Setting up my router

I have a WRT54GS V7.2 Router and am using a Sony Vaio VGN-FW340J with built in wirless. I put the CD for Easylink Advisor in and when it gets to the section where it asks what kind of router you have it just sits there once you make the choice. It will not move on to help me set this up. I have a Hughesnet HN7000S for my internet modem If I could get some guidence on how to set this darn thing up or a place to find step by step instuctions I would be forever greatful to you more tech saavy folks. Hope thre is someone who can help me out. Thanks

Don't use the CD to install your router...You can configure your router manually...

Problems setting up static routing

HI
I'm having a problem setting up static routing. I keep getting the message "invalid static route". I have an E1550 router and my frimware is up to date. I have tried a few different gateway addresses ie 192.168.1.1, 127.0.0.1 and my router's address on the net, but I keep getting the same message. Has anyone else had this problem and been able to fix it?

I think the E1550 router supports LAN to LAN routing provided that you have two local networks. If you only have a plain modem and the E1550, I believe you can't do Static routing on that type of setup. Found this link that might help: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=12a84336a124498eb5d6f0204b85191e_17589.xml&pid=80&...

Problems setting up WRT54G2 router

I'm having problems setting up my Linksys WRT54G2 router. I want my mac laptop (iBook G3 running OSX) to use a wireless connection, and the home computer (running Windows XP) to stay connected to the modem.
I originally tried to set up the router by connecting it via ethernet to my laptop (and by ethernet to the modem), and went into the 192.168.1.1 address to configure it. The internet works fine on my laptop when connected to the wireless by ethernet but it can't connect wirelessly (it has an original airport card fitted, at first I thought I might need to upgrade the firmware but I ran a software update and one didn't come up). I then realised that I would need to MAC clone from the PC, that is connected to the modem? I tried to do this today, but I couldn't access the 192.168.1.1 address from the PC. I have tried resetting the router, and disabling the firewall but still can't access it. This PC also has anti-virus software running too - could this be the problem, or am I setting it up wrong? Thanks.

If you are trying to Setup your Router with the setup disk, Then you can exit from the setup and configure your Router manually. Before you configure your router, you need to Press and hold the reset button for 60 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 60 seconds and re-connect the power cable.....
You need to connect your Modem to Linksys Router on Internet Port and your Computer to Linksys Router on Port No.1.

I have an Airport Extreme as my router and am using time capsule to extend the network in my new house. My ISP is only providing me 4-5 ip addresses and wants me to set up my router to issue out new ip addresses for all my devices.How do I fix this?Help.
They said I need to change my settings to NAT settings. I haven't been able to figure out or find anything. I have also spoken to Apple Support on the phone for hours without being able to figure out how to do this ( i don't think he knew much either lol.) Please help me because I've got about 15-20 devices in my house that require to be connected to the internet and this is just making things ridiculously slow and painful for me.
Thanks!

It is on DHCP & NAT under router mode yet my isp is still the one issuing ip addresses to my devices instead of the router issuing them

I set up wireless router and now it won't turn back on

I had a friend set up the router so that my Comp sent out wireless signal.
It doesn't automatically turn on and I can't find how to turn it back on.
Please help i'm new to mac and these things are putting me off having one.

Hi RE,
Thanks for the answer, I have gotten it working, it was showing as being on (internet sharing) I then turned if off and on again (internet sharing) and that seemed to do it.

How to set the default route on a RVS4000 to point to a gateway in the LAN

Hi
The dialog in the RVS4000 for static routes does not allow to set the default route to point to a gateway in the LAN. Clearly this is either a bug or a feature of the web-interface and not a restriction of the box, which runs some kind of linux. So my question is there a way around this problem rather then defining routes to n-class A networks to cover the internet? Like a terminal access to set the default route?
Thanks and cheers
Frank

Hi David
Thanks for your reply. I did already the first part and it seems that I presumed wrongly that the RVS4000 can be used as a layer 3 switch, instead it is only a 1-port gateway. Not that there is a technical limitation from the hardware or the OS of the box. It does layer 3 routing e.g. for its VLAN's. The only point to stop it from having the capability which I expect from something called router is to set its default route to the right gateway independant which port might be connected. The reason why I want a LAN port pointing to the gateway and do not use the WAN port without firewall is of course the VLAN capability of the LAN ports. The idea of the RVS is to bundle two nets, including the one where the gateway is on, and send it to a WAP4410N box, which nicely makes them wireless with different SSID's. Actually I have two ports connetced to the core network, if I am forced to have only the WAN port connected to the core, due to this artificial limitation, I would have to reconfigure a bit. Therefore I try to find an easier solution setting the route by "hand".
Cheers Frank

Setting my WRT54G router up WITHOUT a modem!

Hey guys. When I set up my router, and install it for DHCP, the status shows like this: IP-Adress: 0.0.0.0, or like everything is at 0.0.0.0 ??? =( Right now im connected via a Switch. PLEASE help me!

