Settings to get wireless router to work with verizon DSL modem?

I have a friend who lives in NYC who's roommate has verizon DSL service, and they're trying to get their Linksys BEFW11S4 wireless router working with it so my friend can use wireless with her laptop. They're clueless with networking things, and I'm only familiar with setting routers up for Fios and cable service. I know DSL settings are different and I was hoping somebody could tell me the important ones to use on the router for Verizon DSL in NYC. Right now the roommate is just using a little 3"x3" black modem connected to her computer with an ethernet wire, but they don't know what model or anything the modem is. Can anybody tell me what settings I should use when I login to the router and configure it? Thanks

Perhaps this may help

How do I get my router to work with my new modem?

Since the mods deleted my other post, so no one could see it and think anything bad about linksys's customer service, I will just have to ask a dumb noob question. I am not an IT professional, I am just a regular, non-technical kind of guy. I tried to follow the little guides that they have here, but they leave out too many steps for someone like me, who never does this kind of thing. Or at least, I have to assume that it does, cause it still does not work after I have tried the guide to my router, several times. I have to say that I am at my wits end with this stuff, since my whole home network is down. My router is a WRT54GS V7. But in an attempt to solve my problem, I updated to the latest firmware. My modem is a Motorola 2210-02. My ISP is AT&T. I have tried to get help from them, they do not care. I had to buy a new modem cause their other siemens speedstream 4100B died. So can anyone tell me, step by step, what to do to make my home network up and running again? Sorry about the rant, and the clear frustration, but I can not get any help from anywhere. So this is my last resort.

As your ISP is an DSL Provider, to configure your Router with the DSL Provider there are certain rules which you need to follow to configure your router to work with the DSL Provider..
Connect the Modem to the Linksys router on the Internet Port and then connect your computer to the Router on the LAN Port 1. Login to the Router setup and below you need to change the "Local IP address", By default its 192.168.1.1 so you need to change it to 192.168.5.1 and click on Save Settings....
Once you are done with the settings, you need to power cycle your network. Unplug the power from the Router and Modem, wait for 30 sec and then plug the power to the Modem first and when all the lights are solid on your modem then plug the power to the Linksys router..
Now check if you are Online from your Wired Computer.

Routers: Any configurable device that sits between your computer and the internet link you have.
Routers seem to fall into two categories
Those that work straight from the box. See Apple Doc 93333
NOTE
This Doc has not been updated since Jan 04
and those that do not.
This post will deal with what you may need to look at.
First off make sure your device is acting as a DHCP server. (if you are already on the internet you may not have to bother with this.)
Check in the Network Preference Pane, in the "Built in Ethernet" option from the "Show" drop down list.
Make sure the TCP/IP tab is the 'front' one. You should be able to see Configure IPv4 and it most likely reads Using DCHP. Make a note of your IP address. It will start 10.xxx.xxx.xxx or 192.168.xxx.xxx (the 'x' s will stand for any number between 1 and 255).
Your router is most likely to be configurable from your browser. You will need to find the IP address to type into the browser from any Readme or PDF files that came on the install disk or visit the makers website and download a manual.
DMZ Demilitarised Zone
This is a less secure setting that basically opens all ports and points the incoming data to your computer. (not helpful if you have more than one computer on your LAN)
NAT Sometimes called NAPT and related to Port Forwarding (also Virtual Server or Pin Holes)
These settings are usually found in an Advanced setting.
You will need to set an incoming IP address (Usually 0.0.0.0 for any outside server), a port that data will arrive on, the Inside computers IP address (your computer) and the port it will deal with the data on and the protocol it will use.
iChat uses TCP and UDP so some devices will need the settings done twice, once for each protocol.
See Apple Doc 93208 for more information.
Note:
Note 1 should read:
1. All iChat AV traffic is UDP except for ports 5190 and 5298, which need to be open for both TCP and UDP; and 5220, 5222, which need to be open for TCP only.
UPnP Universal Plug n Play.
This is a simple Plug and Play type of setting. iChat can find it's own way through a router if the device has this capability.
Trigger Ports
Some devices offer a security measure that works by a first or trigger port receiving a data packet and then opening further ports when accepted.
The first port for incoming Video or Audio invites is port 5678. When you click on the invite window the process moves to port 5060 (so these will need to be opened by the trigger port) for negotiating the final group of ports from the group of 20 (16384-16403 These will need to open when the trigger says so as well). Therefore port 5678 triggers ports 5678, 5060, 16384-16403. All on UDP. Port 5190 neeeds to trigger port 5190 for both TCP and UDP
Wireless
Here you will have to read around but this Apple Doc 58514 might be a good starting place.
Multiple devices
Make sure only one is acting as a DHCP server. Make sure wireless devices are bridged properly.

