The IP of my brain is blocked - I can't SECURE my Linksys WRT54GS Router!

I did the usual, recommended stuff to secure the Router from unwanted access. But, when I went to Connect from my Notebook with wireless I SEE my Router as a Secured Connection but I can't connect to it. (The Wireless Adapter is a Dell product, not a Linksys)
The only way I can connect is to reset the Router's parameters, thus leaving the Connection "Unsecured."
What am I missing??
Also, I was wondering if... in the Router Setup, under "Access Restrictions," I click to (×) Allow - "Internet access during selected days and hours." and create a List of ALL of my PC's... Would that BLOCK any PC which is NOT on my List?
Thanks.

I thought you said you did the usual recommecnded stuff??
The encryption key is the first usually recommended stuff.
Anyway, run the wireless network setup wizard in xp's control panel.
It will generate a wpa key for you. Make sure you select wpa at the bottom of the wizard.
Give the wizard a ssid , anything you want, then select auto assign a key, check wpa, click next.
If you have a flash drive use it, if not select set up manually and click next.
If you used the flash drive all the settings are in the SMRTKY folder as a txt file named wsettings. Open it and copy/paste the settings into your router. To set the pc's, just insert the flash drive into the pc and "add to the {your ssid} network" is an auto play option.
If no flash drive, click print net settings and the wsettings.txt file is gereated to print or save. Just copy/paste the info into the router and pc's.

Why does the Linksys WRT54G router REQUIRE a hostname when it's never used?

Why does the Linksys WRT54G REQUIRE a hostname when it's never used?
I can't find a single use for the router hostname, yet the Linksys WRT54G version 5 firmware v1.00.6 wireless router REQUIRES a hostname, even though nothing actually uses that hostname.
Why does the router require a hostname (why can't we just leave that field blank)?

Date: Sun, 8 Jul 2007

From: "Debbie Hurley"
Subject: "Unnecessary Router Name Requirement" bug in WRT54G V5
This is to report a bug in the "Setup", "Basic Setup"
tab, "Router Name" field
(https://10.2.18.20/basic.htm) in the otherwise
wonderful Linksys WRT54G V5 wireless router (firmware
revision 1.02.0).
As you are aware, a router is a security and privacy
device; as such, it should not require identifying
information if that identifying information is not
needed nor used by the user or their ISP.
Such is the case with the "router name" field.
In the case of the "Unnecessary Router Name
Requirement" bug, I am reporting to you (and to the
associated Linksys forums at forums.linksys.com) the
Router Name field should NOT be required. It should be
an option to leave the Router Name field blank.
The fact that the router name field MUST exist
(whether or not it is actually used or desired), is an
obvious security and privacy flaw in the otherwise
wonderful Linksys WRT54G router. Please fix this bug.
Thank you very much,
D. Hurley

Hi, I need help to secure my linksys wireless router, i tried the setup guide but i didnt work..

hello
I need help securing my linksys wireless router with speed boosters. In august me and some friends took over this rented house, and with the house we got their old internett system, we use a linksys router, This nett is open for everyone, but we want to secure it for other users. We didnt get the manual and i've tried the guide on your site but it says it cant be changed. The old owners didnt either know what to do. Is there some help i can get with this? Is there some buttom i can push to reset it and then make it possible?

Connect your computer using wire to router. Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser's address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name, if admin doesn't work reset router and do above step again. Go to wireless tab, here change wireless network name from linksys to any other name. Save the settings. Go to wireless security sub-tab here change security mode to WPA personal etc, and enter you secret key in passphrase/shared key, Save the settings.This secret key will be security key of your wireless network.

Why did the setting for my Linksys WRT54G router change spontaneously from encrypted to open mode?

I unplugged power to my Linksys WRT54G (802.11g) router for about six days. It had been set for WEP 128-bit encryption. When I replugged it, it identified itself as an open (non-encrypted) network. I could use it by setting up a new network connection (unencrypted) on my PC, but could not access it using the original (encrypted) PC network connection.
After reinstalling the router, and setting it for WEP 128-bit encryption, it works fine again.
Can anyone explain why the router spontaneously went from encrypted to non-encrypted mode, as a result of being powered down for several days? (Is this a bug or a feature?

