Tracking Intruder on WRT54GS

I have a WRT54GS and I don't want to set up a secure connection. What happens when I mark somebody and track them as an intruder? Do they get a message or does it kick them off? Can I unmark them once I have marked them?

You can only track the MAC Address and the IP Address of the Intruder...It does not disconnect them from the Internet...You have to have a Secure Connection so that nobody else uses your Wireless Network...

  • Undo track as intruder in Network Magic

    Hi,
    I accidentaly created a problem. This is what happened: my router is not password protected (long story), therefor I regularly check Network Magic (for which I never registered so I guess I have limited options) and when I see something I don't recognise I click on 'track as intruder' and then remove it from the network. Now it seems I accidentaly branded a cell phone we use in the house as an intruder and removed it from the network and now it won't connect to Wifi anymore. I can't find an option to undo the tracking as intruder because the divice won't show up in Network Magic anymore.
    Can someone tell my how I unblock the phone? You might suggest removing Network Magic from my PC and reinstalling it, but I have no install cd or anything.

    A device tracked as intruder would still be able to connect to the wireless network. The said feature would just notify you each time a device tracked as intruder tries to connect to your network. What you can do is to forget the wireless network profile on your phone and try to reconnect. Also try to reboot your phone and your wireless router. Once the phone is already connected to the network, you should see it on the network map, so you can undo track as intruder.

  • Intruder Tracking

    I have AOL Network Magic as a  key tool in following who logs onto my WiFi Network. One thing I've been wondering though, when I find an intruder, how can I find out even more information about them, and possibly send them a message? I know I can easily stop these intrusions by setting up a Network Password, but since its my neighbors, I kind of wanna mess around with them for a little while, just spook em or something.
    Also, early this morning I saw an "Unknown" intruder for the first time. The Program says it could be labeled "Unknown" for any number of reasons. I have a MAC Address of the nameless intruder, and possibly an IP. How can I use either one of these to find out more information about them? Thanks.

    You can only track the MAC Address and the IP Address of the Intruder...It does not disconnect them from the Internet...You have to have a Secure Connection so that nobody else uses your Wireless Network...

  • How do I get iTunes 11 to play separate tracks that are intended to be played consecutively, even when in "shuffle"? (i.e., Van Halen's "Intruder" and "Oh, Pretty Woman")

    Any help would be most greatly appreciated!

    I believe you can shuffle by groupings, can't you?
    Get info for both tracks, and add the same information to the Grouping tag for both of them. Then, when shuffling, select to Shuffle by Grouping.
    That seems to work with me: I dimly recall setting this up with a lot of my classical music years ago, and it looks like that kind of shuffling still functions.

  • Track as intruder ??

    What does this function actually do ???

    Click on the intruder's icon and go over the details of the device listed on the right part of the map. The details list on the window will contain the intruder's MAC (media access control) Address. This is a unique identifier that is assigned to a computer's hardware number. To keep the intruder off, you can use the MAC address filtering feature on the router. Go over your wireless router settings to enable MAC filtering and simply enter the MAC address so the system permanently keeps it off your network.
    Hope this help.

  • I found an intruder in my WRT54G

    I didn't secure my router fast enough. When I went to do my first log in I found an unknown username and two intruder computers where accessing my network. I've put my username and password in. Then I set up WEP encryption. I didn't  use stronger encryption because I don't want to reduce the signal strength. But, the alien username can still be found on the drop down username login line. I'm guessing the intruder can still access my network. I can only find one place to change the password. I've done this. So, how can the intruder still be logging in? I've looked everywhere I can think of on the Linksys website for help. Plus, I Googled searched this issue. Then I tried to get a living person at Linksys to advise me on this. So, here I am. I sure would appreciate it if a knowledgeable person would have mercy on me and help me figure out what to do. Thanks in advance.

    There is no username drop down in the WRT. There is no place to set a username. You have to describe exactly where you find this information. So far it sounds as if those usernames are stored on your computer and not on the WRT.