The Port Forward.com site lists many devices and clicking on one will take you to a list of Applications. This iChat will open an page that will start by telling you the defaults to access the device
Opening or Allowing ports. Several Methods not all devices have all of them.
DMZ (Demilitarised Zone)
This is a less secure setting that basically opens all ports and points the incoming data to your computer. (not helpful if you have more than one computer on your LAN). It can be considered as an extreme form of Port Forwarding
Port Forwarding (also Virtual Server or Pin Holes)
These settings are usually found in an Advanced setting.
You may need to set an incoming IP address (Usually 0.0.0.0 to any outside server), a port that data will arrive on, the Inside computer's IP address (your computer) and the port it will deal with the data on and the protocol it will use.
See this pic for an example of the description above.
In this example shows that on some Port AND Protocols need to be listed.
iChat uses TCP and UDP so some devices will need the ports listed one by one and some settings done twice, once for each protocol. The example above has a "Both" setting
See Apple Article HT1507 Previously Doc 93208 for more information. This is the Tiger iChat 3 list. The same ports are needed for Leopard except for these changes
My Note 2:
On the first link Note 1 under tables in that link would be better if it read:
" 1. All iChat AV traffic is UDP -
except for ports 5190 and 5298, which need to be open for both TCP as well;
and 5220, 5222, which need to be open for TCP only. "
Note 2
GoggleTalk needs port 5223 on TCP. Also note the Server name for iChat 3 set ups
UPnP Universal Plug n Play.
This is a simple Plug and Play type of setting. iChat can find it's own way through a router if the device has this capability.
By Not doing Port Forwarding, Triggering or DMZ and enabling UPnP the application is allowed to control the modem and the ports that are open.
They close after the application has finished with them on a timed basis.
On some devices the number of "hops" (how far away the UPnP can be "seen") can be reduced from a default of 4)
Trigger Ports
Some devices offer a security measure that works by a first or trigger port receiving a data packet and then opening further ports when accepted.
The first port for incoming Video or Audio invites is port 5678.
Pre iChat 4
When you click on the invite window the process moves in to port 5060 (so these will need to be opened by the trigger port) for negotiating the final group of ports from the group of 20 (16384-16403 These will need to open when the trigger says so as well). Therefore port 5678 triggers ports 5678, 5060, 16384-16403. All on UDP. Port 5190 neeeds to trigger port 5190 for both TCP and UDP.
See this variation where only the ports listed above are completed.
The other single ports need to be set one by one in addition. (5220,5222, 5223 5297, 5298, 5353)Replace
iChat 4
The port used in IChat 4 is port 16402 instead of port 5060. The group of 20 ports is reduced to 10 (16393-16402). This is because all the In and Out Audio and Video data is on one port. Other that than the settings are the same.
At this time there is no Info on the ports the Screen Sharing in iChat 4 uses.
Wireless
Here you will have to read around but this Apple Article TA25949 Previously Doc 58514 might be a good starting place.
Essentially whether you are wireless or Ethernet to your routing device makes very little difference to the way you do things.
Your computer will get two IPs from a DHCP server if you are connected by both methods. (iChat does not like this)
Multiple devices
Make sure only one is acting as a DHCP server. Make sure wireless devices are bridged properly.

Setting up Time Capsule to Work With Verizon DSL

I am not able to establish a new network using the Time Capsule I just purchased. The funny thing is that the capsule is replacing an Airport Express that works just fine. Same cables, same location, just that the time capsule cannot get an appropriate IP address from the DSL modem. Anyone have any experience in setting up the unit (using Airport Utility) to connect with Verizon?