Thank you. As noted, I reconfigured it & it works fine again. But do you have any idea why it "lost" its encryption setting by being powered-down?
In particular, is this likely to happen in future if I power-down Linksys?

My iphone was stolen. I blocked it on icloud. I bought a new one. Now I need the contacts from the stolen one that is now blocked. Can I get it?

a

If the contacts on the old phone were synced to a mail account or iCloud account, then they will be easy to recover. Just sign into your iCloud account on the new phone (Settings > iCloud) and then enable the 'Contacts' option. If the contacts were stored in your iCloud account, they will now appear on the phone.
If the contacts were stored in a mail account such as Gmail, Yahoo, etc, then add that mail account to the phone in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account. Then make sure the 'Contacts' option is enabled here as well.
If that still doesn't work you may need to try to recover them from an iCloud or iTunes backup of the old phone -- do you have one of those?

Will the iPad Mini connect to LinkSys WRT54G Router

Will the iPad Mini connect Via WiFi to a LinkSys Wireless G Braodband Router?
The model is WRT54G V5, SN CDFBOE865514 and Firmware is the latest 1.02.8 dated 5 Oct 2009
My wife's iPad 2 connects to it well but we have been unable to connect the new iPad Mini to it.
I have read in some of your notes that the Mini will only connect to Firmware 1.02.8n.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Help protect my Linksys WRT54G from the "curl" command which bypasses my security settings

It's way too easy to break into my Linksys WRT54G router!
Do you have firmware that will fix this vulnerability?
Instantly bypassing the administrator password, my fifteen-year old
neighbor broke into my Linksys WRT54G router (firmware revision v1.0.0.6)
in ten seconds simply by sending this one "curl" command to it via the
Internet from his home next door!
c:\> curl -d "SecurityMode=0&layout=en" http://192.168.0.1/Security.tri
This kid was kind enough to knock on my door today to tell me to fix it.
I invited him in, and from inside my own house, he showed me the Linksys
WRT54G command above which immediately disabled all my wireless security
WITHOUT him having to enter any password!
He showed me how to disable remote administration but he said the
vulnerability still exists until I get a new router. I can't believe
everyone with a Linksys WRT54G router is throwing it in the garbage.
Where/how can I find a firmware update that protects me from this curl
vulnerability?

To protect your router:
* disable remote management.
* enable WPA2 or WPA with a strong preshared key on the router.
That is essentially all you must do. This protects against the curl problem (from the outside). The benefits of the rest varies:
* set a strong, hard to guess password on the router.
That's always a good idea to prevent some guest coming over, plugging into your network and modifying the router. For that to be relevant the person either needs physical access to your wired LAN or the WPA key.
* disable UPnP
Good idea if you are worried you could install some malware on your computer. UPnP allows to set port forwardings for incoming connections from the internet. It allows a computer to automatically setup the forwarding to make a server accessible in the internet. You'll often need this for gaming. But it obviously can be exploited by malware.
* access server to https instead of http
With WPA in place on the wireless this is only really necessary if you worry about someone gaining physical access to your router. https protects the password transmission to the router. But then, if someone gains physical access to my router I think the protection of my password would be the least of my problems.
* disable wireless access to the router configuration
For this to be effective with WPA in place would require the attacker to crack WPA to get into your WLAN. WPA is considered secure at this time. Anyone cracking WPA with a strong key must have a lot of computing power and a lot of knowledge. I don't know if this setting would really prevent that attacker of gaining full access to the router. This setting may be useful if you have an occasional guest to which you grant wireless access to the internet...
* changing the default IP address from 192.168.1.1 to something else and turning off the DHCP server on the router
With the DHCP server in place changing the IP address is no mean of protection because the DHCP server assigns a correct IP address in your LAN. You have to setup static IP addresses on all computers and devices. However, if someone gained access to your LAN (wireless or wired) all you have to do is wait and listen to the LAN traffic. It usually takes a few seconds until some noisy windows computer will broadcast a message and you have picked up the IP addresses in the LAN
Some more things often mentioned with questionable benefits:
* turn off SSID broadcast
Supposed to make the WLAN "invisible". O.K. It does make it harder for the average Joe to check what WLANs are in the neighborhood and which channels they use to optimize the choice of channels and limit interference. It does also prevent accidental connection attempts. However, with WPA/WPA2 in place the WLAN is protected anyway. Anyone, who really wants to know if there is a network can scan with a wireless card in monitor mode. The SSID is transmitted unencrypted. Plus in average it requires more times and more power (on laptops) to connect to the network as the wireless card must actively try to connect to each configured WLAN on the computer to find out if the network is there or not. With SSID broadcast it simply scans for broadcasts and then knows the network is there...
* wireless MAC address filtering
Supposed to limit the computers which can connect to the WLAN. Only computers with the MAC address on the list can connect. Again, this only prevents accidental connection attempts. MAC addresses are transmitted unencrypted. It is easy to pick them up with a wireless scanner. Thus, for anyone who knew how to crack WPA the MAC address filter list will be the least of problems. Most wireless cards can be configured with any MAC address you like. But the list increases the amount of effort for you to add another wireless computer to your WLAN as you always have to remember to set it up correctly...

