your router manufacturer. I'd check their website for instructions on that. I think at this point you wouldn't really need to change any settings, but just check for firmware updates.

  • Cannot Security Enable BEFW11S4 Router

    I was given a cable modem and a router (BEFW11S4 vers 4) when I moved, as I was going to get cable wireless internet in my new place.  I was able to set up the internet access with the cable modem and can set up wireless with the router as long as it's not security enabled.  I can name the network, but as soon as I try to WEP encrypt (64 bit), I get kicked off of the connection and when I try to reconnect, I get a message that the network requires settings not present on my computer.  I've had to reset the router about 4 times in 2 hours just to get wireless service in my apartment, but I would really like to have it secured.  I called customer support, but was told that since the warranty expired on the router I'd have to pay to have them help me, so I'd like to try to fix this on my own if I can.  I am currently able to send this because I am directly connected to my cable modem.  I've tried to use the CD that came with the router to configure the router to the PC, but when I get to the part where you have to connect the PC to the router, it says that the router can't be found, and to make sure it's on or reset it.  My computer uses Microsoft Vista operating system.  Does anyone know how to handle something like this, or where to find instructions on how to handle it?  Thanks

    I think the first thing which you need to do is upgrade the firmware of your router. i think its a problem with the firmware of your Router. Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop...
    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
    In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
    Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful"  After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
    Now reset your router :
    Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
    Once you re-configure all the settings on your Router then you can enable the security on your Router. I think this might solve the problem.

  • Using pc to phone software with the router

    I have a wrt54gl v1.0 router through which i connect the net. i want to use a phone to pc software which mentions to make some entries in the router so tht an internet ip is availble to make and receive calls.
    please can you help.
    thnx

    Hi.......
         well it is possible to use the Phone to Pc software along with the router.
    And the settings which is required for this is, you will have to open the ports for this software in the router in order to use it.
           For this you will have to first get the Port Numbers for this software, which you can get from the Phone people. You then connect one of the Pc to the router and log into the setup page of the router with http://192.168.1.1 username leave blank and the password is admin. On the setup page under the Applications and Gaming screen you can open the ports given to you and the ip address asked would be the ip address of the Pc which has the software installed on it. You can check the ip address of you Pc from start >run > cmd and ipconfig in the command prompt.
    Also under the security tab disable the Block Wan Request. ......

  • Loss of connection with Belkin router

    I have been using a Belkin N450DB router with my Westell modem for over 2 months. Everything was fine until 4 days ago when my router lost connection. I have tried the self heal with the router and the troubleshooting with the modem. I currently have internet with just the modem hooked up but have lost connection 3-4 times this way over the past 4 days. I have no connection with the router connected now. It says wire unplugged. I was thinking it was the router but have found out another DSL customer in my town has the exact same issue and he has a different router.  Did Verison reset some security programs that won't allow my router to connect or is Verison DSL having issues we are not aware of in Greenwood, DE?  It is just strange that two residences are experiencing the same issues in different areas.

    #1 What is the model of that Westell modem?

    are you saying that the router says that or are you saying your OS (and Version - for example Windows XP) is saying that?

  • Wireless printer keeps linking up with neighbors router

    My wireless printer keeps linking with my neighbors router when I turn it on, even though it's sitting right next to my router. If I ask my neighbor to turn his router off then my printer will link with my router. What's happening here and how can I fix it?

    You can try to set the security on your router and input all the wireless settings on your printer manually. So it will not keep on linking with your neighbors wireless network.

  • Wireless to Wired PC problems with WRT54GS router

    I am helping a friend troubleshoot a home network with a high-speed DSL line, WRT54GS router, 3 wired XP PCs and two laptops connecting to the router via 80211.g
    The desktop PCs see each other on the network and can share files and printers.
    However the laptops via WIFI don't see the wired desktops on the network, nor can the desktop PCs see the laptops on the network. I tried running the XP network wizard on each laptop with no luck. I tried some ping tests with the following results:
      When I ping a laptop from a desktop, I get a return ping
      When I ping a desktop from a laptop, I can NO return ping.
      When I ping the IP address of the router from a desktop, I get a return ping 
      When I ping the IP address of the router from a laptop, I can NO return ping.
    I tried disabling the firewall features internal to the router with no luck.
    All machines are running Macafee total security with a firewall. I made sure the firewall was disabled for these tests.
    I would appreciate some advice.
    Thanks

    Turn on file & printer sharing on all computers.  Make sure they are all on the same workgroup.  Do not use network wizard.
    Log on to the router and setup your wireless settings & wireless security.  Change the network name from Linksys to something else.  Copy these settings on a piece of paper.  Now go to your laptops and find the network you just created.  It will ask you for the key or passphrase.  Input the passphrase you just created.  If it does not work you will have to manually configure your wireless settings that you written on paper.

    I need advise and help with this problem .
    First , I have been with Mac for many years ( 14 to be exact ) I do have some knowledge and understanding of Apple product .
    At the present time I'm having lots of problems with the router so I was looking in to some info , and come across one web site regarding : port forwarding , IP addresses .
    In my frustration , amongst lots of open web pages tutorials and other useless information , I come across innocent looking link and software to installed called Genieo , which suppose to help with any router .
    Software ask for permission to install , and about 30 % in , my instinct was telling me , there is something not right . I stop installation . Delete everything , look for any
    trace in Spotlight , Library . Nothing could be find .
    Now , every time I open Safari , Firefox or Chrome , it will open in my home page , but when I start looking for something in steed of Google page , there is
    ''search.genieo.com'' page acting like a Google . I try again to get raid of this but I can not find solution .
    With more research , again using genieo.com search eng. there is lots of articles and warnings . From that I learn do not use uninstall software , because doing this will install more things where it come from.
    I do have AppleCare support but its to late to phone them , so maybe there some people with knowledge , how to get this of my computer
    Any help is welcome , English is my learned language , you may notice this , so I'm not that quick with the respond

    Genieo definitely doesn't help with your router. It's just adware, and has no benefit to you at all. They scammed you so that they could display their ads on your computer.
    To remove it, see:

    Do not use the Genieo uninstaller!

    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.

    we need to have an associated application installed in the system for that particular fileYup.
