Setting up the router 160NL

I wonder if there's any firmware version to connect to our providers like Beeline. For I've installed the firmware from MirWiFi.org and have difficulties with setting up. But there's no Internet link with LinkSys jriginal firmware. Could You help me, please?

Yes, simply go to www.linksys.com and just follow some links to your router model number and you will find your firmware that you need with instructions.

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 ).

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.

How to Set Up the Wireless Rounter for IM

Yesterday I bought a wireless rounter. It's from Linksys. The model no. is "WRT54G". After I set it up, the Internet worked just fine, but I couldn't log on the Microsoft messenger at all. What should I do? This frustated me a lot. I don't know where the problem is. Is it from rounter or the Internet provider, which uses DSL connection?
12 iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Was MSN working before you set up the router? I don't see why it would be the router. I've never seen problems. Do you have a firewall turned on?

Only one computer at a time through the router WRT 110

We have a Compaq laptop (Vista) with built-in wireless that connects through the router just fine. We have a new HP desktop (Vista) with a Linksys wireless card that connects through the router just fine. When either is connected the signal strength is excellent. But if we try to connect either machine while the other is already online, it will not connect and it disconnects the first machine. We have to shut both machines down, shut off the router for 30 seconds, restart the router, restart the desktop, and restart the laptop. Usually (but not always) both machines will then go online. Everybody's happy unless one of the machines goes to sleep. If you then "wake up" that machine, you have to start the whole process over again. I have tried several times to set up the router with a wired connection, I have set up both machines numerous times, transferring the settings for the network back and forth. I have tried setting up a new network. Most of the things work until one of the machines is shut down and then started again. I know it has to be in the router settings but I don't know where to go to solve this. Driving me batty, going in circles.....HELP!!!

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 Do you set up the IPod Touch to your pc home computer - when it asks for a password - what password is needed?

I just received an IPod Touch for a gift. Have a home computer through Charter. Have wi fi with pc at home. I am unable to get the Ipod to work with the pc and wifi.
Wi fi is on - At choose a Network - Have the option of t.dillow and other.
When i choose tdillow it asks for a password. What password is required?
I cannot get my email either.
How do I get the IPOD to connect to my wifi and enable to use mail through Yahoo account?

You need the password for your network/router. Sometime the dfault password is on a sticker on the router. As the person who controls/set up the router.

My roommates computers can't connect to the router!

Hey, so I've got this Cisco Lynksys E1200 and I've got internet going to it. When I first tried to connect to it my computor automaticaly set it up (giving the network a name, changing it from tehdefault "Cisco67809" to my perfered natwork name, etc.). The problem is that my rommates laptops cant seem to connect to it properly. I know their internet cards work because they have been able to access the internet via other nearby networks on occasion.
On the 2nd computor it skips the usual..."Conecting to network" attempt and instead just says it cant connect, but its so quick to say that it cant connect that it doesn't even seem to be trying, no request for password or anything! Yet we know the computor does try to connect to other networks, so why would it be so quick to deny a connection with our network without even telling us its "trying to connect"? It then gives the options to "diagnose the problem" or "connect to another network" but the diagnose function just says it can't do anything and gives no information about whats going on.
With the 3rd computor it does connect, or so it says "conected" but with "Limited Acess" and absolutly no accesss to actual internet content.
I have tried to fully reset the router multiple times, creating brand new networks, but the same issue continues to happen. I thought it might have decided my computor was the only one allowed to access it because on each reset I was using my computor to set up the network, but when I reset it and tried to have my roomate on computor #2 set up the router and network (aka change it fromdefault Cisco67809 to our own in house network) it did not allow him to set up the network from scratch as I had done twice.
Why is this router rejecting computors and what can be done to get them online? When I log in to the routers settings it says it is set to allow up to 50 users. So far we have my laptop, and Ipad, and an I touch conneted successfully. Why cant we get the two other laptops on it?