  • WRT54G v.6 - Vista forgetting Network settings but not on XP? - help please :)

    Hello everyone! I hope someone can shed a bit of light on this, it's driving me crazy!
    I am using a WRT54G v.6 and Vista Ultimate and a dual-boot with XP on my desktop computer. I also have a laptop with Vista Home Premium. I have cable internet. Here's the thing:
    Sometime ago I lost my internet connection. A friend with the same router told me to unplug the router for a day and that it'll do the trick. It did... partially.
    I pluged it, inserted the installation CD (please keep in mind that I have no router knowledge at all) and everything went fine, until I shut down my computer. At the moment I had connected the desktop and laptop. When I turned the desktop on with Vista, it could not connect to the internet, although the laptop had no problems at all.
    I connected the modem directly to my computer and internet was fine, but if I plug it back to the router, nothing happens. So, I had to do the same thing again: unplug for a day, restart the settings and it's a go. I've done that so many times it's not funny anymore
    If I put my computer into hybernation, the router/vista works fine, but if i shut it down, I lose my internet connection on Vista.
    Has anyone dealt with these before? I'd really appreciate your help, and sorry for the long post
    Edit:
    Right now I had to install an update on my desktop. First, I intalled the recent firmware upgrade, reset all settings again and configured the router. Everything was fine. I installed the Windows update, had to reboot and bam! I lost my connection. I'm on the laptop right now.
    I can't even access the router on my desktop via 192.168.1.1. I have a limited or no connectivity message. It appears I have 2 networks, both public (I also tried private and nothing). I don't have internet access on none of them, although I did have before rebooting the computer). I don't have the warning icon anymore, tho.
    I tried to merge/delete the connections and it "appears" as one of them was deleted, but it's still there. It says: Network 2 (the name of the network) it's in use, and under type says: unmanaged. But still no internet connection on that computer.
    After some minutes, I was able to access the router via 192.168.1.1, but still no internet...

    Hello Klatch! Thanks for your reply!
    Well, thing is that it used to work before. Of course, I'll definately check if an update is available
    All these issues began maybe a month or 2 ago. Everything was working flawlessly. One time, I lost my connection and that's where everything got messed up.
    My main problem is that I get this "Unidentified Network" in the network and sharing center that seems to be causing the problem, as far as I know.
    I connect the router and get the Unidientified Network icon, plus another one. I deleted one, but it was still there. Even if I try to merge them, nothing happens.
    I even connected the modem directly and could not connect to the internet for some time, because Vista was still looking for the previous setting (back when the router was working). I had to unplug the modem several times, reboot, etc. I tried so many things that I lost track of what made the computer work again :lol.
    I tried to connect the router last night and nothing. The only thing that seems to work is unplugging the router for a long time/resetting it, then Vista will make the connection, but if I restart, the internet it's gone.Message Edited by jt001 on 04-05-200705:31 AM