I realise that, because it's 802.11g the MacBook will not be able to achieve the potential connection speed of the 'N' Time Capsule, however, even if I had the TC, with a G4 PowerBook on the LAN everything would connect at the (lower) 11g speed anyhow, wouldn't it?
As you have already ascertained, any 802.11g device connected to a 802.11n network will only operate at the highest available bandwidth that 802.11g allows ... mainly 54 Mbps. In addition, when even a single 802.11g device connects to a 802.11n network, 802.11n clients will only get about 70% of 802.11n's top bandwidth. To get around this, you can configure a "dual band" network. With this type of network, you can run both "g" and "n" clients on separate network to get the highest bandwidth possible for each. So, in your case, the Time Capsule will run a "n" only network and your AX will provide the "g" only one. The AX would be connected directly to the TC by Ethernet and reconfigured as a bridge so clients on either network would "see" each other.

Is there a wireless router that works with 10.9 I will also need an extender?

I upgraded to 10.9 and it or I killed my wifi that had worked rather well for 1 1/2 years. Linksys tech attempted to help me but wanted me to buy a newer model I felt she were clueless or shaddy at best or both.
Been online searching for a top of the line router with no luck since I have no way of knowing if it will work with 10.9. All I can find is routhers that do not work with 10.9.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cliff

What I use and love: Netgear R6200 (no longer top of the line but gets through brick and maintains 35Mb signal at 30 ft. and is $100 less than when I bought it seems so short a time ago.
I don't (Mac Pro 1,1) run 10.9 which while I can find issues wth some Macs and wifi and with Apple routers, I would look at what you use for your Mac Pro to add wireless which might.

Trying to get wireless remote to work with Flash Presentation... HELP!!!

I know almost nothing about Flash or Powerpoint. I was given a Flash presentation I need that I'd like to show at meetings using my new wireless remote, but I can't get it to move forward & backward between slides (works fine using arrow keys on the laptop keyboard - Windows XP Pro). The remote works fine with Powerpoint presentations, so I know the remote is ok. Is there some setting/command I need to allow my Flash presentation to work with my remote, or do I need a special remote? I already talked to the remote tech support (Keyspan/TrippLite) and they were totally unfamiliar wirh Flash and simply said that their unit works with Powerpoint as advertised, which was true, but they couldn't help me with Flash presentations. Can anyone out there help me?? Thanks very much!

Hi, and thanks so much for responding! I have the Keyspan PR-EZ1 and I don't think it allows me to "map" keys since when I called their tech support, they didn't mention that as an option. I'm really new at this, but I just noticed - as I was sitting right here on my browser earlier, I pressed the remote's slide-changing keys and my web page scrolled up and down! Just now I tried it and my insertion point cursor moved up and down! So I guess these buttons must be "mapped" to the up and down arrows. How nice it would be if I could somehow figure out how to switch them to the left and right arrows. A colleague of mine told me just an hour or so ago that when she bought her Logitech wireless remote, it had the same problem with Flash presentations. But one day, out of the blue, it "fixed" itself and now does Flash fine. (I didn't ask her if it still does Powerpoint though.) She has no idea how or why and doesn't care. Her remote is a discontinued model though (sigh). Anyway, maybe it'll be worth my while to make another call to tech support and ask about key mapping. Maybe a more advanced model might allow this function. Thanks for the spark!