Hi,
Can you try to clear or remove the Wireless Network Profile from those computers that can't connect? Then, try to reconnect afterwards. Probably, those old profiles stored on other computer have different wireless settings. On the E1200, make sure that MAC address filtering and Parental Control are disabled. Access your router's setup page then go to Wireless > Wireless MAC Filter > then check if it's Disabled. For Parental Control, you can access it via Access Policy tab.
Hope this helps.
If everyone needs to believe in something, I believe I'll have another beer..

WRT54GS Can not detect the router

We lost the internet connection a few days ago for a couple of hours and since then had to reset the modem and when I try to set up the router with the Easy Link Advisor I get can not detect the router. I am using the router to access the internet and it can't be detected???
I have powered it off enough times and then some and need to get this running to use the laptops.
I am running ver 7 firmware that it came with but I don't know what the exact version I am running or gor that matter where to find it.
Thanks

okay went through the firmware upgrade and installed it through 192.168.1.1 to admin tab and upgrade. it got to the reboot part and hung there for a bit, i hit continue or what ever it said and came back upwith a dns error and page unreachable. version installed is what i downloaded 7.50.5. i am still having the same problem, all the lights are lit that are suppossed to be lit, and i am on the internet and running through the router, and when i go into easylink advisor and start the setup process i have to go through the entire thing including selecting the router (which it should know what router it is) though removing the power cord and waiting and still told that it can not detect the router. i have no idea where to go from here. thanks!

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.

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.

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.

I want to set up the Time Machine and I would love to use the Time Capsule but since I already have a wireless router I need suggestions on what other external disks Apple could recommend to use with the Time Machine and how to configure that disk

I want to set up the Time Machine and I would love to use the Time
Capsule but since I already have a wireless router I need suggestions on
what other
external disks Apple could recommend to use with the Time Machine and
how to configure that disk.
A complication that I need to resolve is the fact that I am using Vmware
Fusion to be able to use Windows on my Mac. Now it seems that Time
Machine is not backing up my files
on that virtual Windows without additional configuration and my question
is whether you can advise me here or whether this is only a matter for
the Fusion virtual machine.

If you want to use Time Capsule you can.. you simply bridge it and plug it into the existing router.. wireless can be either turned off or used to reinforce the existing wireless.. eg use 5ghz in the TC which is much faster than your 2.4ghz.
You can also use a NAS.. many brands available but the top brands are synology, qnap and netgear readynas series. These will all do Time Machine backups although how well always depends on Apple sticking to a standard. There are cheaper ones.. I bought a single disk zyxel which was rebadged and sold through my local supermarket. It actually works very well for TM at least on Snow Leopard. Major changes were made in Lion and again ML so do not instantly think it will work on later versions. I haven't tried it yet with those versions.
Any external drive can be plugged into the mac. Use the one with the fastest connection or cheapest price according to your budget. USB2 drives are cheap and plentiful. But no where near as fast as USB3 or FW800. So just pick whichever suits the ports on your Mac. Interesting Apple finally moved to USB3 on their latest computers.
TM should exclude the VM partition file.. it is useless backing it up from Mac OS side.. and will slow TM as it needs to backup that partition everyday for no purpose.. TM cannot see the files inside it to backup just the changes.
You need to backup windows from windows. Use MSbackup to external drive.. if you have pro or ultimate versions you can backup to network drive. But MSbackup is a dog.. at least until the latest version it cannot restore the partition without first loading windows. There are about a zillion backup software versions for windows.. look up reviews and buy one which works for you. I use a free one Macrium Reflect which does full disk backups and is easy to restore.. to do incremental backups though you have to pay for it.

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 have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list.

I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list. I've confirmed the mac address is included on that list and that the password is correct. Under choses netwrok I select the network and it just goes into a spin. I have tried removing the password and the access list settings and it still will not complete the connection to the router thus no internet access. The routers firmware is also up to date. This thing worked fine before this update and I've already tried to restore from backup. Any ideas or is the wifi nic bad in this thing with the new apple firmware update? Any fix?

Thanks Bob, I don't know why but it all of a sudden worked a few days later. It's a mystery but at least problem solved.