  • WVC200 v1.2 - Successful Wireless & DynDNS Setup with WRT54G v.6 Router

    I would just like to report that after hours of tinkering, I managed to configure the camera to run wireless as well as link up with the dynDNS service. I thought I would post the method which worked for my WRT54g/WVC200 combo. Hopefully this will help anyone still stuck on setting it up.
    You want to set everything up using wired connections exclusively until everything is working and you are ready to jump to wireless.
    Reset your WRT54G router to factory default settings. If you can't access the admin page simply press the reset button on the back of the router and hold it down for about a minute (should reset to factory spec). I am using the latest firmware for each device (linksys phone support can help you with firmware if you don't have the latest stuff, or you can look for other threads on the topic).
    Now that your router has a fresh install, unplug its power supply for now. Turn your attention to wiring. Make sure you have a powered-off PC connected to one of the ethernet ports on the router.
    Power up your router first, giving it time to boot (usually under 30 seconds). Then power up your PC and pay a visit to your blank router at http://192.168.1.1  user:admin  password:admin and leave your internet settings alone for now (they shouldnt affect your camera setup later as long as you have a typical dynamic IP internet connection)
    In the first page for the router setup, make sure you use DHCP for the local network (I believe this is the default setting) and set a healthy DHCP user limit. *Apply/Save Settings*
     In the wireless menu, broadcast on G-only, channel 6, assign an easy to remember SSID ("smithnetwork" etc) *Apply/Save Settings* . In the wireless security tab, choose WPA, TKIP, and type in a good passcode (strongest passwords are 10 or more randomly typed letters and numbers) *Apply/Save Settings*
    Click on the Administration tab, set an equally strong password to access the router setup (can be the same as your wireless encryption passcode if its strong). Additionally, make sure UPnP and Remote Management are disabled, Wireless Management enabled. *Apply/Save Settings* (this should now prompt you for the password you just created in order to return to the router setup)
    Go ahead and connect to your newly broadcasting network from a laptop wireless card etc. (which should still give you limited connectivity even if you haven't configured your internet settings yet) by going to http://192.168.1.1 in your browser like I said earlier. If you manage to get to the router menu then you know your wireless network is functioning at least to a certain degree. If you are stuck here, its probably not too complex of a problem for linksys phone tech support to get you back on track.
    Note: If you have been tweaking camera settings prior to this attempt, you might want to turn it on without any network cables hooked up and try holding the reset button down (like we did to restore the router's factory settings earlier).
    Now get your WVC200 camera and hook up the ethernet cable to one of the open ethernet ports on your router and the port on the camera. Plug in the camera's power supply. At this point, the camera should boot up, calibrate the servo motors, and attempt to join your router's LAN. If your camera does ANYTHING but connect to the network successfully and give you a local IP, you have a problem I haven't encountered and you should re-read the instructions or consider an RMA.
    Default Local IPs (assuming each device joined the network in proper order)
    Router: 192.168.1.1
    Your ethernet-wired PC: 192.168.1.2
    Your wirelessly connected laptop: 192.168.1.3
    Your camera: 192.168.1.4 (this is what your camera should display on the LCD)
    At this point you can confirm your camera is properly placed on the DHCP client table by getting into your router setup and clicking the status tab > local network > DHCP clients table. You should find your 3 devices connected, assigned the above IPs, and you should see the camera (named "WVC200" on the list). Again, if this is not the case for you using factory settings, I reccomend talking to linksys phone support or RMA the item.
    Now close all your browsers and load a fresh internet explorer, navigating to the camera's local IP address (should be http://192.168.1.4 or whatever your client table listed). This is basically how you configured your WRT54g router earlier (even uses the same admin/admin login).
    Once you're in the camera management page, click on the setup tab. Note the sub-menu that appears on the left side, click on "basic" and make sure camera name is WVC200, LCD/LED enabled, Daylight savings checked, NTP automatic server un-checked, make sure Automatic (DHCP) is set.
    Wireless SSID "smithnetwork" or whatever you assigned it earlier in the router wireless setup, network type: infrastructure. *Apply/Save Settings*
    In the same Setup > Basic menu, at the very bottom of the page should be the wireless security settings ( default should be "disabled" ). Click the "edit security settings" button, select WPA Personal, it should be on the TKIP algorithm, and don't forget to enter the wireless WPA password you created earlier on the router. *Apply/Save Settings* also: click *Apply/Save Settings* on the main page again too just to be sure it applied. The security settings should now display when you reload the page.
    While we are in setup, click on the "users" link to the left, replace the default administrator login with your own custom one, making sure to check the "enable authentication" box. *Apply/Save Settings*
    At this point, you should have your WVC200 fully configured and broadcasting video on the wired LAN, if this is not the case, I would have no clue why it wouldn't work with the same equipment and method and you are out of luck.
    Now, for the moment of truth! You should have your router right next to you with wireless ready to go (you tested this earlier) and the camera antenna installed on your WVC200. Unplug the power from the camera, unplug the ethernet cable that connects the router and camera to one another, and plug the power back into the camera. After the lens calibrates and stops moving, the wireless LED should light up and probably start flickering as it negotiates a connection with your router. It should find your network and display an IP fairly quick (probably 192.168.1.4 default). If it takes longer than 15 seconds youre probably out of luck and should double-check everything in this post and move on to a different post if it still doesn't work.
    I used to spend hours at this point, wondering why it wouldn't join my perfectly functional wireless network. It would try to connect to the wireless network for about 5 minutes, it would appear to successfully connect sometimes, but it would display the incorrect local IP address and would refuse to function regardless of its self-proclaimed connectivity. I learned that the router's WPA2 encryption was overpowering the puny WPA + TKIP on the camera even though I was using AES/TKIP combo on the router (which was supposed to make the router compatible with original WPA + TKIP devices while still letting you use WPA2). Maybe Linksys can include a fix for this in future router/camera firmware.
    To make sure the wireless is functioning properly, open up an internet explorer window and try connecting to camera management page again (http://192.168.1.4 by default) while your camera still has no ethernet cable hooked up to it. Check to make sure you can see video etc. I never experienced signal problems like other users did. This combination of router/camera worked well (-21 dB with it sitting next to the router, -39dB in the other room)
    DynDNS Service setup:
    I basically figured out that while the DNS features on the camera might be useful to some, its still buggy and there is a MUCH more powerful dynDNS feature on the WRT54g router itself. Navigate to your router (default: http://192.168.1.1 ) like you did earlier and get into the setup page. Click the "DDNS" menu and select the dyndns.org, enter your username, password, and domain name. I am assuming you already have a free dyndns account created or would otherwise have no issue setting up an account with them, so I won't cover that in my post. By clicking *Apply/Save Settings* assuming you configured your internet access through the router like you always did, the router should ask your cable/DSL modem what its WAN IP is and display it (the dynamic internet IP address that was making life difficult for you). What's nice about the router handling this task is that the router is usually first to know when the modem changes the IP (therefore it will immediately log in for you and update the dynDNS).
    **Important** This camera uses port 80 by default, so while youre still logged into the router managment page, click on the "Applications & Gaming" menu and type an application name like "linksys" , start port 80, end port 80, TCP only, specify the camera's local DHCP address (default: 192.168.1.4) and don't forget to enable it by checking the box then *Apply/Save Settings*
    I would allow at least several hours for the dynDNS servers to apply the changes before becoming concerned, but who knows maybe it will work right away for you. At this point, you should have plenty of functionality to play with the rest of the features of the camera, enjoy! I will post any additions/revisions if need be.
    -Sloth