Ok, I'm officially retarded. I followed the link you gave me, which led to another link about fullscreening (a .zip file) which I decompressed and ran then escaped out of it. I then looked at the gobbledygook programming language code and I found where it said "trapallkeys" but still haven't the slightest idea how to get my remote to work. Is there some utility file which I can run which already has this "trapallkeys" function compiled into a nice simple executable that I can run prior to or in conjunction with my Flash presentation which will let my wireless remote controller flip through my slides? I'm sorry, but please don't expect me to understand what...
package
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.StageDisplayState;
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.ui.Keyboard;
import flash.system.fscommand;
public class FullscreenDemo extends Sprite
public function FullscreenDemo():void
fscommand("trapallkeys", "true");
stage.showDefaultContextMenu = false;
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL;
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, onStage_KEY_DOWN);
quitScreen_mc.visible = false;
quitScreen_mc.yesBtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onQuitYes_CLICK);
quitScreen_mc.noBtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onQuitNo_CLICK);
quitScreen_mc.yesBtn_mc.buttonMode = true;
quitScreen_mc.noBtn_mc.buttonMode = true;
function onStage_KEY_DOWN(evt:KeyboardEvent):void {
if (evt.keyCode == Keyboard.ESCAPE) {
quitScreen_mc.visible = true;
function onQuitYes_CLICK(evt:MouseEvent):void {
fscommand("quit");
function onQuitNo_CLICK(evt:MouseEvent):void {
quitScreen_mc.visible = false;
means. That may be all I need to solve my problem, but it's in a language I just don't understand. Could you or somebody out there please break this down for a newbie?? Thanks very much! :-) :-)

HP PSC 2510 All in One - can't get wireless feature to work with AE

I just got the Airport Extreme 802.11n access point. But I can't get my old HP printer to connect wirelessly. This is an 802.11b device and should be compatible. I can plug it in to the AE and it works, but can't get the wireless feature to work. Any suggestions?

Jimmy5, Welcome to the discussion area!
Personally, I would connect it to one of the LAN port on the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS).
If you do succeed in connecting it wirelessly, it will drag down your wireless speeds.

IPod Touch not working with Verizon fivespot modem

I cannot get my iPod Touch to work with my Verizon Fivespot hotspot. The hot spot shows up in the WAN settings, but when I try to reach the internet it says it is not available. The Touch works fine with my home hotspot. Any ideas?

Do other devices work with it? What says "not available"? Is it Safari when you try to connect to a website? If you go into the network settings what IP address is assigned to the iPod? Do wifif arc show on the upper left? Have you looked at the documentation for the Verizon product?

Getting your wireless router to work with the mini computers and their small monitors

I have one on the new Dell Mini computers. I purchased the Wireless-G Broadband Router model #WRT54G2 and had the most difficult time getting Network Magic installed on the Mini because the monitor was too small for the required resolution (1024x768) - this was trying to install via the CD that came with the router.
The solution to this problem:
1) Use the CD to install the Router and Network Magic on your desktop (or wherever you are hardwired to the internet).
2) Open Network Magic; go to "Status" and download the newest version of Network Magic to your desktop.
3) DO NOT use the CD to install Network Magic on the Mini. Instead - Unplug your hardwire connection from your desktop and connect it to your Mini. Go to "linksysbycisco.com/us/en/support/WRT54G2/download" and install the newest version of Network Magic on your Mini.
4) Replug your hardwire connection into your desktop.
5) You can now use Network Magic from your desktop to add the mini to the network. Go to "Tasks" and then "Add a device." You will be able to follow the directions at this point.
The only other issue I found was naming the network. I had to name the desktop and the mini the same name otherwise it wouldn't connect.
Good Luck and hopefully it won't take you the three days it took me to figure this out.

Hi i have a Router WRT 54 G2 v1, when i want to connect it wireless to my new mini, He is asking me to enter a Security key !
i don't know how to get that Code, anyone would have an answer for me ?
Thank you

Can't get wireless keybord to work with Win XP

Hello,
I've installed Win XP SP2 on my iMac via Boot Camp and am having problems getting the Apple Wireless keyboard to connect. I did get the wireless mighty mouse to work by entering a passkey of "0000". For the keyboard, I've tried entering an 8 digit key and 16 digit key and also let Windows pick a key for me but nothing works. Initially the status would show that the keyboard is connected but then after a few seconds it will say there is no passkey or something to that effect, and the connection would then be lost.
Does anyone have any ideas how to get this to work?