1)make sure the modem is connected to the internet port and the internet LED is lit on the router
2)if you have a cable modem...on the router ui , under the "setup" tab , click on "mac add clone" subtab , enable it and click clone.. save the settings and do a power cycle
3)check the internet ip add ... if getting a valid ip add, try going online
4)if you have a DSL connection , under the "setup" tab...select the "internet connection type" as PPPoE .. enter the username and password provided by the ISP ..
5) go to the " status" tab and check whether the PPPoE login status is connected and there is a valid internet ip add ..

Setting up Multicast Routing for Imaging on HP Switches

I've just spent a bit of time getting multicast imaging to work on our
HP ProCurve switched network so I thought I'd post what was necessary
so if anyone else had to look for it then they'd have some help.
You'll need a switch capable of routing such as a 5300 series that is
already routing regualr IP traffic. By default IGMP routing is disabled
so that multicast traffic will not cross VLANs. Here's how to change
that:
Log into the 5300 in Manager mode (aka Admin)
type "config" /goes into config mode
type "ip multicast routing" /sets up IGMP routing
type "router pim" /sets up Protocol Independant Multicast routing
type "vlan *" /where * is a VLAN numeric ID
type "ip igmp" /sets up IGMP routing on that VLAN
type "ip pim" /sets up PIM routing on that VLAN
Repeat those last three steps for all necessary VLANs
type "exit" /to get back out of config mode - you may have to do
that more than once
type "wri mem" to save the config changes
Then go out to any other switches in the network path for multicasts
and login in Manager mode
type "config"
type "vlan *" /where * is VLAN numeric ID
type "ip igmp" /turns on IGMP routing
Repeat those last two steps for all VLANs that need it
type "exit" /to get back out of config mode - you may have to do
that more than once
type "wri mem" to save the config changes
That's it and it meant I went from "Session Master not found" to "New
Image successful". I hope it helps somebody.

WRV200 Unable to set static default route

In my case i should use the wrv200 as a router with static routes.
A tried to set up a route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.254.
I did not get any error messages after clicking the "save changes" button, but it does not work and it can't be seen on the routing table.
I think that it is not a missing feature! That must be a bug!
Could anybody help me please?

I can not do that because the default gateway parameter belongs to the wan interface, which is connected with the router at the vineyard over vpn and has the ip 172.16.1.1 if I try to set here 192.168.1.254 it says:
"The gateway should be in the same subnet as the interface" or something like that with the same meaning.
I did not post but i use the firmware version 1.0.39

Trying to Set Up Linksys Router

Hi, I have a Linksys router and used to have an IBM. I know have the PowerBook G4 and I am trying to set up the router in my house. The Linksys installed CD is not supported by Mac, nor their customer support. I need step-by-step instructions on how to set up the router in my home. Thank you.

I assume you are connecting to the internet through an ISP/DSL service. If so,
1. Connect your router to the modem, and then your Mac to the router via ethernet. I am not sure what the set up would be for Airport as I do not have Airport on my G5. This should work for an ethernet connection.
2. Open the Network preference pane Show Built in Ethernet. Then click on TCP/IP and configure for Using DHCP which basically sets your mac to automatically connect to the router/modem/internet.
3. the click on the Ethernet choice and Configure Automatically.
Now use your browser and set the address to 192.168.1.1 which is the address of the web page in the router. Check your documentation for the default password, etc. When you get to the basic set up page, you will have to enter your basic Internet Connection Type, your online user name and password, which you should know from your service provider.
Once those are set you should be able to connect. Be aware though that depending on your service provider, some of these settings made need to be different. I am on Earthlink with a Linksys WRT54G router and these settings work for me.
Hope this gives you a steer in the right direction. And by the way, when setting up with my PC laptop, had lots of problems. When working only with my Mac, it was almost plug and play to connect via the router/modem!

Cannot get Cisco Connect to install or set up E1000 router

1. We have been using an E1000 router connected to our main Dell desktop (running XP SP3) to handle a small home network that includes wife's laptop which has card and kids' desktop with USB wireless adapter.
2. We purchased a new main desktop computer, ZT Systems running Windows 7. I am attempting to install Cisco Connect on this computer and set up the router. I reset it to factory specifications because I figured I'd have to start from step 1.
3. I cannot find the original setup CD that came with the router and I have no clue whatsoever what my password is.
4. So, I downloaded CiscoConnect.E1000.1.3.11069.2, the appropriate software to my desktop, and have been trying to install the software and configure the router, without any success whatsoever. When I plug it in, it asks me to connect the router which I do. It then will get to 25 percent of setup and stop, saying it couldn't be configured. At the same time, I have no Internet access, keeps telling me it's looking for networks when I actually am trying to set up a network.
5. I've tried the steps for configuring without the software, Windows still searches for a network and tells me it can't find one and I have no Internet access.
6. Can anyone tell me what's going on here, what I'm doing wrong, anything I'm missing? Do I need to just buy another router or what? Thanks in advance for any help.