    Hello -sloth !
    Very easy understanding guide !
    I have made all what you suggested.
    But now I cannot add the camera in the monitor > setup page.
    I can see the camera in the camera list WVC200.
    IP 192.168.15.101
    port 80
    But when I press add, I get  "connection fail".
    Is the port still 80 - since the Channel is set to  6
    I have done no port forwarding as other has suggested.
    Checking with the browser at : 192.168.15.101
    Page can't be found .....
    The router says:
    WVC200 192.168.15.101 LAN 00:18:39:35:6A:13 23:24:26 
    The camera displays the same ip .......
    The router setup page : Local IP 192.168.15.1
        IP Address Range :  192.168.15. 100 to 149 
    I have made a system restore, and installed the camera sw again.
    If I unplug the lan and turn to wireless the camera LCD display: 192.168.1.115 DHCP
    But that page cannot be found ......

  • WRT54G freezes when mac connects with airport card

    I'm using WRT54G, i have plugged to it 3 things; cable modem, a PC desktop and a mac desktop. that all works great. When I connect via my mac laptop the router freezes, sometimes. i've been tracking it and there is no consistency of how long until it freezes or what seems to make it freeze. but it always freezes at some point. and when it does all the computers internet goes down until I restart the router. Any ideas what is happening? I appreciate your help!

    Hi-
    Did you install it correctly?

  • Linksys WRT54G Router set up

    Hi, I recently got hold of a WRT54G Router and am trying to set it up....unfotunately, my knowledge of this kind of stuff is, lets say, basic! haha
    I was wondering if anyone has set up this model (or any other model) with AOL as their ISP and if they could let me know what details I need to add or change on the set up page, and where to find it.
    Some of the main info I know I need is the Host Name and Domain name, which I'm somehow having trouble tracking down. Also, I think I need to set it up as in PPOE (I think thats right...), but am not totally sure what account I'm initially dialling in with...
    Any help would be brilliant! Thanks guys.