Had problems with wireless keyboard, but have just got it working a second time. Might be worth trying.
1. You need a working mouse (either a USB, or the mighty mouse.)
2. I did try the method as described in the bootcamp guide, but I don't have a USB keyboard so got the computer to choose the passkey. The keyboard would initially connect, then lose the passkey.
Then I tried this
1. Run the same add bluetooth device program. Make sure it's in discovery mode (check the tabs).
2. Click add device and wait for keyboard to appear.
3. DON'T then click next. Instead right click the keyboard icon, click properties, one of the tabs has an option to download drivers. Tick this and click apply.
4. I was advised to reset, which I haven't, and haven't closed the bluetooth install program. The keyboard is now working.
I can only think it's something to do with working around the need for a paaskey, which seems to have caused some problems. Please let me know how you find this.

Router Problem - Works with Windoze, Linux, but not with Mac

I can't seem to get any router to work with my Mac.
I've tried a Linksys 'b' router, a Netgear 'g' router and a Belkin 'g' router.
No joy.
When I connect my Mac directly to my cable modem (Motorola Surfboard), there are no issues. When I connect the router in between, the Mac pulls the proper ip address and I can ping the router, but I can't get any further. If I try to ping an outside ip address (such as the 4.2.2.2 dns) I get the error message "ping: sendto: Cannot allocate memory". [Does anyone know what this message means?]
A second computer (IBM NetVista) connects reliably using Windoze XP. The same machine, booted in CentOS also connects reliably (after disabling the firewall).
Note, these are all wired connections. I'm not even trying to use wireless yet. The cables all check out, since they all work in other configurations (the Mac->router cable is the same one I use for Mac->Surfboard, and the router->surfboard cable works when connecting from the NewVista machine.
I thought the Mac problems might be firewall related. I had "Brickhouse" installed,but it has since been removed. My network settings no long advise that there is any firewall software in place (previously Sharing > Firewall was greyed out with message that other firewall software was installed). Sharing > Firewall now reports "Firewall Off".
I know the routers work, since I can connect from the NetVista machine. I know the cables are good, because they all work in other configurations. I know the Mac is seeing the router, and the router is seeing the Mac because a correct ip address is pulled. I can even communicate between the machines (ftp,ssh) but I can't get internet access using the Mac through the router.
Oh yeah... one other oddity. When I have personal web sharing enabled, an attempt to access the router setup page at 192.168.1.1 fetches the local server index.html page instead of accessing the router. When web sharing is off, I get a "you are not connected to the internet" message.
Any insight?

Very strange indeed!
Only 2 suggestions at this point...
Get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Try dragging these files to the Desktop & Reboot...
/Users/nnnn/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist

Apple Mail Still Will Not Work with Verizon

Greetings to All:
Sunday, March 24, 2013
I've been trying to get Apple Mail to work with Verizon email for some years without success. I read the boards and find that this is not an uncommon problem. I received the new server settings for Verizon email today and eagerly plugged them in thinking this would solve my problems with receiving Verizon email, but, alas, it did not. Microsoft Outlook does a dandy job of pulling in Verizon email, but Apple Mail cannot. It's ridiculous that I should have to jump over to another email app to open one email account. All of the settings have been checked and double checked and the machine rebooted as the instructions mandate.
I don't understand what the problem is with Apple Mail and Verizon email. Apple Mail pulls in just about every other email service without flaw. Does anybody out there have any insight into this?
-Dr. John

I am beyond frustrated with this issue. I've just spent 90 minutes on the phone with verizon support and it couldn't be fixed. I was told to call Apple. HAH! "Please call during normal business hours." Would anyone know what they are???!
I did NOT have trouble until I changed the servers, per Verizon's request. I am so happy I didn't futz aroudn with my iPad.

Outgoing Mail Problem with Verizon DSL

I live in Hampton Roads, VA area and have Verizon's DSL with wireless gateway equipment on Dell Computer. My iMAC connects wirelessly to the gateway and connects to Internet fine and receives email fine on the Verizon POP account. I have verified settings and read most of the topics on the post and am very frustrated. There does not seem to be a definative answer on whether outgoing mail should work with Verizon DSL. Any new insights on this topic or something to look at? Dell is set to use Port 25 and sends fine so I know this is the port to use.

What does “is not working” mean? What’s the problem exactly?
If you cannot send with the outgoing (SMTP) server provided by your ISP, the problem could be that you’re telling Mail to authenticate, but the outgoing server doesn’t actually require authentication because it can determine who you are by other means.