WRT54G router cannot access the Internet

My wireless PC can access the router but cannot access the Internet.
When I ping linksys.com - the ping times out; however, when I ping my ISP I get 4 pings back. When I ping the router the ping is successful as I get 4 pings back.
I am sure there is a fix for this problem. Can anyone help me get connected to the internet?
Thanks
I just got DSL in my area and installed it. I have a Linksys WRT54G router and a zyxek 660R DSL modem. I have a PC #2 in the room down the hall and a PC #1 in another room. I have a Wireless-G USB adapter in PC #2 (this is the antenna for the wireless connection). Everything is installed and PC #1 can connect to the internet through the modem and router. However PC #2 can only reach the access point (router) and will not access the internet. I can connect to the internet for PC #2 when an ethernet wire is used directly but it is not great to have a wire running down the hall. I pinged the router from PC #2 and the echos look fine. So it can certainly reach the router. When I use the Local Network tab and click on DHCP Clients table both PCs are displayed. So how can a PC use a wireless connection to reach the internet? I have spent 4 days already trying to get this to work. My ISP can't seem to help.
Thanks for your help.

hi... logon to router's setup page and try changing channel to 1 or 11, click on the advanced wireless settings and try reducing beacon interval to 50, fragmentation and RTS threshold to 2304, also try upgrading latest firmware on the router...also
if you are using Win XP system try uninstalling the adapter from the computer...click on start >> programs >> wireless G USB adapter >> uninstall, put the CD in for the adapter and restart the computer, one window pops up "found new hardware" try installing the drivers, no need to install WLAN software or utility and use windows WZC (wireless zero configuration) to manage wireless connection...check whether it works for you or not and let me know the results.

The Mozilla WHITE start page is blocking the upper left Firefox to Print to Print Preview, so i can not see what is on the Printer Glass

The BIG WHITE MOSTLY BLANK , MOZILLA START PAGE was blocking my use of PRINT PREVIEW, from the orange "Firefox" in the upper left corner.
I was told i was using an out of date version of Firefox.
But no "click here to update".
So i downloaded the new edition of Firefox.
And still, i can not see PRINT PREVIEW, because the large white screen of the MOZILLA START PAGE is blocking it.
I have selected a background wallpaper, so would rather not see ANY of the BIG WHITE START PAGE, at all !!
HEEEELP,,,,,,

Hi,
Can you please post a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot screenshot] of the start page when it is blocking the print preview.

What is the signiface of Account Assignment (Coding) Block: Details

Hi what is the signiface of Account Assignment (Coding) Block: Details
what is its effect in PO

Hi,
Material are procured as stock or non-stock materials. When you procure material which can be used in production of finished product ,stock is maintained.
Account assignment category describes how the procured material is being used (for eg: Cost Center, Sales Order, etc). It also determines how the accounting entries made when a GR document or IR document is posted.
When you use the Account Assignment Category "K", it means the material is allocated to a cost center for consumption. The Materials is accounted to the particular cost center.
Account Assignment Category "P" is used for materials that are required for the project related.
Hope it helps.