    okay... connect the DSL modem >> router >> computer, try resetting the router back to factory default settings by pressing the small reset button on the back panel of the router...power cycle the n/w by unplugging the power cable of the modem and the router, wait for couple of mins. and power up the modem first, once the modem is rebooted power up the router...logon to the router's setup page, open I.E. and in the address bar type 192.168.1.1, it would ask for username and password, put "admin" as a password without any username, liksys setup page pops up...try changing encapsulation "automatic configuration DHCP" to "PPPoE" and try setting up username and password provided by the ISP and save the settings...click on the status tab on the router and try connecting to the PPPoE server....let me know the results

  • Wrt54gs v5 and softphone

    I had a heck of a time getting the xlite to work with this router (wrt54gs) back when I got the phone.  I got some good info on triggering that helped a lot and fixed my original connectivity issues with the phone.  Recently another issue (or maybe a similar one) has come up.
    The phone will load and operate great initially.  when it sits for awhile (some days a little as 20 minutes) it seems to disconnect, sort of.   what I mean is that it reads connected, but it isn't sending or receiving.  It never happens if I bypass the router and come straight off the modem.  
    When it happens, if I pull the power for a few seconds and repower it, the phone will be fine again for about 15-20 minutes.   It never happens when I'm actually using the phone, only when it's in "standby".  When it happens my browsers are working fine, so it's not a complete shutdown of the router or anything like that.
    I've had a similar thing with my comp itself.  Once or twice a month (I 'm on this one at least three or four times a day) when I open the browser it times out.  The connection reads fine, but it's not really working.  I cycle the power on the router and it's fine again.
    The fact that it also happens with the browser (after the comp isnt used for several hours) sometimes and that the power cycling clears it up immediately for both situations seems to point to the router.
    I am still using the original firmware.  I haven't upgraded it because unless it's going to affect this issue, I'd rather not change what's working.
    I have also deleted and reinstalled both the browser and the phone, just in case I got a dicked up download.
    It's not a fatal error thing.  More of an inconvenience.  Just looking for some thoughts on whether or not I'm on the right track or what else I should be looking at.

    I would suggest you to upgrade the router's firmware and re-configure the router from scratch..You can download the firmware from www.linksys.com/downloads...On the router setup page,Click on the Administration tab to upgrade the firmware.
    After upgrading the firmware,reset the router,power cycle it and re-configure the router from scratch.

  • Replace 'action' and 'cut'  audio with buzz track

    I am editing some mxf 1080i footage, and I need to replace the director's calls to 'action' and 'cut' at the beginning and end of shots with some of the neutral atmosphere elsewhere in the shot. Is there a simple and speedy way of doing this within Premiere itself?
    At the moment it seems easier to export the sound as an aiff file and then edit them in an eternal program that can copy atmosphere and do an overwrite paste on the intruding bits of sound and them import the file back into Premiere (exported wav files used like this seem to effect the original sound when I export the result into mxf). I have four mono tracks of sound btw. Perhaps there is a VST out there that does the trick?

    Copy/Paste doesn't work within Premiere?

  • Problems with the WRT54GS

    Hello everyone!
    I've just bought the WRT54GS router and am having some difficoultys with it. I've managed to get it up and running with the CD, that came along within the package. And the first impresion was WOW. Compared to my previous router, this is lightning fast.
    Ok, to the problems. My internet freezes quite often now. It's like its loading a page, but nothing happens. Doesnt even open up the home page or go to the router control panel. It really gets anoying, becouse it happens quite often. The various downloading programs like nTorrent are running nicely in the background... !?
    The next questin is the range of this routers. My previous router didnt have enough signal to reach my brother's room on the other side of the apartment, and it's not a big apartment. But, neither does this router. How can that be? Could it be something in the walls? When I put the laptop next to the router, the connect is instantenious and the internet works like a charm, but just 10 meters away... it doesnt eve find the signal.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Connect your PC directly tot eh modem and see if your web pages are still slow to load like you described.  Now the Signal can be boasted with High gain antennas or even a range extender.  If your PC still acts sluggish and the web is slow to load then clean out unwanted or unneeded programs, clean out your Temp folder, and Temp Internet files/cookies and try it again.  I like Ad-aware for cleaning out spyware and tracking cookies and maintain my PC's everyweek.  If your PC loads up fast like before then check your routers firmware and upgrade if needed, power cycle the router then reconfigure it.  That should clean out the cob-webs in the routers RAM and speed things up a bit.