Does your desktop have wireless? If so, switch it off and retry the installation. Make sure to reset the E1000 by holding the reset button for about 10 seconds.

Recommended MTU Size setting within the router and...

Hello!
I was wondering what MTU Size do you guys recomended me setting within the Router Interface
and on Windows for best performance when on a BT Broadband service?
Note: It's not a BT Router i'm using, i'm using a Netgear DG834N.
I am sure BT Routers like the HomeHub have a MTU Size of 1500 set in the Router Interface, am I correct?
My Netgear DG834N has a MTU Size of 1458 in the Router Interface by default.
Thanks for responding.

Personally I was able to squeeze about 11KB/s more out of my 8128Kbps line by setting my MTU to '1430', maxing out my throughput at (after the change): 859KB/s. I'm on a 20CN DSLAM so it might be different on a 21CN MSAN.
Why not experiment? You can't hurt your line (As long as your router's firmware doesn't reset your ADSL sync everytime you change it - If it does then DLM might have something to say ).

Hi
On my macbook pro
I'm try to set up a new Epson printer SX 445 to my router/network but each time I run the set up wizard it fails to complete saying Security Key/Password Check fail.
*entered security key/password does not match the one set for for router.
I know that the password is correct and have rechecked this by changing it a few times
and I still get the same result.
My network internet service provider is not interested and says to call Epson.
Anybody have any clues how I can resolve this?

I personally suggest the new Drobo FS. Since it has an iTunes server built in and you can use any size sata hard drive in it it is better and a NAS that has to use the same size drives.

Can someone help me set up my router?

i have a buffalo router with bridge mode a.k.a accesspoint capability. now, i am familiar with setting up the router in router mode. but recently i got a new connection which comes along with a dhcp enabled modem and uses static ip. i just have to plug in the modem to the macbook and net starts working. i dont need to set the ip either. however, i case the ip is wrong all i need to do is set the fixed ip in 'network' and its up and running.
now i tried setting my buffalo router in access point mode with both automatic as well as manul ip configs but it doesnot work. infact it doesnot accept my ip saying that my ip and gateway are of differnt domain. buffalo has no online supprt or proper documentation.
i know this is apple exclusive website but since this has got to do with networking with my mac i posted here. can someone give me step by step instrections? thanks in advance.
Neerav

cable modem is handling the dhcp.
to use a router properly then it is best to turn off the dhcp server in the cable modem. You only want it to pass the WAN (Public IP address) to the router.
So you connect the cable modem to your router's wan port. You then connect your mac to the router using a ethernet cable. Then you configure the router using its WebUI by entering its ip address into your webrowser usually http://192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 etc
These are generic instructions.
Then you setup your internet connection to receive ip automatically.
Then goto router's wireless settings. Change the SSID to a name of your choosing other than the brand name of the router.
Change the wifi security to WPA-psk, tkip and set a good strong WPA passphrase.
Save the setttings.
Remove the ethernet cable from your mac click the airport icon in the menu bar, choose your new network and enter your wpa password.

How do I set up WRT54G router with 4 computers and WVC54GC Wireless Camera

Can anyone please tell me how to set up my Home Network with full security turned on?
I have at least 4 neighbors that show up on my wireless connections list. I have a daughter that loves music and is constantly downloading viruses but only on one wireless connection. The rest of us want to be protected from that computer. My system consists of the following:
One Linksys WRT54G Router
Two Linksys WMP54G Wireless PCI adapters,
Two Linksys WVC54GC Wireless Cameras (Possibility four if the 1st two ever work OK.)
Two Linksys LNE100TX PCI Ethernet Cards,
One HP Ethernet Printer
Three computers were connected by Ethernet cable and one was wireless. I did not change the admin password and I thought everything was working fine for a couple of years until I found that the wireless computer was acting as a “drone” and slowing everything down to a snails pace. It could even turn itself on.
I changed one of the Ethernet computers to wireless and decided that it might be time to also change the password and increase security. Setting up security completely shutdown the wireless drone computer. I was OK with that, at least until I can reformat that harddrive.
I then decided while I was at it, I would add a wireless camera (WVC54GC). I set it up using the software and Ethernet cable that came with it. After 6 tries I finally got the camera to work with the cable attached, but it does not work wireless and now none of the other computers connect any more. Is there a limit on how many connections? Should I reset the router and if so, do I disconnect the DSL modem? I’m afraid of the “drone” computer because I found some very bad malware on it. One in particular caused me to replace a hard drive.
I’ve read page after page of network stuff on the Internet and I guess I just don’t know how to ask the right questions. I’m tired of fooling with this.

hi , when u talk about security , are u referring to the "viruses" your daughters PC may be propogating to the rest of the network , or are u referring to external attacks on the router or your wireless PC"s ???
In case u are referring to the "virus" attacks , the best you can do is install a good antivirus software on all PC"s and keep the virus definations updated....
In case u are referring to the wireless security , i'd suggest that your use WPA2 personal. you can select WPA2 by going to the "wireless security" option.
let me know if u need anything more.