  • WRT54GS Router torrent problem on 2 PCs

    Hiya. I recently connected 2 PCs to a WRT54GS ver6 Linksys router. The PCs each use a WUSB54GS ver2.1 adapter to connect to it. Everything is fine, however I'm having a problem with torrents being limited on one PC. The first PC connects fine, everything runs smoothly and fast. However when I try to connect to the same torrent with the other PC, its greatly limited. Its never given full access, and whereas normally it would have 20+ seeders, I'm lucky to get 2. Download speed on the first PC is 100kbps, whereas the second is 5-20kbps. I've looked around the internet and been unable to find this specific problem. It seems as if 1 PC has been giving the OK by the router, but the other is being throttled back for some reason. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks

    Running peer-to-peer software is a known cause for router slow downs and disconnections.  When a "torrent" is running, it will typically make over 100, and often over 200 connections.  The router must keep track of all these connections.  The router has a limited amount of memory to work with, so this leads to router slow downs and disconnections.
    If possible, have only one computer running torrents at a time.  Additionally, you can go into the peer-to-peer software and reduce the number of connections that the software can make.   This effectively limits the impact that the torrent is having on the router, and this sometimes helps.
    Alternatively, if one of your computers has this "slow" problem even when torrents is not running on the other computer, then perhaps you simply have a poor wireless connection.  This can happen even with a 100% signal strength.  There are many things that cause poor wireless connections:
    First of all, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
    Poor wireless connections are often caused by radio interference from other 2.4 GHz devices. This includes wireless phones, wireless baby monitors, Bluetooth (including Bluetooth game controllers), microwave ovens, wireless mice and keyboards, wireless speakers, and your neighbor's wireless network. Even some 5+ GHz phones also use the 2.4 Ghz band. Unplug these devices, and see if that corrects your problem.
    In your router, try a different channel. There are 11 channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Usually channel 1, 6, or 11 works best. Check out your neighbors, and see what channel they are using. Because the channels overlap one another, try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors. For example, if you have a strong neighbor on channel 9, try any channel 1 through 4.
    Also, try to locate the router about 4 to 6 feet above the floor, in an open area. Do not locate it behind your monitor or near other computer equipment or speakers. The antenna should be vertical.
    Hope this helps.

  • WRT54GS firewall

    Hi
    i have the wrt54gs but how can i be sure that the firewall within it is working properly. i still get some alerts on my mcafee firewall centre but shouldnt the router stop most of these attempts to my ports?

    Occasionally, some things do make it through the router, and that is part of the reason that I also run a software firewall.
    The router's firewall primarily protects the router.  The router's NAT (network address translation) provides most of the protection for your computers.  The NAT is always on.  The NAT provides protection that is somewhat similar to the protection provided by a software firewall.
    To check out your system, first verify that your router firewall is on.  Enter the router and go to the "Security - firewall" tab.  Make sure the firewall is enabled.  Also, most users will also want to check the boxes labeled "Block WAN requests" and "Filter Ident (port 113)".
    On the "Administration" tab, most users will want UPnP set to "disabled".  If UPnP is enabled, programs on your computer can open the router's ports for extended periods of time.  Unless you need UPnP, it should be disabled.
    If you had to change any router settings, power cycle your entire system.
    Next go to a security web site and test your ports to see if they are "stealth".  You can do this at:
    Gibson Research (grc.com) - use the "Shields UP" program, and test all the commonly used ports 0 thru 1056.
    Symantec.com - do a "Security Scan"
    If you find any "open" ports, you probably have some software on your computer that is opening the ports.  (Having UPnP disabled stops some, but not all of this problem.)  This could be almost any program including games, video conferencing, P2P networking, or even a virus.  It is usually hard to track down what program is opening ports.  Sometimes checking the router logs will help determine what program is doing it.  If you know how to use MSCONFIG and shut down some of your startup programs, sometimes this will help track down the offending program.  If all of your ports are "stealth", you will get less complaints from your software firewall.
